KickStarter The Wayward Realms - upcoming Daggerfall-like RPG from original Elder Scrolls developers - coming to Kickstarter

[Thor Kaufman]

And write he did

 

[Butter]

Holy shit! If you look at his monitor (behind the bird) it looks like they've finally started developing an asset for this game.

 

[Bulo]

A stone archway? In a fantasy setting? Yawn. Show me something new, Ted, like a storehouse made of steam—perhaps the place where a crafty conjuror stows his vapour wares.

Spoiler

cute bird though

 

[Bester]

It's a stone throne. The archway is just a reference for the material.

 

[Gastrick]

The grand moment we are still waiting for is when Julian writes his first few lines of code. The modders(they make the assets), Ted and the music writer actually were doing their jobs. That's why it's a hunt to attain a copy of them for when the project finally collapses.

 

[Butter]

Don't hold your breath for anything worthwhile.

they confirmed wereboars.

 

[agris]

damn those nips are huge

 

[Butter]

They start talking about Wayward Realms around 1:25:40.

 

[HarveyBirdman]

Is Daggerfall successor back on the menu? I thought it was dead.

 

[TheDiceMustRoll]

interviews arent gameplay videos and hard release dates.

Pig snouts!

Guys this isn't vaporware- the game is real and it's just going to be a bunch of Q&A sessions in dialog boxes.

 

[Alienman]

Going by the SJW way of thinking...

4. "Black."

 

[Gastrick]

5. "Gay with giant tits"

 

[Wysardry]

6. "Spelt with a 'c' not a 'k'."

This new race looks like it could sell a million RPG products.




Behold the fabric phobic race of Cambions in Wayward Realms!

What if Morrowind shipped with nudity?

Incredible marketing!

I actually reckon me and the lads have gotten a bit further than the Wayward Realms folks in less time. Maybe I'll show some stuff in a bit.

Daggerfall Spiritual Successor Project (Artists Needed!)

The call for artists was a success. The amount of fan art created for this conceptual RPG elevator pitch game continues to fill a twitter feed.

Anyone active in their, ahem, discord server?

Feel free to disagree but I think it's a better idea to design some core gameplay loops. Impliment them, and then start thinking about art. I can get the artists to make art around gameplay mechanics quite easily but it is much harder to have some art done and ask a programer/designer "make the game around this idea I had"

Put up or shut up basically, Wayward Realms.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

actually having gameplay to show would require more effort than posting on social media and using discord

Funnily enough I've seen game devs manage all three. They get a lot of buzz from showing, you know, gameplay.

You need both, just not at the final quality or even the final assets. To implement the gameplay mechanics you need to have assets that are both functionally and visually (if you squint hard enough) similar to what will be used, otherwise you're going to end up making mechanics that may not work properly with the assets artists end up making - and at the same time you need to give the artists good specs for the assets they'll make which you can only do if you put your mechanics in action with some assets to see what is actually needed.

There is no "you do this first, then once it is done, you do that" (with "this" and "that" being either art or programming), you need to work at both in parallel.

Obviously for that you need both an artist and a programmer (yes a programmer can probably -though not always, i've seen some horrors- make "programmer art" but his time is better spent writing code and with the artist doing the initial art he'll also know why and how it'll be used by the game/engine and communicate that to other artists that may join later).

Of course that doesn't mean you need all the artists and all the programmers right at the start. A single artist is usually enough both to work with the programmer and to make reusable placeholder art for later use.
