Yayifications! Capitalism HO!

The Chantelise demo is out!
You can get it here.

I am waiting to give you money, Carpe Fulgur! You earned it with Reccetear!

(Oh, it's a third-person, fast-action combat psudeo-action-RPG with an interesting magic system. It's a -little- ugly in places from being an older game, but... I can get past it.)

Man, I am not very good at Recettear, I can't get real far. But it is soooo awesome.

There's a few tricks to it that you need to know. Like that the tutorial blatantly lies to you.

The idea, really, is to build up a relationship with your customers by getting Pins and Just Pins. Even the dreaded Little Girl can, over time, be bankrolled into a high-profit customer.

There's a wiki out there you can skim for info! Unless you mean you're bad at the dungeon crawls, in which case I can really offer no advice.

Also remember that you can't really -fail- as such. Every time you lose, you loop back to the start BUT you have the resources and relationships and such that you built up on your previous run. Given enough time and bloody-minded effort, you will win. Maybe not gracefully, but success will come.

Also, build up a relationship with your adventurers and take your time with the dungeon-diving side. Every loop you complete, you can get someone's True Card and they'll all keep their levels and any uber-equipment you've sold them.. so run through a couple of times and then use Endless Mode to see the rest of the dungeons and the after-story, complete the item list, etc, once you're out from under the pressure of time and money.

Ooh, thankee! This is all stuff I definitely did not pick up on the first time around.

Yeah, it was the mercantile part giving me all the grief! I was not aware that the tutorial was a liarpants. I need to check out the wiki, too. Neither did I know you kept your relationships on a fail. I SHALL TRY ANEWWWW.

Wiki.

The thing is? It does not LOOK like a complicated or difficult game. So you (by which I mean, I) fail at it once or twice and you're like "Oh god I am the worst gamer alive." And then learn some stuff and it's like "Oh. Well, that would've been DAMN nice to know." and go win.

Actually, that's what I'm doing now, since there's like a week 'til Chantelise. I am gonna win at least one loop of this. CRUSADING SHOPKEEPER AWAY.

I like how their website is all "Website coming soon, but here's a demo!"

Thanks for the heads up.
