Hohokum, Super Exploding Zoo, and Frosbisher Says developer Ricky Haggett has announced an upcoming PS4 and PC title called Loot Rascals.
The debut effort of Haggett's new studio Hollow Ponds, Loot Rascals is a procedurally-generated roguelike set on an alien planet where players move about a hexagonal plain collecting cards and battling monsters. Defeating foes rewards players with Loot Chips - i.e. cards - dictating their abilities. Players will have to assemble their deck as they see fit and convert the cards they don't want into currency.
Now here's where it gets interesting: Getting a game-over results in your corpse being looted by enemies. Once your cadaver has been stripped clean, your Loot Chips will appear on their new owners in another player's game. Big baddies will only carry Loot Chips from other players and they'll only snag the best gear.
