For the King - Greenlit and Music Stretch Goal

by Myrthos, 2015-09-25 12:52:27

For the King has been Greenlit recently, so the game will be available on Steam next year.

First things first, we were just Greenlit by Steam and the community! A heartfelt thanks to all those who supported us. We climbed quickly to the top 10 in only 5 days and woke up this morning to the good news. We are so thankful to have been Greenlit so quickly and we owe it all to you.

And there is some more information on the music stretch goal:

As we near the inevitable Furry Companions stretch goal, we have our sites now on The Sound of Music stretch goal. The Sound of Music will add musicians and musical instruments to the game along with some potentially awesome mechanics. Primarily a support class, musicians make everyone around them better through their inspiring songs and ballads.

We'll be experimenting with some unique mechanics for this class like having them guarantee a successful slot for other party members if they successfully play an inspiring ballad. However if they miss a few notes it may have the opposite effect, so you'll have to use this ability wisely. They can potentially use the reverse of this ability against their enemies, forcing them to fail a slot. In this manner they can neutralize enemy special attacks and critical strikes if they're on key.

Different instruments will allow for different abilities so the option will also be there for them to play ballads of destruction doing AOE type damage to groups of enemies. Think Fire Lutes! We're really excited about this class and can't wait to share our ideas and progress on it with you.
