I think this does not have much influence on cost. That seems to be a decision that was made for other reasons.

Certainly got my attention. So far, so good.
..it's still a crappy name though.

I'm one of Thorwala's original backers and I heartily endorse this event or product.

Wow, so this looks like it won't suck. Kind of feel bad that I didn't trust him enough to back Thorvalla.

How did you reach that conclusion?

His Thorvalla pitch wasn't great, but also showed that we (as in not only the Codex) no longer trust developers when they say "We have this great idea. Trust Us!", we need them to show something, and by the time Guido showed something in the Thorvalla Kickstarter, it was already doomed. That's why I think his current approach is better. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Kickstarter for Deathfire soon.

I would have appreciated some remarks regarding the clash between the settings' graphics level and the avatar portraits graphic level. Or type if you will.
Looks to me like somebody decided to appeal to the broader masses, but fearing the holy wrath of the Codexian-minded, patched in some retro-looking portrait holders. In a way that is sadly quite evident, let alone rather, illuminating? Of a lack of imagination. A worrying trait for a game designer..
"THAT will convince them. I'm on their side"
That aside, he does seem to have made some progress, was expecting worse, or less per "update" as time went by. Maybe we misunderestimated.

Codex sees pretty screenshots + rehashes of information we already know --> DOESN'T SUCK ANYMORE

Pour moi, i give it a notch or two up merely for --finally-- connecting that horrid title to something i could, could, possibly relate to..

Yes, because i'm the graphics whore and this game is sporting AAA production values. Personally, it's the first time I've read up on anything about this game since it was in pre production vagueness.

Well, it shouldn't be too hard not to fuck up a grid-based dungeon crawler. We'll see.
Not bad, I am positively surprised, after that weird ks of his failed.
The skills remind of roa much, especially the negative ones, always wondered why no other game used something like that - was fun when my greedy dwarf got himself in trouble trying to grab every shiny thing, or the wizard panicking during bettles with undead.

You just challenged fate.
Why do you challenge fate?
Looks interesting, there's always room for more blobbers! 
Man. The Thorvalla KS was really sketchy, and Henkel himself does not inspire trust in me, like at all. He comes across to me as spending way too much time up his own ass. And good god, the schlock factor of Deathfire is already through the roof. Just skimming the web page is like checking out the drawings in a 4th grader's notebook. Look at our first monster! It's a mean dinosaur with spikes for hands!! And some devil horns. Wait, here's a diary entry from the great elven wizard Tessellar! It has a picture of a giant rat with a big spike on its head. I mean, jesus christ. And you know there's no irony behind any of this.
That said, I hope that Deathfire actually gets made. Even ridiculous schlock can be fun to play with a good system, and he has some strong opinions about making gameplay fun and character building interesting. And despite the boilerplate fantasy dungeon look of the screenshots, I don't know, they look good. I could see myself enjoying a game that looked like that. I'm willing to wait and see if he comes through. I'd probably even back a new KS ... as long as he takes a little more care not to present himself as an arrogant dorkweed.

it's elves not elfs, you philistine.
don't know about you, but the title looks pretty ironical to me. not quite as much as "deathfyre" would, but then again that would lack any subtlety whatsoever.

Having read some of his Jason Dark: Ghost Hunter novels (they came as a reward for the Deathfire survey he conducted a while back), I'd say we can certainly expect a pulp-literature-like story, if he is writing it himself.
Not that it is necessarily a bad thing - I can enjoy that, too - it's just what I expect.
Exactly ... it looks like a joke, but ... he's serious. I simultaneously ridicule and respect that.
If I said that, I would have asked myself "Did I just say that?"We can all thank Ubisoft for making the blob crawler popular again.
Retweet to RPS!
To go back to that, it looks like mentioning Vlambeer out of the blue wasn't RPS's fault. Guido has just sent out an email (I asked him to add us on his PR list so we now receive the press emails) -- and it turns out Vlambeer was mentioned as publisher in the original press release. Why would that be? Why, because Guido or his employee just copy-pasted the "free press kit" they found on the web (which incidentally turned out to be Vlambeer's) to use as a template for their own press release, and somehow forgot to delete Vlambeer's name from it.
I wish I was kidding, but I'm not.
