Vigilantes - Version 18

Version 18 of the tactical RPG Vigilantes has been released - here's the Kickstarter update:

Update 28: Version 18 Released!

Hello,

Hope you're having a nice weekend! Version 18 of Vigilantes is now available for download. Version 18 represents one big, final push to deliver a number of features we felt would substantially benefit Vigilantes.

The emphasis has been on features which enhance the game's tactical depth. Now you can set ambushes with overwatch, delay your turn to outmaneuver opponents, and punish enemies attempting to disengage with attacks of opportunity. Furthermore, characters can now sustain injuries, which reduce stats, and can be healed by time, by Doc, or D.I.Y. healthcare.

An ally relationship system has been added, which provides stat bonuses to allies who approve of your actions, along with a reputation system, which, depending on how much chaos you cause, will determine how some NPCs react to you, and the ultimate outcome of your crusade against crime in Reiker City. Finally, we've added hand drawn portraits for most of Vigilantes' characters, 2 new maps, and fixed a number of bugs.

It's been a busy, intense 3 weeks and 6 days. If you'd like to get more detail on the additions and improvements, you can find out more in the below development video:

Version 18 is the final version in which features will be the key focus. That's not to say we absolutely won't add any more features, but rather, that in order to deliver the best experience possible, we need to shift the focus to balancing, tweaking existing features, adding content (weapons, perks, characters and maps), improving the level of polish and fixing bugs.

As always, if you'd like to chat about any aspect of Vigilantes, I'd be happy to.

All the best,

Daithi
