[Rahdulan]

I, I...

 

[Urthor]

It's a namechange in beta, it's the next Disco Elysium guaranteed!

 

[ArchAngel]

You know what hasn't been tried yet?

...

Spoiler

Changing the name of the game.

...just sayin'

I will send you a link for next national lottery, please pick the numbers for me..

The game might be fun to play, but it looks like looking inside a long forgotten moldy trashcan with batches of unknown life creeping around.

 

[overly excitable young man]

Just like ur moms cunt then.

 

[Mortmal]

Think the artstyle is the best they had so far, i cant wait for the next one .Just checked if i had beta, and read estimated delivery for the game march 2017

 

[hello friend]

Still looks good tbh, just sad when you think of what could have been.

 

[cb.spike]

WTF?!? This is the wildest kickstarter ride I have been a part of. Those two....motherfucer...I can´t.

 

[Alienman]

Soooo, what kind of games is this now?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Soooo, what kind of games is this now?

All of them

I´m super confused. Now it looks like main character is being followed by squad of 9? NPCs. In one the last more detailed updates they called it a dungeon crawler and that would fit escape story presented in new trailer.

I don't get the direction anymore. I wanted a cyberpunk RPG. Are we still getting that or something more akin to an action game in terms of presentation? I don't like the sound of "high octane".

 

[Sensuki]

The video reminded me a little bit of Syndicate

 

[Kalin]

Perhaps there is no wasted effort... ALL of the different art styles and combat/dialogue systems displayed to date could be featured in the final game to reflect alterations like character development and gradual progression through different stages of cybernetic augmentation.

This is like the star citizen money scam, but with neither scammers nor money involved.

I could be wrong, but that sounds like a marketing gimmick to make a turn-based game seem attractive to gamers who want something exciting (roguelikes can be plenty exciting imo). "Simultaneous turn-based tactical combat" (as in classic roguelikes) appeals to me, but I'm likely an outlier.

I guess I prefer 'Copper Dreams' to 'Mechajammer', but whatever (deja vu!!! but usually this feeling accompanies graphical changes)

Mechajammer sounds like a guitar hero style game featuring Japanese schoolgirls piloting giant robots.

H&J: if you reading this, please note that this is not a suggestion to alter your game's theme! I think we have mapped the creative landscape pretty throughoutly already...

 

[Hoaxmetal]

In before an announcement of moving to a new engine.

Roguelike combat is also ok, better than having to wait out dumb, overlong animations. What about other RPG mechanics, though? Are we going to have non-combat skills?

The character sheet on the web page includes chemistry, social, burglary and hacking as skills. Personally, I'm happy if the core systems are focused on combat or combat-related activities (again, as in most classic roguelikes, except maybe CDDA). If this game basically ends up being a pretty looking classic roguelike with vertical movement, then I say great. It's generally hard to implement vertical movement in roguelikes, and their combination of 2D sprites with 3D environments looks like a viable workaround.

Every which way but loose.

everything in the video looks pretty great tbh. Even the sound design is good. I was pretty much giving up on this game, but now I think I might want to get into the beta to try it (after I punish myself with KotC2, which I'm waiting to download until today's patch gets released)

 

[Maculo]

Wat.

Spoiler

I think it might already be released.

A nod to Spelljammer? (Or cooler, Windjammers. )
