[Siel]

Here goes the info from the kickstarter page :

Prodigy is a turn-based tactical RPG featuring high quality figurines for PC.
The player manipulates magical objects to fight epic multiplayer battles and follow a heroic solo campaign.
Prodigy's gameplay focuses on squad-based combat on a physical board for deep-thinking and fast paced 1v1 fights.

At first sounds like Skylanders od Disney Infinity.

Why the fuck does something like this come to Kickstarter? They quite obviously have a huge financial backing already. It also looks fucking shit and OP is a faggot for posting this.

Proof of concept and feedback from paying audience?

Anyone who gives them money is beyond retarded

That pitch video is like a Scientology propaganda video.

What purpose do the figurines have, other than for driving up the game price and for physical copy protection?

Also, the technology for recognizing chess pieces on an electronic board has been around since 1992. See here and here.

That pitch video is like a Scientology propaganda video.

That pitch video is like a Scientology propaganda video.

Considering Scientology is the only reason Tom Cruise divorced his several wives, It is nearly a compliment.

I can't watch it cuz there's a faggot in it.

This looks like 90s style DRM disguised as a gimmick. I don't see any appeal to this.

 

[GlutenBurger]

Where's the RPG, though? I see CCG and miniature wargame (squad game, really) influences, and I see a confident rapist-who-gets-away-with-it (perhaps tastefully) spokesperson, but not a single RPG element.

If I wanted to play magic the gathering, I would go down to the faggot shop and play it. GTFO

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

Until 3D printing becomes affordable and can bypass this overpriced DRM, nothxbye.

 

[Ebonsword]

I'm sure that this will be about as successful as Ex Illis.

 

[Severian Silk]

Meh. More stuff to hide so when people come over they don't think I'm a loser.
