They just want to attract fat people. Like XXXXXL and more.

They know how big of an influence a single video from Ed123 can have on the sales of a game.

 

[Desiderius]

Wider audience means more games.

 

[The_Mask]

Wider audience means more games.

Technically, a wider audience means less games.

Spoiler

*giggle-snort* You get it? Fat people die faster, so that means they play less games!

 

[Desiderius]

It’s like Diablo uniques with three times the number of item types.

That actually sounds utterly ridiculous.

Only because so many are class/ability specific or supporting all the different weapon types which all do subtly different things. Which is fun.

This means a lot less item switching when changing companions, which is big improvement.

I hope that Ed123 is alright.

So seriously what is a publisher for?

Mainly marketing these days.

 

[Zeriel]

So seriously what is a publisher for?

To take your money.

Mainly marketing these days.

Almost certainly the production and distribution of all the physical crap they put up for the Kickstarter and whatever other physical distribution they might choose to do, assuming that disc copies aren't limited to the Kickstarter backers.
Physical distribution actually requires supply chains, warehousing, etc.

The final beta - sprinting towards the release!

Hello Crusaders,

Less than 2 months are left until Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is released. Are you excited? We are! We are also hard at work fixing bugs, but before the release we want to show you our progress once more! Welcome - The Final Beta test!

If you backed on Kickstarter or pre-ordered at Early Access tier or higher, and activated beta in Steam, it will download the new version automatically. If you haven’t activated your code on Steam yet, you need to get your code for beta in the Digital Download tab on our backer’s portal, and then activate it as a new product in Steam. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous beta works only with Steam and Windows. But when the game is ready, you will be able to select the platform and also play on Mac. If you don’t have Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Early Access, but want to try beta, you can still pre-order it here. If you are not in beta, but want to support us, you can add Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous to your wishlist on Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store. Now let’s see what's new in this version!

The UI keeps evolving!

When you launch the game, you will be able to see the new main menu! Compared to Pathfinder: Kingmaker, it became darker, to reflect the mood of the new game. And a magical mirror will now show you where you stopped before you quit the game the last time.

The crusade interface has also improved, and we’ve fixed various glitches with the UI.

Additionally, you will now get party banter when resting on the global map, and when you are back to your hub (safe location), you will be able to craft there.

More music!

Yes, we keep adding more music into the game! And even some orchestral version will be in the beta this time! To refresh your memory, you can watch this video from back when we recorded them with Baltic Symphony Orchestra.

More voice acting!

We received very positive feedback after the previous stage of beta regarding the voice acting. And we are happy that you liked it so much, because in this version we’ve added even more! Now you will hear your companion and important characters talk during the most important moments in chapters 3 and 4, including the romantic conversations.

Crusade improvements

We keep working on our crusade system. We’ve improved it visually, and added the system of morale, which will stimulate you to keep fighting demons. And for those who don’t feel like dealing with the crusade there is now an option to turn on auto-crusade! It’s new and doesn’t work as well as we plan to make it work, and we will appreciate your bug reports on it, of course!

Bug fixes.

We’ve been fixing the bugs you sent us, and we’ve fixed a lot, but not all. You can read the patch notes here to find out more. Please, if you see a bug, press Alt+B and send us a report about it! It will help us to make the game better, and Iomedae will surely bless you! The game is still in beta, so bugs will probably be something you encounter on your journey. So save often! And into different slots.

Deskari, Lord of Locusts, - now THAT is what we call a critical bug!
That’s all for today! Join our forums and discord server to chat about what you find in beta and to support each other (and us!) during the final months before the release!

Don’t forget that if you have any issues with your pre-order, you can write to team@owlcatgames.com, and we will help.

To arms!

So seriously what is a publisher for?

Publishing in the printing press age traditionally was a combination of financing, advances for authors and such, editing, an extremely essential job with books as it vastly improves the shittyness of authors, printing and distribution.

In the digital age they're mostly doing the first one, investing in development studios.

 

[Salvo]

This game can't come fast enough

No, not necessarily and not in this case. Many self-funded indies will hire a publisher just to take care of marketing & PR tasks for them (producing trailers, contacting the press, etc). This is where you'll encounter small publishers you've never heard of before, such as this Meta.

 

[TumblingTorin]

• Changing alignment to match your Mythic Path no longer breaks classes with alignment restrictions, as you continue to gain powers from your Mythic Path.

What does this mean? Does this mean I can be an Aeon Barbarian or a Lich Paladin?

 

[LannTheStupid]

And in the case of this "Meta" I am not even sure it is a bona fide publisher.

Both Owlcat Games and Meta are registered on Cyprus; so Meta is probably another Moscow office not far away from Owlcat Games, and this "publishing" is created to exploit some Western loopholes I have no idea about.

Which is for the best; a publisher that can ease access to the main source of money, but will not push the development team to premature release is ideal.

Yeah I've been wary of publishers since I've read about the whole ordeal between JoWood and Pyranha Bytes during Gothic 3 development

More money for your game. Less hassle with distribution of physical goods. I don't know.

You need a publisher to have someone to blame if things go south and you can't release a functioning game.

Cleaving Shot didn’t give damage to nearby enemies upon killing a target - fixed.

This is the first time that a patch notes has ever included something I reported.

This is the only one in this notes. I've reported what, one hundred bugs? At least?

Parallel universe.
