KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Dan Vavra's medieval chad simulator

[PorkyThePaladin]

All I can give you is my personal opinion. After all just a few days ago I talked about that with a friend of mine. In short I agree with you. I would love to see a rise of truly historical KCD-like games. Not necessarily RPGs. An smaller scope AssCreed-like action-y game grounded in reality would suffice in my eyes. Moreover one could say we have the tech, the tools, the basic game systems, and supposedly the know-how to do that. And if we don't do it, others might, robbing us of some unique opportunities in the process.

However the situation is more complicated by the reality of game development and the massive difficulties a production of such a game entails. We didn't spend 5+ years just to eventually find the perfect formulas of what to do and how. Just because we made KCD it doesn't mean we can now conjure up a similar game within a fraction of the time with a fraction of the people. Making a KCD-like side project would mean creating another 80-head team at mininum all similarly or more competent. These people would spend a lot of time learning how to work together and learning all the nuances of the tools, the tech, and the game systems. Not to talk about getting used to the the whole production pipeline. Moreover the creative people would likely be some stubborn bitches and would want to modify the formula significantly which means inventing a lot of new wheels and reinventing some old ones for the needs of this new direction. So in the end the price in terms of time and money would likely not be so significantly lower.

Yeah, I am sure in practice it's a lot more difficult than in theory, which is always the case, but still, I can't help but feel that all the technology Warhorse has developed for KCD and will develop for KCD2 (the engine, the combat system, stealth/other systems, physics/graphics, tools, shared assets, etc) is kinda wasted on just 2 games. If only you guys could convince THQ Nordic to finance a sort of core Warhorse studio to work on that, and then have peripheral studios or sub-studios working on individual projects, each utilizing the core technology. Your Assassin's Creed example is spot on, as this is exactly what Ubisoft does, but of course, unfortunately, they are terrible at it in terms of producing quality content, it's all about quantity over quality. But Warhorse could do it differently, focus on smaller games with better content. If they were managed well, and stuck to using the core tools/technologies (which would improve over time), then I feel like that would lead to massive savings, and let them focus on their specialty (writing, quests, characters, places).

 

[Smejki]

If some team/studio/company contacted you about licensing your tech (your fork of Cryengine, Skald) for their own development of some historical game, would that be possible or is that impossible due to Crytek owning Cryengine?

I agree and one can hope. I would really love to see something in a similar vein.
Maybe something is in the works. Who knows. I certainly cannot say a bit either way.

or is that impossible due to Crytek owning Cryengine?

You just asked if it is impossible for Crytek to want more money for additional/extended license(s).
I mean, I am not ruling that out but...

 

[Paul_cz]

You just asked if it is impossible for Crytek to want more money for additional/extended license(s)

Touche, but I was more wondering if you can license out your heavily modified version of the engine or if they would only license their up-to-date non-warhorse one..I have no idea how that works.

 

[Smejki]

1) You can buy the entire tech and fork off with you own stuff (Amazon did that with their Lumberyard)
2) You can buy (license) access to the entire codebase and full support. Typically all you do should be merged back into the base product. Typically you buy the license to make a specific product (= one game)
3) You can have a limited license. These are all the "free" plans that CryEngine, Unity or Unreal offer. Access to code is limited, support is limited and you share your profits with the tech owner.

Without going into details we're are some version of the second scenario.
It's a big money business so if bigger players are involved you can negotiate any variation in the second case.

I would love to see a rise of truly historical KCD-like games.

MeToo and not just historical. I've always craved present day realistic RPGs. As a fan of Police Quests back in the day the idea of playing an RPG with a cop as a PC gives me a hard on. Or a CIA agent. Or a special forces soldier.

However the relative success of KCD is not a proof of anything. Maybe it heralds a rise of long-term interest in these kinds of games. But maybe it sold so well just as an oddity, filling a novelty-shaped hole in the dreary, been-there-seen-that market of the last few years. Legends of Grimrock sold a million copies too but there was no dawn of mainstream interest in old-school blobbers, it was a one-off. The sequel basically flopped despite being a better game.

