Outcast Tales: The First Journey News

Devlog: Mule

Hi, everyone!
Today we present a very special enemy - the Mule.



This “gentleman” would rather not participate in the battle at all. All he cares about is the cargo (and life obviously). To get away with both this scavenger will need 2 turns: one to find an opening for escape and the other to run for it.



Finally, an opponent who isn’t trying to take your life!
What? You want to get his goods? You better act quickly and shoot the slippery fellow before he leaves the battlefield. Be sure, everybody else won’t just stand watching: they’ll unleash hell on your team.



Took the mule down and won the fight? Get a valuable piece of equipment as a bonus! Don’t overestimate yourself: the only thing worse than not getting bonus equipment is losing the lives of your crew members.

Take care and stay alert in the desert!

Devlog: Tamer

Hello, everyone! The last available character enters the scene - the Tamer!



The desert is filled with hideous creatures, who would send any sane person running for their lives. Not the Tamer, not only she’s not afraid of the beasts but has a way to communicate with them. Her vicious pet hellbird is living proof.

Her starting abilities:

Overwatch - hellbird flies into the skies, watching over a chosen ally. If the target will get attacked, the pet will attack the enemy with all it’s might, dealing some damage in the process.





Diving attack - the tamer selects an enemy and sends a hellbird to take them down. Whoever gets chosen is going to have a bad time: if the damage doesn’t kill them, the bleeding probably will.



And that’s just the beginning. Tamer can learn both elimination and support abilities and while she starts as an aggressive damage dealer, she can dip more into protecting her teammates. Or just double down on completely destroying the opposition.

Well, that’s the whole roster for now. Don’t forget, these are called backgrounds for a reason: those are just a start for your characters. It’s up to you and fate to decide how they’ll end up after the journey is over.

Devlog: Alchemist

Hi, everyone! Today our guest is the Alchemist!



Nobody knows if the alchemist left his brothers and sisters from the technomancers guild by his choice or was expelled because of his questionable experiments in chemistry and medicine. The “scientist” didn’t give up on his research and is ready to test his potions in the field. Now he can be a part of your team!

Alchemist’s starting abilities are as weird as he is:

Battle cocktail v0.4 - the researcher throws his prototype potion into the enemy, dealing damage over time until the end of the fight. There is a twist though: it also protects the enemy from all your attacks by giving them a small amount of armor.



Pain inhibitor - the Alchemist shoots a dart into an unsuspicious ally granting them short-term pain tolerance (which is represented by armor they gain until the end of the turn).



Want more? You have to know that the Alchemist is not capable of learning any Elimination abilities and has to focus entirely on Support and Maneuvers. He can still deal damage to the enemy, but the character will truly shine in a team with more murder-oriented teammates.

Defeat your enemies, advance the science and remember to be alert in the desert!

Devlog: Mercenary

Hello, everyone!
Time has come to showcase yet another background available for your Ragtag Crew! Today it’s the Mercenary!



Mercenary is a former elite bodyguard equipped with pieces of ancient technology. He puts them to good use protecting his allies with shields and tearing through groups of enemies.

Mercenary starts with 2 abilities:

Piercing beam - Mercenary uses his particle projector to hit two targets in a straight line dealing moderate damage.



Protect - Mercenary covers himself and a chosen ally with a small force field granting both characters shields.



That’s only the beginning. Mercenary is capable of learning the other Elimination or Support abilities. Use it to push him in the direction you want. Will your Mercenary be an unbreakable defender or the force of pure destruction? You decide!

Hi, everyone! We have some news to share with all of you:

1. We have to push the release date to Q4 2020. We are sorry for failing all the people who put hopes in the release, but there is still a lot of work ahead of us. We love Ragtag Crew and want to make the game as good as possible.

2. We want to thank the guys, who translated our devlogs into French. We were pleasantly surprised when we found out. Here is a link to their website:

3. Last but not least, we’re attending Devgamm Minsk 2019. We will participate in the Showcase, so you can try Ragtag Crew and meet us :).

Again, we apologize for pushing the release date. Regarding the next delvog, here is a little teaser of a new playable background.
