BANDCAMP
This project was initially made as a simple parody, however, it blossomed into something far bigger than initially planned... The reconstruction was due to a certain special someone testing the game early on, formerly, it was known as Cease, but has since been reworked. This game all started based on multiple reoccurring dreams I had about this horrifying bag lady chasing me, but that's the simplified version. It's had a rocky development, partly due to life events and working two fast food jobs, but despite that, it's finally here!
Squid's Man Slaughter tells the tale of a pathetic introverted creature, having an equally pathetic goal to collect trading cards and office men slaves. The end result, while vague, is guided by a squid lady named Squiggly that our hero befriended on the internet. The mystery about Squiggly is uncovered as the game goes on, her faults, past love life, children, crimes against humanity, it's all there, hidden in the vast abyss of the gamblers paradise... You will slowly learn the horror of your immunity to the pearls of death, as you test your life 9 times... HAVE A GOOD TIME...
The bleak future, World War 3 proceeded beyond a point in which humanity couldn't handle. God has rejected man kind, now all that inhabits earth are bizarre mutants that have formed into abominations, vaguely resembling creatures of old. Chaos seeks order, several, now in delusion, look to take the crown as deity. The highest ranking out of them, a guy named Joel, not too different from you and me, sitting on the top, wrongly all knowing, as he preaches false doctrine, doing away with all that is sacred and pure. The corrupt aim to resurrect the world with ideologies, can you triumph without being diluted by false prophets?
Squid's Man Slaughter is a dungeon crawler, minigame collection hybrid. It contains several fully fleshed out card games dispersed throughout. It includes highly versatile party customization, and battles that never repeat, there is also a way to converse with enemies to potentially change the course of a situation. The game contains 8 hours of gameplay, 3 different endings that you can see in one play through, just be careful about your finances. There's always someone trying to scam or tax you for a provided service...
--CLOSURE AND CREDITS--
This has been the most challenging game I've developed by far. Managing my time has been difficult, I've had moment where I felt like it was meaningless, however, I have learned a great deal through this project. My final take away is, if you have any idea for a project, put it out there, there's no such thing as bad art, it's all subjective, there will always be at least one person who enjoys what you've created, if it's what your heart leads you to do, never hesitate.
~Thank you...

I really like the prospect of utilizing coercion and emotional manipulation tactics to sell enemy bosses chocolate bars as a pacifist parallel to the tic-tac-toe of take-turn combat.
The smorgasbord or music, art assets, and mechanics sometimes leaves me lost, but still gripped enough to figure things out.
Admittedly, I might've accidentally clipped past a wall or two with the diagonal movement.
Also, congrats on utilizing FPLE without crashes, especially when switching from 2d-to-3d maps.
Begging part:
I keep getting pwnt by the dad boss, along with major creatures in SOYEN. I'm at the point where the only creatures I can grind (for newer party members only, I usually never grind) are the nerds behind Ethan Ralph. I've gotten close to winning Zeke's dad with scare abilities, but he eventually molests everyone with capitalist magic.
Thank you so much, your feedback is much obliged, I wanted to fix the wall clipping and I figured out ways to make it happen less, but sadly it's something with the engine that happens with every game I've ever tried to make in it...
To beat Zeke's father in the Sell Route, you might want to go and get a skill called *Dark Miracle that's located in the dungeon on one of the floors, teaching it to Zeke is essential, also defending can last for two turns, I would also recommend boosting your stats on the status menu, *that's what EXP is used for*
Hope this helped, and thank you for playing
very cool! love the atmosphere of the game and the artwork and the soundtrack and everything!
