Description

Tristan Lamprey is a rogue, a cheat, an aspiring artist, and a failed magical apprentice... And he’s on the run from the dread Archmage Xargoth! The Archmage has vowed to hunt him down and punish him for deflowering his beautiful daughter, Princess Sumita. Luckily for Tristan, he has been magically teleported to the hinterlands of the kingdom: the tiny riverside mining village of Sinners Landing. There he's determined to make a new life for himself, ingratiate himself with the locals, and have a really, really good time.




Development

Flexible Media started the development of Sinners Landing in 2023. Hints and teasers of the game have been shared to the Paradise Lust community on Discord during early development, and an alpha version of the game is currently available to Flexible Media supporters on Patreons and Subscribestar. The team is updating this build near-monthly, much as they did with Paradise Lust.



Gameplay

Sinners Landing is a humorous and sexy 2D Card-Battler/RPG adventure. Playing as Tristan, a rogue magician's apprentice, the player romances the beautiful girls of the village, builds skills and abilities, and uses them to fight through a roguelike-style dungeon using a card-battling mechanic. Each crawl into the dungeon is different, with an ever-expanding world of choices, monsters, and combats.




Features

• Fully animated sex scenes with over a dozen different women.
  
• Puzzles and challenging subgames.
  
• Replayable dungeon adventures.
  
• Expanded combat system.
  
• Deckbuilder.
  
• Storybased gameplay.

Empire Chronicles (Version 1.4.22) - Minor Update

• Added a help section for enemy weakness.
  
• Added options menu to change the size of the weakness icons.
  
• Bug Fix: Fixed a few impassible tiles in Fort Redmouse.
  
• Bug Fix: Fixed a few impassible tiles in the Temple of Barbigos.
  
• Bug Fix: Fixed an impassible tiles in the Holden Farmstead.

Happy to have you join us for more behind the scenes of what our team is working on and why.


The next major feature we are adding is the ability to fight mages, starting with rival mages. James and Tyler are working on this.

Zach and Nolan are working on better NPC reactions and greetings. Tech we developed and will use in the dynamic quest system on the way.

No release date yet.




Last week I gave a rundown of this update’s features. Mark, Michel, Thomas, Jessi, Josh, and Phil are working on it.

Today I’d like to focus in on one of the big features: a new User Interface (UI).

As we build the game we get a better sense of how it should play, mainly from your feedback. We’re taking that knowledge to the interface.


Here is a WIP mockup of what we are thinking for the HUD.

• Bottom left is your character portrait with gold and legacy score
  
  
  • Yes, you can customize the look of your char.
    
  • No, you can’t have more than 1 billion gold. 😆
• Center is the spell schools, which will contextually hide/expand to show spells you know for the current situation (world/combat), as well as primary buttons like character sheet, relationships, quest log, inventory, etc.
  
  
• Top left are buffs/debuffs affecting you
  
  
• Middle right are notifications for events, like if an NPC sent you a letter and/or gift, or warning of some upcoming event like an NPC birthday. You know, game notifications!

We looked at a lot of game quest screens and generally like this layout. Showing a history of discussion from the quest is an important feature raised by players.


We put out weekly patches. As I write this, we’re investigating a “black screen after combat” soft lock issue reported over the weekend. This is serious and if we can resolve it quickly, we’ll hotfix it.

The long-awaited Mullet Mad Jack demo is now available for free testing on Steam starting today, February 5, 2024! Are you ready to embark on this adventure and infiltrate a massive skyscraper, facing off against robots?

Mullet Mad Jack is a game set in a retro-cyberpunk future, inspired by old-school anime, where billionaire robots are the only elite. Your goal as Jack is to rescue the planet's most famous influencer in a live show broadcasted to everyone via the internet. In a world where DOPAMINE is as essential as air, killing enemy robots is your only way out, and the violence-thirsty audience is your only ally.



To access the demo, simply visit the Mullet Mad Jack page on Steam and download it for free or click the link below. And don't forget to add the game to your wishlist to not miss the release of the final version.

Be one of the first to explore this nostalgic and adrenaline-filled world of old-school anime.

Mark the date on your calendar and get ready for an unforgettable journey. Until then, see you on Discord to keep the excitement high!
