Let's get physical



<span class="bold">Exanima</span>, the dark isometric RPG armed with a unique, physics-based combat system, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 15% launch discount.

You find yourself in a dark dungeon full of dangers shambling out of the shadows. You feel powerless, defenseless, alone. In order to survive, you'll need to grab a weapon and quickly familiarize yourself with Exanima's innovative combat system, which requires your undivided attention and adaptation to its dynamic flow. Every hit has it's own weight, angle, momentum, and impact.
The unconventional mechanics are being constantly refined and polished but Bare Mettle also aim to keep adding new content: complex NPC interactions, ranged and magic-based combat, additional encounters, items, and environments. After having successfully gone through the game's alpha and beta stages, they hope to release this compelling low-fantasy RPG within six to nine months, but as we all know the development process is full of emergent challenges, much like Exanima's core gameplay.



Learn to survive the dungeons by mastering the unique combat mechanics of <span class="bold">Exanima</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 15% discount will last until May 23, 12:59 PM UTC.

Note: This game is currently in development. See the <span class="bold">FAQ</span> to learn more about games in development, and check out the forums to find more information and to stay in touch with the community.

mrkgnao: The game costs $14.99 (full price) most everywhere in the world, except in Russia and a few other ex-Soviet republics, where it costs $5.18 (full price). Can you please explain why that is?
I've checked your price updates thread and it seems it's like that for a lot of games. Is there a difference I don't know about in this case?

Tyrrhia: Following your standpoint, Baldur's Gate isn't an RPG, either, but a point-and-click.

Hickory: Bullshit. You cannot manipulate items in BG in any way, other than enabling CheatKeys() and using the 'Z' key to grasp items. THAT is not regular game play.
Defining genres is not an exact science, or so I'm told.

Bare_Mettle: What are your trying to imply anyway? Huh? We've done nothing wrong or even questionable and we're certainly not trying to hide anything.
It's useless to argue with every little rant people throw at you. Try to find posts that are actually worth your time to give explanation to and ignore the ones where they just piss against the wind.

tfishell: One of the reviews:

"The top 4 reviews for this game give it 5 stars each saying how great the game is, yet each account is only a few days old and, guess what, the game only came out a few days ago; these reviews smell like the devs of the game came in and review it"

(added punctuation)
Exanima released around a year ago on steam. Don't spread delusion and bad trolling, while there are already many posts here from people who backed and played it already, tfishell.

There are fanboys of the game who came from steam to post their review, that's good both for the devs and GOG. The trolls are less so, but that's another story.

Qazlal: While I live in Russia - I can explain this: a median wage in Russia is about 400$ on a good paid job. Or even lower.
Could you please also check the median wage in China, India, Ethiopia, Congo, Angola, Bolivia, Cuba, and Albania, for example?

The difference is that in this case the developer is here to hopefully explain why.

Bare_Mettle: Exanima was born as a standalone prelude to Sui Generis to give backers somehing to play and give feedback on while development continued. We've certainly had a whole lot of feedback, and we've been constantly refining the game to try to meet everyone's (rather high) expectations.

Since then Exanima has grown quite a lot in scope, and is becoming a very substantial game. We found this was actually helpful to continue development towards SG wtihout spoiling it.

We've seen our share of hostile accusations by now, but our intentions are perfectly legitimate. We are developing a very ambitious game to high quality standards, with a small team and budget, anyone who's played it will tell you it's working.

One word of warning, the game is very unforgiving and takes some time to learn as it plays very differently from anything else. It can be a frustrating combination for new players, but we are very keen on its unique gameplay and style and we're not willing to compromise it for the sake of a more newbie friendly experience. This game takes some effort at first, but it's absolutely worth it.
I backed Sui Generis on Kickstarter, am I able to get a code for it here on GOG? I just sent a message to you guys on the kickstarter page.

The regional pricing is generally set by the distribution platform(s), not by us.

Oh, OK. I thought it was some kind of automatic process (although now that I think about it, it doesn't really make sense, as there is a delay before the price changes for some games). Thanks for the explanation!

We're looking into this with GOG. If it doesn't go against anyone's policies we'd be more than happy to oblige.

I see. So it's basically GOG's decision. Thank you.

As far as I know large services as Steam or Gog analize markets and provide this data to developers, which are chosing how to sell their product.

apehater: sorry to interrupt again, but i just wanna mention that currently 6 very positive reviews of currently 10 here on gog about exanima are made by accounts created this month. thats what one reviewer pointed out:

"The top 4 reviews for this game give it 5 stars each saying how great the game is yet each account is only a few days old and guess what the game only came out a few days ago these reviews smell like the devs of the game came in and review it"

one of this "reviewers" wrote "Glorious 10/10 platinum quality game. ..." for an early-access title!
I'll admit that having a ton of 5 star reviews immediately show up with accounts that are less than a month old is pretty suspicious. However, it could also be a coincidence or something genuine fans of the game are doing, and that's out of the developer's control if things happen to work out like that. Either way, right now there's no real evidence of the developer tampering with things, so I don't think it's fair to accuse them of it.

Compare to:
"Alright, but why is regional pricing needed for those (only 3 so far!) newer games then?
First of all, you have to be aware of an important fact when it comes to newer games: GOG.com cannot really decide what the prices should be."

Sounds like a lot of finger pointing. "We're not responsible, they are!" "No we're not, it's them!"

I tried buying Darkest Dungeon in early access (or ‘in development’) and discovered the model isn't for me after getting irreversibly burnt out from playing 4 weeks straight. Certainly got my money’s worth, but it saddens me I’ll never freshly experience the final product as it was intended. Really keen on seeing how both Exanima and Sui Genris turns out, the combat looks meatier than a bacon-wrapped pork joint placed gently on a bed of McRibs.

Interesting. Good to know.
