Titanium Court (Demo)

developed by AP Thomson and participating in February Steam Next Fest

During the judging process for the Independent Games Festival, there was plenty of hush-hush hype around a certain mysterious, unannounced game by AP Thomson (previous works including life simulation RPG Consume Me and fortune-manipulating RPG Fortune-499). Lots of "I can't tell you about it and it's hard to describe, but this is looking really interesting!"

Titanium Court, which was revealed publicly through its official nomination (it's now a finalist for four awards, including Excellence in Design and Excellence in Narrative), can now, finally, be described publicly: "A surreal strategy game for clowns and criminals." Oh, okay.

Titanium Court is a strategy game, sort of. You command your faerie court in war, deploying troops and gathering resources to sustain your campaign. That's somewhat familiar, isn't it? A fantasy strategy game?

Well, Titanium Court - between side-eyeing lawyer billboards and modern road signage while trying to hide from trebuchets - is also a surreal Match-3 game set in a shifting world with a strange fairy court to converse with between battles and a limited color palette (it contains similar pinks and whites and blues to previous rock-paper-scissors AP Thomson game Fortune-499, which follows a fortune teller witch working at a large corporation who manipulates the odds to succeed in monster-clearing RPG combat), shuffling hazards and landscapes to your advantage in High Tide, when the world is manipulable.

Maybe you should just get a taste yourself with the demo, it'd be easier to understand.

Can someone who plays Merge Gardens kindly tell me what the FUCK. Is going on in that game?

It was one thing when it was “my grandmother was framed for murder and…presumably left something in the garden to exonerate her” that was a weird enough ad campaign but now

THIS

What the fuck is happening! Is the red head a witch? Is the garden a guardian that eats people? Why can’t we trust Rita!? I ask because I just KNOW none of these questions will be answered in the game without me losing a lot of my life to it. Please help I have followed sad, bespectacled women in match 3 ad games for a decade now and I feel very connected to them spiritually

Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 Is OUT NOW! + FAQ

Firstly, our match-3 survival horror comedy RPG metroidvania you didn't know you needed is OUT NOW! Here's the launch trailer!

Now, the 3 in the title may need a little explanation so we put together this handy FAQ. FAQ: WHAT IS CREEPY REDNECK DINOSAUR MANSION 3?

WHAT IS CREEPY REDNECK DINOSAUR MANSION 3?

It’s a video game!

Also, we’re calling it the match-3 survival horror comedy RPG metroidvania you didn't know you needed. A “matchroidvania”, if you will. And you should, because that’s what we’re calling it.

DO I NEED TO PLAY CREEPY REDNECK DINOSAUR MANSION OR CREEPY REDNECK DINOSAUR MANSION 2 TO UNDERSTAND?

So, there is no Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 1 or 2. This game was originally intended as a sequel to two games that didn’t exist, because we thought it would be funny.

Then the game industry took a nosedive, and this game got cancelled, un-cancelled, and cancelled again.

When we started on CRDM3 for the third and final time, we saw an opportunity to use this sequel to a series that doesn’t exist to actually say something about the game industry, and the process of making a game in 2025. You’ll probably appreciate a lot of the jokes if you’re a game developer, but if you aren’t, we hope the game is both understandable and a good introduction to that secret world of knowledge and context you usually only get from being prematurely aged by this hellfire of an industry first.

DID THE TEAM CHANGE DURING ALL THOSE CANCELLATIONS? HOW DOES THAT IMPACT DEVELOPMENT?

Our team composition naturally changed over time as we ran into lulls or developers moved on to other projects. The result is a game that doesn't just have a false history--but a real one. Everyone who has ever worked on CRDM3 is somewhere in the project, with a joke, a piece of art, or just an idea crafted with genuine care. We hope the game finally getting the chance to launch honors their contributions.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A MOBILE GAME! WHY DOES IT USE MATCH-3 MECHANICS?

We were inspired by Puzzle Quest and Puzzle & Dragons, games that use these mechanics in a similar way, but mostly focus on combat. It seemed to us that there was wiggle room to explore conflict and characters through these mechanics, so we built a really robust Match-3 system with things like character traits, consumable items, stress meters, and more!

It means that using the same grid of simple symbols, everything from crafting a cursed hunting rifle, to hacking a mainframe, to trying to out-cowboy a plesiosaur, can be done with the same core mechanics--massively expanding the range of things you can do in the typical RPG.

WILL WE EVER GET A CREEPY REDNECK DINOSAUR MANSION 1 OR 2?

If there’s interest in more, we’ll be listening! For now, we hope you enjoy what we’ve made and the place that it comes from.

WILL WE EVER GET A CREEPY REDNECK DINOSAUR MANSION 4?

No.

----------- We hope you enjoy our weird-ass game with Dinosaurs and match-3 and a not subtle commentary on the games industry. Also, fun fact, on the steam page right now you can watch me playing the game! I do voices and everything! See you on the internet, - Chris @ Strange Scaffold.
