KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Kyl Von Kull]

Wow, I used to know a total lookalike of this girl when we were at university, but she was batshit crazy. :D

The beautiful ones always are.

 

[ArchAngel]

...didn't we hear something similar coming from Numenera?

But Pathfinder is not being made by overpaid, useless americans.

 

[Trashos]

I saw they made sure that "diversity" is in their script, in the trailer that Fargo posted. Can anyone inform how bad the SJWism is in this game? (or if there is any)

 

[ArchAngel]

Did anybody post the MMORPG interview?

This got me excited:

“AM: The game is huge and, as of now, we have close to one million words already written. That is still ongoing and we are not finished yet. We were recently working on the epilogues and over 100 things could happen in this part of the game alone. So, it is still growing but it is pretty big.”

That was a cool article. I also liked how he dodged the question about inclusiveness :D

 

[Thonius]

Well I think they just thought that's what americas want. Negroes and lesbos.

 

[TT1]

Oh I know it's elf from DA2, thought you meant she was somehow involved in Pathfinder like voice acting (then it would be gnome girl for me then, lol)

I think Octavia is a lot cuter

 

[fantadomat]

The larper ones always are.

Fix it for you mate.


Also i had pretty nice dream. Pathfinder was out and i was playing,at some point some woman begun pestering me for sex. Would have been 10/10 dream if there was not a woman in it.

 

[Brancaleone]

All these elf pictures, we need a horror button!

Cannot believe Chris Avellone has prostituted himself into such a malevolent pit of pointed-earness.
I mean, hasn't he even read Pratchett's "Lords and Ladies"?

Like all Sicilians, MCA has cold iron in his blood; the fair folk cannot hurt him. Crivens, lad, he worked with Colin McComb, author of the complete book of elves (really!), and his work was untainted.

Well, the MCA interview-thread seems to suggest a mind like ... like metal. Guess Neanderthal can sleep safe (that is, surrounded with horseshoes).

 

[Fedora Master]

Reminder that Felicia Day is almost 40 and also a mother now.

That is not what interests 'dex, 'Dex needs to know if she is

 

[frajaq]

Whats Avellone's contribution to this game's writing exactly? Or is it still unknown?

 

[Big Wrangle]

I am not the lead writer, I report to the very professional Alexander Komzolov, who has the narrative well in hand.

I'm happy to give you breakdowns of how much I've written/rescripted for the game once I get confirmation on some points.

http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...game-development-hierarchies-and-more.121588/

You play as a Developer Invoker who has been backstabbed by his own boss and chained with an NDA in the dungeons. After you manage to miraculously escape, you team up with some Ruskies Adventurers and prepare to take your revenge upon said boss.


Sorry, should have spoilered that.

There's no reason for concern, MCA has always hated elves (and halflings).

Whats Avellone's contribution to this game's writing exactly? Or is it still unknown?

So right now, my work has been: Revising the story, revising each chapter of the Adventure Path, general feedback, writing the aesthetic/reactive style guides for the game (on-going as new elements appear), and also specc’ing out the technical requirements for dialogue on the design side (for alignment choices, reactivity, etc).

I have also revised a number of written scripts for the game’s vertical slice, and am coordinating with editors in the States to naturalize the English as well. I haven’t altered the structure of the sequences, merely rewritten nodes. While I haven’t done much with the companions yet, that’s actually because I’ve been spending more time on the antagonists in the game and how they interact from chapter to chapter.

He's confirmed to be working on Amiri and Jubilost, but also wanted to work on three other characters.

 

[frajaq]

Cool, I might actually buy the game after all instead of just torrenting it

Sounds like he is doing some writer lead type of job, high level design and coordination. Better than what he did for TToN and other such games.
It is great that Kingmaker team brought in someone of Chris's experience to help them become better at what they do.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Now I'm almost certainly buying this :D

 

[KK1001]

Avellone's talents are wasted doing contract writing for everyone and their mother. He's a cut above almost every other creative in the industry, so he needs to, as much as possible, set the direction for the narrative and write as many characters as possible.

Yeah, he should join Owlcats and work as a permament high-ranking employee, not a contractor.

 

[Ninjerk]

...but can you guys imagine the games our children will get if video game writers are trained by the video game development equivalent of Kwai Chang Caine contines doing God's work?

 

[Infinitron]

Sounds like he is doing some writer lead type of job, high level design and coordination.

A month before release: "Well, actually I only wrote an outline for those characters. Owlcat's designers took over at the beginning of the year. Oh and it was all based on specs that were handed down to me."

Pathfinder: Kingmaker Beta #9 - Old Sycamore

Hey Scoobs, let's leave the Old Sycamore Depths and head up to the Caves (depths are always worse than caves as taught in Dungeon Delving 101, natch). More fun with giant spiders and traps, plus an audience with the kobold chieftain (where we might have told a lie when agreeing to kill the mite queen). Gee, it sure would be sweet to take a rest. Having lots of people on ranged attack is nice. We pick up another companion who seems cool, maybe a little too cool. Right now its the more the merrier, so along she comes.

 

[frajaq]

What difficulty are you playing sstacks ?

Game is looking good after playing PoE 2 and being disappointed in a few elements, only wish the devs would update more...
