Zeboyd Games is proud to announce that our next, next game will be Untamed Armaments!

Here’s a short plot teaser:
Rusella Von Formaldehyde is a young dream hunter, a mercenary who searches old ruins for the treasures within. Upon finding one of the legendary Untamed Armaments, she becomes embroiled in an epic struggle that will determine the very fate of the planet!

Here’s concept art of the main character & logo!

Here are a few details about the game:
Future/Western Sci-Fi/Fantasy setting
2D pixel art visuals
Created with Unity so that we can cover more platforms
Job-based class system for character improvement
Untamed Armaments weapon customization system allows for weapon mods upon weapon mods (think Resonance of Fate)
Turn-based RPG gameplay
Strategy/RPG combat with an efficient control scheme for minimal downtime
Missions with win conditions beyond “Defeat all enemies”
Music from Hyperduck

And here’s one of the songs from the game!

Specific platforms, release date, and pricing to be announced at a later date.
Wow you went all out, haha

What are the odds that you guys put this out on the same day that a SCE producer teases the potential for a new Wild ARMs in Famitsu?
 
Looks like there's another april's fool around, Thief 4 involved: if you try to get out of the Clocktower into the Stonemarket Garrett finds himself inside the tower again, in an endless loop. The only workaround consists in changing the system date. Not funny at all.

I'm stuck in chapter 4 because of this. Everytime I finish the chapter it takes me to the beginning :/

I'll never understand why people make April Fools jokes for things that actually should be real.
 
There's quite a bit going on in Runescape

...so, Zeboyd's Wild Arms?

I would buy.
 
Somewhat gaming related, but I've also posted it in the OT April fools thread (and the KS gaming side community thread), but...

Four Leaf Studios, the /a/-based production team behind the viral hit visual novel Katawa Shoujo, have a habit of pulling April Fool's pranks on their Dev Blog

So this year's April Fool's from 4LS is up and it appears they've been 'hacked': http://katawashoujo.blogspot.com/

There's some password protected .rar (1.7MB) as part of the 'hacked' website prank. Not sure what's in it yet. The best lead I have is that the password 'bL' causes an 'unexpected end of archive' message, but that's it. As a fan of their work, I'm really curious to find out what've packed into it.
