The result was The Villain\u2019s Rules, a game that reached #6 overall and Silver medal on Theme (yay!). <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/12\/23\/the-villains-rules-post-mortem\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We also wrote a post mortem about it<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. After finishing some important projects, including the game Freaking Meatbags on Steam, we began the production of Machiavillain. Machiavillain is the evolution of The Villain\u2019s Rules, and while we changed some things, it\u2019s still in the same silly spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basically, the game changed from a linear level with traps to a procedural world where you have to raise your monsters, build your mansion and slay the victims by the villains\u2019 rules. The game was really praised for its mood, the horror clich\u00e9s and the jokes. We wanted to go further on this funny side and deliciously evil mood while making the game more management \/ strategy style. We felt it was definitely better mechanics that can be played for longer hours.<\/span><\/p>\n <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making ludum dare was very important because thanks to that Zimra could work on her first game, I had an interesting project to build after Freaking Meatbags and we\u2019re even doing our first Kickstarter!<\/span><\/p>\n <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meet the monsters, discover our gameplay systems and come see our mad scientist laboratory on Kickstarter. You can donate with blood or money\u2026 just kidding about blood. Or maybe I don\u2019t. Not sure.<br \/>\n <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/335326767\/machiavillain-horror-mansion-management-game\">https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/335326767\/machiavillain-horror-mansion-management-game<br \/>\n <\/a>PS: we gathered more than 20% of our goal in the first 24H hours !
