Menckenstein: Yeah, I unfortunately have a name that's common as hell there were 4 Chris' in my high school class of 30
Excommunicator: The characters were rendered individually for show purposes when I was first presenting them, why the lighting is a little off in comparison with each other and the background. Nice catch!
laclongquan: There will be lots of monsters running around. As far as the mods, a lot of people have asked for it since Kickstarter started, so I'm looking into it.
Luzur: Read the Excommunicator response.
Mother Russia: There are classes, just not levels. At the moment the Released classes are the Monk, Warrior and Alchemist. :: Each character uses 4 skills and if you want you can make your damage spells ultra mega powerful, if you wish to neglect other skills. The limiting factor is memorization, you have X skills to use while adventuring / in a dungeon before you run out and have to either go back to town or find a refresh shrine (which will be rare). :: As far as feats or talents, you could say there's something like that.
A really quick breakdown:
Each character has 4 skills, each of these skills are extremely customize-able. The skills essentially work on a grid system, so lets say you have a monk that has a heal. Every monk starts out with a base heal, you'll then be able to upgrade it through your choices throughout the game adding group healing, armor buffs, damage buffs, status cure, increased capacity, more heals per dungeon etc... depending on what you group needs. At the same time there isn't' a cost penalty for upgrading. This eliminates redundancy so you have 1 skill instead of 6 similar skills and it gives you the freedom to build your skills around what your characters and group need. While it still needs a little balancing so far in testing it's been super fun for people.
Every character has a house, what you put into and add on to the house determines how the characters train. This means say you archery range, your character will focus on his or her ranged damage abilities, making their ranged attacks more powerful throughout the game.
And finally the trait system. This is probably more traditional like your talent system. As you go through the game you'll have the opportunity to pick traits, earn them as well as be given them. What they essentially do are flat percentage buffs for the most part at this point (although some are unique modifiers). So the trait of the tank would give hp, the trait of the thief would give dex and speed etc...
I hope that clears things up a bit. As far as the release date, December 2013 with Kickstarter.
JarlFrank: Always! Just private message me or email me at
christopherjtaylor@live.com and we can figure something out.
mote: She was the prototype human / monk. She used to be extremely scantily clad in that thing, public outcry happened and there was an overhaul made! Thanks for the kudos though
Thanks everyone for great questions / responses I really appreciate it. If you have anymore I'll try my best to answer them as quickly as I can.
