I'll leave this here.

Never been this hyped for a game, just raised my patreon pledge.

 

[anvi]

I am more excited for this game than probably any other game. That was an outstanding video.

It comforting to know that sometime in the next couple of years, on a cold winter night yet to come, I will be curled up all warm and cozy in my den, with the lights turned way down, a fire crackling nearby, and all of Call of Saregnar ahead of me.

 

[Mustawd]

Wow, very impressive!!

 

[Rhuantavan]

Thank you bros, means a lot!

Here you go, I just didn’t make it public before, as compared to Vimeo the quality sucks a bit.

I forget if this has been asked before, but are there any NPCs wandering outside Might&Magic style that you can click and have a conversation with (and not just enemies)?

I'm not 100% on this one yet. The enemies will wander around a bit (in a limited area), but for NPCs I still have to decide if it's bringing enough to the table for the extra work involved. I would certainly like to have them, so it's quite possible I'll get around to it sometime. I imagine there will be a need to meet certain NPCs in the overworld at some point. *ramble ramble*

Looks great! I like how you tweaked a bit the actor sprites and now they mesh nicely with the surroundings.

 

[garren]

I don't mind if there's not any NPC models in the overworld, heck in town I think it might be preferable for just everyone to be inside houses, makes finding people more easy. I just think that BaK had two problems with the overworld NPCs, first is that you can't see them, they just suddenly intercept you in an area you walk past, and if you need to find them again, you need to leave and enter the general area again. Kinda janky, and I never liked that they were "invisible" and just appeared out of nowhere. Second, you can't walk past an NPC area without them interrupting you, even if you don't want to talk to them. I think some sort of solution would be preferable to that, and the first thing that comes to mind is them just standing there as a model you can click and talk to if you want. Just put them in an obvious spot.

Of course, they can and should interrupt you at certain points as you walk past them if the plot demands it, just not all the time.

All of this assuming that you'll have overworld NPC's of course.

I'm playing BAK right now and from what I'm seeing the combat system is already massively improved by using hexes instead of shitty squares. Enemies squeezing in between my characters to get to casters and blocking mages by standing on the diagonally connected square are driving me nuts.

Thanks, those took oh-so-much tweaking to make them blend in.

I agree 100% with you here.

Yup, the transition to hexes solves many issues over the original.

Thanks bro, they'll be put to good use.

Is this a sandbox game?

 

[curry]

Okay, so no answer. I guess this game was vaporware after all.

 

[Farewell young Prince into the night]

I suppose you could have answered your own question by first answering, "Is Betrayal at Krondor a sandbox game?"

 

[Rhuantavan]

I thought ratings counted as answers.
