Tiny Little Bastards on IndieGoGo!

Hello everyone! I'm the 2D artist at Overlord Game Studio and I'm here to share with you all our latest project, Tiny Little Bastards, which is now live on IndieGoGo and was already greenlit in 10 days!

Tiny Little Bastards is, above all else, a game about love. The unrestrained, unconstrained, uncontrolled, unbridled love of a man for his beer.
The man in question is Ivarr, our protagonist. Ivarr is a Viking tavern owner who had his beloved tavern sacked by a horde of Goblins.
Ivarr now has to take up arms to recover his stolen goods and save a desperate world from the severe beer drought the Goblins are causing.

Through exploration, resolution of quests and dialogue options, player’s choices will have meaningful impact on the world - from little brother and sister fights to nation-wide conflicts such as civil wars and more!

Our priority is to deliver you a game made with fun mechanics coupled by tight execution, focused on detailed gameplay that will keep players coming back to it. We aim for Tiny Little Bastards to be what we want to play ourselves.

The game itself is played through a Platformer world inspired in classics like Castlevania coupled with the character progression of Diablo; this means the player will be able to control stats, talents and abilities while progressing in a vast world with many bizarre, sometimes otherworldly regions, ranging from huge pumpkin dungeons to lands where sheep float in the sky!

The player will also be able to collect many different items such as weapons, trinkets, crafting materials, potions… and manage his own inventory. Items will be in ARPG-inspired style, appearing through the game by means of looting, crafting and exploration, as well as sold by charismatic vendors, and posessing a variety of randomized stats to allow for different playstyles.

To create strange potions and high value weapons, players can make use of the detailed crafting systems available. Each crafting system is attached to a different NPC (a smith can create weapons, a witch can make potions and an enchanter can craft trinkets).

You’ll find a diverse cast of crafters with compelling backstories and quests along the way and, if they like you, they’ll follow you around the world making your journey more interesting!

Through the journey, the player will have to overcome obstacles and puzzles based on the levels themselves. An infinity of dreadful traps and deadly pits are there to test your abilities, but you can beat them with the right moves and choices… if you’re skilled enough.

The combat is simple and yet very detailed. A wide variety of enemies will try to block the way as the game goes on.

The actual combat involves both player skill and stats:

Stamina will be drained when most actions are taken (especially using abilities)

Avoiding getting hit is crucial and equally items and talents will all play big part in deciding whether you’ll survive or not!

Every enemy will act acordingly to its own characteristics, so you’ll have to adapt your strategies on the fly.

A combination of good timing, knowledge of enemy patterns, resource management and smart character building are what makes the combat in Tiny Little Bastards a fun experience!
