KickStarter Double Fine's MASSIVE CHALICE - Released... but nobody cares

[Metro]

Needs to be a new Codex emote.

Gay heroes because they can't or won't produce children

Reminds me of how the homossexuality trait is dealt with in CK2.

Sounds like a neat concept but the name is fucking awful.

Meanwhile at Larian's HQ Sven Vincke feels a huge disturbance of force.

I was thinking 'Incloooooosive!' would be a better dialog choice.

Sure, why not.

THIS THREAD IS AWESOME.

I want the game to be extremely inclusive. We crafted a message about biological sex equality for the FAQ and put it up yesterday evening. But I realize that’s not the whole story!

We haven’t said anything about same sex couples because I’m not sure how it would work yet! But it’s another aspect of being inclusive that I really want to see worked into the game.

If hating on Double Fine was unwarranted before I'm pretty sure it is no longer the case.

Soooooo here we are... almost 10 days in and their pitch hasn't improved at all. They haven't added ANY relevant info about game mechanics other then talking about how they will handle fudge packers in the game...... I swear how these fools are gonna end up getting like 1m+ is beyond me.

Sigh still bummed that Jagged Alliance only got like 350k while even they have a shit load more experience making turn based games.

Um... did you mean 5? Or is addition a bit too tricky for you?

Hold your horses, about an hour ago they said in the comment section that they are working on an update, so probably it will be up soon.

 

[Metro]

They'll get their money and then some. Probably not the mountain they got with the adventure game but that's probably for the best since it'll actually force them to spend wisely.

 

[deuxhero]

There's a can of worms here with menopause vs hero effective age too.

edit: oh wait, no females? How reactionary.

Wait? Really?

That completely ruins the idea on its own. Being able to pair a hunter and sorceress and start a magic knight line is what this game SHOULD be about.

 

[SCO]

No. Not really. Do you expect me to go to their kickstarter page? I'm just playing by ear from reading the thread.

 

[deuxhero]

Oh, ok then.

Reminds me of how the homossexuality trait is dealt with in CK2.

Gay character DO have the potential to be interesting game mechanics (You might get an amazing hero in your starting pool who is gay. Do you use her knowing most of the resources you spend on her will be lost when she retires in exchange for the early advantage? Maybe you could specialize her in creating magic items, which still be around, to reduce the burden? Prehaps you can research baby making magic to make up for it AND use the temptation to lure an enemy's lesbians to you?), but I doubt they'd do it.

He is trolling DF in every Massive Chalice thread from the very beginning, no surprise that he started making up shit. And since I've never seen him before, I think he probably activated this account just to shit on DF's kickstarter. Maybe they touched him on a bad place or killed his dog.

 

[Haba]

Well, frankly the name "Massive Chalice" is a pretty obviously brimming with gay innuendo, so I'm not surprised to see are the fags and fag-enablers swamping the Kickstarter...

Throughout history most homosexuals have lived an more or less normal heterosexual life with a wife and kids. Even today many marries and have kids. so unless we talk about a fantasy world were most homosexuals live openly like that, it wouldn't really be an issue.

Now I wonder what would the inclusion brigade say to forcing the gay characters to sire offspring. The flames would probably reach the heavens.

 

[Cyberarmy]

They reached their initial goal btw.

They reached their initial goal btw.

Now they just have to bump it up threefold so the game is actually funded.

 

[felipepepe]

When you think how great Conquistador turned out to be with just 70k, that 700k goal already seems to be threefolded...

 

[cvv]

Yeah 70k for a rich, expansive RPG is incredible.

But it's Double Fine we're talking about. These guys are so disorganized they can't pull a simple adventure game with the original goal bumped up tenfold.

Just to think what they could had accomplish with 700k :/

 

[felipepepe]

We would get a third campaign +2 classes with +90k, 700k is a insane ammount of money...
