Title: Rosewater - A Western drama set in the world of Lamplight City - NEW TRAILER
Post by: Grundislav on Mon 24/06/2019 16:32:13
Grundislav Games Presents:

The Story:
It's been several years since Harley Leger left New Bretagne and headed west, hoping to leave the past behind and make her way as a freelance writer. After arriving in the sleepy border town of Rosewater, a seemingly trivial assignment for the local paper leads to the hunt for a missing man's fortune—and the story of the century.

Harley and her ragtag posse embark on a harrowing journey across Western Vespuccia, facing bandits, rebels, ruthless oil barons, and many more obstacles on their quest for fame and riches.

Features:
- A thrilling treasure hunt with 5 travel companions. How you treat and interact with them affects the story.
- Traditional adventure game puzzles (i.e. inventory-based) some with more than one solution.
- Fully rotoscoped animations, including cinematic closeups.
- High resolution 1280x720 graphics (yes, that's 720p!)
- Full music score and voice acting.

Release: 2024

This is awesome.  :)

Some obstacles in Rosewater will have multiple solutions. For example, you might want to help this poor fellow out by solving some puzzles, in exchange for him letting you into that building.

Or, you could just punch his lights out.

But be careful: violent actions have their consequences.

Incredible poster! One small thing though. I don't see anything in the poster that indicates the game is anything other than a normal Western. Maybe making the pistol slightly more steampunk or some other kind of hint like an airship cruising by in the background?

Maybe it's so they are easier to open when your drunk? You just have to walk (or stumble) through them?

Great demo! Without even thinking about it, I gave Bonnie MacFarlane's voice (Red Dead Redemption) to the protagonist and E. B. Farnum's voice (Deadwood) to the town greeter. Looking forward to the full game. The doctor has quite the strut.

I realize I've been neglecting this thread a bit! Rosewater is still in production, although will most likely now be a 2022 release.

Meanwhile, you can wishlist Rosewater on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/Rosewater/).

I am sorry, I did not know we were not allowed to make comments about games in the production section... I will never post a question again. And if they not allowed then delete them... Crazy to do to me just for asking about a release date. So any game in 'games in production'  section can not talk about?
Why can I comment in that thread then.. I think you are just picking on me.. I look for older games and some I have been looking out for on your site, then when that time comes and no release there is nothing I can do to find out about that game. Old thread or not, your site told me something, and I try n find out about it you scold me..  Nice guy. I take that as a threat, as all I did was inquire about something on your site. I donate anonymously for I am off grid and have my people send it.
There goes my donation, a response for the threat you made to me unnecessarily. You will stop others on this site from making money from me if I cannot find out about these things.


Grundislav,
thank you very much. I am sorry I did not know your thread was old and that you cannot bring up old threads.. Crazy but I dont make the rules. I dont have twitter for I am off the grid. I only check in here from time to time.. I will try and follow you somewhere else and I will let my friends know to do the same. We are all awaiting this release..

Stop. Just stop.

The whole "whoa is me" crap isn't going to fly here.

You have been told on 14 separate occasions to stop digging up old threads and to read the forum rules. Yet you continue, year after year, to return and ignore all previous warnings.

The fact that you did not read the rules (or read them but think you don't have to follow them or can't comprehend them) is irrelevant. Excuses are irrelevant. Playing the victim is irrelevant.

If you want to post here, you will follow the rules or you will be banned.

If you need further clarification you can send me a PM but do not continue this conversation in this thread.

Dear Darth Mandarb, remember when the Strangeland team launched their Steam page, and I posted about it in the in-production thread, and you locked the thread and gave me a little rebuke with "did you just dig up a thread that hasn't been posted to in almost a year?"?

Games spend years in development and often have periods where there's not much to announce. Getting a Steam page is a significant step and worthy of an announcement. Where was I supposed to post about this if not the in-production thread?

Sigh. I didn't give you a "rebuke". I asked a question (which you didn't answer).

It wasn't your thread to bump. It wasn't your news to announce.

This isn't complicated. There are rules. The rules are enforced. It's quite simple.

Any more off-topic nonsense will be removed.

Yes, this game has taken a very long time, but it's nearly done! We finished recording all the VO on September 7th, and I'm currently working on all the remaining animations. The updated release window is now Spring 2024.

Speaking of animations, here's some campfire socializing:
