In anticipation of the soon-to-come Kickstarter campaign for The Dark Arena module of Knights of the Chalice 2, Pierre Begue has released a trailer showing gameplay from the Augury of Chaos module, which is already finished and will be a backer reward:

the fuck did i just see with that crazy Frenchman at the end?

 

[Farewell into the night]

Game looks dope <3

edit: Pierre look dope too <3

 

[Tigranes]

Even a Dark Overlord cleverly disguised as a crazy French developer needs to read off his notes pasted above the webcam every few seconds

 

[Farewell into the night]

I watched it 3 times already. It's so good!

 

[Taurist]

Blew all the budget in VA work it seems. Will any kickstarter crpg avoid this fate?

 

[Dungeon Lord]

A very enjoyable trailer!

 

[Dorateen]

Because I love turn-based party based RPGs
I love Dungeons and Dragons

That's a damn solid platform to run a campaign on.

I think the art style is a decline from KOTC 1.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Isn't Pierre living in the UK?

I think the art style is a decline from KOTC 1.

It is. The developer admitted it himself. I have to say the game does not look graphically appealing at all, and will probably lose some customers because of that. I find the lack of melee animations and the inability to differentiate between player characters and monsters really frustrating.

But hey I have waited for this game for a long time, in the end gameplay is more important to me than the above and I am going to support, buy and play it for sure.

Ketchum, Idaho.

People can sperg whatever the fuck they want about the tokens, but this really looks great. That hostage situation with the options at ~2:00 (including the troll-teleport) already shows that it's gonna be much more than KotC 1.

Please stop misrepresenting the issue, these UI elements have nothing to do with the tokens and they're absolutely repugnant:

What's all the ??? for?

 

[Bruma Hobo]

Some unexpected Dark Disciples vibes, I don't mind that, but if puzzles and other non-combat activities become important, I then also expect some better character customization optiones (some new classes at the very least), since the first game barely qualifies as an RPG.

Still, I believe in Pierre.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

I then also expect some better character customization optiones (some new classes at the very least),

Barbarian, Bard, Bishop, Champion, Cleric, Death Knight, Druid, Fighter, Gladiator, Mage Knight, Monk, Paladin, Psionicist, Psychic Healer, Psychic Warrior, Ranger, Rogue, Samurai, Sorcerer, Storm Warrior, Warlock, Wizard are the available classes.

 

[Rivmusique]

fucking hell dialogue options for years. Hope the KS goes well, looks great.

 

[Mortmal]

Mechanically everything is done right, trailer gameplay is impressive, something i'd like to play. If first Kickstarter goal is replace all the art, ill certainly back it.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

. If first Kickstarter goal is replace all the art, ill certainly back it.

Mods will fix it.

I can't imagine anyone who wasn't already *adamant* about buying this thing watching the trailer and coming out of it as "Woah, looks dope! My excitement is through the roof! Nothing gets me more hyped than five minutes of circles with numbers on top, an UI made with Microsoft Paint and midi-quality sound effects".

He made it pretty clear in the interview that he is not going to do that.

Would you be interested in buying an used car or a piece of property DR? I have a few "fixer-uppers" with great potential!
