I'd like to show you guys my latest game project, Bermuda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxkjRNkxxhI Bermuda is a visual novel combined with open ended stealth missions. Trapped in an alien submarine, Edward's faith in living beings is put to the test in a tale of trust and deceit. The game is fully voiced and features veteran actors like Kyle Hebert, Kira Buckland and Cristina Vee. Find out more on the game's website: http://bermuda.invertmouse.com Please be sure to vote for Bermuda on Steam Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=264167123 Bermuda is also on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1013046199/bermuda?ref=card I'm going to need a huge amount of help on both Greenlight and Kickstarter.

Flutterz Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Your Kickstarter has a typo. It says "Attach on Titan." This looks interesting, as usual! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvertMouse Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 @Life: Thank you! Hope to have your support . @Ashadow700: I'm still waiting on more voice clips to come through before I'm able to put one together (>-<)! Truth be told, this time around, I'm having trouble deciding on whether to chop the content for that demo. I aim to be succinct with my narratives so my games tend to be short. That can make things challenging. Anyway, thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvertMouse Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hello everyone . A few folks on Steam Greenlight has asked for Linux support with Bermuda. After performing some tests, I'm happy to announce the game now works on that platform. Thank you to all Linux users for their interests! Also, big shoutout to Flutterz for helping me out with testing. Hey, Flutterz! Where are you (^U^)?~ Siliconera has kindly featured Bermuda on their site. Here's the article: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/05/30/visual-novel-game-bermuda-lets-us-know-bermuda-triangle-full-aliens Really hope to have your support on Greenlight and Kickstarter everyone: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=264167123 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1013046199/bermuda?ref=card Thank you heaps m(_ _)m!

InvertMouse Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hello everyone ! Thank you so much for believing and contributing in my project so far. I'm very grateful m(_ _)m. A few have kindly asked why the rewards stop at a mere $50. Being a struggling creator, I was gratified to hear that. In response, I've added a couple of postcard rewards. I gave these out for free during the Unhack days. As I'm trying to progress my game development career, well, thank you for your understanding. The details are here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1013046199/bermuda/posts/862900 Thank you so much m(_ _)m! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvertMouse Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hello everyone . Bermuda's campaign is 1/3 of the way over now. Thank you so much for all your help, especially during the initial few days. Things are dying down now and I'm stressing mightily over getting past the hump. I would like to share a couple of in-game videos with everyone this weekend. Please look forward to it m(_ _)m. In the meantime, to those who have been planning to contribute to the campaign, I would really appreciate it if you could consider doing so: http://kck.st/1krgOvc Thanks so much guys m(_ _)m.

Narcosis Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I'm quite surprised, as for a project of such a small scope, it does give a really solid feel. The addition of stealth missions that supposedly affect the outcome of the story (I preassume?) is an interesting concept for a visual novel, as it seems to be quite enjoyable, judging from the preview videos. I can't comment much on the storyline itself, since there's really not much except for what you've released already, but the general idea seems preety nice; I hope the story won't become dissapointing.You have my support. I looked up your previous projects and you've made quite a progress with Bermuda since your last game, which wasn't bad either. I'm really curious to see this finished. Your future as a game developer seems to be bright, as long as you'll continue; you're on right track.If you don't mind me asking few questions, I'm interested on how you managed to get those quite well-known voice actors to dub Bermuda. VA costs a lot, usually the most in terms of visual novel development and it's even more admirable you're actually working on your own without any sort of real budget, unless the previous project helped you considerably to get some funding to continue without bigger issues. Even though, I guess you're still outsourcing in terms of sound and graphics?I wish you best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much hope you could consider supporting the project on Greenlight and Kickstarter. Both could use a lot of help right now m(_ _)m. Cheers for taking the time to check out my previous projects! I hope to keep getting better as time progresses. For the voice actors, it is really just financial sacrifice that came out of passion. Back when I was in college, I developed visual novels out of my own wallet, too. There was no such thing as Kickstarter back then. That was the old school way of doing things. Now I am at a point where I need to consider my financial future. Plus I am truly hoping to develop this into a career. That is why I am charging for my works. That said, even if I reach the Kickstarter goal, I will still be forking plenty of extra cash from my own pocket. As you can see, reaching $2000 is difficult enough as it is. Thank you again for your support m(_ _)m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvertMouse Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hello again everyone . I have some brand new Bermuda footage I wish to share with everyone. Hope you can check them out. First up, we have a video with greetings from the main cast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvkssp8C-68 Next, we have a sample video of the game in action. The scene is taken from the introduction sequence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yz3KtCwi7s Last, here is a sample of the bonus conversations that are available before each chapter. Please enjoy this casual chat between Edward and Finyomu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsFz2gHEEkM This middle period has been a real challenge. Everyone is cool here so I feel comfortable talking about how much this has been stressing me out. I hope you can consider contributing to the project and spreading the word. http://kck.st/1krgOvc Your support is very much needed and appreciated. Thank you as always m(_ _)m!

Zakamutt Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Narrator being voiced is somewhat unusual in these. What made you decide on doing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysrumble Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Seems like you're putting a lot of work into this. It's a shame that I don't have much money right now but I might be able to throw in some money at a later date. For now the least I can do is give a vote up on greenlight. The $100 printlooks very cute by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
