KickStarter Mooncrest, an INCLUSIVE new action RPG from ex-Bioware devs - Cancelled

[Mary Sue Leigh]

There's already some of me in the picture thread. Now stop derailing this one!

 

[a Goat]

And I'd really like to see the typical audience for this kind of game as this Moon-Crud is gonna be try their hand at actual Dark Souls combat. I bet they'd get crushed by the Asylum demon and then proceed to cry in a corner about how unfair the world is.

Dark Souls inspired combat = little slower than usual with ex-aggregated enemy attack animations you have to dodge.

Strange there is no mention of Paladin abilities, like spells, lay on hands, etc.

Also, lezbian romance lol

EDIT - don't know why I even bother to read anymore

Not a really convincing pitch, even if you ignore the forced "inclusive" stuff.

• Mooncrest sounds like a JRPG name.
• The streetwise chick looks creepy.
• "Story of Sisterhood" – I wonder who much "Sistahood" will be in there
• It is interesting that they ramble about their Bioware credentials and 5 AAA games, but then say things like: "Instead of playing with an array of shallow companions" – so what now?
• A paladin and a rogue who challenges the strict believes of the former, now that's a really fresh idea no one ever had
• Instead of good and evil / dark and light side when now have "Discipline and Compassion" meters, which could be interesting because it's "grey side and gray side", but I doubt that they will make something out of it
• Also for a small tea's first effort, they sound really ambitious. Dark Soul's combat (balanced for two characters), interesting adventure like puzzles, character driven story with "cinematic conversations"

It will be interesting to see if a Kickstarter pitch based on "Dark Souls combat with BW characters and story" will be successful.

I kinda despise female protagonists

IMO there should be more RPGs with predefined female protagonists so there can be parity with the likes of Torment, Deus Ex, Gothic, and Witcher. Howeverrrrrrrrrr, not trash like Venetica, Blackguards 2, and this thing.

Roguey Who are your favorite female protagonists?

Roguey Who are your favorite female protagonists?

Chell from Portal, Iji (pronounced ee-gee) from Iji, Red from Transistor, Heather from Silent Hill 3, Jennifer from Clock Tower, Rin from Tenchu: Fatal Shadows.

Chell from Portal

Barely seen and less heard

Nobody asks me, but I'll answer anyway.
In games I can't remember anyone. ))
If not protagonists (which I understand as "main character"), then it is definitely Annah-of-the-shadows and Fall-From-Grace, and... nothing more.

Though one wonders why they had to leave Bioware to pitch a game that is basically the distilled essence of what Bioware does.

Because they will pocket all the money from sales instead of a measly paycheck.

Well obviously they are going be from this school:

Barely seen and less heard

She has as much character as The Freeman. Rebellious and clever, possibly brain damaged (jumped when told to speak, has weird attachment to a cube with a heart on it).

 

[Maschtervoz]

I swear "souls-like" is well on its way towards dethroning "online sandbox crafting survival" as the most obnoxious fad every uninspired hack tries his hand at in hopes of making a quick buck.

At least the details about the story are comedy gold. Not even expecting anything in this department from Bioware rejects of all people, but generic pure idealist paired up with edgy outcast, most probably ending up in an inclusive lesbian romance, presented as a cinematic experience with insufferable "snarky" dialogue? This shit is sonic fancomic tier of

I, no, We demand nude pics from any Codex claimed to be female!!!

Pics or GTFO.

We already had full frontal shemale nude pics of forum members here, do we really need more?

Not an RPG

But what is an RPG

Not "Mooncrest", that's for sure.

But it has swords and stuff.

And CINEMATIC CONVERSATIONS!!!

So premade characters? Is this what "character driven" means?

So players will be locked as women? eh i want the choice.

 

[Mary Sue Leigh]

Come ooooon, Venetica was awfu- err.. aweSOME!
Second only to Demonicon, the best one there is. Or as I like to call it, Super Incest Quest.

It seems this Mooncrest is the newest version of a 2014 steam's greenliht project : Paladin Trilogy Twilight, which could be, according to twiter a modern version of an old NWN mod : Rick's Twlight Trilogy,



So basically, an enhanced version of a NWN mod which was also unfinished

 

[ArchAngel]

Twilight? Really? :D

 

[pippin]

I'm just going to make some popcorn, brb

This reads like someone's RPG Maker project.

Also, "so the day has finally come, (name). It's time for you to start your (whatever) trials" has got to be the most boring way to start an RPG.

To be fair it does slightly edge out starting out the story with a gathering in the local inn.

fixed for ye.

 

[Morality Games]

Hard to imagine a game that serves me less, but best of luck to them. Maybe some Bioware fans can be persuaded to try a Souls-like.
