Walkerman [Act 1 Released]

[Scalemail]

 

Walkerman is an Adventure Game/Visual Novel about hunting supernatural creatures. These creatures follow rules similar to old folk tales about vampires and garlic, or werewolves and silver bullets; rules that must be exploited to defeat them. Each act of Walkerman centers on a creature and the process of investigating it. Players will study the monster in order to ascertain its weaknesses, gather the necessary items, and then confront it in battle. Combat takes place on an isometric, pseudo-board game in which the player selects actions from a list of options. These battle sequences have multiple solutions, depending on the player's collected items and their knowledge of the monster. Players also steer the protagonist through his personal life in a similar fashion: deciding whom to trust, where to borrow money, etc which alters how the story progresses.

Greenlighted!

Welcome to Fuwanovel and best of luck completing your VN and getting art assets

[Abyssal Monkey]

This sort of reminds me of Sorcery!, just kind of.  I'll look for it again once its a little more finished.  At least it's not one of those feels games that people seem to like.

 

Good luck on this, it might be the first OELVN that I even bother to look at.

Holy Cripes, this looks amazing! Hope the Kickstarter succeeds.

[Scalemail]

Thanks for the responses. We're off to an okay start, considering we're just running off small vn communities right now. Again, if you'd like to support the game but aren't interested in Kickstarter, you can always vote for us on Greenlight or tell your friends on twitter, tumblr, etc.

So we were saving this for a little later in the campaign...

 

But I'll share it now. Here's a little showtune from Nora's route, wherein she attempts to educate Jorgen on the benefits of finance:

That finance tune is just amazing!~ XD Seeing that makes me immediately want to back this project

Update #4 on the KS, regarding our signing with Sekai Project and plans for the future: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/574761396/walkerman/posts/1262687

 

Thanks to everyone that supported us so far!

We're now gathering feedback on Walkerman's art direction, as it's become apparent that some VN fans don't enjoy Western art very much. You can leave your thoughts here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MHRSTVBor in this very thread.

[Darklord Rooke]

Weird, the art is more beautiful than a lot of anime inspired art going around. Also Cinders didn't contain anime art and it did just fine.

[Scalemail]

Well, the change of direction is not set in stone yet. Right now I'm just gathering information on why the funding is proceeding a lot slower than was expected.

[Darklord Rooke]

Marketing.

 

Also you haven't built up a lot of hype with your gameplay video, which is just the slow tutorial that occurs in the prologue. 

 

Your pitch also needs a bit of work. The art looks gorgeous though, and the premise is interesting.

[Scalemail]

We're currently at 81% funded with two days to go on our Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/574761396/walkerman

 

Reminder that you can download the free prologue chapter at our itch.io page if you haven't already done so.
