Tactical Breach Wizards gameplay trailer - Act 2

store.steampowered.com/app/10...
The game's shaping up nicely, and we're showing it off a little differently this time: this trailer is by the great Derek Lieu: www.derek-lieu.com/
The music is by our composer Robert Arzola, who's also doing the music for the game: robertarzola.com/
We'll still be doing long and rambly talkthroughs too, it's just we've done a bunch of those for Wizards, and it would get spoilery to fully explain some of what's new here.
Team:
Words/Design/Some Code: Tom Francis
Art Director: John Roberts
Programming: John Winder
Music: Robert Arzola
Level Design: Steve Lee

"In Tactical Breach Wizards, Francis's Defenestration trilogy reaches its operatic climax." - goty 10/10

[@ArcNine9Angel]

OMG that is good

[@Mengmoshu]

I noticed the defenestration trend too. And then had to think about how much fun (or trouble) defenestration can be in the previous games...

[@msemanko123]

The best defenestration is a good offenestration.

[@edwardnewtonLA]

@@msemanko123 the best joke is always in the comments :thumbsup:

[@Extramrdo]

"You already own all these outfits, but it takes confidence to pull them off" is extremely too relatable.

[@super_7710]

I'm the opposite. Own nothing but I'll try anything haha.

[@brettabraham]

The only game I've been truly hyped for over the last couple years. So excited!

[@GrandHighGamer]

Once again we see proof that Tom Francis is like Thanos for windows.

[@emmettraymond8058]

Pfft, Thanos could only manage half.

[@TheCoryKid]

I've been playing the playtest over the last three or four days. This game is definitely Tom's best work yet. It's a perfect blend of Gunpoint and Into the Breach.

[@JonasPolsky]

you lucky sob

[@kakroom3407]

I approve of the 80% of this trailer that is launching human beings through glass

[@WizardofWestmarch]

The defenestration series continues I see.

[@papitopaez]

day 1 purchase for me, love you tom

[@danielabramenko7367]

I bet Tom actively evaluates the defenestration opportunities of every window he passes.

[@ineedanewname.8169]

Been super hyped about this for the last few years. Glad to see a bit more of it, the scope looks so much wider than things i saw before, can't wait to experience more of your works signature charm and intricate mechanics. Keep up the great work!

[@pixelblaze8284]

honestly the continuation of defenestration tactics makes me extremely happy considering how fun it is in your previous games. Also it's been so cool coming along as you make this remembering your first demos and seeing how much work you've put into it since then!

[@morank3]

So excited for this game. I will leave no window unbroken

[@uheartbeast]

Really excited for this one.

[@Ipsenscastle]

I was watching the PC gaming show as part of a chat room, and this trailer was the absolute highlight for most viewers! I'm really proud to have been tangentially involved via the playtest :)

[@johnhak2437]

"Oh come on" absolutely the best text quote thing ever and I wish you the best with everything.

[@andrewowens4421]

When you get defenestrated into a dark abyss of eternal torment.

[@rungeon83]

NO WAY!! I was so certain this was not gonna be made as it felt like things died down and I always thought what a huge shame as I LOVE the idea , the art the execution of just the small demostration you did. This has me so excited!

[@Toastoffire100]

Pre-ordering charms? Check. Hype-regulating talismans? Down to 20% efficiency. Ready to buy? I uhh, didn't get paid last month... Oh. Well, we can probably figure something out. Breach? Breach. *Defenestration sounds*

[@souporwormgaming]

Super hyped! My favorite part of Gunpoint and Heat Signature has to be the dialogue. I’ve legit never laughed as hard at a game as in Gunpoint, and I can’t wait to see it in this game.

[@Winterydee]

I liked the trailer! The game is looking good and it does seem to have your wit in the dialog.

[@teecee1827]

Saved this "E3" season there, guys

[@shivamib]

10/10 would defenestrate again

[@phantompower1498]

Happy to see our in-house composer on this project!

[@georgeparkes3863]

‘We owe it yourselves to try!’ 😂👍

[@ragintombo]

Day 1 purchase. And looking forward to more long and rambly walkthroughs too!

[@goodtaste2185]

Good to see you back, Tom!

[@Aaronb1215]

You scored the greatest URL in history.

[@3thanguy7]

the defenestration trilogy comes to a remarkable close

[@alright4389]

[@Qwarky]

[@Mattzere]

[@simonbysshe]

Looks amazing Tom!!!

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

Yesssss!!! I'm so excited!

