    Frontiers - Daggerfall-inspired exploration-focused indie RPG

    Fair enough. Yeah I'm shooting for next weekend. (Prepare to see Orbs do something other than stand around!)

    Frontiers - Daggerfall-inspired exploration-focused indie RPG

    I don't advertise it very aggressively. Think fishing line, not dragnet. Once it's closer to finished and bug-free I'll sound the trumpets.

    Frontiers - Daggerfall-inspired exploration-focused indie RPG

    Backers took it really well. But they were prepared for this in advance. I sent out a more personal update about a week before Ryan wrote the one posted above. I knew I'd catch heat for it eventually, though. No matter how you recombine the words: I won't be the one running these projects, or...

    Game News Frontiers Released on Steam Early Access

    You caught me in the middle of a brutal 8-hour profiling session so the time was ripe for honesty blind rage.

    Game News Frontiers Released on Steam Early Access

    Never. The only reason I would consider it is to be rid of Unity's horrible, horrible fps-killing terrain tree bug (you know, the one that every major Unity game with trees has been complaining about since last year, the one that drops 20+fps whenever you turn the camera, not a big deal or...

    Frontiers - Daggerfall-inspired exploration-focused indie RPG

    Haha no worries. Sure I can elaborate. I guess I'd say it's not so much that NPCs don't ask you for things - our NPCs are always asking for things, just like most RPG / adventure games - it's more about where the urgency comes from. Ryan (lead writer) and I would talk a lot about how other...

    Enjoy it while it lasts because it's coming off the instant we launch.

    Frontiers - Daggerfall-inspired exploration-focused indie RPG

    Sure. A few backers are saying that it's just what they'd hoped for, which is great to hear. Some backers are disappointed - they're not saying so outright but it's easy to read. Nothing could live up to what we were hoping for, even with all the qualifications I attached to it, so that's...

    Frontiers - Daggerfall-inspired exploration-focused indie RPG

    Don't count me out just yet. The beta was sent out to a thousand backers or so last month and we're kicking it into shape pretty quick.

    Interview Frontiers Interview at RPGWatch

    "But it might also be because what was initially planned out proved to be a touch off their head, and they had to cut back on it further." This is the case. Even going in with the mindset of 'simple enough to finish with this budget' the sheer amount of work is forcing cuts. I don't want anyone...

    Information Kickstarter Round-up: Frontiers, Unrest, Frozen State, Our Darker Purpose

    RedScum - There will be a hardcore mode where hunger & thirst kill you. I just made a video about some of the survival elements a few days ago, take a look if you're interested. (FYI, it's a campaign video so I think I may refer to stuff from updates you don't have access to.)...

    Fair enough. I hope you'll keep an eye on the project as it progresses.

    Information Kickstarter Round-up: Frontiers, Unrest, Frozen State, Our Darker Purpose

    Hello! Just dropping back in to let folks know that a (clunky, imperfect) PayPal contribution system has been set up over at the FRONTIERS campaign. (Lots of folks have been requesting this so I'm just letting people know it exists. Make sure to read the FAQ before contributing though! It's not...

    Information Kickstarter Round-up: Frontiers, Unrest, Frozen State, Our Darker Purpose

    That's the idea. When you strip everything else away it leaves a huge vaccum that screams to be filled with lore, so that's a major focus. Lore, books, NPC histories and relationships, etc. I'm creating new languages (or rather, I'm working with linguists who is creating them, it's frankly over...

    Sigh. One of these days I'll learn to keep my fat mouth shut. :)
