This would have made a far better Xbox Live arcade game than the past two combined. Oh well we all know why it wasn't meant to be =(
Anyways I never touch lame-ol indie games but this well worth a peek. The game just looks amazing in just 2 screenshots haha |

| This reminds me of stuff I used to make and play in the RPG Maker series if anyone remembers those. Kind of cool to see the old school RPG style though. |

RedemtionOWNAGE said:why make the 3rd one a indie game? did the other two not sell to well? Is this just going to be a indie game, and not come to xlba?It's not financially worth it to come to XBLA.
Zeboyd Games detailed this in an interview with Gamasutra I believe, but because Microsoft makes publishers wait for "slots" to open for XBLA, it's nearly impossible to release a game across multiple platforms without a big name developer behind it.
The way the XBLA marketplace is currently set up, for non-event titles (meaning, not Summer of Arcade, House Party, Next, whatever), it's very hard for games to get noticed. Sales are down across the board outside of MS event releases. So far down in fact, most developers are AVOIDING XBLA releases and going straight to iOS or Steam.
Zeboyd is releasing this as an indie game as an afterthought, they are focusing primarily on Steam, frankly, I don't blame them. |

How much for the whole kitten kaboodle? |

| You can charge $1, $3, and $5. Before it was $2.50, $5, and $10. |

This is SAD, indeed. 
IMHO XBLA made 360 great with such variety and quality titles... they should put efforts into making XBLA a launch platform for indie devs (super time force!) instead of making an obstacle out of it. |
