For a while I saw this game on steam but didn't bat an eye. Recently I realized that this looks like a game I'd like. I looked at reviews and was waiting for a time to get it. Then I heard about this demo and got super excited to try it out. I tried it out and proceeded to LOVE it. This game is really fun. I don't know if this is a thing in the full game, but I think that maybe it'd be a good idea to limit the starting character pool to maybe only the first few characters, then have the player unlock subsequent ones. This would give the player something more to work towards and would be less overwhelming when you first open up the game and see that intimidating character list.
that's what it is on steam version: you start with first 5 characters and have to unlock the rest (the same hold true on various trait and quest rewards as well)
I know this is probably tedious by now, but please make this available for purchase here. I don't care about MP and do not use Steam. Why not have another income stream even if it's a smaller one?
Because that's an extra storefront to maintain, and people would be confused/annoyed by the fact that multiplayer didn't work. Wouldn't be worth the extra hassle.
This version of the game contains local multiplayer (keyboard/mouse + gamepad or 2 gamepads). The Steam version contains 3- and 4-player local multiplayer, and online multiplayer.
This game looks awesome, but I must agree. Steam is lame for being a pro-DRM resource hog, which is why I use itch.io and GOG in the first place. Why not make the full version available here for full price? I would buy immediately.
I spent so many hours on this demo that i can say i love it. But i won't buy it on steam for more than 5 bucks .
Why i would say not more than 5 bucks? Because i think that, if i pay more than 5 bucks, then i should be able to do whatever i want with the game (not sharing as a torrent, of course) but as least lend it to friends. I often share my games with friends who would not have payed for it. And maybe then eventually buy it and never bother to install and play with the version i installed for them (them is 1 or 2 max). In the end, people who never played the game will end up talking about it. (sold enough Firewatch this way)
Street of Rogue is not a game for everybody, that i can agreed on. It's full of references and gameplay that is made for players who know their way about what gaming is. It's not an easy call (like Firewatch where you can play if you're not a gamer). But if we want to show the people what can be done with pixel and imagination (ur game is pretty clever or that point), then we need to be able to show that those games exist and your's is exactly the good example.
But i can't do that with DRM. and lightest DRM is still DRM. It's not about protecting your game (by the way, you could do something for the torrents) it's about the freedom to share/show/play with.
I hope that you'll make enough for a living to reconsider this at some point, or when the game will be older, or for a limited time event (Awesome Games Done Quick — or Summer one — could be a good one to sell the drm free version on itch for instance -- maybe even a little bit pricier to give to the fondation the GDQ will support) .
Meantime, i really wish you the best, because i love the work you put in streets of rogue, and I hope you dont get any word i say wrongly. I just want to explain why I dont like DRM as i understand that you need to make a living.
I look forward reading what good is gonna happen to your game, and i'll be happy to read any good thing that will happen to you too.
Actually, the game doesn't even technically have Steam DRM. You can copy-paste the files from the Steam directory somewhere else if you want to share it that badly. The game will still work, aside from multiplayer.
The primary advantage of Steam is that I update the game frequently. You won't get those updates automatically if you don't use it. Frankly, I think this trumps most intangible freedoms you might have with a completely Steam-free version.
The full version has 5 areas instead of 2, more characters, 4 player couch coop instead of 2, online multiplayer, a "home base" with unlockables, achievements, and a bunch of other stuff. This is effectively more of a demo at this point.
Pretty fun, I dig the artwork. Although seems overly complicated with so many character, and might seem overwhelming on first approach. All in all, cool game dawg.
Hey, I know this is just a demo now and not the full version, but it's kind of annoying when the Main Menu button says "Are you sure you want to quit to the Main Menu? Your progress will be saved," and then doesn't save my progress. I was having a great run, and I would have tabbed out instead of exiting if I'd known it would delete it.
My main criticism is that a lot of the specialized actions such as hacking and lockpicking are nothing more than waiting to fill a bar. I think each of them should have different, more interactive ways of operating.
I thought the combat would be more like Hotline Miami, but this is still extremely fun. The music gets old after a while though. It's the same track over and over again.
Favourite game ever, Thank you man, and are you really only one developer making this game because the time and effort put into this makes it more than a game, it makes it something you can share with your friends and thank you, you are my favourite most inspirational Developer in the gaming world and i also see you as a GREAT person away from the game.
Every time i play the game, after 2-30 minutes it just crashes, i have the error files, i don't think it happens to others that much, so other than that the game is amazing! strongly recommend to buy it on steam

Wow, this is really fun! I love the variety of characters and how many different ways there are to interact with the world.
do you need a remote to play mutiplayer
This version of the game contains local multiplayer (keyboard/mouse + gamepad or 2 gamepads). The Steam version contains 3- and 4-player local multiplayer, and online multiplayer.
how do you play multiplayer on the same keyboard
You can't, sorry. At least one person needs a gamepad.
ok thanks and by gamepad what do you mean for example does a xbox one controller work
Yes, any gamepad that works with a PC.
Bro i love this i game i plan to buy the steam version but i have this version on my school computer to play in class
Sucks that we need to get the steam version.
Gotta make a living somehow!

Exactly
The multiplayer mode uses the Steam API.
Steam a resource hog? It's currently sitting at about 90MB in my task manager.
If Steam is considered DRM, it's about the lightest DRM imaginable.
Hey Madguy
I spent so many hours on this demo that i can say i love it. But i won't buy it on steam for more than 5 bucks .

Thanks for letting me know. If i can play without steam running, then it´s a go, as I really loved what you've been developing.
I removed the torrent link from the previous comment, I just realised how rude it could have been. I apologize for this.
I look forward playing again :D
What are the differences between this version and the Steam version?
The full version has 5 areas instead of 2, more characters, 4 player couch coop instead of 2, online multiplayer, a "home base" with unlockables, achievements, and a bunch of other stuff. This is effectively more of a demo at this point.

is this only local multiplayer?
This version of the game is. Steam version has online.

We made a team out of Ninjas and Vampire 10/10 would play again
Unzip the file and run streetsofrogue.exe?
Hi Madguy,
I was just wondering, are you using this version as a demo, or are you keeping it on itch for a different reason?
It's essentially a good-sized demo at this point.
someone tell me how pleease
idk how to play after download so i cant play but gameplay looks so MLG
Rip fender08 19XX-2017
this is sick
I thought the combat would be more like Hotline Miami, but this is still extremely fun. The music gets old after a while though. It's the same track over and over again.
VAMPIRES!
Favourite game ever, Thank you man, and are you really only one developer making this game because the time and effort put into this makes it more than a game, it makes it something you can share with your friends and thank you, you are my favourite most inspirational Developer in the gaming world and i also see you as a GREAT person away from the game.
Well that is certainly quite flattering, thank you very much! Glad you're liking the game!
wow this game changed so much since i last saw it.
too bad i'll never be able to play it till it comes on console. since steam doesn't accept my payments. but keep up the good work!
What is not available in these free versions compared to the Steam version?
See here:

Oh nice~ :) Anyway, thanks for the great game. Gonna buy as soon as I have spare money. :D
Any chance of releasing the full version on itch.io? I wanna support this site when I can.
Probably not, it makes use of a bunch of Steam features.
Well in that case I just bought it on Steam. Love the game so far.
Every time i play the game, after 2-30 minutes it just crashes, i have the error files, i don't think it happens to others that much, so other than that the game is amazing! strongly recommend to buy it on steam
