What was up with that video?
We wanted to do something different from the standard documentary style video and not rehash our campaign. Our intention was to poke fun at ourselves and we thought a different style of video would set us apart from other Kickstarters. Well, it certainly set us apart, but not in the way we intended. We understand that if this is the only thing that people see it’s not setting a good first impression. Because of this, we have decided to remove it. And just for the record we are not a bunch of creepers!
What didn’t you show in-game footage?
This was a tough call. We’re already developing Mooncrest on a razor thin budget and we didn’t want to absorb development costs on assets that would most likely just get tossed. Plus, we didn’t want to set expectations for final aesthetics of the game when we would still have many polish phases to go through.
Additionally, Mooncrest was technically already created as Twilight–a mod for Neverwinter Nights by our founder Rick Burton. Not only is Twilight fully playable, it landed Rick a full time job at BioWare, received a lot of critical acclaim, spawned a popular sequel in Midnight, and is still beloved by fans. That’s the blueprint we are working from. A lot of the shortcomings in Twilight will be addressed in Mooncrest since we have over 10 years of feedback available to us and of course we’ll be adding our own flourishes here and there to make a better experience.
If you have a copy of Neverwinter Nights and you want to try Twilight, you can download it for free from The Neverwinter Vault.
No... really? What was up with that video?
Ugh. We know we know. We’re working on creating a new one which is causing delays in updates. We apologize and thank you for your patience. Rest assured, the video has been cast into the fire along with the One Ring.
What is the average air velocity of an unladen swallow?
An African or European swallow?
