Steam Users Rock

Its an exciting time for us here at Sakari Indie. Earlier this week the PC version of Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood went live on Steam. We’re on a short vacation right now (we really needed this after the initial Mac release). Yet we do keep an eye out however, as we’re typing this from a café in the heart of France. So as you can imagine, we are freaking out! Our inbox is being filled with so many comments and suggestions and we are super thankful for all this feedback we’ve gotten so far. Thats what we’re doing it for after all, with your help we can make the game even better in the future.

So rest assured, starting next week we will be replying to all your response, hop on the Steam forums for more in depth discussion and work on making Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood an even better experience for all. You’ve given us so many great suggestions for DLC, we would be fools if we didn’t go through with that! Oh, and please be kind to the poor defenseless chickens!

Heh, I was already going to suggest “they’re on vacation” when people said you weren’t reachable but I figured you’d take a week or two directly after the Mac release which was a month ago I think.

This is a very fun game!
It still has an arcade game feeling to it but its funny and great!

It has so much more potential though! it would be an awesome multiplayer game and it you had enough maps and servers you could sell this for $25 i think!

In single player though, it gets boring playing on only 1 map, make some more and add it on steam so the previous owners of the game can get them for free.
It has so much potential, keep working on it!

If we got everybody to comment i garuntee that almost everybody will tell you guys to MAKE MORE MAPS AND MAKE IT MULTIPLAYER

(You should make your player customizable but nothing extreme)

Hey this is a very fun game I really enjoy playing it!  Keep up the good work! Add more stuff (like coop).  Have fun on vacation!

This game has much more potential. Add a multiplayer mode and it will unquestionably be the best Indie game on Steam.

This game is great fun in the tradition of games like Team Fortress and the Lego games. I love it. The only thing that would make it even more fun is multi-player! When will you guys be adding a multi-player vs. mode?

Hey guys, first off I I would like to say that I bought your game because
A) It was only $6 and
B) The screen shots on steam blew me away.
I am happy to say I made an excellent purchase. It is definitely worth the 6 dollars i spent on it. That being said, I would easily pay $25 for it if it had Multi-player online (Deathmatch and co-op) and if it had some customizable features including character color and character facial features. For me if the game is good I dont care if there is only a few maps so lucky for you guys if you were to make 1 or 2 more maps I would being playing this everyday and many people like me would do the same thing.

That being said I would like to compliment all of you on making such an amazing game. Visually, it is great. It is unlike any other game I have ever played. The controls are freaking perfect as well. If you were to add the few things I mentioned this could very well be the best 3rd person shooter ever.

Well done Sakari Team! I look forward to future DLC for this game as well as future games you may make. You have definitely made a name for yourself out in the gaming world and you guys should be proud!

I just bought this game on Steam because it looked like a lot of fun, however.  I have a problem and can find no mention of it anywhere.

As soon as I enter the game my character constantly turns right.  I have no joysticks plugged in or anything and I see no way to disable joystick controls to see if disabling it would do anything.

Please help me I’d like to be able to play this game :(

Jack: People made tons of posts in the Mac Release article, the Steam article went up fairly late.

OMG, I LOVED THIS GAME!!!!!!
The screenshots blew me away, i love these kind of funny cartoony kinds of games like tf2 and etc….!!!!
what i sugest is this:
-A jetpack, but not in multi-player mode, well maybe but we’ll see. Have you guys seen transformers 2?
When optipmus takes jetfire’sparts and how the camera revolves around him while he’s transforming and how he finally blasts off? That’d be awesome if thatwas in the game, of course the jetpack, doesnt have to be so complicated, just a few parts popping out here and there , and of course, the camera movement, just like transformers 2!
-A survival mode, just like L4D, well except, theyre not zombies, or they could be, but nevermind that, theyre the rebels trying to attack you, and theyre a HUGE horde, and you and your friends have to go to the safe place in order for that helicopter to pick you up, maybe some ppl can play as the “boss infected”, or i dunno, just some ideas.
-MOAR WEAPONS!!!!!MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Maybe destructible enviroments, like gasolinetanks(or buckets or something else) that can be used to your advantage
-Dont go too far with this, dont make it too complicated, i hate when games are super complicated, it takes the fun away….
-New levels of course, you dont have to make too many, just afew for multi-player, or so.
-TAKE YOUR TIME ON THIS STUFF!!!!!
KEEP QUALITY IN MIND!!!!!!I LOVE THIS GAME! Plz dont mess it up!
              -THANX-

