KickStarter INSOMNIA: The Ark - dieselpunk sci-fi action-RPG set on a decaying space station

In response to a user who asked this:

The developer replied:

Ipso facto, InSomnia will be released this year.

 

Maybe he plays hockey for the Dorf Infantry team.

 

Only one skill point per level to distribute among 26 skills and 4 attributes with increasing cost?

 

Jesus fuck, I would find it a lot more encouraging if their rationale for a 2018 release date was something other than “we can’t postpone it anymore.” I mean, the correct answer to this question is “yes, it’s almost finished.”

Their honesty here is commendable, but how bad does it have to be for the developer to imply that the game isn’t ready and it’s coming out anyway? Hopefully something just got lost in translation—their English doesn’t usually seem to be that great.

 

Good, unlike UI they haven't completely scrapped RPG mechanics and replaced them with something more dumbed down or should I use their language and say more immersive.

I think that though their English vocabulary is servicable what they lack is thinking in English. They probably wanted to make slight jab on their own behalf and say that they have postponed game so much that they can't do it any more.

Or perhaps game is in shambles and Insomnia is best looking Potemkin village ever. We'll see once it's released if we lean against it (start playing it) will the whole structure collapse.

 

Looks like Skyrim. Gay. Their original art direction for their UI was so much more aesthetic and unique.

 

I backed this almost 4 years ago for $10 - I keep forgetting about it. The art style and concepts were unique, but hopefully I get my $10 worth if\when it releases.

The kickstarter video showed a bunch of outdoor areas, and to my knowledge they haven't ever been shown since. I'll go head and assume the scope of the game was greatly reduced....

 

Did they? i don't remember shit, it was so long ago.

 

Edit: New page here

 

Hmm I bough it trough PayPal year or so ago... how the fuck I can recive my shit?

 

Game's not released yet compadre.

 

Yeah, no info about redeeming backer rewards.

 

Well the signed deal with publisher I believe and changed website... basically all I received after baked (preordered/donated) is a download link to a demo, so I'm kinda worried.

 

They didn't disappear, email/tweet/fb/yt them if you don't believe me.

Steam page. So their publisher is HeroCraft (of King of Dragon Pass remaster, pirate action RPG Tempest, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf):

PoE, of all things.

And for your hmmm:

 

It looks great.

 

wait is the combat Dodge-Roll genre or is it RTwP/

that footage showed Dodge-Roll

 

i tried the free demo back then i liked it. combat is a bit awkward but the atmosphere and other details feels solid. the system doesn't look too bad and quite in depth for an ARPG.

i dunno how will this actually turn tho

 

If I'm not mixing with another game it used to be RTwP but now it's dodge-roll.

 

Dieselpunk, huh? Sounds interesting. Nice to see the "punk genres" other than steam or cyber get some recognition.

 

I thought it had been dumbed down pretty substantially since the demo. I'm still surprised it's even being released. Normally I like to be fabulously optimistic, but my expectations for this are very low.

 

Time to upgrade my rig. Glad I saves some money for that purpose.

 

"The Ark"?

 

The giant ass spacebox the game takes place in.
