Game News Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen is now on Kickstarter

[Rpguy]

Party creation and composition is entirely in the hands of the player.

owlcats can learn a thing or two here about game design.

I created and chose composition of all 6 characters in my pathfinder game from level 1, I could even make 10 level 1 characters and switch between them as needed. ( and they all get xp and level up even when out of party )

Noone said you need to take owlcats companions, just like Baldurs gate or Grimoire - you can most of the time ignore them

Donated 88 EUR to RealmSS Beyond.

Since you are going at it, why not up your donation to 1488 and put in a portrait with a fashionable moustache?

Edit: And then Hobgoeblers shittalked the Codex after spending years shilling his old game on it in his own subforum.

Although it seems all is forgiven among fellow Codexians

 

[ArchAngel]

Nah. Their ambition is way out of alignment with the amount of money they're asking for.

Even if they get 5x the ask, there's no way they'll be able to get enough content in for it to be a game I want to play.

From what I have been following, they got the engine and ruleset finished. All they need now is art assets for new areas and to add in quests and other content.

So what's the story about them being nazis?

They caved in to the shrieking hoards of future non-purchasers and busybodies, one of whom is a prominent stain on the already deeply stained RPGWatch, to get our resident cuddly Nazi ejected from the writing team.

Edit: And then Hobgoeblers shittalked the Codex after spending years shilling his old game on it in his own subforum.

I shittalked specific subjects at the Codex. Hobgoeblers is stupid, his name was Goebbels not Goebler.

I know, I've spent all morning cursing myself for getting my amusing insult wrong. But in my defence I had to go to work and can't spend all day being biting and witty on the Codex (present post notwithstanding).

 

[Kev Inkline]

That was arguably the best Kickstarter pitch I've ever seen.

Watched the whole 7+ minute video silently saying wow to myself over and over.

The Kickstarter page itself covered nearly every question and concern I could think of.

Ticked every box for me that can be ticked.

The entire pitch looks to be, finally, exactly what I've been waiting for all these years.

Just please, please make one of the stretch goals a robust and relatively user-friendly campaign/map editor/creator.

(And making it similarly easy to create and implement new art assets would be fantastic, too.)

For what it's worth, godspeed to the developers. I'm sold.

Finally.

This reminds me, the forum is sorely lacking an advertisement plant rating.

That being said, the game itself could well become something like a volkswagen. A quality product, originally conceptualized, well you know by whom.

No wonder he received the boot.

You have to ask the Codex "Wollt ihr das totale RPG?" and then they'll pledge.

 

[cherry blossom]

Or as VD would say, ein voll ausgestattetes RPG.

My concern is that it will be entirely combat driven (which might be ok) with shit encounters (which basically means shit) but still redeemable due to the modding potential. For all the namedropping, I doubt they can get even a resemblance to the greats in writing nd quest design. That unending stack of abilities in the video were all combat abilities. Where is the good stuff that is supposed to hint at the the non-combat make up of the game once the content is in?

Otherwise, the video felt very inviting and relaxing unlike most KS videos.

 

[CyberWhale]

One of the most autistic videos ever with occasionally clever effects, but otherwise a snoozefest.
Game looks interesting, especially the overworld map movement (reminds me of NEO Scavenger).

Still cucks

 

[markec]

I recommend Codexers give more money for this https://rpgcodex.net/campaigns.php?id=22 then to bunch of cucks.

Nah. Their ambition is way out of alignment with the amount of money they're asking for.

From what I have been following, they got the engine and ruleset finished. All they need now is art assets for new areas and to add in quests and other content.

I know, that's the point. Content is where most of the money goes.

 

[Calis]

You totally missed an opportunity there:
"RPG Endlohsung" could have been a thing, coming from you.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Looks great, too bad I don't invest in kickstarters as a rule. Hope it works out for these guys.

 

[Agame]

Is it even possible to make a game like this? Reality is being so cruel in the last few years that I can't imagine this game being even a fraction of what is promoting to be.

Pathfinder has ushered in a new age of Fabulous Optimism, rejoice friend!

What really needs to be a strechgoal is multiclassing.

Excellent reminder. Hey, how about you give 5€ to the kidney for every 50€ you receive for Beyond Realms?

 

[haderlump]

What a novel project! Backed.

New kidney is not gonna help him much.

Collectables! Lol
Anyhow from a world-map snapshot it looks like you can rob caravans. That's incline!

Is it real photos of his house? I don't get all thise complicated family jokes.
