Codex is the early release beta tester for their countdown

It just doesn't feel the same without paying for it

Update

We just got a press release that's a copy of this. Oh, and a link to some higher res versions of the art. Maybe I'll post it later.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah I just saw that. Good to know they ARE aware of us. Considering we have one of the largest(?) group of SSI fans on the internet (Gold Box and the tactical games).

The timer now says 16 hours. Did Cleve design this launch?

EDIT: Now the timer is 0. Probably just "technical difficulties". Reminds me of my old job when we would launch a new website, and then something went wrong. My Boss would flip out heh

I know they want to revive the Gold-Box standard, but if they keep messing up, we'll be looking at "Brown-Box" at best.

Some publicity coming their way: http://www.incgamers.com/2014/09/seven-dragon-saga-aims-to-be-a-modern-gold-box-rpg

Also USGamer's Jeremy Parish mentioned them in his last week's Goldbox retrospective. Hopefully USGamer will mention them again once they do the proper reveal thing.

I'm really curious who it is that will cover them, apart from the Codex, the Watch, and the Banshee.

Hopefully Kotaku, Eurogamer, IGN etc... get wind of this and at least mention it.

Don't forget RPGFrance too.This is where I got the news mentionning what I told at the opening of this thread.

Dragon's Lair (french site too) will also cover this project.

This project will surely be covered by Canard PC too

It seems the secret site is now re opened, slighty different, but nothing really new.Existing post of the forum have been deleted too

However, the most noticeable thing is that no more it is mentionned about "anime style"

Yes. We. Want. Zombies.

Yes. We. Want. Zombies.

Sadly, zombies ARE more original in CRPGs than dragons.
Says much about CRPGs, doesn't it ?

Dragon Commander

 

[Infinitron]

There's also that series of games that has the word "Dragon" in it its title

Not actually that prominent in the game, but it kind of grates on you

 

[Dorateen]

I suspect the Dragons here will play a subtle, background role similar to the dragon gods of Might & Magic Legacy.

 

[Tramboi]

last game where dragons were prominent? skyrim..?

"Last" is not the issue. The sheer quantity is...
Is it too much to ask for a bit of originality in a niche game ?

(Last games I played with dragons were probably Divinity 2 and Dragon Commander)

 

[Crooked Bee]

I find the word "SaGa" in the title more important, since it's probably my favorite JRPG series (other than SMT)

 

[Tramboi]

Wot ?! So this "Saga" word is not copyrighted by King ?

Actually, it seems the forum is in a hidden state.Take a look at th dashboard of this WordPress blog, and you'll see there are 2 topics, 9 users but 0 forums.

Forums is only disabled, but I won't be surprise if they decide to delete what was posted there

Hopefully they'll fix that typo while they're at it.

 

[Infinitron]

Their site has stopped working again. Something is changing.

 

[m_s0]

It redirects to the countdown now. Probably something they should've done at the very beginning, and not right before the Kickstarter is supposed to launch when everyone interested in the project has already had ample time to look at everything.
