Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

The characters could probably use some standing out in both versions. But when moving this is far less of a problem, a video would give a better impression.

Goddamit, naming NPC after bros in the community, listening to graphical feedback, awesaome stuff like the zombie=>skeleton, and even an Alice Cooper song to finish? Larian is easily the most bro company ever, and the ones that best explore user feedback! The whole kickstarter craze in the last year was worth just to highlight how awesome you guys are.

I'll throw you some more hard earned brazilian reais, and even write a letter to the bro game colunist at Forbes, maybe he'll be persuaded to do a piece on comunity done right or something.

Keep on rocking bros!

If this doesn't reach 1 million, I don't know what to say except for: No justice in the world.

 

[Monty]

tbh I'm just hoping for 650k now. Sadly.

[tuluse]

650k is virtually a certainty, 800k seems unlikely but possible.

I'd pay a million if they kept him in (decaying) orbit.

Mr. Kain, good evening.

I'm sure you recieve many fanboys messages asking for some coverage on various projects and games everyday, and unfortunely I came here to do the same. Sorry.

Still, I would ask you to at least take a look at Larian's Divinity: Original Sin Kickstarter, not for the game per se (even though it does look good), but for the amazing relation they keep with their community, on a level of humilty, transparency and direct dialogue that should be an an example to all other crowd-funded projects and companies out there.

Their most recent update is a great example of it, as even core elements like the game's art direction is being changed by fan feedback, without resorting to crowd-pleasing approaches like votings and polls; no it's just a nice dialog where interesting ideas are implemented, no ego issues, "artistic integrity" or all those obstacles that turns most players/developers into monologues, in a time where "entitled gamers" hear "deal with it" as the most common sentence.

I'm not asking you to try and raise awareness for their kickstarer, even though they deserve it, but to their great relationship and respect; to show that this is still something doable, that people appreciate and get involved with companies that trully respect and hear them, instead of just saying "We respect and hear our consumers" on their PR releases. I guess this letter is a proof of it.

Thanks for your time reading this, and also thank you for writting instresting texts instead of press-releases.

Cheers from Brazil!

Felipe Pepe

It builds a good case for all those fucking marketeers not showing a bit of their game but trailers and no demo's. Whatever you picture the game will be in your head, is a far better game than they will ever produce and they know it.

Still more than half a mill is nothing to sniff at. As others have said in this thread, larian do not have the backlog of the w2 p:e and torment kickstarters plus the fucked up the launch. Getting that million would be an awesome comeback.

Live Stream of music now on http://www.twitch.tv/larianstudios#15

 

[Raapys]

Beautiful music.

 

[catfood]

 

[clemens]

Well, that sounds pretty good.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Yeah, Kirill's very good. He is to Divinity what Paul Romero is to Might and Magic.

 

[Jashiin]

Brilliant

 

[Gord]

Hey, the update song on Piano with Kirill singing is actually better than the other version. :D

Yeah, to simply sit and do that was amazing!

 

[Darth Roxor]

Fuck it's over

 

[catfood]

I wish it was longer. That was so good.

 

[Jaesun]

THAT was probably the best live stream for a KS I have seen so far. <3

 

[Jashiin]

The hair

 

[Tolknaz]

That was damn good! Too bad it was so short!

Edit: there's a link for those, that missed it. The concert stats at 4:30

[Darth Roxor]

Well guises you know what must be done now

 

[Stabwound]

There's no way this is hitting $1,000,000 short of divine intervention ( ) but if it doesn't hit the NPC stretch goal it will be a travesty. I don't understand the CRPG fanbase.

 

[evdk]

Is there a recording of the stream? I am on a shitty connection and it just stuttered for me
