KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

Tokens look better.

 

[Jinn]

Tokens might fit the background style better, but I still think that looks much better than the tokens.

 

[MRY]

It seems like the game's visuals and logic were constructed around the token system; I'm not really sure how this can work -- although I share Jinn's view that sprites are more inviting than tokens, at least to someone who grew up on sprites.

An eight character party with KotC sprites looks gorgeous. Is that a lich in the party?

 

[SausageInYourFace]

If its so easy to simply replace the tokens with sprites then why did he decide to use tokens in the first place? Visual clarity or something?

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

Because it matches the style of D&D board games.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Oh! Had no idea that sprites would be an option in the new KoTC. This is great!

Please remember which thread you're posting in and stop expecting logical explanations.

From what i remember :

• He wanted to expand the bestiary and character classes and didn't have the resources to do it with sprites, it was about animations too.
• Now everyone hates the tokens, he offered to change it through a kickstarter goal.
• These are a placeholder (sprites from KotC)

Nothing illogical about it, sprites are cRPG roots, after all ...

 

[Dorateen]

If the token/sprites can be swapped out easily, I might just replace them with Gold Box style combat icons.

The kickstarter page is finally updated with the estimated release dates. Until now it sat on December 2019. It now reads March 2020 on the Champion Tier which includes the game.
Other tiers were also updated, the digital book and dark arena are set to September 2021, The forces of chaos for May 2022 ,The heart of evil for January 2023.

No new announcements yet, but I guess he is going to open the kickstarter at the start of February. ( It is still on a draft. )

Right alongside the new Pathfinder kickstarter...

Did anyone expect Pierre fucking Begue to pick a good date for his Kickstarter campaign?

lol

 

[getter77]

Also the Trese Bros KS if memory serves---With Luck, it will be a rising tides lift all ships sort of deal as has happened at least here and there across the years on KS.

My guess is its some close friend or girlfriend who did that "art" so its very touchy for him to replace it. that or just being self destructive. After all last Kickstarter date was supposed to be at same time as BG3 annoucement , now at pathfinder 2 , there's a certain logic into that.

 

[Mortmal]

And once again pierre if you are reading, token are not the problem ,they are fine in roll 20 and FG2 i use them all the time, the shitty artstyle used is. No need of sprites.

The reality is he likes eating roots

TB vs RTWP, it's the easiest choice in the world to choose KotC2 if you have limited budget.

 

[Abu Antar]

They should all give shout outs to each other.

 

[felipepepe]

LOOK FOR IT IN FEBRUARY!

 

[Dorateen]

In the end, Pierre is going to say screw kickstarter and put KotC2 for sale for USD 30 on his website. In ten years, he will upload it to steam.

 

[V_K]

In ten years, he will upload it to steam.

But only if they accept his new prosperous strategy game.

Kickstarter moved to March to not overlap with Pathfinder.
