RPGWatch - Late To The Party Interview

by Couchpotato, Monday - November 10, 2014 06:19

We had the chance to interview Arvind Raja of Pyrodactyl Games about his latest kickstarter game called Late To The Party. Here is a small sample of my interview.

Couchpotato: Before we start with the questions about Late To The Party, can you share a few details about yourself, and your studio Pyrodactyl Games?

Pyrodactyl: Pyrodactyl is an indie game studio that crafts offbeat role playing games. We are an international team with members from India, USA, Estonia, UK and Canada. We have been making games for more than 7 years now.

As for me, I started my career making Half Life 2 mods (Dystopia being the most famous one). I started making indie games in 2007, and since then I've released three of them!

Couchpotato: Can you share a few details about Late To The Party for new readers, and what makes the game stand out from other RPG games?

Pyrodactyl: Late to the Party is a cold war espionage RPG about a local who is drafted as a KGB agent during the imminent fall of the Soviet Union. The gameplay will start with you investigating strange cases and using your contacts, spy gadgets and wits to solve them. Your allegiance to your homeland and your superiors will create conflicting situations, and you'll be forced to keep your head down if you decide to help the revolution.

Late To The Party - Early to the Party Update

by Couchpotato, Friday - November 07, 2014 06:06

Pyrodactyl Games posted the first update for Late To The Party with some information on the games first few days,and shares some new wallpapers.

Welcome to the inaugral Late to the Party backer update! I'm your host, Adam "Rutskarn" DeCamp, the game's lead writer. We're going to have some fun here--and unlike every other human being who's told you that, I'm not wearing a paper name badge and a polo branded by the dorm, daycare, or minimum-security prison you're now looking for an exit in. I like to think we convey a little more sincerity.

The trick is, we focus less on prewar boardgames and facts about otters and more on insider info, in-universe fiction serials, backer bonuses, and developer anecdotes. I am also not ruling out facts about otters.We've got plenty of stuff planned for the weeks ahead, but for now, take these two wallpapers. They're huge as heck and should scale nicely to any monitor not designed for major sporting events.

Look forward to my new interview with the developer next Monday.Smile

Late To The Party - A Cold War Espionage RPG

by Couchpotato, Thursday - November 06, 2014 05:18

Late To The Party is the second game from developer Pyrodactyl Games looking to get funded on Kickstarter. Here is the usual video , and game description.

Late to the Party is an espionage RPG about the struggles, fears, and turmoil of the oppressed during the dying days of the Soviet Union. Use your contacts, tools, and wits to stay alive in the midst of a dangerous historically-inspired conspiracy.

  • Play it safe and fudge the facts, or stick your neck out to uncover every last link of the conspiracy in a branching storyline.
  • Use your character traits, KGB spy tools, and improvised equipment to cover your tracks and further the investigation.
  • Balance your allegiances and always cover your tracks if you want to stay alive.
  • See the Baltics come to life with locally inspired art and music.
  • Enjoy dialogue and scenarios dripping with dark humor from the makers of Unrest, a critically acclaimed narrative RPG funded via Kickstarter.
  • Full mod support lets you create your own worlds and adventures.
  • Late to the Party will be available DRM-Free on multiple digital stores, without any DLC or microtransactions.

I will also have a new interview hopefully posted in the next week.
