Damn. Sombody beat me to the $1000.

You'd have loved the Great Barrier Reef in beautiful tropical Qeensland too... :smug:

(well, now that the waters of the greatest flood in the country's history have subsided).

Ok, it's not really an RPG but a roguelike
Since when are roguelikes not RPGs?

Was trying to preempt the OMG NOT AN RPG messages.

You can call it whatever you want, really :smug:

So, are you going to tell us a little about why your game will be worth playing?


if you like roguelikes, but don't like unorthodox and/or arcane interfaces or overly steep learning curves, you might enjoy playing Cardinal Quest.

It is designed to throw you into the interesting parts right off the bat & has a significantly faster pace than many roguelikes (albeit remaining turn based).

If you enjoyed games such as DoomRL or Desktop Dungeons I think you might enjoy Cardinal Quest.

You mean because you have graphics? Desktop Dungeons is a puzzle game.

What roguelike would it be most similar to? Are you going for the massive world kind of game with quests etc like ADOM, for the insanely complicated + spoilerific Nethack style, for the tactical + balance driven style of DCSS, for the simplicity of Rogue itself (ie a game like POWDER), or for something else?

DoomRL.

The magic system is in the process of being reworked & the new version was inspired by DD's rune-based system.

The wizard reminds me of Orco from He-Man.

Interestingly enough, you are not the first person to mention that :?

I like how there is no finished or nearly finished projects on that site. They all just want money to 'work on the projects'.

Depending on your definitions, I would say my game is not far from "nearly complete".

That is the point of the site tho - why would you need funding for a complete game?

Are you going to charge money for your game once it is complete?

web version will be free on portals.

Desktop & mobile versions would not be free but you get a free copy of both for all platforms if you pledge $5 or more.

Saying 0 $1,000 pledges? Previous one pull out?

Nope, still there- there is a bug on 8btifunding that doesn't display it. The sum total still includes the $1000 tho.

Are there financial penalties for not finishing the game, or simply making a really really horrible game instead of what was promised? Or is this system more akin to throwing money in a wishing well?
