My dad does the voice of the skull and executes Sega Genesis references with aplomb.
It is hard to get love for TBS games anymore
DO WANT
If/when this comes out on iPad with local MP, I will get a friend to play it with, even if I have to make one out of spunk and clay like Zeus
Nice. I'll buy one and wear it to Quakecon. 8)
I was demoing the game at PAX East and these two guys came up and were asking about mobile versions. I told them that we were shipping on Windows Phone and the one guy went nuts on his friend: "See? Windows Phone ONLY! You and your iPhone can SUCK IT!" and did a little victory dance. I told him, "You must cherish this victory, my friend, because you are unlikely to have many more like it.":fbm

Looks like you'll have to get Windows 8 with it. (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/06/12/no-7-samurai-skulls-of-the-shogun-goes-win-8-only/) :-\
Main programmer Borut sez:
“obviously non-Win 8 PC gamers are still very important to us (especially since at least half the team will probably continue to fall in that category), but beyond that I can’t really go into contractual details as to why that part makes business sense for us. Pretty sure I can’t even fuzzily portend what might become apparent at a later date."
So basically MS has all the same walled gardens in its gaming division that Sony does - XBLA, Games for Windows, Windows 8, Windows Phone etc. And they all want a piece of dat Skulls but don't give a crap if it inconveniences any of the others, or the developer, or the consumer.
Sorry, Sho Nuff, I'm not paying $100+ so I can play your game. Hopefully you can get something worked out later down the line, because the situation you're in right now just plain sucks.
RIP Haunted Studios
Implying a remotely significant # of people game on PC in the first place.Yeah whatever, if I like the demo I'll buy the full thing on XBLA.
Sho Nuff explain this MS faggotry :maf
I will await the iOS port till the day I die...

There's not much to explain -- we are a team of four people and Microsoft is our publisher!
Microsoft Surface packs a staggering payload of cool tricks, but there’s one unassuming feature that’s likely to attract game developers: the USB port.
“I don’t like mobile games,” says Jake Kazdal, creative director at the indie developer 17-Bit. “I don’t play them, I don’t like the controls. I’m too much of a core gamer, I just can’t get over it. I’m old and stubborn.”
“And now I don’t care,” he says, “because I can plug in my wired Xbox 360 controller [into Surface] and all of a sudden I have a full-blown games console wherever I go.”
“Our game will support both versions” of Surface, Kazdal said — the ARM processor version and the Intel-powered, Windows 8-compatible Pro.
Although Kazdal is excited about playing games on a tablet with an Xbox 360 controller, he said that Skulls for Surface will ship with “three distinct, discrete control schemes.”
“You can play with mouse and keyboard, you can play with iPad-style touch controls or you can plug in a controller,” he says. “The turn-based game, the action part of it is less intense so you’re not going to screw up as much with the glass-based interface system.”
One can already play PC games on the go by carting around a laptop. But the small size and sleek design of Surface make it a much better option, Kazdal says.
“A laptop is big and bulky,” he says. “I don’t like Windows laptops. I use a Mac.”
I never understood the joypad/tablet thing. That kickstand isn't going to work on your lap, so you need a flat surface, so you might as well play on your PC and get a much better experience. Maybe Doctor Octopus could play it ok ???

Jake's gonna be sad when the MS moolah disappears from that Mac comment.
Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $39.99 (http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2012/07/02/upgrade-to-windows-8-pro-for-39-99.aspx?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter)
Tall guy with long wavy blonde hair. Looked a bit like a baked surfer.
I really want a shirt, but the shipping is horrendous. Can't I just drive over from Seattle and pick one up? I'll pay.
edit: Nevermind, shipping is only $4 now. Rock on.
I haven't been following this, will there be a steam release?
Indeed, MS is our publisher.
Sho buff, the Win8 and WP versions are way too expensive (I know the prices are the norm in both OSs and I thought maybe you guys will break the trend).
Oh well, I will be abroad but I will buy all three versions just for you. Is the Windows Phone version HD? Like, does it support WP8 new resolutions?

So... you're saying you'd rather take anal than give oral?
Does everyone have me on ignore?
THAT'S ALRIGHT YOU JUST LOST A SALE!
Honestly, I doubt even MS knows what's going on.
Basically it is this:
- WP8 released
- over 20 games got delisted from the WP8 store because they were incompatible
- some more games getting dropped
anyone know if it's available on appxfreaks.com yet?
- did I mention MS porting Wordament with Xbox Live cheevos? They sure love developing for other mobile OSsOh, hey. Thanks for that. This was in today's Xbox.com newsletter, but the link made it look like a Windows Phone ONLY app. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known to look for an iOS version.
I'ma make sure I have the cash to pick this up and 400/400 the shit out of it on release :punch:dap
I'll play a bunch of multi and try and nab those cheevos but can always boost with Chronovore if I need to...
How is Cormacaroni-and-Cheese playing this before launch date? WTF! :maf- did I mention MS porting Wordament with Xbox Live cheevos? They sure love developing for other mobile OSsOh, hey.

