Cipher Guild and the New Illustration Style
6/29/2009 06:51:00 PM | By Unknown - 0 comments

Some Gangsters, like the signal pirates of Cipher Guild, stay alive by minding their own business and performing odd jobs for the bigger, more dangerous inner-city Gangs. Fortunately, the members of Cipher Guild are quite adept at hiding their tracks for those times when they decide to foray into the deep recesses of King City...



A common member of Cipher Guild, and an example of the new Illustration Style of Bijoux Red.


We here at Revolver Games have been recently seeing some major improvements throughout the production of Bijoux Red. But when you are in such a creative, progressive environment, you can't help but want to step up your game! It felt only natural when I proposed we take the illustrations in a new direction.

We have experimented with changing the illustrations before to match a more familiar & contemporary aesthetic but that idea quickly fell flat. After some time passed, we approached the idea again with much more success! I look forward to sharing more illustrations with all of you in the coming months.

Managing Your Units! Part 1 - The Units Window
6/28/2009 10:54:00 PM | By Rene - 0 comments

The forgotten gangster world of King City, located ominously along the great Inveighlannes sea, is yours to explore in Bijoux Red! Beware, however, on embarking on this adventure alone! Word is that no one can survive King City without a Gang to back them up... so you'd better move quickly and find a Gang that will take you!



Once you join a gang, you can start managing your units and preparing them for battle! From the World Map, hitting the Units icon on the Command Menu opens the Units Window.




Opening the Units Window will show you all of the units currently fighting for your Gang! As long as you have these guys, you'll be safe... probably.




Double-click, or 'Inspect', a unit to view their Unit Profile. Visha's looking pretty good. Bosses, and other unique units, like Visha and Ander, tend to be stronger than the common Gangster!




Having a hard time defending your territory? Every turn, new units will appear in the Recruit Window! Don't hesitate to build your ranks!




But be mindful of your numbers. There is only a limited amount of room in each Gang! If you have too many units, you may not be able to recruit new ones!




Retire units that you no longer need and make room for the ones you want. Or increase your Gang Rank to raise the total amount of units you can recruit!




Maintaining a wide variety of skilled units is the backbone of a strong Gang. Treat them well and maybe you'll have a chance at staying alive in King City!
