Hey, we were killing brown people and stealing their shit, for years, before Spain wanted in on the racket.

They had an alpha for backers. It played like an alpha. Most features weren't implemented yet.

It looked nice though.

They put out a backer alpha 2.0 which had implemented character progression through skill trees as well as a camp management system that lets you send your guys out to hunt, guard and craft stuff.

Afaik, you never visit the old world in the actual game.

 

[Avonaeon]

Yeah, it's set on Hispaniola and in Mexico in 1518, so no Portuguese unfortunately.
And our character progression is not really skill trees. It's more of a promotion system where you choose a passive ability and get a few skill points to assign to non-combat skills, which tie in with the camp management.

Wow, totally forgot about this game! Can't wait to try it out!!

Sounds good, will you guys release a demo?

Excellent news, a day one purchase for me.

Most likely not, sorry.

Backer here.

One thing that keeps worrying me is the trees in alpha. The colour is somewhat off and they obstruct the view. You should have road outlines that are rendered through/over trees because you lose track of the road for no apparent reason and then have to wrestle with camera.

It would also be nice if the cursor path could somehow "snap" into the road (as it is faster to travel on roads, right?) so you don't have to move in 2-3 grid distances to stay on the road. Maybe add a modifier key for the snapping, eg. when you are on the road, hold down CTRL or SHIFT so wherever the cursor is, the pathfinding sticks only to the roads.

Other than that, I love the game as it already is. But there are bugs which I haven't bothered to report. Perhaps I should but I figured others would have done so already.

No demo, no buy.

The more I read about this game the more awesome it sounds.

Scared about your sales getting cut in half, huh?

 

[Rpgsaurus Rex]

The modern notion of a demo is piratebay.se

 

[Kaldurenik]

What kind of game is this?

 

[tuluse]

What kind of game is this?

Sort of like Heroes of Might and Magic with a historical setting.

I would say Expeditions has far more rpg traits than that; calling it Storm of Zehir-like with resource management and turn-based combat would probably be a more apt comparison.

 

[Kaldurenik]

Sounds good i will keep a eye on this.

 

[Avonaeon]

It was more of a, "don't know if we'll have time to do it". We've since talked it over, and we'll see what we can do, but I can't make any promises. Fingers crossed though, as we realize it could help win over some people.

 

[tuluse]

Avonaeon he's just ribbing you a little because of this story: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...a-game-demo-can-cut-your-sales-in-half.80467/

 

[Avonaeon]

Ahh, I see

But just to be clear, I think if you don't make shitty games, demos are definitely worthwhile

Part 2 is up.

 

[Tolknaz]

I'm glad i backed this one. Too bad, that you couldn't get the stretch goals during the kickstarter, but let's hope the game sells enough to warrant a proper oldschool behemoth of an expansion with that third campaign you guys talked about and more.

 

[ironyuri]

I did not back the kickstarter, but rest assured you've earned yourself a customer here.

Good luck with the lead-up to release.

Ps. Going to name my character Don Lope de Aguirre. OH SHI-