Is it like Advance Wars?
I had some local MP fun at the weekend - good stuff! We thought at first it was going to be a grind-it-out type game but there are some mechanics in there that will wipe you out pretty fast if you screw up.
Has anyone tried cross device multiplayer yet?

Async is up and running as of today if you have the game early :hyper
We’re a week away from the Skulls of the Shogun Release date, and today we here at 17-BIT have a little surprise announcement! When Skulls of the Shogun is released on January 30th, 2013, the game will be discounted for a limited time for Windows 8, Windows Surface, and Windows Phone! WAT!
The Windows 8 and Windows Surface version will launch at $9.99 (normally $14.99) in the Microsoft Store, and the Windows Phone version will launch at $4.99 (normally $6.99) in the Windows Phone Marketplace!
Buy once play everywhere for $20 would have been brilliant.
not seein it in the store

I'm gonna be the first to get all the cheevs :hyper
Is it hard getting all the gold skulls Sho Nuff? They're the only ones that sound like they could be tough, and the total time under 3 hours one.
Multiplayer ones look pretty easy to boost but I will definitely try my hand at getting them legit first.
Oh, and is there local co-op?
BUT WILL IT COME TO STEAM SHO NUFF
Everyone was telling me that big-budget live-action trailers are the new thing so we spent $10M on a Superbowl ad. Unfortunately we ran out of money so we have to settle for Youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBCbz5sfXU4
Sorry, I had to take down the commercial. :-\Aw, but it's so awesome. Reup it on Vimeo or something, we won't tell. :shh
aww why did you edit the pic out? I wanted lol at "Hack the Gibson" again.
Oh, does playing on Easy mode void the Gold Skulls? I see it voids the story cheevs. If you can get the Gold Skulls on easy: #YOLO #CHEEVOWHORIN4LYFE
So uh. Just had the XBLA version crash on me, error deets look like this:
(http://www.capitaltrachea.se/misc/skullscrash.jpg)
This doesn't seem very helpful. But I had restarted map 3 a couple of times (checkpoint restart), suddenly noticed that my units weren't moving like they were supposed to. Restarted the map again, made a couple of more moves, then boom, crash message :(
Passing this along to our lead programmer asap.
well, it's not running at native rez on the 8x, but there's no black bats
I want it but might wait to get it on PC. Is this game coming out on iOS?
Can your other units can damage him? Or does all damage have to be done by Akamoto?
I've only had one attempt at the final level so far, so I definitely have better tactics in mind for next time. I'm thinking a buttload of demon level archers behind a wall of infantry. Also gotta get the Crow dudes macking on the enemies' rice paddies with the quickness, to stop them barfing out so much infantry. Crow guys are definitely my favourite unit. Most fun to use and they look awesome!
Is there any Skulls merch? I would be so down for a Crow Monk t-shirt
beat the game last night. Superb./carlyraejepsen
Just working on the gold skulls and speedrun now. Both easily do-able with my current leet skiils.

Dude we are freaking out at the TWO people who have beaten the game in 44 minutes. (It doesn't count AI playtime, cutscene time, word bubble time, only active player control time.) We want videos or something because we have no idea how they are doing it.Is the data locally stored in any way? Any possibility they're hacking their local data?
:lol? Don't get the joke?
Chrono has the game, this might be crazy
You have his gamertag, call him maybe?

just need to boost the last couple of cheevs and I'm set for 400/400
Jeahhhhhhhh fixin stuff, gettin paid
The beta does not, but the final version has trading cards. They are awesome, I made them myself :punch
BTW I'm trying to get a handle on it, this is an insane question but do people tend to like MORE trading cards or LESS?
Gotcha! Will keep that in mind when we narrow it down.
Gotcha! Will keep that in mind when we narrow it down.
Also, consider doing an odd number. The number of drops rounds up, so if you have 7 cards in a set, you'll get 4 from drops (3.5 = 4).
Can't wait to play this on the Sony family.

Easy: Just use Steam on a VAIO.
Single or multi?
It tells you the email address is invalid?
That level is a total B. I don't really have a good strategy for it :(Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It tells you the email address is invalid?
No, it sends the email, and I reset the password, but then that password doesn't seem to work.
WOW NEVERMIND I AM DUMB MY NAME NEEDED A CAPITAL LETTER SORRY
Although, what is the functionality of it? It didn't save my campaign progress or emblems. Not sure if this is just a beta thing or what.

Okay, so when you create an account, that's mainly for your Skulls Anywhere games -- they're all linked to that, so if a new version of Skulls were to come out on another computing device, you could log in with that and play some Skulls Anywhere. It's not really explained well and we're going to figure out a way to clarify things before the final version comes out.
BTW save games aren't syncing across Steam Cloud yet, we're working on that even as we speak. Really. I'm looking at the guy who's implementing it and glaring at him RIGHT NOW.

sakura only worth $3 :(
also no more single player levels in the beta :(
I NEED MORE
It's weird, most game cards go for 25-75c each, but Skulls cards are $1.50-$3/each.
No clue how that worked out.
