Thread: "New" upcoming game: Cosmic Shock League

Looks like you avoided the one thing that makes western games worthless...western art. I actually don't mind match-3 games so much. I'll give it a try, and if it's not much of a time sink I'll stick with it. It's not going to replace my time spent with FKG or AB, so it better be about the same time commitment as Crush Crush or I simply won't have time for it.

One thing, though...how did you get Nutaku sponsorship without a gacha to suck up N-gold? They aren't really known for their charity.

The artwork is fine but gameplay... just another match game. /sigh. Shame that's all western games are capable of these days. Not that I hate them, they're okay from time to time but them on a site like nutaku doesn't bold well and it's not like we don't already have a few.

Possibly a hefty stamina system or just down right buy girls.

So, I went ahead and edited out explicit images to keep the SFW rules satisfied. But feel free to post anything privately.
Alternately, any SFW images of the art can also be posted here.

This is only to keep both adsense and those who like to browse from work happy.

Thanks for the tip, have tweaked the original post now. We're just trying to give a heads up rather than showing to much at this stage. It's still around 3 months from launch and needs a lot of polish. We could put up 10-20 seconds of gameplay if people would like to see an Alpha version. Let us know.

Very good question. We didn’t need any Sponsorship. Not all non-DMM games on Nutaku are sponsored or partly owned by Nutaku. We’re a totally independent indie that is self-funded.

I understand your reluctance in terms of match-3. However this is very different than a standard Candy Crush style clone. Here you face the opponents board in real time PvP, matching specific colours to deploy heroes that have unique powers. It’s way more varied and tactical that anything match-3 on Nutaku to date.

No pay walls and no stamina, you can play PvE or PvP as much or as little as you like.

I doubt they ever release it =)
Most probably this game meets the same doom as CrystalMaiden and Throne of Legends.

If you can deliver on those promises, then consider me interested. Is there any way to get a developer forum here before the game launches? That'd give it a lot more visibility (and some competition for Harem Heroes).

I'll agree with other posters in that minimal time investment in our part is ideal. I dropped Phantasma (another match3 game on Nutaku) because each mission could take me 5-10 min to complete and I had to be actively invested in it the whole time. The writing and art was kind of trash too, but I was willing to wait to see if they improved.

I'm interested in your 'no gacha' claim. What's your alternative way to obtain units? The only other games I can think of without gacha are the clicker games.

Kind of sounds a little like one of my favorite childhood games, tetris attack in vs. mode.

Spoke to the admins about that and it’s still a little premature right now (unless you want to discuss the dev process with us). Maybe in December once we are within a month from the launch, we will request it officially.

This is a little harder for us as PvP games usually last around 5 minutes. There are Battle Chests available every 6 hours, that are unlocked for winning 5 PvP games, but there is no time pressure to complete this.

PvE games are generally a lot shorter and you can leave anytime as it saves your progress.

We have a very similar economy as Clash Royale, you have daily contracts to buy specific girls for in-game gold. We also have paid chests of increasing value. These paid chests can also be acquired randomly for free by winning in PvP.

We don’t have anything like the ‘Step up’ or ‘Kompu’ systems in the Japanese games. We’re looking to create a community where free players can compete with paid players by just playing and winning chests in PvE and PvP.

You can also gift and request girls from your friends, every 12 hours. This is a great way to level up girls and also get lots of gold (1 Epic given = 5000 gold). The higher your level the more cards you can give and receive. You can have up to 50 friends atm.

One of the best multiplayer games ever created, Puzzle fighter is a close second for me too

Oh yeah, go read the Crystal Maidens thread for tips on what exactly to never ever consider doing when developing a game. Like, 'cut your fingers off so that you'd avoid having the slightest chance of doing them' shitty decisions.
