Vapourware Seven Dragon Saga - Gold Box spiritual successor from SSI veterans

[LESS T_T]

Huh, so they're updating a "leaked" site without hide it.

High Elf Wizard
Magic holds a favored place in the Empire, and Wizards are respected in war and peace. Spells allow them to control the battlefield, and sweep weaker opponents from the field.

Kralik Pitfighter
Graced with luck, and connected to the spirit world, Kralik embrace danger. The Empire loves its blood sports, and pitfighters are its celebrities. In time, many regain anonymity in the military.

Drakyri Archer
Lovers and betrayers of dragons, hiding beneath the earth, this part-draconic race is at home in the dark. The Archers of this race are feared as dealers of silent, swift death from afar.

I'm pretty sure that wixmultimedia site is just a test site for their real site. I doubt it's meant to be live yet.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

from where did you guys get the artwork? All is see is a countdown on the tsi website

Edit: They only need to remake old games with that art style (and more content of course ) to get my third born as a sacrifice!

 

[Frusciante]

So any idea what kind of crpg this will be? 2d isometric? Blobber?

$ grep "turn based combat" TSI*.txt

That's a poor regex man. P sure you want turn.?based combat.

$grep "turn-based" tsigames/*
index.html: adventurers and maneuver them in detailed, turn-based tactical combat. You

[AbounI]

I can't se all of dem on the site, only four of dem( including the knight dwarf).All of dem have textual description?

edit:
Damned, the Kickstarter "section" is no more.What's happening?

 

[Roguey]

That anatomy is awful.

 

[twincast]

Well, something's anatomically odd about the elf archer, and I don't like how the elf fire mage apparently deliberately restricts her arm movement through clothing accessories, but those are minor details; all in all the art (both style and quality) looks fantastic.

Mine interest is fully piqued now.

My preciousss...

 

[Zed]

I'm surprised that so many codexer get excited by pretty average concept/promo art.

The real game could look like that shitty Ultima remake thingy for all we know.

 

[mastroego]

Well, we only said we like the art.
It was said about PoE too.

As soon as shitty mechanics will be revealed (if that's what's coming) the tune will change.

 

[Magellan]

Is that a toe ring?

Clearly it's a Greater Toe Ring of Frost. +20% cold resistance.

 

[SophosTheWise]

They're definitely not doing interviews before the anouncement (which is not really a clever move seeing as this is a very niche game) but at least they took my questions and promised to answer them as soon as the anouncement is out. Not impressed so far

I wonder if that means races = classes. I don't mind that much, but in that case you may as well just drop races altogether and have the PCs be human instead of provoking questions like "why can't I play a high elf fighter?"

Also, here's the race, class and specialization list:

Specialties are adjectives you add to your class. So your full title would be "Fast Dwarf Knight", or "Necromantic Imperial Wizard".

I did read your post. I simply forgot

P.S. Doesn't mean they're gonna implement it all in the videogame, though - hence my original question.

If this game has old school mechanics, it might be a toe ring that grants full cold immunity... and serves as a hard counter!

I think it's due more to a sigh of relief that "wow, it doesn't look like anime" than to it being "wow, great art assets."

 

[octavius]

It's nice with artwork that don't insult the player's intelligence for a change.

 

[Zombra]

I don't care about the concept art, and I'm a little disheartened to see a list of kewl original races and six types of elves.

In my opinion the best SSI game was Wizard's Crown where the art didn't matter

Check out this sweet box art

and all 8 PCs were (presumably) human. The character creation system was deep yet elegant (with just a few stats but a ton of important skills), the tactical combat was rock-solid even when fighting in wide open spaces, and in general the whole thing was completely unshackled by the failings of D&D. I don't want to see them develop a "fascinating" world with shlocky backstory and a menagerie of dumb races with little abilities to pick from. I don't want a whole new hackwritten world to explore. Just give me a system that allows for dozens of party combinations like WC did, let me build a straightforward team of 8 guys, and set a simple objective for me to start grinding towards. Gold Box games were fun, but Wizard's Crown set the gold standard for party-based tactics.

This board (and what Felipepe says by "Specialties are adjectives you add to your class") makes me realize that the pictures only name races & classes, but no speciality like the "high elf FIRE wizard".Although her picture seems to represent a fire-high elf-wizard, the name of the file doesn't contain her specialty as it's only named high elf wizard.And it's the same for all the characters that are shown

eg:

http://wixmultimedia.com/tsigames/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/High-Elf_wizard.png

I hope the game won't forget the setting of specialty and mage specialty, as it can be an important adjective when you faces ennemies, as it allows players to guess their strength and weakness (assuming "ice" is rightfully opposed to "fire"): is this knight dwarf a defensive or a deadlly one, fast or tactical, etc etc.All of this can affect gameplay (think AI) and combats when it's a matter of turn, tactical & party based

These two images, a Half-elf and a Shade Elf, have no class in its file name. I think left is a Wraith Hunter and right is an Archer.
