A Gothic-like game, just like that?

I was interested when the first gameplay video I saw was obviously played with mouse + keyboard. These previews are just as clearly played with a controller. Speaks volumes.

I'm very much a kb&m guy myself, but honestly those games lend themselves very well for using a controller.
It just works well with the typical Gothic-like controls.

The only issue could be if they decide to make the interface for controllers and then apply the same interface for kb&m.
That's what usually irks me - it makes the UI complete shit for kb&m usage.

They had a failed Kickstarter campaign last month: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/farathan/farathan-rpg-game/

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/farathan/farathan-rpg-game/posts/3149871

What will happen to Farathan?

Dear backers and followers.

As you all probably know Kickstarter is all or nothing. So your cards will not be charged, and we will receive nothing from the sum gathered.

Some of you have already supported us via paypal for which we are very grateful. This update will be about this campaign, do we think it was worth it, what will happen to Farathan and how you can support us and claim your rewards outside of Kickstarter.

Do we think it was worth it?
Despite the failure(that is about to happen) it had a great effect on our recognizability. Tons of support from YouTubers and their fans.

Also, almost every gaming media in Poland and Russia has mentioned our project. You can find many of the articles on our site https://farathan.com

And of course the Steam wishlist that grows every day - showing us that we are on the right path. Reaching 2092 at the moment, I am writing this update.

So it was totally worth it. Everything says we are on the right path, but it was too early to fire a Kickstarter campaign.
What will happen to Farathan?
We never stopped working, while waiting for Kickstarter. Even the dialogues were recorded. The game will appear on december 22, 2021. But if we see it has bugs we will postpone the date.


The new numbers about the game.


1.) The game will have a full english voiceover nontheless - but:

1a) The world game is reduced by 38%

1b) The quest number will be 120-160 quests.

1c) The estimated play time 40-60 hours.

1d) A DLC will be released in which the remaining 38% of the game world will be added. Everyone who buys the game before the DLC Premier will get the DLC for free!

1e) The price of the game will be reduced from 35 to 20 - 25 €


This is the new map after cutting the terrain. Still pretty big.

The pre-alpha tests
They went pretty well. People loved the terrain and the exploration was very rewarding. Of course hundreds of bugs but no one was able to crash the game. Which makes us very happy.

And what is most important many people say they can feel this Gothic vibe.


How you can support us and claim your rewards outside of Kickstarter.
The money will be used to develop the game. Your support will give us more flexibility in fixing things like ugly sounds, creepy graphics or add variety, with new voices.


There are two ways to support us.

If you are from abroad the best way is PayPal

https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QHKX4E2AQXDH2


If you are from Poland

Franciszkańska 15 41-200 Sosnowiec

Tytuł: dotacja


After the donation write an email to us on contact@farathan.com with your Kickstarter nick - we will send the steam keys to you within 24 hours. They are already active able. ( you can add it to your library not play ;) )


So Kickstarter was tons of fun but now we are focusing 100% on the game. We hope "we see" you all in our game at the end of the year :) We wish you happy Holidays and a great life :)


P.S There will be no relaunch of this campaign.

This isn't a knockoff this might actually be plagiarism. Even the textures look like they were stolen from Gothic 2.

Holy crap this is the most unoriginal game I have seen in a while, someone really needs to tell these people that you can't just use these ancient animations in UE4 because it looks terrible. Also, damage number and colourful VFX for simple things like drinking a potion are not Gothic.

You're all laughing now, but when this game gets released, you'll buy it on day 1 and play it and love it, despite all the jank!

I would play any "jank" game over a AAA pseudo RPG all about managing cooldowns and farming gear.