sorry bout the extra comment here, but this has to be said
-I have a 360 controller(anyone who’s tried this knows where im going)
and have grown very fond of using it, but as i tried to assign it to keys i couldnt find the right combination, and the worse thing: no “revert to default” option…..ok, i said guess i’ll have to use the mouse, nothing wrong with that, but i was just suggesting sakari….can you just make it simple and make a “gamepad controls” option in the controls menu?, or better yet, when youre in-game, and you plug the gamepad in, make the game automatically switch to game pad controls, like most games…..oh and plz dont do it crappy, like i said before, take your time on this, your loyal fans expect quality from you guys!

                -I LUVZ YOU GUYZ!!!!!!

Damn, im forgetting to write stuff, i dont want to seem like im ordering you guys around, remember, im just suggesting…....
-All I wanted to say is that voices would go awesomely with this game, if anyone here has played tf2, they get me. When youkill ppl, the killer says something funny, and if they kill like 2 or 3 or 4in a row they say different things every time. When i first saw this game, the character reminded me of te sodier from tf22 and i love what that what that guy says “MAGGOTS!!!”, and how he laughs after he kills some1 with his rocket launcher. I’d love this game with all my heart if it got any funnier. =D

          -You know, just another    
          suggestion!

Great game !
+1 for Bob’s suggestions :)
As for more suggestions : multiplayer would be awesome, random chickens would be great too, oh and more maps, for more chickens of course !
Keep up the good work ! my best spent 5€ this year so far =)

More maps and hot-keying the guns to 1-5 etc would definitely make this game more enjoyable!  Multi player would also help, but that seems optional in my opinion.

The idea above about a survival mode would be pretty cool for multi player as well, as they waves get bigger and more complicated, more rocket launcher foes etc.  Of course, with no defense of the civilians, just survive waves of enemies.

I also noticed that the gunfire seems to come from over the shoulder of the character, so if hes facing say a chicken, and hes zoomed in, chicken dies, but if you zoom out and that camera sees a wall, it shoots the wall, not what he’s pointing at.  Minor ‘bug’ I suppose.

A very minor character customization, maybe helmet, shirt pants, color?  Some of this i am sure could come as DLC, but this doesn’t appeal to everyone.

First level has a kind of bug where you can basically walk up the rocks next to the civilian building, and fall behind it inside of the walls.  Doesn’t do anything to your advantage in that single player mode, but it would give a good advantage if a multi player survivor mode was made.

This is a very well done indie game, and it was actually a very smooth and fun experience :)  Keep up the good work, and I hope to see more for this game here soon! =D

i love you guys, awesome ideas for content would be to keep it simple, some more guns, multiplayer, minor character cuztimization, and defindatly more maps and game modes like survival or chiken slaugter.  great work thogh guys, oooone more suggestion that i think would be fantastic as the original supporters of your game i think that the people who already have the game should recieve the dlc free. (: thank you

i love this game but its kinda short, new levels would make me play for endless hours

By ShelleDnShocked on September 6th 2009

I love this game. It’s a fun break from today’s modern FPS’s. Multiplayer/Co-Op modes would be a great addition and new levels with “different situations” too.

By Backwards on December 22nd 2009

Add multiplayer man. That would be the best thing in the world for this game. MULTI-PLAYER tdm, Ffa, ctf, etc. Add it I’ll buy you a beer lmao.
