KickStarter Serpent in the Staglands Thread

[Zombra]

Other indies are in the same boat yet check out their peaks

So you're saying every game's all-time peak always occurs in the first 24 hours?

Either that or the first Sunday that I've noticed.

 

[Zombra]

Hm, fair enough.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

To be fair, although I'm sure this game won't have a substantial peak, it's apparently too buggy to play at the moment and many people are waiting for patches - not sure the concurrent player figure means much right now.

 

[evdk]

Yikes, even compared to other indie RPGs the day one concurrent players for this thing is bad. Looks like pixel art is a pretty big deterrent when it comes to wrpgs (Pierre Begue could have told them all about it).

Pixel art is a pretty big deterrent in every genre except special-unique-snowflake-indie-not-fun-games.

 

[Dyskolos]

So, being too lazy to read through the last few pages in full, is the general consensus toward waiting for bug fixes before playing through?

I'll be vacationing through June and was hoping to burn through this over the weekend and early next week, but I'd rather just wait until July if they need more time for bug fixes.

 

[Bubbles]

It's impossible to leave the starter area right now, so yes, the consensus is to wait for a patch.

 

[DeepOcean]

Hard to people to care about pixel art when they don't even know the game exist right? Outside the codex, nobody knows about this game and I hardly believe they making it on shitty 3d would make things better.

While they aren't pixel art games, I think most clueless RPG gamers would classify all of them on the shitty graphix category no matter what. Well, if it is pixels or not, Serpents is more obscure than obscure codexian RPGs right now. Maybe when they fix the bugs and people see if the game is great maybe word of mouth will help it but right now even this thread is moving really slow for a new codexian appealing RPG and is mostly a bug report thread.

Eh steam isn't really helping it much either, had to turn off a lot of things to see the game in the main front page banner, at least it is among the popular new releases, I think Battle Brothers was relegated to page 2 there despite selling better than everything on page 1.

 

[The Fish]

They just released a patch so you can leave the starting area.

 

[Gozma]

I think they shoulda advertised harder that it's a BG/IE clone, 'cause it looked so much like Darklands I assumed it was gonna be menus with a "battlescape"

They always said it was BG/Darklands, not just Darklands.

 

[Bubbles]

I don't think they lost many sales to people going "Oh damn, looks like a Darklands clone!"

Oh look, the sunshine is out again.

 

[Fry]

Why are they insisting on using their own patching system? Odd.

They got one. <it is me>

 

[ArchAngel]

I already complain on Steam that GoG version needs GoG updates not whatever system is (not) working from their site.

We need a GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE animated gif.

8 trolls out of 10.

10 out of ten if you make all 3 word blink 1 or 2 times before looping.

And I just found another similar bug in the rumin ruin. My game is probably already completely ruined, so i explored a bit , obviously there lot of testing to be done, lot...

This looks pretty cool. Does anyone know if this is kinda similar to Ultima VII. The combat seems a little similar.

 

[AetherVagrant]

at a glance yes, it is like ultima 7 + anyother90isometrichere.
writing and reactivity is NOT reminiscent. for both better and worse. but you dont have to be an avatar sucking jesus cock all the time. i think Garriot was a Gideon.
Darklands-Cums on-Baldurs Gate- Cums on Ultima 6. best way to describe it with only one facial.

 

[Jools]

Pixel art is a pretty big deterrent in every genre except special-unique-snowflake-indie-not-fun-games.

My avatar begs to differ. Also, Gemini Rue. Also, loads of other recent pixel games.

Last, urmom is not-fun. But I would.

I too got a lot of Ultima VII(/VIII) vibes from it. :fap:
