Actually you can deduce a few things from this update. The number of locations described in detail, compared to the single Pyrrhenian city (Villenia) described in the previous lore update, suggests that the Kingdom of Cormac is the main setting for the game. Notice that Villenia appears in the attached map - which means it might be the game's world map, or at least a significant portion thereof.

Is it me or the southern shores of "Galtan Sea" look slightly similar to real-world Baltic Sea? More cramped but I can see the Gulf of Riga and "Yny's Dryw" and the peninsula below would be Denmark. Is "Earldom of Glenthearn" the place known for its dangerous hitmen (and a talking horse)?

Info about the next updates:

For this campaign, we are preparing a video about the map editor and dialogue editor (to illustrate how easy you can create your own adventures/campaigns).

Beside that, we plan to release a lot of more concept artworks which show how the visual style for characters and environment objects evolved.

Game looks too amazing not to back, so...

Backed!

I promised myself I wouldn't do any more kickstarters, but damn, I want to see this get off the ground.

Decided to take the plunge and back this.

No joke, this is the first time I have ever backed a video game on Kickstarter. So I really hope it makes it's funding goal and that the game does get delivered.

Decided to back it for 50 Euros or $75 Canadian. I get extra digital stuff and can send in my photo as a base for a random npc, which seems like a weird thing to offer as a reward. I mean what if the backer is Black or Asian? Are they going unslant their eyes and lighten their skin tone for the final portrait?

Not sure why answering that question (just a repost from earlier in the thread) is 'autism'

:philosoraptor:

(but I'm honoured, I'd like more autism ratings tbh as it seems quite a prestigious rating around here)

More races, just adds a lot of work and for what? Better invest in the gameplay.

After Deadfire, I have a hard policy of not backing crowd funded games. This game looks very sympathetic, but not enough to make me do an exception.

Blame Obsidian's "Narrative Designers".

If this was set in Tolkien's middle earth or a historical setting I'd be upset, but this is their fantasy world they can do what they want.

Plus, games like Baldur's Gate had Dynaheir, Valygar, and Yoshimo so I don't know what the fuck this guy is going on about with DnD being predominantly white.

It was released on May 8th 2018...?

Not even just a small amount? :(
I'm reading back in this thread, through the updates, trying to convince myself. The thing is that I've bought too many cats in bags by now, and even very cute KS updates can't make me convinced that the final game will play well.

Barbarians who wear loin cloth never get wedgies.

But why? Are you ashamed of your honor so you have to hide it with loincloth?

I tried to convince myself to back it, but couldn't do it. Boils down to

  • hate the art, especially the backgrounds
  • slow TB animations
  • KS games generally being unplayable on release
I'll just buy the GotY if it comes out.
