I've only gotten through to the demo and I like Jerrats reaction to such a great loss, picked himself up quick and the fire of revenge burning inside him. The battles were fun too considering the animations and such were smooth and quick to the point. The mouse feature was a plus with pathfinder. I am looking to buy the game but I myself am making a game so I am a little broke.

Also the mapping is phenomenal. You have a knack for it.

Great job and keep up the good work.

     I really enjoyed Undefeated so I was one of the people who picked this game up the day you released it, and I really enjoyed it.   Things happened though and I had to take a break from playing it.   So recently I decided to pick it back up and start playing through it again.   I decided though that I'd like to stream it and have a little fun while doing so, I voice-over every character I come across in the game (it's not serious it's just me having fun), but I also wanted it to show the game while I was streaming it.  Because I'm a huge fan of making sure independent RPGs get as much visibility as possible, so I made a Giant Bomb profile for the game.  Which means if you stream it on Hitbox or Twitch now it'll show up in the list.

Giant Bomb profile:  http://www.giantbomb.com/the-tale-of-a-common-man/3030-48394/

My first stream video for anyone who is interested: 



I apologize for anyone who watches it, I didn't realize just how loud the music was coming through on the recording since just turning down its volume on my speakers does not effect its recording volume, so it near drowns me out at times.   I'll have that fixed for my next video though.

Thanks for doing this and providing the links.  It was fascinating watching someone else play.  (btw, you missed a couple of items).  I'm glad you're enjoying it.  

I see you're not using spend points, which is understandable given that you're playing in Easy mode.  It will be interesting to see if you stick to that when the going gets tougher later on.

This is now released on Steam  http://store.steampowered.com/app/370670 at a great price of $9.99.  From now until 9th September there's a launch discount of 30% which brings it down to the (oh dear, slightly ominous sounding) price of $6.66.


Of my games, this is my favourite story.  I hope you'll like it too.

There's a Christmas sale on, and who am I to be Scrooge-like and deny the chance of a bargain to others?

@DarkKxng101 Thank you for your kind words. If you want to just play the free demo, click the image in my signature and choose 'Download' on the page it takes you to. If you do everything, it's about 1.5 hours.

So I have a question on something and sadly my copy of this game is on my other comp which is under repair. I remember you had a skill in this game for retreating back to the exit of a dungeon. Did that skill cost any resources at all, or was it a free skill?

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
