This is made with AGS?

TheFrighter · Thu 27/06/2019 16:30:03

Look as a Pendulo Studios product!

You work for them, Hexy?

Hmmm, any plans for a DRM-free release, so not forced to use steam?

At this moment we can confirm only Steam platform, but keep your fingers crossed for us, and maybe one day you'll see a DRM-free release as well:)

That's such a shame you're only putting it on steam.

It looks amazing, but I don't use games with steam-DRM attached.

Looks beautiful, good luck with it.

Believe or not, but we really want to be on other platforms, and we will work hard to achieve it

This looks like a fantastic game, I just added it to my whishlist on Steam!

DBoyWheeler · Fri 05/07/2019 10:47:11

Wow! For a non-AGS adventure game, this looks really cool.

Figured I'd help get the word out via my WordPress blog. Good luck with getting this completed--I'd love to see someone do an LP of this. Maybe even someday try it out myself.

Sure, hopefully there's a walkthrough to help me play it before making a video. I kinda have this mindset of "know before you go", so to speak.

Hi everyone!

This time we would like to give you some insights into the main characters of Brassheart.
Besides Pola, a spunky pilot, and her father, a brilliant engineer, prof. ZagÃ³rski, we want to tell you more about Pola's companions that will support her throughout the game - a clever little automaton Pascal, a perfect mechanic Manfred and an eccentric painter Tamara.
Although today we're focusing on the good guys, it does not mean we will not bring more details about the rebellious supermachine Valkiria and her loyal troops in the future

Which character seems the most interesting to you?

Regarding DRM, I often hear it said that Steam does not enforce it - developers are able to put games on Steam without it if they wish. Not sure how true this is, or if there are Steam-specific drawbacks to doing it, but might be worth looking into...

The game looks gorgeous, by the way!

Are you aware that you can't even download a game from steam, without being forced to install the stupid steam client?

Ben X · Thu 08/08/2019 08:30:00

Yes. But that often is not counted as DRM in these discussions, which mainly refer to not being able to download a standalone copy. Please refer to my proviso "not sure how true this is" - I'm not positioning myself as an expert here.

I still live in hope you'll offer DRM-free at some point.
So many of us are put off by steam-DRM.
And with all the DRM-free options available to you - GOG, Direct Download, Humble Bundle, Itch.io - it's crazy not to.
And it would mean more customers able to buy it.

Hi Frodo! Thank you for the comment.
You are right. It is great to be available on DRM-free platforms and as I mentioned before we are working to achieve it. As soon as we have more information, we will let you know.

The demo is out now, hoping that the full release is near!
