Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind - King of Dragon Pass spiritual successor

[Alfgart]

Some good, some bad news.

I’m disappointed that we aren’t done yet, but I think the project is in good shape. As a complex bit of software that’s in alpha, the number of bugs feels reasonable. And one playtester wrote, “I have been spending waaaaay too much time playing this game. I am every bit as addicted to it as I was to KoDP the first time it was released, and I thought I was over that kind of behavior.”

 

[Merlkir]

It does play very similarly. Which reminds me I haven't tested the game in some time. Might have to download the latest build and see what's changed.

 

[Morality Games]

Any time that developers keep working on a game instead of rushing it out the door, I take that as good news.

Wouldn't call it good news. It's just a less bad than the alternative of a rushed release.

Will there be any way to make your tribe worship Dark Gods?
in KODP it always ends up with bad end. And killing beastmen invoke bad end as well.

 

[Merlkir]

What, like Maran Gor? I don't think there's a deity analog of that kind in SA...

He means Chaos gods. Malia etc.

 

[Merlkir]

Aah, no direct Malia analog, but now that I think about it, there are some aspects of the deity roster that are somewhat dark.

 

[Malakal]

Aah, no direct Malia analog, but now that I think about it, there are some aspects of the deity roster that are somewhat dark.

We had that in KotDP with earth blood and what not.

Can you worship Argan Argar?

 

[Merlkir]

Yes, with your cute little tushy.

Some indirect feedback from the Chaosium guys who own Glorantha atm:

TL/DR- A transcontinental move next month means there's going to be a delay in releasing the finished game into 2018. But it will be worth it (MOB's 16 y.o. son Harry is playtesting and is one of the first people to actually finish the game: he loved it!)

 

[Sranchammer]

I'm sure this will be fun but I can't help but think how cool this would be in a real-world setting

 

[Merlkir]

Here's your chance if you wanna be a tester! Sort of.

[Infinitron]

Huh, how did I not know you're a developer Merlkir

DarkUnderlord Crooked Bee Gib dev tag (Studio name: A Sharp)

 

[Merlkir]

Well, technically I'm not a full time employee at A Sharp (for one - they're in the US while I'm in Europe), so...depends on how you define "developer".

 

[CryptRat]

Part-time bringer of incline

 

[Raghar]

Huh, how did I not know you're a developer Merlkir

DarkUnderlord Crooked Bee Gib dev tag (Studio name: A Sharp)

He's contractor, not developer.

If you want you can put artist tag under him, but then you risk some other artists would become butthurt. (And I kinda recall some artists can reach incredible levels in butthurt.)

 

[Merlkir]

I'm ok without a tag, don't worry.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

Wasn't there some sort of Lovecraftian game that was meant to be the spiritual successor to KODP?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

I'm ok without a tag, don't worry.

You are, Infinitron isn't. How will he stalk you without your tag?

Don't let this chance pass you by!

 

[Merlkir]

This is not really Six Ages related, but since I (still) can't talk about the content, I figured this could also be interesting. We used a very similar process while designing the hero cultures of Six Ages, even if we drew from mostly older cultures - bronze age and older.
