    Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

    Don't shoot the messenger. I'm neither German nor a lawyer so I can't speak with any authority on how their laws (don't) work. All I and The Wall did is repeat what the developers told us. Maybe HobGoblin is lying and he spent all the money on cocaine and hookers. I don't fucking know. For now...

    Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

    What Hobgoblin has said in the past is that the problem is not really that Tim has the title as Managing Director. It's that he's 50% owner of the company. Any business decision has to be agreed on by both owners. Since the guy won't communicate with him, there's fuck all Hob can do until Ceres...

    Game News Expeditions: Rome is officially a thing

    Perhaps... if you find some psychedelic mushrooms.

    Expeditions: Rome - the final Expeditions game from Logic Artists

    I think it's probably more that that would almost be like creating a completely different campaign. The most we can realistically expect is a few special lines of dialogues based on character's gender. Anything more complex than that would probably be too expensive to be worth it from a...

    Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

    Yes, the situation is very bleak. I'm not denying that. I'm just saying, they have a backup plan. It could work. It's also possible even if they go forward with the plan and release a module on Steam but then doesn't sell because people think it's shit. I just don't see any point in...

    Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

    I didn't mention because I'm not sure if that's still the case. Last time I heard from Hobgoblin was the end of January and he said it was not fair to say CEO was ghosting him. I suppose it's possible the guy has told him he's going through some family emergency or something and needs some time...

    Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

    Those without access to the combat beta demo may also be under the impression there has been absolutely no discernible progress made since the it was released to us in May. But there have actually been quite a few small updates made to it over the summer. It has mostly been minor bug fixes, but...

    Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

    That is allegedly what they are are doing. There's apparently three people currently working on the game: The "CEO" / lead level designer (who is currently in negotiations with potential publishers), the programmer, and the writer / quest designer. But they're working on part time as they had...

    Expeditions: Viking - historical Viking RPG from Logic Artists

    The last news seems to be from late 2018 when they announced that THQ Nordic had acquired the IP rights to the Expeditions series, but Logic Artists is working on the next installment of the series.

    Game News NeocoreGames go turn-based with King Arthur: Knight's Tale, now on Kickstarter

    Several years ago NeoCore had announced a party-based tactical CRPG called "Broken Sea" which was described as having an "Ocean Punk" setting. Unfortunately it seems it never went past the concept phase and they've removed all traces of it from their site. But I recall there being some nice...

    Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

    Well, I'm not sure what they may have said about it years ago, but I found a comment from their lead writer in May on Discord: "The initial release will only cover Cormac. Cormac itself features over 20-30 locations. There will be some bits of Kvenland in the 1.0 release (but not the entire...

    Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

    Technically I'm not even sure RB has downsized their playable map... Have they ever really revealed how big it was supposed to be? The game's world (Argaea) is quite large but the game is only taking place in a small part of it. Mainly one country (Cormac), though you can create characters who...

    Vapourware Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen - Chaos Chronicles reborn and dead again

    Recent comments about the (Steam Early Access) release date from the developers: "Early 2021 is still the plan. With 'early' meaning any time during the first half of the year. We're not going to state any specific month because it would be talking out of our ass. We could roll a d12 and pick...

    There will be Age of Decadence 2?

    Ceres has expressed interest in making a few RB expansion packs if Ashes of the Fallen is successful enough to make that financially viable.

    KickStarter Mechajammer (formerly Copper Dreams) - cyberpunk RPG from Whalenought Studios

    Perhaps after seeing the success that others had going from "No True With the Furies" to "Disco Elysium"?
