I backed for $275. I didn't play the alpha because it didn't run properly.
They already explained why they had to change the name of the project : "Umbra" is already under copyright :Why did they rename it? "Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem" sounds like generic Eastern ARPG shovelware No. 599, now with a colon.
So why did we change names ?
Copyright reasons, simple as that. Turns out Umbra is already taken and our Game Director Daniel Dolui had to come up with a new name.
But don’t worry, the theme of the Umbra will still be present throughout the game and its lore. As an example, Umbral damage is an elemental type and a category of spells, and some enemies will have resistance against it.
I'm going to assume that the name 'umbra' was already copyrighted to hell.Why did they rename it? "Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem" sounds like generic Eastern ARPG shovelware No. 599, now with a colon.
I dunno, they wanted the name to fit how the game looks, perhaps?Why did they rename it? "Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem" sounds like generic Eastern ARPG shovelware No. 599, now with a colon.
Ah, so that's why got some tickle behind my head, it was that project. I no longer received updates on moddb and forgot about it. It's Crytek engine iirc?That's the new name for the Umbra project.
How are you enjoying Grim Dawn, btw? I purchased it last tuesday and have been playing it a lot. It's pretty fun.Ah, so that's why got some tickle behind my head, it was that project.

Will try it, maybe when Grim Dawn start boring me.
