Turnbound News

[p]As you probably could tell by the title of this post, we’re in Steam Next Fest! To all the new spirits haunting our board game who found us through the event, welcome! We hope you have fun and tell your friends! [/p][p][/p][p]We encourage you all to get involved in our Discord and/or our Steam Community hub, whether it is by sharing builds, discussing items, or letting us know that something is horribly unbalanced 🙀 We try to read and get involved as much as we can!

If you want to support the game, or us as a studio, the best thing you could do at this stage is wishlist the game, or review the demo. This helps us hugely, and we appreciate any and all of you who do so![/p][p]

[p]Hi Everyone! [/p][p]
It has been so much fun watching folks play our new game this last week, but we have had a few of our most dedicated players pop up and ask “ hey, what about Total Loadout?” For those of you who are new, Total Loadout was the prototype we released earlier this year. You could call it the spiritual predecessor to Turnbound.[/p][p][/p][p]When we started development just over a year ago, we knew we wanted to create an autobattler that drew inspiration from all our favourite games, while also standing on its own merits. Total Loadout was our first attempt at this. Thanks to the feedback we received from our community, we were able to really assess what was working and what wasn’t and distil down what exactly we wanted to build. [/p][p][/p][p]Thus Turnbound was born - it still has the soul of Total Loadout, but (we hope) it provides players with a more unique, complex and deep player experience! 

With that in mind - we will be sunsetting the Total Loadout Steam page as we focus on Turnbound.[/p][p][/p][p]That said, this will be an ongoing process, and we want your feedback. We want you to help us break, expand and balance this game - we want to try your suggestions and ideas for how to make it better. The best place to do this with us is on our Discord server!

[p]Hello everyone! [/p][p][/p][p]It has been an exciting few days for us watching people find and play our game! It is always terrifying whenever you put something out there, but seeing the reactions from players and creators has been so reaffirming![/p][p][/p][p](Btw, did you check out Bobbooo’s Stream & Retromations video? 🎉 tysm!)[/p][p][/p][p]We also wanted to take the opportunity to answer one of the most common questions we have seen: will this game be Free-to-Play? The answer is, no - we won’t have any Free-to-Play mechanics - you buy the game, you own the game.[/p][p][/p][p]We are still figuring out the exact best price point for Turnbound, but you can expect it to be on par with other indie games in the genre. We would love to be able to offer DLCs in future, but that is a problem of success that we don’t have immediate plans for. Our main goal is to provide players with a complete autobattler experience in the main game first.[/p][p][/p][p]Onto the patch notes! 
[/p][p][/p][p]Servers will be going down at 17:00 BST while we push a patch and then will be back up again in about 15 minutes![/p][h3]
