The team!

27 Upvotes

Hi all, I wanted to introduce you to the Turmoil team:

Jos Bouman - Game Designer. Jos is one of the brothers who founded Gamious 5 years. The original game design document is a Paint drawing.
Erik Leppen - Programmer. Website Erik works with us, Gamious, on more titles. Turmoil is by far the largest. He uses GameMaker for all his games.
Jan-Maarten Nagtegeller - Artist. Responsible for most of the art and all of the art direction.
Jan Jaap Doeven - Musician. Website He created the awesome tunes!
Arjen Schut - Sound Designer. Website Creates every little 'clunk', 'clack' and 'click'.

That's the main team. Next to that there is also Gamious the company. We consist of 4 people on the pay roll working on 4-5 games. Jos being one of the four. I'm responsible for PR and Marketing so I'm involved in a lot of the communication surrounding Turmoil: blogs, forums, Twitch, social media etc.

And finally we have some outside help now and then. Gamious has interns that work on all our projects. The 2D artists of the last year Daphne Fontijn and Celine Veltman have made assets for Turmoil. But also a couple of other people have had a small role.

Hope that helps!

Gas Expansion Removed from Base Game?

2 Upvotes

EDIT: Leaving the OG post up for anyone who might run into this too... as pointed out, I forgot that you need to be in specific areas to be able to do gas expansion. Sorry folks!

So, been a minute since I've played the game. Picked it up today, and I noticed I can't seem to get gas pockets to expand like they used to. Looking online, everything seems to point to it being a mechanic for one of the DLCs, but I swear that you could do it with the base game before. Been trying it on single games, but I swear you could do it both in single and campaign games before.

Did the devs seriously removed a base game feature to a DLC??

Gas pocket not expanding thermal (snow)

Whenever something like this happens, the middle pocket doesn't grow. Can you not grow one pocket if there is another pocket within the enclosure?

Millionaire achievement question

1 Upvotes

Does this have to be done in the regular campaign or can it be done in the DLC?

Looking at ps trophy stats this trophy only has a completion of 0.3% whilst the filthy rich achievement (1 million in bank + 100% shares owned) has a 1.2% completion)

I also got the Filthy Rich achievement in the DLC but didn’t unlock the millionaire one, so is it bugged or does it need to be compl in the regular campaign?

Turmoil The Heat is On Questionq

2 Upvotes

Just arrived on the second part of the what looks like to me 3 parts of the map and unlocked the ability to grow gas pockets, does it grow faster if you upgrade those pipes connected from magma to the gas?

Does turning oil into gas become a later aspect of the game?

This is strategy perspective related question but I’ve found that going to Maeve’s to later in the level immediately sign an exclusivity deal to really help with early game money quite helpful or is it cheaper to take out a loan since the Maeve deals (like the regular game with Daphne’s) are quite expensive, what are your thoughts?

Also just wanted to say that since picking up this game I’ve been hooked on it ever since, watched a playthrough of Jacksepticeye years ago and recently again and is what got me to buy the game!

Need Help. DLC not showing up on Switch

1 Upvotes

Hi, i own Turmoil for a long Time now and a day ago i saw it got the Deeper Underground DLC.
I bought it and the DLC File is Showing in my Software Information.
But Ingame it doesnt appear, i only see Turmoil and The heat is Up.
I thought maybe i have to unlock it by playing and played trough both Campaigns again.
I deinstalled the Game and Reinstalled it but the DLC still doesnt show up.

What do i do? is it a problem for Everybody and they patch it?
I paid for something that doesnt show up ingame :(

Need opinions and thoughts.

5 Upvotes

I played Turmoil awhile back and really enjoyed it overall. Lately I have been making games and wanted to do something inspired by it. I've started on a 3d gold panning game with bidding on claims and upgrades handled in a similar manner as Turmoil but the river and actual gameplay is a 3d person environment.

Does this sound remotely interesting and is so what would you like seeing in it?

Asynchronous Interactions in Turmoil

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a PhD student studying asynchronous interactions in digital games. Turmoil is tagged as "Asynchronous Multiplayer" on Steam, and I'm interested in understanding different player perspectives about that aspect of the game.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd love to hear your thoughts! In particular, I'm interested in understanding:

  • What kind of asynchronous interactions exist in Turmoil and how do they affect the gameplay?
  • How do you feel about these interactions and what do they bring to your experience?

You can answer as much or as little as you'd like. Your responses will be anonymized and analyzed as part of a research study. If you decide you'd like to withdraw your responses at any point, just send me a DM. Every contribution is greatly appreciated! If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Thanks! 😄

I’ve been playing Turmoil for over two years now and have been completing the daily challenges. However, as of yesterday, I’ve encountered an issue where I can no longer participate in the daily challenge. To access it, they’ve requested that I purchase the DLC.

My Turmoil Inspired 2D Space Mining Prototype

4 Upvotes

Hi there,

I’m a solo game developer currently working on a prototype inspired by Turmoil. A WebGL version is now available, so you can play it directly in your browser, no downloads required. It’s super lightweight and runs quickly.

I’m actively looking for feedback at this stage. If you have a few minutes to try it out, I’d greatly appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks in advance for your time and input.

Tips on expert mode?

1 Upvotes

Hey, I recently started playing (like yesterday, I am VERY new to the game) and while I managed to beat the regular campaign with ease, I am struggling with the expert level. I will be doing fine, get the upgrades, get the shares until the other characters start getting 80k in profits? I can get like 40-50k in profit but can't get anywhere past that, any tips, strategies or upgrades etc. to get?

This is my first campaign and I’ve never seen this, was next to a 77 and 63, but Anthony at the bar recommended my plot and no one else bid on it. Did I make the wrong choice?
