Can't even spell "heroes".

Nice!
Every new blobber deserves undivided attention.

 

[*-*/\--/\~]

Looks extremely generic so far. ;/

 

[LESS T_T]

Yeah, this seems like a lone developer work probably with pre-made assets. I hope at least the combat is fun.

 

[MpuMngwana]

Neat, seems to be going for Wiz 8-style gameplay. Not enough games do that, so I'm actually a bit intrigued.

 

[User0001]

hope you'll be able to solo it

 

[Darth Canoli]

The UI is really generic but i like the first screenshot, it has a Might & Magic VI / Wizardry 8 feel.
Let's wait for a gameplay video, seems quite interesting so far.

I don't see any mana gauge, please don't use cooldowns ...

Always fun to see how developers avoid using the D&D name in their OGL titles :D

Managing a party of five adventurers better mean allowing the player to create those characters. It's called Fellowship, not developer companionship.

LARP that multi-headed monster!

Aye, just like Temple of Elemental Evil.

Ok, combat is very clearly Wiz8-inspired, which depending on its quantity might not be the best thing. But what concerns me the most is Skyrim's quest compass at the top.

 

[Elex]

2020 the turn based 5e year.

 

[MpuMngwana]

Hopefully the obvious Wiz 8 inspiration means they are also aware of its shortcomings, and a combat speed slider will be included in the final game. This looks way too slow as it is now.

 

[User0001]

With lack of tactical positioning for individual player characters by being forced to move everyone together, the developer needs to think about changing turn order to work jointly for the whole party/enemy the way BG3 will (able to choose who acts first on party turn), so that you more effectively can utilize AoE-spells, range-attacks etc.

ManaJunkie How'd you find that?

google video/pic search for fellowship saga in quotation marks. Viewer mark was 19....

 

[Darth Canoli]

Interesting.
The text box and the font are way too small, the text box during dialogs should be half the screen at least, it's not like we're going to fight while talking to a NPC.
Also, if there's one thing they didn't have to take from wizardry 8, it's picking up items on the floor, auto-loot would be nice ... Specially since the pixel hunting looks closer to Might & Magic VI than wizardry 8 where the bags were bigger.

 

[User0001]

Seriously... moving between 2 to 4 party members out of turn is jank.

with little hope they could make it turn off/on

 

[V_K]

No, what concerns me is that it literally seems to be using Skyrim icons and location discovery UI. I've seen some fake "games" do something like that, so it makes me suspicious.

 

[tindrli]

well we will soon find out
