Hear ye, hear ye! A Necrofugitive news announcement doth come!
Greetings and salutations, dear friends. This is your friends over at Black Garden Studios with additional news and information about Necrofugitive and the latest other projects from our studio!
First and foremost, we thank you for your continued support over the days, weeks and months, and hope you will continue to enjoy playing the Necrofugitive demo and all it has to offer. As we continue to develop the title, it brings us great joy to hear your feedback and see your content online, be it a playthrough or article related to the game.
As for the game itself, today we are excited to share a new character that you will encounter during your exodus from the realm of your oppressors. Before we get too much into the nitty gritty of it all, it is only fair that we give a small spoiler warning. Those who wish to experience Necrofugitive blind without any external knowledge should skip the following section. With that all said…
A New Enemy Unit Draws Near!
Veteran players of the Necrofugitive demo may already be somewhat familiarized with the morale and fear systems that we have in play. The horrors and chaos of the prisoner’s escape does much to strike fear into the hearts of soldiers just as swiftly as dwindling morale will cause them to turn heel and flee for their lives. Joining the kingdom’s forces is a special unit that knows no fear.
Meet the Paladin.
The Paladin is a special unit type that we have heard mentioned and requested by name across the years from our players, and one that we are excited to finally reveal. As implied by the previous passage, the Paladin’s got a few unique qualities that set him apart from his comrades. First and foremost is an unwavering devotion to his cause. While most units can be scared into submission, the Paladin is unflinching. Conviction and fortitude drive his every move, and that translates into a morale boost for his comrades as well.
In his arsenal, the Paladin employs a great shield that can protect himself and others from harm, allowing him and his allies to advance safely. You’ll find his tenacity to be both inspiring and frustrating to contend with. Please look forward to meeting him in Necrofugitive.
We’ll have more information to share about the title at a later time.
Game Release — DEAD MAN’S HAND: Card Roulette Action Available Now!
For those of you keeping up with our latest updates, you may have heard that Black Garden Studios has been working on another title as well.
DEAD MAN’S HAND: Card Roulette Action is a 2-8 player online multiplayer title that combines Russian roulette with the unpredictable nature of card games. Mixing elements of Steampunk, Dystopian-Cyberpunk and robotic gamblers with revolvers and playing cards, we’re confident that this title will give you and your friends something to talk about.
As mentioned in our previous update, we began working on this game so that its release could help generate additional funding to work on Necrofugitive. That means every single sale brings us that much closer to being able to work on game development full-time.
We will be supporting DEAD MAN’S HAND: Card Roulette Action with free content updates over time depending on the overall sales of the game, so be sure to throw your hat in the ring. If you were looking for a way to support the studio, this is your chance. It costs only $5, so don’t be shy about getting a copy for your friends as well.
That's all for this update! Thanks for reading and continuing to support the team over at Black Garden. We'll be checking in again with more news and announcements in the future, so be sure to stay tuned.
