Our Goal

From day one we set out to develop an exciting and compelling RPG with a vast story and interesting characters. The project that emerged became a modern RPG that evokes nostalgia, but also improves on many of the pitfalls of classic RPGs that we remember so fondly. Modern technology has allowed us to design and develop a beautiful and vast 3D world, with stunning towns, dungeons, depth of field and verticality that adds to the game's atmosphere. The 360 degree camera allows the player to fully explore the 3D environment, rotating and zooming to find hidden paths or just to get a better look at the world. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/015/527/476/858d17c1d23756d07f08f5b0e56cb844_original.gif?w=680&fit=max&v=1487241683&auto=format&gif-q=50&q=92&s=41b1f105dd335dbd481e2c47f1a54f8d

The Story

'When men turn to an ancient darkness to enslave the world, the sun will bless the chosen four with the power of fallen gods' Two hundred years ago a great war waged between man and magic. This conflict created giant fissures in the earth's surface, which began to spew a strange mist that conjured terrible monsters. Today, the people of Varos fear magic and those who possess the power to wield it.

Step into a world rich with history and lore

As you travel through Varos, you'll learn about the history of the world and its inhabitants. In particular, you'll hear about the ancient war, how it almost destroyed Varos, how it caused continents to be split into islands and how it left scar-like rifts along the planet's terrain. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ff4524_cd0a5837295c43d48c9f69ee94b1a77f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1721,h_971,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/ff4524_cd0a5837295c43d48c9f69ee94b1a77f~mv2.webp

The Characters

Varos is a world ample with diversity and well-developed races. It was important during the writing process to explore different kinds of beings, including the beings living in Varos. You'll discover an interesting mix of races as you play, each one with its own variety of lifestyles, beliefs, and outlooks on life. https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/015/563/949/f09da4a0c5319ec74838b75be0ac3b67_original.png?w=680&fit=max&v=1487528380&auto=format&lossless=true&s=1013984bb12988a55bbf70aa9186a518

Exploring Varos

We've designed the world of Varos to be both vast and beautiful. We really want the player to make the most of the camera design, rotating and zooming to get a better look at the world and environments as they travel and explore. We will also be using this opportunity to hide secret areas, loot and Easter eggs in Sol Ni Koro.

No forced backtracking!

We're avoiding filler, so there will be be no forced backtracking through areas the player has previously visited. Sure, you can backtrack if you want to search for secret areas, loot or just power level your party. But you absolutely shouldn't have to. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ff4524_6e38ed57c0ee4aeda9083ce922b51886~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1920,h_1080,al_c,q_90/ff4524_6e38ed57c0ee4aeda9083ce922b51886~mv2.webp

The Combat System

The combat system in Sol Ni Koro has been designed to be at its core fast paced and streamlined, but also fun and exciting! https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/015/552/797/c33cc0abc99afdc6bd9a774acf495e9e_original.gif?w=680&fit=max&v=1487420053&auto=format&gif-q=50&q=92&s=62255a06c0267d842726b3ad099b7f86

Unique Character Skills

Each playable character in Sol Ni Koro has a completely unique skill set. Characters will gain new skills in two ways: 1. Levelling up 2. Equipping 'Scrolls' Each character and his or her skill set will prove useful in different battle situations. For example, Nova's skill set 'Magic Arts' is focused around offensive magic, while Lalune's skill set 'Sword Arts' leans towards physical/elemental attacks and de-buffing the enemy.

Scrolls

'Ancient parchments left behind for those that have been blessed by the Sun' When equipped to a character a scroll will grant a visible stat boost. But what's particularly interesting about scrolls is that they will grant an invisible bonus too. Some scrolls will grant the character a special ability, skill/spell or secret stat boost as well. Scrolls will also behave differently when equipped by different characters, it's all about experimenting! https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/015/553/584/9fcbebe1f69732ac59643a68a766ad2e_original.png?w=680&fit=max&v=1487428294&auto=format&lossless=true&s=babf3560d563cc2046a4a54e9bc3567f

Dear Turbo Pug fans,

Thank you so much

Turbo Pug 1 launched on November 15th 2015 and since then you've shown us an overwhelming amount of support. Not just when you bought our games, but with the emails, Facebook messages, Steam messages, comments on the Steam community forums and even phone calls at 4am (Thanks for that, whoever it was. It was cute, a bit scary, but cute. *Removes mobile phone number from email signature*) Your support has been amazing and helped us continue to work on the games that we love. Turbo Pug 1 was fun to work on and to be a part of. Super Mega Neo Pug was a new direction for our pug games and a much better game, at least in our opinion. But really, it's the fans opinions that count and that really matter to us. After the launch of Neo Pug, the community gave us some fantastic feedback. Neo Pug got a really positive reception on Steam. But you basically screamed out for another Pug runner. So we went back to the drawing board and started working on a completely re-imagined Pug runner. Turbo Pug DX is the game that the fans deserve, that we think you'll enjoy even more than Turbo Pug 1. This is why we went with a super low price point, we want everyone to be able to enjoy Turbo Pug DX and we want to say thank you for the insane amount of support you've given us over the last 10 months.

DX development team

We were lucky enough to have a new artist working with us on DX, the super talented Shingo helped us craft Turbo Pug DX. Everything was crafted with love and the direction of myself and SnowFlame co-founder Vampiressae. As always with our Pug games, the music for DX was composed by Felix Arifin. Felix is an absolute gentleman and super dude. Thanks to the dedicated and hardworking team, without you guys we wouldn't be here now.

Steam Reviews

If you love or enjoy playing our games. Please let us know, let other members of the Steam community know. Reviews are crucial to the success of a game on Steam, we all know that, but it also helps us as developers. It helps us deliver more cool games and change things that just don't work. So please, drop us a Steam review, tell us how you found Turbo Pug DX.

The future of Turbo Pug

We'd love to continue making Turbo Pug games, with a larger budget and a whole new game premise. We want to take more risks and at the same time reward the fan base. So if you love Turbo Pug DX half as much as we loved making it. Then please, drop a Steam review, share the store page on social media, with your friends, make videos and of course in DX you can make your own custom level skins too! So why not share these with friends, they can import your artwork directly, swap and share custom level skins. As always, please try not to squish your pugs! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You guys and girls rock! Dan ːSuperPugː
