are there any BLACKs in this game?

I have it on good authority that there are.

I have it on good authority that if you cultivate enough fascist thoughts, you can kick them in the face.

PURCHASE BEING RECONSIDERED

Better spend money on a EE dev than some degenerate in the west who would make every character a gay black tranny.
I hope they get some EU business grants as well.

Hey, sorry for the delay. Yeah, I think it was cool. We did a three-hour showcase as well and around two dozen people got to play and check out the game's early alpha (same build as at SXSW).

But the two main attractions in Moscow: Today my head almost exploded at the New Tretyakovka. Holy shit is it big or what??! (Also very nice Soviet exhibition, very nice all around)

And after that doozy we met up with the awesome Ice Pick Lodge folks who were cool and showed us their digs. We smoked some cigarettes after and chit-chatted about gamedev in general.

Tomorrow we're flying back to Tallinn.

Somehow, I'm smiling...

This screenshot is a good example of the level of detail we put into our isometric environments. I think this is our new gold standard for interiors really. Also, the green orb there — that’s our version of the classic “?” question marks that comment on the environment in games like Pillars of Eternity.

Will UI elements like these be everpresent, or only appear on mouseover etc.? With such an attractive art style I'm going to want to take a lot of screenshots ... but photoshopping out nonremovable UI elements is a pain in the ass.

 

[Kasparov]

Shush! We have a beautiful UI. As to your butt - I'd consult with your general practitioner...

Flickering UIs would really suck during all that time while you're not hovering your finger over PRNT-SCRN. In theory we might have the screenshot function take a screen that snaps everything that is under the HUD layer (but you'll still get an overlay of our PayPal account) but this would mean that you couldn't take a screen of, say... a dialogue you'd really like to show your friends.

<------- at least one fan would adore this feature. Every game should have it.

but this would mean that you couldn't take a screen of, say... a dialogue you'd really like to show your friends.

Possible solution: PrScr = normal "all layers" screenshot; Shift+PrScr = "artistic" no-UI screenshot.

I can promise you, that you're going to rue the day you asked for this, and would have had our programmers rather fix that gamebreaking bug...

PREVIEWS
"At once a re-invention and a return to the roots of the RPG genre."
RPGCodex

"With a captivating isometric aesthetic, that channels nostalgia in a good way, it has a killer look to match an off-beat premise."
Kotaku UK

"There are so many fresh ideas in the writing, systems, and artwork here that when the creators say “The role playing game is an emergent art form – and we’re set to light it on fire,” you can believe them. It seems like a lot to pull off, but heck, I reckon they can do it."
