Community Let's raise $1500 for Codexian monsters + NPC + island + dungeon/item in Serpent in the Staglands

[Crooked Bee]

On RPG Codex, drama engages in you.

 

[veryalien]

Well, I don't want to make more drama but just keep in mind "Dawn_" could be a mentally ill 13 year old and you guys are sticking her handle on a badge. Seems petty and irresponsible.

But I guess it's the Codex right?

Seems petty and irresponsible.

You say this as if it's a bad thing.

 

[veryalien]

When you're raising pledges, yeah I guess it's a bad thing.

 

[Zeriel]

It's a well established fact that the Codex spews out big clusters of money when assholery is involved. Our biggest contributions were during the Divinity: Original Sin campaign and pretty much all due to our petty and irresponsible desire to beat the RPGWatch in $$$.

 

[veryalien]

Honestly, it's a two person team so I don't expect them to go the extra mile with modding support at launch. I reckon, if they're successful they could justify it post release.

 

[tindrli]

well we could always make

PENETROLLOSAURUS

 

[Crane]

Alright, donated $15. Maybe we could have another contest about designing a the questline & NPC to go along with the codexian demons.

 

[MicoSelva]

I've chipped in $15, for codexian glory and also to get a copy of the game cheap, because amazon payments hates my guts.

Could be could be, but there is no monster like PENETROLLOSAURUS!!!!

[Koschey]

Ahaha, those guys. IIRC, they were even fittingly called Hoden (testicles in German)

 

[tindrli]

make it with codex troll head and paint it in red and its a win

More glory to Codexia?

 

[Crooked Bee]

If we make it to $1500, at least, I can try to negotiate some kind of more extensive reward, like maybe a questline or something. I'll need to discuss that with the devs - we wouldn't wish to strain their limited resources too much. Perhaps our NPC and/or island could be made more significant to the story, or our monster race(s) more ubiquitous or dangerous.

For $2000 we could get WHOA SO MUCH CONTENT

Let's get there first, though.

 

[cherry blossom]

Or how about, they implement a TB mode at $2000?

 

[veryalien]

Everyone and their cousin is doing TB like it's 1999 again.

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

I don't mind a little variety. Just make it goood.

 

[Menckenstein]

No.

New $1500 stretch goal! It's either a location/dungeon/quest for the NPC or a Mega Item (also with a quest involved), or smth like that:

We noticed that you awesome folks have surpassed your previous goal’s mark and raised it! We wanted to throw out some ideas for some additional content if you’re interested for your next goal!

So as of now you all can create 1 or 2 monsters — spirits or animal/creatures — or theme an island if we make the expansion goal. You also get an NPC with minions. I thought it would be interesting to elaborate on these for an extra goal, instead of just a simple quest to kill or do something for them. Here are some options we thought of that would be awesome additions, but we’d love to hear your ideas too!

Location/Dungeon for NPC

Even if we don’t get the island expansion (though I think we’re well on our way), I think it would be awesome if you wanted to expand on your NPC/Monster(s) to be included into one of the larger side-quests. We can collaborate on Aptitude-oriented branching paths, narrative ones, and involve some other basic NPCs to flesh it out. You can choose an area to make it happen in and lay it out if you’d like (or design the island and have it there instead of just theme it). We can go more in-depth on what could be involved on your end and determine what kind level the area/quest is.

Mega Item

The player can get an awesome item from the NPC that does something crazy. Teleports them like a Myst linking book to somewhere else on Vol, turns into a potential party member, or opens the gate to the Codexian sanctuary. Some cursed box, a chalice, a golden sword, anything you can think of that can have a story/quest revolved around it.​

Currently we're at $1,234/$1,500, with about 4 days left.

 

[groke]

Hah. They should have set the reward at $2000, we're going to end up with a Codex Continent at this rate.

 

[Angthoron]

GodFUCKINGdamnit, my wallet, what are you doing to it, Bee? This sort of wallet rape is only reserved for wives.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Hey, how come the Codex is throwing a "Let's raise" for this?
It looks comperatively garbage to stuff like Antharion from some time back, and I don't recall that one getting a Codex feature.
