After seeing the demo they released months ago it really spiked my scamstarter meter. You think the kraut government would help make this happen if they made that mediocre game elex happen.

It's funny , some day at the beggining i linked something from the trove on the discord , an old PDF for D&D, and they jumped at my throat that they were so against piracy and some guy proudly linked drivethrurpg. Now what i see is they are not working on it , delivered a buggy combat demo to the poor souls who paid higher tier, and basically stole me money... Such moral highground now. I can understand what went wrong with chaos chronicle and their "evil" publisher , they are just bunch of wanker unable to deliver. Solasta guys could, even pierre begue all alone could deliver, and those games are likely even more complex .I doubt anyone will take any risks with them anymore.

The German government recently announced during Gamescom 2020 that there would be a €40 million budget that would be used to help German game developers with their projects. I was 100% certain that these guys would apply for some of that money. I think they already got money at an earlier date, but it shouldn't mean that they can try again.

My guess would be they applied for it earlier, got it, squandered it and therefore are ineligible to apply it.

If you develop a game in a first world country and work from even a modest office you need approximately 10k a month per person on your team. Shit goes fast.

If they have no team actively working on the game then it's dead! Literally no publisher on this planets even talks with you these days if you have don't have a full team and the money to pay them!

How can you squander all kickstarter money and a grant from the government? That's some next level shit right there.

I'm sitting on a project that is four years late and 2 million euros over budget.

And it it is waaaaaaaaaaaay less complex technically than any cRPG.

If anything, any budget they've had has been fabulously optimistic.

If you can afford a 4 year delay and 2 million euro over budget, you aren't in the same category as these devs.

Someone should update the title, for a few seconds I forget this game is dead and then a whole new flood of disappointment comes in...
