    And it's not?

    Well, I suppose I could inquire why you're taking it so personally and keep complaining about AoD every chance you get, as if it violated your delicate sensibilities, but it's just easier to type 'butthurt?'.

    We should be reserved about turn based, party based RPGs when we learn that the party members will be controlled by the AI. This idea has failed in every game where it was implemented and it fundamentally conflicts with some of the key strengths of turn based combat.

    It is challenging to design fun turn based combat and I'm not convinced that this project will succeed in doing it.

    I have some news for you. Fallout allied NPCs were running on hastily put together scripts - not an Ai.
    Because of time and money constraints imposed by the publisher.

    Lundb was not arguing for any such shit.
    Because no one even argued for "supporting all turn based games, no matter how good it is" - in the first place.
    Seeing how none who put money did it because they have some special precognition of the ending quality of the game....


    Which makes your entire post extremely stupid, unintelligent, shallow, moronic and blatantly fake accusation - just as Lundb one was.

    There's a new update with a work-in-progress wallpaper and info on what they'll be releasing this week (e.g. music). Maybe they should have some video updates to hype people up. This kickstarter has been rather sparse in its interfacing so far, maybe in part because its taking a while to reach its goal.

    They were "sparse" before the Kickstarter too. DoubleBear cannot into PR.

    Well that certainly doesn't seem desperate at all, nope. Looking forward to the gnashing of teeth, the torrent of tears since it seems very unlikely it'll even pass the first stretch goal regardless of how many carrots they try to dangle. Fourteen Thirteen weapons, and they're all yours for only $2,307.69 each. Then tens of thousands later you might get something you might care about, but can you really risk donating for that goal when it seems unlikely you're going to get it?

    All in all, I'm kinda disappointed by the lack of constant updates from the DS team. I admit that I'm spoiled by the way the developers of other Kickstarters interacted constantly. Is just a nickpick.

    To repeat what Dildotron said: Double Bear cannot into PR.

    They interact all the time in the comments section. But what information in the updates can they possibly have to offer? "Nope, still not funded. Still not funded. Still not funded."

    Sorry VD, believe it or not I actually 'kind' of like AoD and will buy it when (if) it gets out. Also, not that this would matter but, just in case, I strongly encourage everybody to buy it. And my 'sensitive' is quite flexible, so please inquire or denigrate away. To remain on the topic, though, I am happy Dead State has been funded. Looking forward to play it as well.



    Hiver, thank you sir for your highly intelligent (I assume that you understand that stupid=unintelligent=moron), deep, and completely true comments. Any time a person (?) of your caliber is kind enough to teach morons (again, please pay attention: moron=stupid=unintelligent; got it?) like me where the true is, the world becomes a better place.

    fine...fineee... alriiiight.
    i used a bit too harsh words. happy?
    Also no, stupid, unintelligent and moron are not entirely the same thing. Nuances matter.

    still, neither lundb nor you were right at those dual presumption about the rest of us forcing or even telling anyone or even thinking that : "codexian have the moral duty to support ANY turn-based game, not matter how good it is, (as LundB was arguing)".
