Who the hell actually developed this damn game and is it now possible?!

[Ancestral_Spirit]

Psyonix

Spotted Shark

Joindots GmbH

JB Gaming

Immersion Games

SouthPeak Interactive

Circadian Indie Game

 

Right so Monster Madness Grave Danger must have been confused with this title here on PSNProfiles.

So off the bat we can eliminate:

Immersion Games and Psyonix.

SouthPeak Interactive went bust in 2013 BEFORE this title was released.

 

This leaves us with Spotted Shark, Joindots GmbH and JB Gaming.

Spotted Shark is a subsidiary of Joindots GmbH.

Circadian Indie Game is what you get if you go to the Discord for the devs on the Steam forums. The studio is listed as Spotted Shark but it says to join the JB Gaming discord and leads you to Circadian Indie Game discord.

 

I'm willing to message Joindots GmbH on their twitter account, however is there any chance someone can test the S Rank trophies on this game again?

Someone has managed to get them in 3 levels, but not the rest, and the game has had a couple of patches just AFTER that person earned the S Ranks. 

 

The patches were out for EU:

23rd July 2018

18th January 2019

 

The patches were out for NA:

23rd July 2018 and never received a second patch

 

Any takers?

OK, so I've been chatting to the dev and apparently we'd need to get ahold of the publisher for the console version of the game.

Which is: Joindots!

 

So I'm gonna head over and send them a tweet 

Fingers crossed!

 

EDIT:

Wow...... so this was an enormous rabbit hole that I didn't know I was diving head first into.

I'll spare you all the details but I'll make one thing abundantly clear.

 

The poor guy that developed the game, cut him some slack. He has been screwed over royally by everyone else involved, and he really can't do anything about it right now, if EVER on the console version of the game.

It's a legal minefield of publishing and IP rights that we won't see anything about at least for the next 6 months or so, but he's doubtful much will change with the console version as technically the 'Ultimate Edition' was not of his making, just the base game.

 

So yeah, the console version probably isn't getting fixed, but I'll be buying the physical copy of the game and probably play it on a dummy account.

I'll update this topic if anything new happens or if joindots get back in touch.
