awesome

Wow, that was boring. They got lots of work to turn that into something people will want to actually play.
aRPG play without anything that makes aRPG exciting. WOW, just WOW

 

[SirSingAlot]

huh? maybe i am pleased easily when it comes to small hairy people, but from a very early alpha footage i dont expect much more tbh.
like they just showed the basics and thats about it.
the physics based combat seems ambitious, but lets see if they manage to really screw it up.

i always had a sympathy for RTS where u controlled some heroes to derp around with without having to focus on economy, unit recruitment or whatever stands between my heroes, em abilities and the enemy.

That look on the dwarf's face is priceless.

Elf: This game is going to be such a disappointment.
Dwarf: I know, bro...

The KS will finish in about 30 minutes. They need about 6k more for their first stretch goal (315k), but it doesn't look like they will make it.

 

[SirSingAlot]

got there.

now we will get "All Female party" stretch goal, awesome

The stretch goal survey is over. Coop came in second, winner is "new character & quest".

The survey about which Stretch Goal we should realize is over and we have a clear winner!

49,7% - "New Character & Quest"
23,9% - "Coop Pack"
16,9% - "Music"
9,4% - "Game Modes"
In the vote for the additional language Spanish (12,9%) was a tight winner over French (12,6%), followed by Russian (6,9%).

We’re attempting to find partners in as many territories as possible, so that we can possibly offer additional language versions. Maybe we’ll also offer a localization kit for fans, so that they can create additional language versions. We’ll see in the next months.

During the coming weeks we’ll consult with Markus about how to approach the new quest and the new character, and then get to work!

New campaign map demo and a few new locations in a German only stream. Game scenes start at 2:30.

They released a first Alpha with 2 hours of gameplay to the higher tier backers before Christmas. There was an NDA for it. With the next Alpha 2, Screenshots and videos will be allowed.

The "Orcs killed" meter though...

 

[vonAchdorf]

A few new screenshots:

I wonder if the weather / fire will have effects on the physics / combat or if it's just cosmetic.

 

[Tigranes]

dat fuckin bloom

Looks alright otherwise, always love heavy rain even if just cosmetic.

Looks bad, even worse than Grim Dawn Forever. I imagine seeing it move will be even worse.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Now in motion:

 

[Agesilaus]

Urgh, a 3d graphics engine? Fuck that. Not playing, ever.

0:56 - hey, this huge 2H axe weighs nothing at all!

The game looks nice but don't forget that it's Unity. I'm not sure that Unity can actually handle such crowds very well.

Some gameplay video (German):

The music reminds me of:



I mean, it's the same music, isn't it? DEAR GOD.



...Other that that, looks good.
