Thank you muchly!
I promise it won't take 20 years. Not saying anything about 18 or 19, but 20... no.

I subscribed at the whale tier. I expect all Codexers with prestigious taste to do likewise.

To the two fine gentlemen who already decided to support our fight to stay an independent game developer studio, and to show the evil corporations that it can be done differently (OK, ok ... I'll get me coat... )
Anyways. Published the first content on our Patreon page. Something a bit different. Hope you guys like what you see. If not, do let me know.

If that content isn't a hot, steamy striptease, I'm out just as quickly as this guy.

 

[covr]

I will sign up later today, but I have quickly looked at patreon page and it does not show any sshots or gameplay videos. Or links to steam/gog page.
Art and visuals are your strong points, you should be proud of it and bait potential supporters at every step.

Will add to the page more in the next few days. But the page is meant for those that know what we are developinh and want to support us. Don't think there will be a lot of "new" customers signing up to it.
I could be wrong though. As I said - I'm a programmer, not a PR guy

I'm not an expert, but I would say that having a few screens, and links to store pages is essential. You will probably not get many "randoms" to back, but one is better than none.

You probably right
Will update the page in following days.

Be sure to advertise your patreon account on twitter + announcement on steam/gog after you add some new screens to patreon page.

That's the plan.
Just wanted to take things slow, so I can get to grips with the Patreon page (never done this before) - so today I only announced it here.
Will announce it elsewhere in the following days.

study devotion cannot be called piety?

also reading this race description, which stats is about fear resistance? Charisma?

also from my experience there would be only few electric attacks; but shit ton of stuff that could have res to mind and death: like sleep, paralyse, blind, confusion, deaf, ilusion; death touch, drain levels, death ray, terror, curses.


also my "feeling" about stats:
Strength - most important - carry load, damage, chance to break locks
acc,speed,dex - all the same - +hit % for different weapons, initiative
int,study devotion - mana for mages/clerics
vitality - did i say strength is most important? silly me. ofc HP is the only stats that matters.

(char - drop stat. after 2nd dungeon i will be swimming in gold)

Yes, Study devotion will almost 100% sure be called something else for final release version.
Fear resistance is a hidden trait - in this case coming from the Koranum's believe in "good times" after their death

Sir,
I presume there would be a shit ton of creatures (undeads) and spells that cause Fear. Why it is only a hidden perk? Should be part of core mechanic?

Alchemists are dabbling with dark magic in Mystic Land, so their practices are strictly forbidden.
Mich-an-pot is not only for "potion making". It's the ability to understand different crafting recipes and by using them, ability to craft different kind of objects in the "magic pot".
Koranum are great at this - but primarily because their fascination with plants.

At least that's the idea...

There are items that help you with that as well.

(after reading steam discussions) if there are class that will summon pets: which class will focus on summoning animals? or is it like Mage have spells list to learn, and Priest have different diety to choose?

[Fighter, Knight, Ninja, Samurai, Archer, Thief, Mage, Priest, Alchemist, Jester, Pikeman and Bard] - what s so special about Samurai - is he not just a warrior? Also Jester and Bard?

===================

looking at the skill points, i hope there are diminishing returns from investing points. ( putting first point 0->1 is much more beneficial than putting 34 ->35. F.ex. Sword hit chance lvl 1: 10->30%... lvl 45 : 85>86%)

===================
controller... hmmm i want to bash this idea. But i think i was playing wiz7 on a pad ages ago.
