Tactichord: Glam Strategy has been seeing a lot of playtests! Since May, we've shown the game three times gathering feedback on the core game loop and finding ways to improve things and make our unique twists on the turn-based tactics genre even clearer. First, we showed the game on the Moderskeppet Gaming cruise from Stockholm, joining a handful of other indies and some excellent live game music performances including one by game orchestra Songs From Our Savefiles. We even got Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy to give the game a try!
Next we collaborated with the monthly Stockholm chiptune club event Syntax Error for a special Indie Night literally down the street on Hornsgatan.
Finally, we joined the long running Indie Game Dungeon for a final test before summer break, also conveniently located on our home turf of Södermalm.
In between all these shows we've also been preparing a Japanese localization of the prototype while also working on the band costume and drummer replacement system. Shown here is the elusive fan favorite drummer substitute, MPG.
And we got some kick ass lighting and thunder SFX together for the characters' special attack transitions.
