Vapourware Aledorn (formerly Dungeons of Aledorn) - Realms of Arkania-like RPG

[Zombra]

Couldn't they have called it Aledorn Dungeons instead? It has such an unfortunate acronym this way.

 

[Davaris]

"RPG game"? Are they Codexers?

 

[Apexeon]

They are busy playing Skyrim.

 

[Shannow]

It's...it's like somebody actually listened to me all those years

Spoiler

But the name is clearly influenced by

Too bad that they'll probably not gonna make it because prestigious magazines hate them and don't put them in news posts. Obviously they don't want good indy RPGs to be made.

 

[Somberlain]

Looks good but could they have possibly chosen a more generic name for their game?

 

[MicoSelva]

Yeah, 'Aledorn' alone would have been so much better.

Also, tech demo is available for download, in case someone missed it.

 

[Zed]

I'll be sending them some questions. Let me know (ITT) if you have anything you'd want to ask.

 

[MicoSelva]

Please ask them about the scope of the game. I do not mean hours of play, but approximate number of NPCs, enemy types, item variety, etc.

 

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

There are really 12 of them? And they are based in the same town... maybe I should ask if they need any help, it looks cool.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

If the battle map is gonna be generated from the fpp view, will it be possible to arrange your party in marching order and/or formations?

 

[Darkzone]

WTF! They have a tech demo and perhaps a working prototype and then they missed the most important thing besides this: advertisment at the RPG sites.

 

[Morkar Left]

And I would back but I just remembered that KS doesn't support PayPal and I don't have a credit card. Derp.

There's still time for good decisions by getting a cc and repel the evil that is paypal.

DRM-free? Steam only?

How much playtime they are expecting?

How long is the game already in development?

Did they make a game before?

Cool beard!

 

[karnak]

I asked them yesterday if the game would be DRM-free. Still got no reply.
But I think they'd be crazy not to sell a DRM-free version.

Here's your brofist for Alestorm.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Looks really cool. Why not run a news item about it?

 

[Xathrodox86]

Look exciting! I can't wait.

Same here. Looks really good!

Ask them about combat injuries. Are auto healed after combat or if there are long term consequences of combat injuries.

 

[Infinitron]

Yeah, this looks great. Newspost worthy, IMO. Infinitron Crooked Bee

What do you mean "thread". Make a news post. That's what you signed up for, isn't it? FFS.

All right all right http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...krondor-and-arkania-now-on-kickstarter.97701/

 

[DarKPenguiN]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm- As much as I am beginning to abhor Kickstarter- This one seems like its done right. And $9? I suppose I can do without a Big mac meal today and maybe pledge on this one.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

So the tech demo is basically two combat scenarios, one aboard a ship vs. pirates, and the other in a cave versus skeletons.

The pirate one was pretty easy, especially because you have a mage who can freeze opponents for a couple of turns and another mage with fireball AoE, you also had a rogue and a fighter type.
There don't seem to be Attacks of a port unity implemented yet, but flanking, counterattacking and backstabbing are in. And yes, the battle field is within the same exploration area.

So, not much to go on really, but it looks okay.

Hi guys,
I will try to answer some of your questions.
Q: DRM-free? Steam only?
We get many questions about DRM and whether our game is going to be DRM free. Frankly, we have to admit we are not sure at this moment. We are planning to use Steam on open platforms, so the game will be using Steam default copy protection mechanics. Other options including GOG.com are being considered but can't be confirmed as of yet.
Q: If the battle map is gonna be generated from the fpp view, will it be possible to arrange your party in marching order and/or formations?
You will have a special GUI in which you set location of each characters.

Thx for support

I'm wondering about character creation. The video implies that you have a premade party and can tweak their stats a bit if you want and that's it. Is there full creation? Can I make a party of six female dwarf druids with six different hairstyles?

Nope. In the creation your party you will generate five characters and each class is permitted only 2x (for better gameplay). What hairstyles and cosmetics at all the different characters are concerned, both will play a big role in the success / failure to KS.

To be honest I think you should really consider a DRM-free release.
Otherwise you risk alienating many a potential customer (me included; I don't use Steam).
