KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Infinitron]

We've hit $500 already. Excellent.

DarkUnderlord Raise the goal to $1000 (or higher if we've reached a high enough sum by the time you see this)

Shouldn't the campaign be stickied on the front page?

There's nothing to sticky yet.

RPG Codex copywriters must first write a text of appropriate quality, when it gets approved by RPG Codex corporates, only then it gets posted.

You know all Pathfinder rules are available online for free, right?

This will take my mind of Grimoire!

 

[Grunker]

I spent many a night clicking around on that page. It's like wikipedia for dorks

Just heard about this, should I care?

Just heard about this, should I care?

RTwP, as close adaption to Pathfinder (D&D 3.75) rules as possible, MCA writing, Golarion setting (banalshitboring), combat so far looks (no way to tell really) like IE games, but animation speed slowed down. Novelty mechanic is that you have your own kingdom to manage. Developer are dubious ruskies, but the leads have their P&P merits in order.

Depending on what that means for you, maybe?

 

[Grunker]

Oh and the character sheets look dope

 

[Quantomas]

Hmm, Obsidian's latest Deadfire update today didn't do a shout out to Pathfinder: Kingmaker. As if they fear rivalry for the genre they love.

Another stream of the demo done by mmorpg.com and nicely commented: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpanIlrLqM0

And not to forget, the latest and possibly last KS update before the campaign ends shows some excellent character art. Maybe something to look at for the Codexers who disavowed the art previously.

I remember hearing something about Mail.ru kicking Obsidian out from their tank MMO now when they are no longer useful, just like Ubisoft did with South Park. Probably butthurt about that.

Now on YouTube:

Everything looks great except for environments. Environments are so fucking bland.

It's called a "vertical slice". It might (will) change.

The equipment's design is realistic and functional

Wayne Reynolds' designs are realistic and well thought-through, which is represented in class-specific details such as adventurer belts that other gear is attached to.

There's a holding bag or a sheath for everything

Yes, all weapons and combat items come with scabbards or sheaths, all consumables, be it potions or crossbow bolts, have their own pouches and cases that can be attached to the belt.

complain about graphics in an alpha vertical slice, fam

The 900k are well within reach, if not on KS then after the campaign. I don't like Pathfinder but their campaign and offering turned out quite solid.

It's not about textures or fidelity so much as style and art direction. There appears to be none. But that's Pathfinder for you.

Pathfinder and Golarian aesthetics are complete and utter shit, news @ 11

 

[Jenkem]

and 90% of the RPGs that the codex covets are your typical milquetoast middle ages settings with "lore" stolen from folklore or mythology, so I'm not seeing the point of contention.

[Jimmious]

I love how the combat is slow and methodical so that you can actually keep track of what the hell is going on and react. Love it.

 

[Dorateen]

Just heard about this, should I care?

I heard that if enough people make enough noise, the developers might include full party creation as an option.

 

[archaen]

Not like we are going to reach it but I am pretty sure the next goal after 1 million is the HellKnight prestige class which would be interesting. I wonder if they would keep killing a devil in front of a Hellknight entry requirement.

 

[Grunker]

They are doing prestige classes? I thought we only got base classes

 

[archaen]

I think they said there were two prestige classes already in. I would have to look back and check though.
