I, for one, hope they get many facebook likes.

Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

Brazilian customs works on RNG, there's a chance I won't have to pay it. And luckily, is only on the boxed game itself... still, YOU SEE LARIAN, HOW MUCH I LIKE YOU? Now let me bake bread!Did you already considered the import taxes? If not, your wallet is going to cry.+12 for shipping to huehueland, +20 for another copy of D:OS to co-op with my brother x2 for Brazilian Reais = R$334,00, half a minimum wage.
Do You happen to know if Dragon Commander Collector's Edition will be available in Poland? If not I will go ahead with GOG preorder.
Please, please get DC through the KS campaign (if you are at higher tier than $65 already, you can get a digital copy for additional $40). Every cent counts.
Yeah, I've just noticed the price is the same as at GOG. If I go for digital, I'll just add $40 to my pledge.
EDIT: No, I won't. PayPal pledging does not support add-ons, it seems.

Hopefully their last week on Kickstarter will see people with replenished paychecks after backing other recent projects (Torment, for example). I really hope they reach 1mil.

I think it was a case of bad timing on Larian's part. People are tapped out from the Wasteland 2, Project Eternity and Torment kickstarter. If not financially, then at least mentally. There were so many previous kickstarters to get excited about, that the impact of this game is lessened.
To Larian: please know that you have a lot of dedicated hopeful fans. I personally donated 150 US dollars. By far the most I've given to a kickstarter project. Even if you don't make the 1 million, please consider adding in some of those stretch goal features anyway (within reason of course) or maybe in a future expansion (not DLC).
It'd be interesting to see Larian take a leaf of out of CDP Red's book and gradually improve their product post-release (assuming Original Sin proves to be successful enough to warrant such a move, of course). If it turns out to be unfeasible due to budget constraints or team size, a proper expansion introducing NPC schedules and expanding the scope of the base game would certainly be greatly appreciated by the community.
I'd prefer they moved on to making the next game, which is supposed to be The Grand RPG That Will Trump Them All. There is only so much mileage you can get from improving a non-broken game. It becomes a waste of time eventually (MMOs are the exception)
BTW, ForkTong, have You (as a company) considered releasing Divine Divinity on iOS and/or Android to get another revenue stream? It worked for inXile and their rather mediocre Bard's Tale and Divinity is a much better game.

I'm sure 99% of VTM's audience was absolutely confounded by this news. Still, any publicity is good.
9lives are also going to be visiting Larian Studios next week.
We have considered it, but iOS/Android is pretty tough to predict how well your game is gonna sell. I once saw sales figures of a publisher whose game was in the iOS games top 20 in Germany, and that figure was still abysmal even though "he was in the top 20". There is a big difference between the first five or six places in that list, when it comes to sales and revenue, and the ones that come after.
Also, Div1 was written for PC in 1923 and really abuses all the tricks in the book, and it would be a pain in the ass to port that to another platform. A C++ guru that worked here for five or six years tried porting it to Linux in his spare time, and had to admit defeat, even though he was really hardcore when it came to solving other things...

floppy? More like Babbage analytical engine.
You know you don't have to do the work right? If you don't expect to sell it on linux or whatever, just drop the code somewhere on a github page and it will get ported. Then eventually, once it 'works' Gog could incorporate the new executable (like it happened with the shadier 'NewDark' engine for thief & thief II)
Game is frigging beautiful and i think it would attract some coders.

Wow, and I thought Cleve taking 17 years to release Grimoire was a long time...
The AR/AD divide makes no sense. They are both identified as just different methods of counting years ("We ave switched from AR to AD"), but AR is counting down. WTF?
