Battles in Cyberspace: Boss Slayer: Zero initial public release is today!

Hey all! My name is Steve and I'm the lead developer for KatHawk Studios. Today, we released our first publicly available game, Boss Slayer: Zero. BS:0 is a tactical combat strategy game/RPG set in the future. It pits you against a warden AI called The Judge, who rules the JANUS domain where you are now housed. Your goal is to escape JANUS by winning tactical battles against Bosses created by the Judge, watched by millions around the world in VR. Either gain followers and increase the number of people watching The Judge's battles - or be Deleted forever!

Currently, BS:0 is in a late-stage prototype. Most of the core game loop is in, and the UI has been upgraded significantly from the early prototype stage, but a lot of 'gamey' elements are not yet present, like animated fighters, upgraded graphics, full SFX, and full UI motion. I wanted to add enough of the UI/camera work to show what I'm aiming for with the design and the 'feel' of the game.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in checking out, please download BS:0. It's a Windows-only build from Unity Cloud, so it's safe for downloading - it doesn't install on your computer, it runs entirely out of the download folder! (You can save and load your avatar/game still however).

I will post a roadmap later today that shows our plans for BS:0 - we've got a lot of ambitious plans ahead!

Good luck, Fighter!
