Title: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: exodus on December 19, 2017, 11:18:43 AM
We released our puzzle/tower defense mashup Gunhouse for PSV. It's coming to PS4 in a couple weeks with higher res graphicisms and whatnot. It'll be cross-buy!

Let me know if you want a key, I've got plenty. Just leave a god-darned 5 star review!!! PM  me if you want one.

Looks cute.  Y'all should do a physical version for Vita, class up LRG's offerings.  :mrgreen:

I'd love one for PS4. Thanks!

KingDrool - PMed you, we'll see if that works!

Necro - uhhhhhhhhhhhh we are in fact going to do that :P we've got a 20 page manual!!

Wait, a 20 page manual for a Vita game? Does Sony actually accommodate that?

I don't know how many pages are in them, but there's a few Vita games that came with manuals.  Shovel Knight and Soldner x2 come to mind.

That’s good to know. I don’t think I have any Vita games with documents that need staples. It’s really a bummer, even $100 shit...yet I get two pounds of junk mail nobody wants every week...
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: exodus on December 20, 2017, 08:15:18 PM
yeah, it's allowed! There's room for it in the case and all that. It's silly that nobody takes advantage of it (also making manuals is hard work, and I guess people don't want to do stuff that's not required). PC Engine fans will enjoy our "warnings" at the end of the manual, too.

I has a Vita. I was just watching a video on YouTube about this today. Didn't know we had Vita devs on this forum! How difficult is it to get games on the Vita?

Sweet!  Would it be possible to get keys for both PS4 & Vita versions or is that asking too much?  I'm not usually into tower defense games, but for you, I'll definitely be playing this one!

I have a PS4. Boss pls.

PS4 + Vita is actually fine, because it's gonna be cross buy when it's out for PS4 (it's not yet, probably next month)

Honestly I'm not sure how it'll work if I give out vita keys now - will you get free PS4 later? No idea!

Sarumaru, do you mean the development process, or getting Sony to allow release?

Post by: ParanoiaDragon on January 22, 2018, 05:02:08 PM
Sweet, thanks man!  Any hope of eventual PS TV support?  Tried it on there first, & couldn't get it to work sadly.  I have no idea how hard &/or time consuming that might be?
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: exodus on January 23, 2018, 07:18:09 AM
it's a lot of work and has a separate contract that takes ages - there's just no point in doing it unfortunately!
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: Necromancer on January 23, 2018, 07:19:53 AM
There's a point to it for me.  Playing on the TV is much better than on the little handheld.
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: exodus on January 24, 2018, 05:59:51 AM
oh yeah, I meant no point for us, since it'd just cost a lot of money that we don't have and wouldn't make back through sales :P
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: ParanoiaDragon on January 24, 2018, 06:27:20 PM
That stinks that it's a separate contract, booooo says I to Sony for that! :(
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: Necromancer on January 25, 2018, 01:30:45 AM
Yeah, f*ck Sony.  If they wanted the PSTV (and Vita) to succeed, they've sure done a piss poor job of supporting it and encouraging devs to support it.
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: exodus on January 25, 2018, 08:47:54 AM
honestly I don't think they did want PSTV to succeed. It seems like someone's pet project that somehow got through but nobody in the organization - I mean nobody - wanted to support. I was discouraged from getting involved with it from day one. Which sucks because it *should have* been a real cool thing, and it still almost is in spite of itself.

Thanks, yeah! unfortunately some other sites just... couldn't figure out how the puzzle system worked and gave us lower scores because of it ;_;

Woah I didn't know someone from here was a part of this! I was on the fence but now I definitely have to check this out. Very cool exodus! I'll probably pick it up on PSN since I just got a 20% off coupon from Sony.

Can't wait to try it out now!

Do you have any “pro level game play tutorials” or anything? I’ve never really understood this game for shit and just kind of bumble through it, I have to admit. :( I probably just need some VS time.

I was going to do a stream but so few people are buying it that I'm feeling like what's the point! Maybe I will just for cool people. We do have a better tutorial in the vita/switch versions, and also a "help" section that hopefully sheds some more light. The difficult thing is to properly tutorialize it would take a couple months of work (because we're not set up to make specific puzzle interactions happen, like show X block in Y location, etc), and this game has already been worked on for too long.

This looks super sweet! Do you still have any Vita keys?  :)

I do!

Looks great, I'll have to give it a try when the PS4 version comes out.
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: exodus on April 23, 2018, 03:44:24 AM
BTW, for everyone who got a vita key, the game should work on your PS4 now. Let me know how that process goes, I am not really sure how PSV/4 cross-buy works when one game comes out several months before the other!
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: ParanoiaDragon on April 23, 2018, 06:04:38 PM
Yeah, I tried it a week or 2 ago when I noticed it in the store.
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4
Post by: exodus on April 24, 2018, 09:46:49 AM
...and did it work!?
Title: Re: Gunhouse PS Vita / PS4

Yeah, didn't notice any problems, downloaded it & it worked fine.
