Development Info Realms Beyond Kickstarter Update #20: Reactive Dialogues and New Screenshots

[Grotesque]

When talking about IE games, you talk about real time with pause combat and nothing more.

And I thought the iso perspective was that other thing. Oh well.

this is the game that was copied from a visual point of view after mid '90s.
So if we talk about isometric only, let's call all those games Crusader games.

Ok, ok, but you are nitpicking here. After all, afaik all IE games had that perspective in common, didn't they? And Realms Beyond certainly must remind you of those games. Plus, I also mentioned the authors being inspired by IE games, so it's not all about gfx.

Well, when I first saw screenshots, it reminded me of Divine Divinity 1.

toee combat, wizardry classes, sounds like witchery

What's the connection between this and IE games that you call it an IE game?

Nostalgia

 

[Elephantman]

They have cute screens (though different hues for light sources would be nice, play with saturation etc). I hope they also have great ambient sound.
Image waltzing though those locations with some shitty tune or in dead silence.

I never truly enjoyed any IE game, but something is telling me, this will be the first. I backed the KS so hard, my wallet visibly winced, when I pulled out the $$$.

I think the main inspiration is TOEE as opposed to the IE games which is a good thing imo

UNBELIEVABLE! FEMALE PRONOUN! TEXTS MUST ONLY BE ADDRESSED TO MALES

*They used sometimes "he" and sometimes "she". The PC can be either anyway

You are right. That mean they are half-forgiven, and I only whip them and nothing more.

 

[Thonius]

Eh I think devs told in Discord that they don't support multi-classing, but support prestige classes how the heck they will implement one without another is a mystery.

You are right. That mean they are half-forgiven, an I only whip them and nothing more.

They went for boobies angle here.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

So they have this POWERFUL scripting system that allows checking for global variables. Mind = blown.

Seriously though, the update makes it sound a bit as if the scripting system was an amazing technical achievement in itself, opening up new possibilities in reactivity.

How reactive the game will turn out to be depends entirely how much time, creativity and effort they are willing to put into this. Each of those little scenarios has to be designed, written, implemented and debugged by hand.

We will see.

This and Underrail expansion are literally the only RPGs I look forward too

Okay I dove down their blog and found both good and bad things...

Character UI and inventory need some work...

They wen't for the same shit like Pathfinder, not sure how I feel about that... UI looks terrific here though

Happy they aren't going the Honk Honk! route but use an actual color palette instead...

Loving the detailed environments and rustic interface

Lore dumps like these are everywhere though....

... and original ideas such as "The Cataclysm"

Finally I spotted this potentially huge piece of Incline I know some of us will love (Lilura)

Where are the waifus

Full resperc to people like you, who look for details.

... and original ideas such as "The Cataclysm"

It's now how original idea is, it's about how well it implemented.

 

[Morality Games]

Where are the waifus

Character creation.

Spoiler

A playful poke at the sentiment of making a waifu at character creation, not a reflection of my own desires

 

[Valky]

I just got this reply from them:

I'm trying really hard to not like this game but things like this are trying really hard to stop me.

 

[AbounI]

Seeing there was a new post makes me come while thinking there was a new update, what a disappointment

 

[Grunker]

Looks good, sounds good, will be shit.

new codex tagline right there
