Hello, this is Narrowdeep, the developer of Heretic Inquisitor Shepherd.
We've had a really busy month since the launch of the Tumblebuck crowdfunding and demo version on October 3rd.
We'd like to share our development progress so far.
October was a month of fixing bugs in the demo version, finishing Chapter 1, spurring on the development of Chapter 2, and
working on the English demo version in parallel.
The following is the detailed development status.
1. Bug fixes and stabilization of the demo version
Many people are playing the demo version and leaving reviews and bug reports.
Thank you so much.
Thanks to you, we were able to complete a relatively stable build with no major flaws in playing the demo version.
There are still minor bugs and fixes left, so we plan to fix them along with the English version update.
2. Chapter 1 Complete (and a little spoiler)
All work on Chapter 1 has been completed.
The demo version revealed about half of Chapter 1's judgment phase.
For those who are disappointed, we'll mosaic and slightly reveal some scenes that can only be found in certain branches of Chapter 1.
Please look forward to how this scene will unfold in the main game.
(Changes in the judgment stage of the characters by branch)

3. Chapter 2 Development Status
We are focusing on developing Chapter 2 immediately after the end of Chapter 1.
Art resources that will appear in Chapter 2 are in progress.
In particular, most of the character standing illustrations that will appear in the judgment stage have been completed.
Please look forward to new stories and characters.
(Some of the standing illustrations of the main characters in Chapter 2 during the judgment stage)
New Play Experience We aim to give users fresh fun in each chapter.
To this end, in Chapter 2, we are focusing on working on new sub-game elements and side stories where you can get a glimpse of the hidden stories of the characters.
4. Solid Development Base
Most of the pivotal mechanisms of the game, which have been carefully crafted since the early stages of development, have been completed.
This means that the core framework of the game has been stably established,
and thanks to this, future chapter development and content addition work will proceed more quickly and smoothly.
We will unfold a richer story on a stable system.
5. Preparing for Global Release: Developing an English Demo Version
We are developing an English demo version to showcase Heretic Inquisitor Shepherd to more people.
We will be releasing the English demo version soon, and we will be receiving feedback from domestic and international users.
We will immediately fix and reflect the bugs and improvements reported through the demo version to further improve the completeness of the game.
(The content may be partially modified as it is a screen under development.)
Finishing. Promising the next development log
Our development team promises to continue to deliver news to you through the development log once a month, around the same time.
Thank you sincerely for your continued support and interest. We will be back next month with more fruitful news.
Thank you.

It is said to be released in early 2026. In the case of Korea, it will be released through Komodo, the Japanese distributor, just like Steam Deck.
In the case of the Steam Machine, it uses Steam OS and boasts 6 times higher performance than the Steam Deck! Wow
If it comes out with a focus on cost-effectiveness like the Steam Deck, it seems like it will bring a fresh breeze to the gaming PC market lol
If you watch Live-Stream, she seemed to be hitting harder in almost every situation. Idk what happened on release (E6 was nerfed as well)
She does less AOE damage than both Tanks and her inspiration gimmick, doesn't lead to a big damage reward that matters.
Even Veronica outshines her as a sub-dps in AOE situations for only 1 cost (Giant Ballista)
She requires more set-up than any other character besides Rin, but her damage numbers do not give her a substantial pay-off unlike Rin. My Rin can clear AOE mobs faster than Yuki during an average Chaos Run and that's just not right since Rin is a Single Target DPS.
For reference, I have E2 Yuki for instant 2 turn Inspiration at the start of the battle, and she still feels awful to use in Chaos Runs.
With a perfect deck, she can clear HyperBasin fine, but so can any other character in the game. Even with a perfect Chaos Run, her damage has no Scaling, requires cycling cards mid-round, and the pay-off is damage comparable to other characters with basic epiphanies.
Absolutely lackluster character and barely outshines any of the initial 5 stars in the pool. Might possibly be the worst Chaos Zero System DPS down there with Luke. But hey, she looks great and is still fun to play at least.
SmileGate. Please Buff Yuki.
The common consensus is that Yuki is not worth pulling due to her lack of dmg and clunky overall kit.
I don't know why they did a showcase showing her do insane dmg only to have her be mediocre at best on release.
She doesn't deserve to be a rate up banner unit in her current condition. I highly suggest you save your money or at the very least offer some suggestions to SG to buff her so that she is worth pulling for.
I feel terrible for F2P or light spenders who pulled on her thinking she will be a carry dps for their account.
TLDR: Yuki ***** please buff her SG
All despair Zero(0) to!

