In case you aren't familiar with the game, Vigilantes is a crime themed, turn based RPG, whose primary emphasis is on tense tactical battles, the use of surveillance to locate criminal activity, deep character development, resource management, and story telling.

If you get a chance to try it, please let me know what you think!

Take care,

Vigilantes: New Gang Illustration & Development Video
Hello again,

I'd like to share the most recent illustration from Vigilantes, which shows one of Reiker City's three gangs, The Church of The Final Exodus, in the middle of a bizarre cult ceremony. Illustration here

A new development video has also been released, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=172kCX6wIa8&list=PL3F4ZY8KMRwz5s_emS-pmTEwtI1hTdf8G&index=9

Thank you for reading!

Vigilantes: Update
Fourteen months have passed since development began on Vigilantes, and there's some good news: an alpha version will be made available within the next 6 weeks. The alpha will be free, available through indie DB, and will contain a handful of levels from the game. This will allow you to be among the first to try an exciting new game for free, while feedback will be very useful to me in tuning Vigilantes.

For now, here's a video bringing you from the splash screen, through the main menu, and all the way to an encounter between Sam Contino, the protagonist, and a group of street thugs. Comments, questions and criticism are welcome!

Current WIP Development Video - Crime Themed Turn Based RPG
Hello!

Since releasing Deadstone on Steam, and between the later updates, I've been hard at work on a new game. I played a lot of X-Com, Fallout, and Jagged Alliance when I was younger, and the turn based genre is very dear to me, so I decided it was time to make one.

Nine months later, and things are beginning to take shape, although there is still much to be done. This development video covers a mission from the game where the protagonist encounters a potential ally. This ally has been lured to a desolate part of the city, and ambushed by a group of paramilitary survivalists. The player and their newfound ally must fight their way out, and escape.

Here's a link to the video if you'd like to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AOYSsnt5fA

And here's a video showing how firing from full cover works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSu7R17RBK8

If you'd like occasional updates on the development of this game, you are more than welcome to stop by my facebook page, at: https://www.facebook.com/Timeslipsoftworks

I'd really like to hear what you think, so if you have any questions, comments, or observations, it would be fun to talk to you about them!

Take care!
