it doesn't seem like a browser based game

It states right in the press release it's a browser game?

Bleh, I don't like that they're releasing the beta-keys through social media either.

What matters if they're released via e-mail or social media? It's all randomized regardless.

It's a personal peeve -- I don't follow any social media except for a few specific things so it's just something else to tack onto what I already routinely do.

I don't really mind too much, it's just a bit of an inconvenience.

$9.99 really isn't that much considering most commercial games nowadays release for 6 times that price. Just because Transformice works as a free-to-play browser game doesn't mean the same business model is the best for every game.

Yes but 60$ games also cost millions to make and it shows in the effort put into the game (though personally most 60$ games now a days are just a rip off). Just a screenshot of most 60$ games with high quality and fancy graphics will make a lot of people go "Yep, that's a triple-A game." I think the problem is the screenshots we have show the quality of a free to 3$ app store game kind of feel, but we have no understanding of the gameplay behind that, which is the real indicator of value. That's probably why a lot of people are turned off by the high price.

Well considering an overwhelming majority of the players that enjoy A801 games are truly Free To Play, I imagine anything but free is a little much for multiple different reasons. Personally even if I had the money to drop on the game I wouldn't until a few months after the game's release to see if A801 would actually cater to it instead of leaving it in the dust when it fails to spark like their past few games.

It's definitely a different model, but was it the right choice? Only time will tell.

They really like zombie games...

Ekk a zombie
choices of weapon (knife,shoes,fryingpan,spoon)
Knife-cuts the potatoe
fryingpan-cooks potatoe
shoes-tell's zombie to wear it
spoon-STAB IT IN THE ZOMBIE'S HEAD

Seems risky but diversity is always good ouo.
Also who's this Paul I've been hearing about...
Well horror games are not my cup of tea, so I may not try this game out when it's released. ;^; they're scary okay... But I hope it turns out good ouo

Atelier 801 is going for the big games. I kind of like they're making multiple games, it reminds me of another gaming company that I support and that I am an enthusiast for. Although, it does sadden me that they cannot do Celousco - not just because I was looking forward to playing it, but they were doing it for a very long time! Hope they can redo it eventually.

My biggest concern is that A801 has too small of a team to maintain these games. We've all seen how Nekodancer and Bouboum have turned out. Still, I wish them the best of luck! I'll check it out eventually.

Wow awesome

Don't worry, I wouldn't say Celousco is gone :b. This game is practically an extension of it.

Even if the game type is similar, the aesthetic and concept are far different. Just because someone plays World of Warcraft doesn't mean you can get them into Star Wars Online just because both games are MMOs.

Images of the game:

Wow.... The only difference from this to Don't Starve is that this is a human characters game..

Okay. The aesthetics are different. Is that relevant in any way to what I said?
Your purpose is to kill enemies in both games. Also in both games, you kill said enemies with an alliance (optional in Dead Maze).
I don't see why you had to contradict me for such a simple claim.

Before I go on, let me just say that that was a terrible comparison.

You said it was an extension of Celousco. It's not really an extension with such a drastically different theme. I would have probably played Celousco, but plot and aesthetic are important to me, so I will not play Dead Maze even if they are mechanically similar. For it to be even close to being an extension it'd have to be similar in both mechanics and theme.

My comparison is completely sound in the fact that a person isn't guaranteed to like another game because they play a game that is conceptually similar in mechanics (quest based MMO in my particular example) but drastically different in theme (large fantasy vs sci-fi based on movies). So yes, the idea of Celousco is dead because the concept was trashed even if the mechanics may have been rehashed into this game.

I don't see why you had to be snarky at me for simply adding to the discussion.

I feel Saelus' comparison was a good one. And simple claims are often the ones that need contradicting the most, since those are the ones people often remember clearly while also usually being the ones without as much thought (not saying it's always the case).

not paying 10 dollars for a flash game

Games like this are quite generic. And I don't like the look of the bloody knife, but I'd prob give it a shot.

why not? pay for flash games are not like free kongregate type flash games. Huge commercial games have been released on flash, machinarium to name one. What about other medias like TV? would you scoff flash as much there? my little pony friendship is magic is made in flash and it's bringing millions to hasbro, and rarely knocked for it's quality of animation.

that's like saying "i'd never eat anything with milk in it" cos one time you drank that shitty UHT milk. You're missing out on a helluva lot of good things with an attitude like that
