    Or here!

    We'll share the development as much as possible in both places, because we will listen to all of you guys and what you think of a product such as this, AND make us make a better final game in the end. (fingers crossed!)

    Shoot, please, if you feel like it. We can handle it!

    I am in absolute love with this game! Had everyone laughing when he was 'belly' flopping/dancing in front of other characters.

    An out of shape dancing reaper? Hilarious!

    How far out before you release it?
    If you beta test, be sure to think of me.

    Very creative. It was almost like all the individual pieces would not fit , together, but then, somehow it did.

    Very nice.

    Thank, you! Thank you!

    We aim to beta test within the 2-3 month! So you generous offer is noted (with delight!), thanks!

    I can't say for sure when we are out, but maybe not until early 2015 to be honest.

    This line of yours made my day "It was almost like all the individual pieces would not fit , together, but then, somehow it did."

    Very glad you liked it!

    This is so awesome, that I cant even describe how awesome it is.

    Humor + puzzles + killing people in hilarious ways? Yes, please!

    I hope this is the actual movement animation for the reaper in the game and not just for the trailer.

    Very glad, you like it!

    It's ALL in-game footage, all we did here, was adding real sound, which we hadn't implemented at the time, when the footage was taken (we are adding it now btw).

    "Humor + puzzles + killing people in hilarious ways?" THAT is it! (And there'll even be a macabre love story with Death's everlasting love The Maiden for all the hardcore puzzlers!

    This is how we develop the dance moves (bare in mind, that the game were called Let's Dance until recently):

    Any dance moves you want us to implement? Then feel free to post video of them, at we'll see, what we can do!

    Thank you for responding in this way! We can run on it for ages!

    H. R. Giger inspired Maiden Tapestry...

    Here's artwork for the skybox/tapestry in all of the optional hardcore challenges in the game, which are "hosted" by The Maiden - the eternal love of Death. And we added a logo just for the promotional heck of it:

    So the tutorial thing was a little strange. But... the puzzle atmosphere of the game while the character was dancing was quite nice.
    Now I've had a taste and I want more! :)

    Support Death with a t-shirt!

    [​IMG]
    Hi guys

    We launched a small t-shirt campaign as part of financing this game. It's sort of a prelude/practice to a later Kickstarter campaign, but the t-shirt is nice none the less.

    If you like it, feel free to buy one here and even make a donation if you are that into it:

    https://teesmile.com/TheReaperIsComing

    The t-shirt itself is non-profit for us, because we basically just find it cool if someone wants to wear it!

    Enjoy!

    So sorry, Lavender, for never getting back to you on this (till now), but it's very nice, that we at least didn't scare you off with the test! It was definitely very raw and that was weird for sure.

    We are looking forward to do some beta'ish testing soon on iPad.

    Dear toucharcader

    We've been working really hard to make a full demo experience of The Reaper - A Puzzle Macabre, and now we got it.

    BUT it's still raw and we now want to do some very thorough testing to make sure our remaining efforts will be effective in creating the game you want to play.

    If you want to experience your world as The Dancing Death in a shadow/adventure/death puzzler with original interactive dance music and a gameplay that haven't seen the light of day before,

    PLEASE, SIGN UP FOR THE TEST THROUGH THIS QUESTIONAIRE:

    https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1GzFvhVyGBFjN2JNkDdT5S1eWKzQbzCfdzEqLPDtX2FI/viewform

    What is this?
    If you're in doubt as to how this game looks and works, check out the good old trailer and see how you are supposed to manipulate shadows in order to dance around and solve the death adventure puzzles:



    No matter what, then thank you for checking out this update!

    On behalf of the team
