So anyway, the devs have made an announcement about it and included a screenshot:

Kill me. Kill me now. I think I'd rather have ASCII over that cutesy BS.

They are trolling, right? I'm not falling for that.

 

[thesheeep]

lmao.

I mean, the environment is fine, but the characters... Hahahaomg!

How come people at the official boards seem to be OK with how incredibly gay the characters look?

Gay colonialist midgets. Perfect idea for some twisted porn, perhaps.

fashioned by the players themselves from basic, non-respawning resources. In other words, there's only a finite number of trees

I don't know why this is supposed to be a good thing... IRL trees respawn pretty easily after all.

Trolling. Has to be.

Why can't we ever have good things?

The developers are gay. And the "lead artist" is a huge fan of Tom of Finland. I do wonder...

I don't necessarily mind a cute art style, but that's just plain ugly. At least the devs have stated that they will continue working on Haven & Hearth, Salem is just a side project.

Hey guys here's a screenshot from my upcoming MMORPG (permanent death, PA setting, you need to form clans/tribes/towns with other players to really be able to survive, etc):

Them screenshots man. I can really see the H.P Lovecraft inspiration behind all of that.

I'd say the influences are pretty obvious.

Sure, because the crowd that would be willing to play a Hardcore Perma-death MMO is the same people that would like to play with cute little gnomes.

 

[Phelot]

FUUUUUUUUCK! New England is like my favorite setting EVAR and I finally get an RPG in it and it's a damn MMO! Sure sure it sounds interesting, but fuck me, I hate MMO's and even when I play them I play them single.

EDIT: Oh wow that screenshot Good grief

In the interview, Jorb mentions Tim Burton as an influence on the game, so GOODBYE LOVECRAFT! IT WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED BUT THEN I

Please tell me that's a joke -- the guy said it was supposed to look gothic with shades of Tim Burton, etc. That looks like the smurfs.

I don't know I think it could be good, it looked better when they turned on night and imagine that and being stalked by a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidebehind , could be pretty creepy. Hopefully the game will mature alot before release and they'll take the criticism about the characters to heart.

Is that... Tree Cam™? Observe your environment from the tops of the trees!

I think I want to have perma-death in if everyone looked like THAT in the screenshot. After everyone dies, I'll kill myself.
