I was promised Jotun, what I got was Jøtun. (what is up with people and abusing the ø nonsensically?)
Seemed kinda interesting until the words "randomly generated" came up. That shit loses my interest so fast nowadays. "yay, great, yet another randomly generated top down perspective game".
Guys the only thing that matters here is Double Action: Boogalo.
Aka the spiritual successor to The Specialists

At this point "randomly generated" can be read as "I don't know how to map design so I'll have the game just slap things together on the fly"
It rarely looks half as good as something hand designed and is usually completely forgetable

Featuring a soundtrack by LeetStreet Boys, the guys that did [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn7jpINpqbQ]She's So Kawaii.[/url] Their singer used to argue relentlessly with Youtube commenters, it was fucking hilarious.

It seems that NOTHING can beat Gender Bender DNA Twister extreme
At least this time none of those *Thing* Simulator "games" that have been popping up were approved. That has to count for something, right?
still no vector thrust, might as well die

No no, it's more like, 5-10 interesting/most likely good games, and then 40 rip-offs and Visual novels.
Jotun actually looks really interesting.

I would get it. I enjoyed the Zelda like gameplay from Binding of Issac. And I fucking love Norse Mythology.
Glad to see the new Histwar got Greenlit.

It's actually the Faroese way of writing Jötunn, which is what the giants are called in Norse mythology.

Not necessarily what 'they are called in the mythology', but more 'the word means'. Can't edit on mobile

Makes no sense to go for the Faroese way of writing. Should have named it Jǫtunn

Alright I'll give you that; plus a large portion of the Kickstarter, website, and press kit writes it as Jotun instead of Jøtun.
