More Rat Diplomacy with Keeng Rat for me. I am moderately intrigued, it better have dwarves though. Or ardanian gnomes.

The only issue is Paradox will probably milk the shit out of it with DLC, again. Also they could makes the planes/other dimensions a bit bigger.

Small problem for those who wait, I bought the whole shebang for about 10 euro a few months after release.
Great buy btw, had a lot of fun with this game.

Problem is I liked the first so much I'd be tempted to D1P.

 

[dehimos]

Warlocks is a gray game. Good mechanics but the evolution of the games not fun.

 

[hoverdog]

I laughed a bit.

 

[Azira]

Wow. That's one crappy trailer.

 

[Metro]

Wait... where is ROYAL ADVISER GUY?!?!?!?!?

 

[Infinitron]

Whisky

I hope this isn't being produced by Joe Fracona or w/e his name is who produced Derpgeonland and Impire. Seems like it might be as the website is trying way too hard to be comedic. They didn't use Royal Adviser guy for Impire which is sort of understandable but there's no reason not to use him for the sequel to Warlock. I will rage so hard!

 

[Hellraiser]

Hextacy good, remove squares from premises.

Eaten by some dragon.

1. Pack Ling ‏@pakoito 9h
   @TheWesterFront modding tools available this time, or DLC-based long term support? Or both (ck, eu)?
   
   
   
2. Fredrik Wester ‏@TheWesterFront 9h
   pakoito Hopefully both

 

[Metro]

pakoito Ask him why they didn't get Royal Adviser guy to do the voiceover for the teaser and DEMAND they use him for the game!

 

[pakoito]

Wester is very open in his communication. Drop him an email or mention and he'll answer for sure.

 

[Metro]

I demanded an answer on Pdox forums! We'll see what the response is~

 

[Metro]

Well apparently it's the same voice actor voicing the trailer just not in the Royal Adviser character. Madness!

Also RIP any chance at Majesty 3:

In short - I don't think it's possible to do in a profitable fashion. This is due to A: The cost of a proper M3 game would be high and B: I think that the audience for a PROPER majesty game is too small for A to be viable.

We'd love to - we love Majesty to death and we've looked at this in twenty different ways but can't make the math the work. Even if just was a break even affair we might consider it.

I hope someone comes to us and convinces us they can make a great Majesty game with a smart budget.

Regards,

Shams

Well, fuck.

EDIT

Someone should tell them about that 'Kickstarter" thing.

 

[Metro]

Not too surprising given how cheap Paradox has become. They can make something like Warlock 2 because it's going to reuse assets from Warlock 1 which reused assets from Majesty 2 so you wipe out a lot of art and animation costs. It does surprise me a little since they pumped out four expansions to Majesty 2 so you'd figure they were making money otherwise they wouldn't have done them. And while the potential market might be small could it be even worse than the market for turds they've pumped out like Dungeonland, Impire, Showdown Effect, etc? If they stopped funding crap like that they'd have their money for Majesty 3.

If you follow Sham's twitter, he has a very critical opinion against Kickstarter.

 

[hoverdog]

Considering how shit Majesty 2 was, I'm not disappointed at all.

Well, sure, it probably hits D-list publishers like Paradox the hardest.
