I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this guy doesn't have a slick automated key distribution system. Probably going to be like Staglands with the guy sending out 700 emails by hand. We can wait one more day.

Regardless, it's bad form to put it on Steam before the KS backers can get a hold of it. Should have started the KS backer roll-out earlier as these are the people who's word-of-mouth endorsement are critical to any kind of success. Also, what the heck is wrong with GOG lately...?

Yeah, well, it's not going out on a limb at all to say that the guy is more of a game designer than a savvy marketing guy. That's been pretty firmly established (and I know which I'd rather have!). Let's just hope he turns out to be a good game designer :)

While it's pretty lowkey in terms of graphics, they gave a lot of attention to detail, from seeing all the stuff you equip on your pixel characters and what I've seen from the first dungeon
Battle system seems a bit simplistic, but I haven't done much yet, maybe it gets better later on (and a lot depends on monster and encounter design)
Was attacked by rats in the first dungeon, that brings back memories
Interface is pretty intuitive if you played any RPGs in the past
7 (mostly) generic races, typical classes who pre-configure your skill points (but you can completely customize it if you're inclined to do)
not a lot of skills, but the essential stuff like two-handed, one-handed fighting, defense, lock-picking,etc.

7 races? Cool, I thought it was just 5.

Would love to see a list of all the PC races and skills just so I can daydream about party composition today. But I'll be installing tonight so no big deal.

Okay! Started up the thing. Seems neat, but there are some flunks. Like, you can't move orthogonality with the keyboard.. you can only use the mouse to move during battles..
And you can't remap the keyboard controls. Or the resolution much, either.

Dev says he'll patch these things in.

Right now it's "Generic RPG intro", so it's bound to be somewhat calm. If I run into cool things I'll be sure to report.

Seems like a fun game so far but I already have some issues:

- Movement is too slow. I wish you could have fast snap movement like in the Avernum games.
- No key remapping, wtf
- Quicksaving takes 3 - 4 seconds which is waaaay too much
- There are no hotkeys to quickly select a character (like f1-f4 or smth)

I am beating down rats to a bloody pulp with a steel mug. They leave stains on it.
