Basement, the drug is bad

Drugs, it's bad? , "Said another. Yet the small studio Halfbus has tried making illicit proceeds with Basement, a set of management / strategy based original made ​​during the Ludum Dare 29 The game has landed there is little on Kickstarter and seeking out version final on PC, Mac and Linux.

We already touched Basement at the twenty-ninth edition of the Ludum Dare last April. As a reminder, the theme was "Under the Surface". While many developers approached the idea of a fairly conventional manner by simply changing the player below ground, some as Halfbus reflected on interesting topics. In their game, it is about making the drug which will then manage the amount and distribution. Various workshops will be arranged on a section (like an XCOM, for example) and produce very different substances not necessarily legal in the adventurous customers who come knocking at your door. Limited time compels the management aspect is very basic, but the result is running relatively well, except for some traditional concerns of jams. Nevertheless, Basement put themselves in eleventh place on the entire competition, which brought together nearly 2,500 participants. HalfBus decided to make it a full game and pushes the trip later on Kickstarter.
It is very nice to see that the game is still played today worldwide. We were asked several times to finish it, so we'll really apply us, 'the developers. They want to keep the original concept that has brought success to make him win but Basement Finishers, mainly by a total redesign of the interface and some new possibilities. Thus, the yarn production could for example be interrupted by a market disruption, lack of customers, a surprise visit forces ... or adverse trafficker. On his blog, the team will also talk about phases of the game in prison and mini-quests. Overall, the objective here is to get out of his Basement prototype and propose an honest life, based mostly on random factors.

The four drugs (acids, Weed, Methamphetamine, Methaqualone) are still there on the other and have the same graphic as the original game. At this level, nothing has changed but the protagonists have gained credibility thanks to the work of the artist. This is the moment all we know, but are not immune to a statement on Kickstarter in the days to come. Funding is also doing quite well, with more than half of the lens ($ 15,000) obtained currently. If the end of Breaking Bad left you hungry, consider trying the free original game, or go play small chemists on Kickstarter in order to avoid the Basement adventure turns into a bad trip for its creators.
