Your environmental art is fantastic, really suits the setting.
Your comment just made an artist happy!Your environmental art is fantastic, really suits the setting.
Another important thing: since you guys really didn't like the new name, we'll start two different surveys during our small Indiegogo campaign: one to decide the real, serious name of the game; another to decide a not so serious name. Through a free DLC or something like that it will be possibile to play the stupid version of Icy (but don't worry, there will be only some minor changes that won't take times or money away from the real game).
So, do your best and worst (especially your worst) to give us some names to use in the surveys. I already took note of some that were suggested in the previous pages.
Well, you're not wrong. The basic economy is based on barter and lot of times is the best way to trade items. But since food isn't a reliable value (how can you compare some meat to some berries? it's not that easy) for stuff like rewards or big trades people use bullets. It's not completely realistic, since we have a single kind of bullets and in game like Metro we have a specific kind of bullets that are used as currency, but it's a decent compromise.On another note, why did you decide on bullets as the main currency instead of, say, food. I get that bullets are useful, but when food and shelter are the main challenges facing people erryday, you'd think filling your belly would take priority, and it woudln't be overly prone to spoilage at low temperatures. Maybe have a barter economy?
We gladly announce that our Indiegogo campaign for Icy will start in the next days.

You guys are going with icy?
Because we're poor, that's why.Why Indiegogo and not Kickstarter OwNathan ?
Yeeee! It seems that watching english and american TV series in the original language without subs for more than a year it's finally paying off.The English in the description is much smoother than your first pitch was. I'm still upset you guys didn't get funded for that one, but I'm going to pledge to this one too.
Yes, I did. If I recall correctly, the idea of Icy came to my mind after playing NEO Scavenger, as an experiment of merging both survival and RPG mechanics. Due to the few funds we had and a lot of design changes it came out as a quite different game, but the two games are certainly similar in some ways.Have you guys played Neoscavanger at all? Your looting seems similar.
We are going to run an awesome survey and anyone will be able to vote for the names we picked among the various suggestions.
Small locations will be deactivated for some days, the cities will provide more scavenge opportunities before deactivating.Will the available scavengable loot in a location decrease over time, or will it be a fixed percentage with relevant modifiers (skills, tools) applied?
Yep.Do tools break?
And I consider this as one of the biggest achievements in my life. Consider that I'm the idiot wearing the busby.I don't have any problem with the voice acting in the video
That's a good point, I'll fix this right now.There is no information about DRM - Stores that you want it on. Sure you probably want it on Steam but its a good idea to note it down.
We're going to do that, but right now I have no one free to do the graphics, I could only write down a list.I know its a bit like copying what everyone else do. But it might be a good idea to have a img that show the rewards and a list that show each tier.
Some areas are more dangerous than others, especially the ones near the end-game area.Is the encounter areas a giant pool. Or do it depends where your character / party is?
Most of them are visible, but there are some hidden places and the player must travel near them to actually see their icon on the map.Are you able to see all the areas on the map from the start or do you need to find them?
Mh, I tought it could be a funny thing, but I guess we'll stick with Icy - Journey on the White Wasteland, that should be post-apocalyptic enough to clarify an otherwise generic word like Icy.OwNathan I would say please do not have a name poll during your indiegogo.
(1) It risks being perceived as rudderless, not sure about your direction. This isn't rational, of course, because renaming your game doesn't mean anything about how good you are at making games, but it just invites thoughts like "they can't even..."
(2) If you finish the poll during the campaign and announce the new name, it also confuses a lot of people - you are backing for XYZ, previously known as Icy! Crowdfunding is all about communicating your project clearly and memorably to the world.
It would make sense to do it after, or before.
Today, or tomorrow in the case of really bad feedbacks about something. And I hope we won't.Only became aware of this just now, but that's not a bad pitch.
I also like how you don't take yourselves too seriously.
Considering giving you my monies.
When is the campaign scheduled to launch ?
