Game News I want to be a Dragon!

This could be kinda fun...hopefully a Dungeon Keeper meets Carmageddon type of game.

That way you could be tyrannical in the 4x way as well as fly smouldering sorties on helpless villagers.

I'm thinking the Dragonslayer (1981) dragon had it pretty good. Get to eat tasty virgin sacrifices and burn villages. And of course the game should include dragon sex for maximum emotional engagement.

 

So... like The I of the Dragon, but worse, then?

 

Someone deleted the textures folder.

 

It looks like an unpolished, rough, stylistically unappealing AARPG version of black&white. With dragons.

Good idea, lame development.
Dodging magickal AA missiles made me facepalm.

 

A Divinity: Dragon Commander clone before Divinity: Dragon Commander is even out?

But it actually looks like it could be fun. The graphics, while basic, aren't looking bad, and the gameplay looks interesting enough.

 

Prosper would never make a mistake like that.

 

Actually it would be trivial to drastically improve IoTD, by cutting most of the content and resources too:

-ditch all the fucking monsters
-ditch all the fucking plot, it's thin veiled pretext to go around burninating stuff anyway
+make three human factions (can be retextures)
+add other AI or human controlled dragons controlling those factions
+give player ability to guide troops movement and erect structures, maybe some resource management limiting it
+let players duke it out with themselves or AI

Blasting shitty, almost abstract monsters is no fun, while the mission where you had to raze a human city was a blast, human cities have more structure to them than insular monster lairs, which yields more interesting havoc and destruction, monsters are also larger and sturdier than humans, which lessens the impact of being a fucking dragon who can reduce a forest to cloud of charred chopsticks in single sneeze and humans are, well, humans, they are attractive target of burnination if only for the sake of pretending you're flying Godzilla who can cast WMD spells.

Oh, add better controls too.

Suddenly IoTD goes from 6/10 to >9000.

As for the topic, I hope the game goes well, but the art direction regarding the structures and particle spam is puke-worthy.
I also like textures and hope that authors look into this novel technology.

 

Just thought how fun would be a game like this in D&D / Dragonlance setting. Kobold slaves, flying with some evil dumbfuck- cleric on the back, things like that.

Goes to show he know what's he talking about, right?

 

Bollocks!

 

Look! It's a X-wing dragon avoiding the Death Star laser turrets magical flame-throwing towers!

 

waiting for the video to buffer on my sunday crappy connection, looking at the first frame, thinking "In a world...", pressing play.... F7U12 close tab

which one of you guys pledged $20 for this?

 

But... can you romance other dragons!?

 

Larian-lite or utter shite? Anyway if you want to fly a dragon around and shoot stuff, play Dragon Strike.

 

see this?

now alter ego it into something like The Guild but with you as a dragon surviving from orphan hatchling to great wyrm scheming for throne of secret dragon conclave and instead of shop management you burn places in varying degrees
maybe even use existing D20 system

as draq might say simulating a dragon's life properly in freeform game is on the same level as simulating actual rpg and no simple matter

I think the dragon train passed by while they were developing this game. I sure am sick of em after Divinity 2.
And 4k isnt that much moneyz anyway, a quick bank loan would solve this problem and they would have money by Tuesday.
Even with my tiny paycheck i can walk into a bank and ask for 40k and tell em ill spend it on hookers and booze. And walk out with the fucking money.

 

Propably it's not that easy when you're an unemployed basement dweller a freelancer.

 

Doesn't matter how it looks, doesn't matter what the devs promise, if they use flexible funding campaigns they are just gunning for your money.
