Realms of Arkania: Star Trail HD - less shovelware this time?

Austria benefits disproportionally from Germany's economy. It doesn't matter how fucked up Austrian politics is as long as Germany does well. A shitty Austrian developer piggybacking on the success of a German P&P RPG is actually the perfect metaphor.

I'll buy it because I'm a stupid fucking idiot that loves Star Trail even though I know it will be absolute garbage.

In German there is the term "Verschlimmbessern" for what these guys are doing. Something like "improve it to make it worse".

For a hobbyist team, they were quite persistent and even stubborn with the post release development / fixes. I haven't really played the game though, the ugly combat models made it all but impossible and the lack of a coherent art direction didn't really help, even though, they have some assets, like the character portraits, which look quite good. But those make the ugly parts even more noticeable. It looks like Star Trail might improve that a bit, and I hope it will move into tolerable territory, but I kinda doubt it. They have the basics down tech-wise now, so maybe there's more time to "polish" the experience.

I found it on the internet, it must be real. Though I have never seen it before today. It says it's North German only.

Mein Name ist Christian Weinmüllner, ich bin Geschäftsführer und Projektleiter für das Projekt Sternenschweif HD. Da das Kernteam von Crafty Studios nur aus Ronald Haider und mir besteht, habe ich noch ein paar weitere Hüte auf, unter anderem bin ich für die Programmierung zuständig. Natürlich ist das nicht das ganze „Sternenschweif“-Team, neben einer hochmotivierten Truppe von Testern/Moddern/Umsetzungshelfern haben wir auch noch eine Reihe an externen Mitarbeitern, die je nach Bedarf für die Bereiche 2D- und 3D-Design, Programmierung und Leveldesign eingesetzt werden.

Since nobody translated this :

My Name is Christian Weinmüllner, the CEO and Project Lead for Project Startrail HD. Because the core-team of crafty studios is only composed out of Ronald Haider and me, i assume several other positions as well, including programming. Of course, this is not the complete team of Startrail. Next to a highly motivated group of testers / modders / assistants we have multiple external employees, which can be utilized on-demand for 2D / 3D Design, Programming and Leveldesign.

This basically says nothing anybody could already assume. Small team, lots of external and maybe voluntary employees.

I'm not making much progress in BoD. Something about the graphics (more likely the controls and poor translation) literally makes me feel slightly nauseous. I have to stop playing after 20 min. Also, the combat is too simple and there is hardly any dialogue.

I will switch to UnderRail when it is released.

I wish he had utilized them just a bit more...
