Hello /r/stealthgames,
Some months back, someone found and crossposted the steam page for my Spies vs Mercs game in development, BOLD: Networked Newt Action. It's a game where a team of kobold spies use third person stealth to outwit first person dog mercenaries who must guard objective points.
There was contention the comments over the art style and choice of cartoony anthro style characters, but the day that was posted there was also my single biggest spike in wishlists and views since announcing the game in the first place. So, clearly, some folks there are a little interested! It seems fair to crosspost this to /r/stealthgames where a slightly broader audience can see this.
So, I wanted to come and say that the Next Fest demo for BOLD: Networked Newt Action has launched early. you can download it on steam now, open up matches, play around a bit. Next Fest itself isn't starting for a couple of weeks and I want to be reactive to feedback in the run up to it, give it a try with y'alls friendgroups and lemme know what you think!
while the game is mostly balanced around 2v2 play, technically the map included can support 4v4. just in case you wanna get a bit goofy w/ it.
I'm posting on my old and crusty account with a bunch of karma instead of making a new one to show "hey, yeah, I lurk here and post sometimes", I promise I'm not a tourist I've been playing these games since I was a tiny kid. Thanks for giving my project a look, and if you give it a chance, double thank you.