Fantasy will always fly off the shelf because muh escapism and power trip but gayms like KCD...dunno man. I sure as fuck hope Warhorse hit a huge deposit of gamer interest but it'll take a few more bull's-eyes like that to be sure.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

The only way KCD can succeed is by correcting their glaring historical mistakes from the first game
namely, the lack of magic. Henry should be a wizard.

Fixed.

Same here.

 

[Sergiu64]

Did you guys ever train Mace? Seems like the training Maces are full on clubs and I ran out of health before even a single skill up during a sparring session with Bernard.

 

[SpaceWizardz]

Anyone who didn't use swords should probably just uninstall.
The game gave you a choice and you made the wrong one.

 

[Paul_cz]

Some footage of upcoming DLC

 

[Sergiu64]

Anyone who didn't use swords should probably just uninstall.
The game gave you a choice and you made the wrong one.

Well I trained sword up already, just seems like a silly weapon to use against armored foes. Plus I figure a knight needs to know how to use more than one weapon type.

 

[Funposter]

Maces completely crush armoured enemies, so they're absolutely worth using. Don't bother training with Bernard, just purchase a half-decent one at a blacksmith and go murder some respawning bandits.

Maces are great, head blows will make short work of even the most heavily armoured enemies.

After they nerfed the damage scaling from stats (back in uh... 1.1 I think), swords became much weaker against armoured enemies.

You used to get crazy amounts of extra damage from your strength.

 

[Paul_cz]

That feeling when you get cucked by developer of a game for posting a box screen of his game

 

[Smejki]

Dude, it's pink! That means it's a leftist propaganda. But no wonder, Warhorse is a PC developer after all.

 

[cvv]

So apparently their biggest DLC is randomly free for KS donors. Um, ookay, I'll take it I guess :D

 

[Smejki]

Not randomly. Doggo and Theresa were always stretch goals. It would be wrong to charge backers for that.
Also there's an additional long quest line. Take that as a bonus thank you for their patience.
And it releases along with patch 1.9 which is bigger than 1.8 (and possibly even 1.7, combined) in terms of fixed and improved stuff.

 

[Zer0wing]

And it releases along with patch 1.9 which is bigger than 1.8 (and possibly even 1.7, combined) in terms of fixed and improved stuff.

Does it bring its own bugs along with DLC?

 

[Paul_cz]

Judging by the release notes this patch should have been marketed as enhanced edition CDP-style

No Ubersampling tho

Yeah that was cute from CDP. But these days supersampling is available in any game via DSR/VSR, I am using it in KCD.

Armed with fortitude and dignity, she faces the coming days with a smile on her lips. And since God moves in mysterious ways, none of us can know the lot we shall have to bear. But it is often those of whom we least expect it who encounter an extraordinary destiny...

In the fourth DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance, you can experience two standalone series of quests.

In "A Woman's Lot", you play as Theresa accompanied by her loyal dog Tinker in a standalone questline. You will experience ordinary life in Skalitz and later witness the fateful events of Sigismund's raid and its aftermath from a wholly different perspective. "A Woman's Lot" provides the last piece of the puzzle in the Skalitz story, as you find out what happened just before Henry is found unconscious.

In "The Madonna of Sasau", Henry has to help Johanka, and old friend from Skalitz who survived the massacre and took refuge in Sasau Monastery, to overcome the terrifying nightmares that have recently plagued her. Henry will need to visit the places revealed in Johanka's visions and find out what’s really behind them. Then he will help her with her new calling. Neither Henry nor Johanka knows what that will demand of them or what end it will ultimately lead to…

Features:

• Two New Questlines
• A Woman's Lot - play as Theresa and explore Skalitz before the attack in a standalone series of quests
• The Madonna of Sasau - major new questline for Henry with multiple endings
• Dog companion for both Henry and Theresa
• New Houndmaster skill
• New items (weapon, shield and potion) and perks to unlock
• New characters and one historical figure to be met and interacted with