Sigh . . .
Even when you were making it, you were thinking about how the Korean men you talk about would be triggered
and you were secretly laughing and turning your happiness circuit while making it, right?
In the first place, in a commercial game made for men, who are the main target,
you messed it up like this, do you think you can just get away with it?
I don't know about anything else, but I hope your position changes to be as small as a rat's dick.
I just wish you'd get fired, but if that were the case, you would have been kicked out already.
From now on, just do as you're told and breathe quietly through your nose
Live quietly like a criminal, hiding in a corner so much that no one even knows you're there, got it?
I was so happy that I bought another 65,000 won one. Thank you, right?
There was someone who bought a game on Stove a long time ago, but was angry because a problem occurred where it wouldn't run. That person left only that one post and didn't participate in any other activities.
So I was curious about what happened and contacted Stove to inquire.
Then, I received a reply by email.
Even if the refund conditions have passed, they may provide a refund through internal review if the game itself does not run.
That person's situation seemed quite unfortunate, so I hope they got a refund.
'바가텔'에서 파생된 많은 핀볼류 게임들은 이런저런 변형 룰을 적용해가면서 모습을 바꿔왔고 100년이 넘는 시간 동안 많은 사람들에게 사랑받는 스테디셀러로 자리매김하고 있다.
기본적으로 한번 쏘아 올린 공은 결코 되돌릴 수 없고, 그렇기에 그 쏘아 올린 공이 나락으로 빠지기 전 가능한 한 많은 오브젝트를 타격하거나 파괴하여 최고의 점수를 얻는 것을 골자로 한다.
대부분의 경우 일정한 규칙에 따라 오브젝트를 건드릴 때 추가 점수를 주거나 말판을 움직이거나 흔들어서 기회를 연장할 수 있을 뿐 쏘아 올린 공을 직접 움직이는 경우는 지금까지 없었다.
하지만 게임에서는 부정행위라는 선을 넘지 않는 한 규칙은 부술수록 재미있다는 것이 학계의 정설이다. 이번에 리뷰할 '라운드가드'는 핀볼에서 공을 조작하지 않는다는 불문율을 과감하게 깨면서 색다른 즐거움을 찾을 수 있었던 이색적인 작품이었다.
적은 많고 남은 체력은 적은 상황 = 게임조선 촬영
하지만 실력이 있다면 원샷으로 39개의 타겟을 날릴 수 있는 진정한 실력게임이다 = 게임조선 촬영
라운드가드의 가장 큰 특징은 위에서 서술한 바와 같이 공을 발사하고 나면 화면에 배치된 장치들은 일절 건드리지 않고 오로지 공의 역할을 수행하는 캐릭터만을 조종한다는 것에 있다. 플레이어는 게임을 시작하기 전에 전사, 도적, 마법사 중 하나의 캐릭터를 공으로 지정할 수 있고 각 캐릭터는 지정된 고유 능력치와 스킬을 십분 활용해 배치된 오브젝트를 최대한 많이 부숴야 한다.
굳이 따지자면 스테이지 클리어를 위해 모든 오브젝트를 부술 필요는 없긴 하다. 단순히 통통 튀는 것에서 끝날 공이 캐릭터가 된 것처럼 이 게임의 오브젝트는 몬스터 또는 보물상자라는 정체성을 부여받았고 스토리 진행은 주인공이 몬스터들을 무찌르고 스프링바텀 국왕을 구출하는 일종의 용사물을 표방하고 있다.
실질적으로는 몬스터만 모두 제거하면 다음 단계로 나아갈 수 있다. 물론 최대한 많은 점수를 얻으려면 당연히 모든 구조물을 파괴하는 것이 가장 좋긴 하다.
몬스터를 모두 제거해서 다음 단계로 나아갈 수는 있는 상황이지만 수많은 보물상자와 골드 항아리를 두고 가긴 아깝다 = 게임조선 촬영
네 스킬은 더욱 강해졌다! 전진해! = 게임조선 촬영
스테이지를 클리어해도 게임은 계속된다. 라운드가드는 각 스테이지의 클리어 특전으로 어떤 보상을 얻을지 그리고 다음 스테이지에서는 어떤 몬스터들을 상대할지 선택권을 주며 그 과정조차 핀볼이다. 만에 하나 여기서 실수라도 하면 게임 오버될 확률이 높은 고난도 스테이지를 만날 수도 있고 쓰잘데기 없는 보상을 획득하게 될 수도 있다.
위험이 있는 곳에 큰 보상이 존재하는 만큼 충분한 실력이 있다면 강한 몬스터를 상대하여 보다 높은 점수를 획득 가능하며 캐릭터를 강하게 만들 추가 스킬과 장비를 얻어 결과적으로 당장은 어렵겠지만 앞으로의 게임 진행을 편하게 만들 수도 있다.
인생은 언제나 선택의 연속이고 큰 보상에는 큰 위험이 따른다 = 게임조선 촬영
일단은 구색을 갖춘 무기나 방어구보다는 비어있는 스킬 슬롯을 채우는 게 더 좋은 상황 = 게임조선 촬영
매번 플레이할 때마다 스테이지와 보상 배치가 달라지는 로그라이크 형식을 취하고 있기 때문에 반복플레이를 하더라도 쉽게 질리지 않는 것도 매력적이다. 심지어 모든 스테이지를 주파하는데 성공하면 플레이어에게 메리트와 페널티를 동시에 안겨주는 유물이 하나씩 열리는데 이러한 유물을 착용한채로 게임을 플레이하면 자연스럽게 룰을 변조한 또 다른 게임을 플레이하고 있다는 느낌을 준다.
현재 라운드가드는 스팀과 스토브 플랫폼을 통해 출시되어 있는 상태다. 캠페인을 올 클리어하는데까지 요구하는 러닝타임이 그리 길지 않은만큼 기본적으로 저렴한 가격대를 자랑하고 있지만 일단 구매 후 플레이한다면 책정된 가격 그 이상의 재미를 느낄 수 있다.
번역이나 인게임 콘텐츠의 차이가 없어 어느 쪽으로 플레이하더라도 차이는 없지만 스팀판에 비해 스토브 쪽의 기본 가격이 1500원 저렴하고 10월 중순까지 할인 행사를 진행하고 있기 때문에 플레이를 고려하고 있다면 스토브판을 추천하는 바이다.