[@vaidenkelsier7757]

Heat Signature was a fantastic game, and this looks dope as hell.

[@Reptonious]

Love the subtle lighting and particle improvements, they overall add up to a lot. In total looks like the UX was improved a ton since the beta

[@lemon_evo2802]

I am so ready for this

[@XILEXHD]

Looks like its coming along nicely. Cant wait. Ill probably buy it full price first day.

[@ArcNine9Angel]

You know what time it is. Defenestration time.

[@iamcraiglewis]

I’m excited for this.

[@francisco43699]

Im sooo excited for this game!

[@Flocko_]

I can't wait!!!

[@nosidezero]

This looks so much fun

[@daveinthemicrowave]

This reminds me of Into the breach. super hyped for this game.

[@NevTheDeranged]

This looks so sick.

[@TheUndergroundsonic]

can't wait!!

[@karinkwesker]

So excited about this :)

[@DenisRyan]

I'm streaming this Day One!! Can't wait!

[@ZrinNZ]

I fully support Defenestration Wizard Simulator 2024. I don't know a game I have laughed harder at over the course of a thirty minute DEMO than I have at this one.

[@Kyle-qn9ci]

This looks radical

[@kainan613]

This looks sick

[@innodationproduction]

Heck yeah!

[@flywheelshyster]

I was just on my steam wishlist, saw that I added this game back in July 2019 lol, I was like...i really wanna see this game is it ever gonna come out? I forgot completely that it was made by dude who did Heat Signature, which I loved. still kick to the heat signature score all the bloody time, but this footage looks dope! worth the wait

[@thegodofalldragons]

Heheh, I already got to playtest the stuff in the trailer. 😎

[@supersackboy200]

0:48 ඞ

[@OKNewman]

Ayy, congrats on the showing on PC Gamer!

[@LostScarf]

I am totally hype. Looks good and I missed the writing from Gunpoint. Heat Signature was fun, but I missed the story telling.

[@ilPrinni]

Looks amazing! Tho would like to see a link to the steam page in the description. I think I already wishlisted tho hehe

[@thebigboy284]

I LOVE DEFENESTRATION

[@Taihouchan]

I really hope there will be rappel breach similar to 1:05 storm witch's window breach

[@graycat7777]

Excite

[@efefe48]

1:29 Were those bags of Ash from Deadbolt?

[@Pencilbrand]

0:47 Amongus siren

[@jonahfalcon1970]

Wow, I'm getting Jagged Alliance vibes.

[@hihowdyhellohi5231]

Yeeeeeees letssssssss goooooo

[@abwuds7208]

Please add the CTA for wishlist inside the video description :)

[@MayorGeorgeofficial]

Wanna see a magic trick? Abrakadabra Soldier-

[@JohnWayne7777]

Any info when it will come out approximately? :)

[@miguelpisfil2247]

If only all games were made by Tom... 😔

[@SanderMalus]

0:06 is that a wand with an attached silencer and a laser sight?

[@Cobalt57]

It’s an assault rifle/magic time crystal wand over/under combo :D

[@misterproject8]

I'd really like to know if Tom scribbled "MENTION THROWING PEOPLE OUT OF WINDOWS" in Derek Liu's notes for this trailer

[@DerekLieu]

lol, he did not. But I knew what I had to do 🪟

[@Retrospectivaa]

This was the only game I was hoping to see besides Silksong

[@Mac_Omegaly]

And now you got both... Yay! 😊

[@TheMaverick1998]

I want this! How many years do i have to wait?

[@davidb4020]

Does that play like Breach & Clear or just a regular tactical turn-based game?

[@silkyz68]

How did you know what my next D&D campaign was going to be?

[@memoryleaked]

>tfw you get to get to push the thumbsup counter from 999 to 1k

[@mando47766]

Will the game be on console or pc only?

[@akreid4614]

Hey, don’t know where to write this, but do you want to localize your game into other languages? Spanish, Romanian, Russian, French?

[@GOLD4DJ]

Is this game still happening? i forgot about it

[@5chneemensch138]

So you're saying Corridor's Wizard Cops got a game? I'm down.

[@localhearthian2387]

Defenestrate the Police

[@emergentgameplay]

it's taking a while.

[@robertarzola]

good things take time

[@peezieforestem5078]

The trailer just doesn't fit the style. Otherwise, I'm glad things are doing well.

[@buttonasas]

Same - it's one of the best games but it's not "epic", it's actually quite comedic and chill.
