Will base my pledge based on the demo... tomorrow.Yes we have a 2-4 hr demo attached to the campaignwait there's a demo?
Thank you dude! We'll make it RIGHT, I'm sure!Did my part, got the €20 pledge. Best of luck
Thank you! We did the multiple copies thing because our prev kickstarter experience had a surprisingly large amount of backers ask us for the ability to get multiple copies to use as gifts to friends, so we made it possible this time.
That's pretty brilliant, thx!
Thanks!
Thank you!
You were previously asking for chainmail bikinis and now you want to have your face ingame. Are these two requests related?
Never ceases to amaze me what can go wrong after you test it a billion times... Can you tell me how that happened? And where? And which sound? All of it? We're fixing a few bugs already, might as well add that to the next update.
Either that or ATOM 2 I guess. But that's all in the future, this puppy won't be fully released until late 2025 at LEAST.
Fixed!!! Pls update in 3 minutes.
Wizards aren't playable, they're just an awesomebutton class.
Just the beach where you start the game, at night. If nothing happens email us a save to support@atomrpg.com if you can, we'll see what the problem is.
Thanks man! Appreciate it! Did you run the demo?
That was scary... But welcome!A madman already pledged 2000€, what a ladMoney go brrrr.
Sorry not this time! There might be a way in the full game since there IS some "magic" out there, but you won't start as one.
ooh the reviews are coming in! Thanks for typing that out! Naming is an ATOM tradition we always liked! Weļl check the hats, sheathing is part of the reason for this Kickstarter just like animations in general. I wanna have a cool sheathing and carrying anims, so we went with none for the demo, they weren't good enough. I really loathe the way they carry swords now but it will all get a makeover! Really happy the icons paid off. It makes dialogue writing slower, because I have to type stuff like {!} {?} {..} {Bluff} {Intimidation} before lines, but it really helps out. Really surprised on the combat bit, I still have no idea how it will be liked after Atom's but you drove those hopes up! We played Gothic before starting work too, might've rubbed off, player freedom is always really important, this one will also have a world that's totally open. We'll see into walking toggle! You can also walk if you encumber yourself rn.Some points from playing the demo for an hour or two (what I remember).
- Really like that you have to introduce yourself to NPCs to know their name. A big plus for this
- Hats remove hairstyle. On females, it's really silly, since they go completely bald.
- You can't sheath your weapons. Getting bad Neverwinter Nights 2 flashbacks
- Combat was very enjoyable, and the skill I picked worked fine (En Garde).
- Dialogue overall felt snappy and amusing. I really liked the small icons to indicate what every line means. Like question, statement, haggle, etc.
- Free-form approach, steal, and kill whoever. Got Gothic vibes.
- Graphics, while not astounding, I think fit the setting well.
- No key for walking. But I did notice that you can walk when approaching loot. My gaming autism calls for a dedicated key!
- Lots of different skills, and stats - I like it!
- A sweet-looking intro that increases the fantasy mood by 43%
don't think i will my brother, i'll wait for the full game i don't want to spoil myself like i did with trudograd EA
Well you're in luck cuz that's a house staple. No level scaling and all locations available from the very start. Even if the location marker is locked behind some quest, you can still find said location by roaming the world map close to it for some reason. There might be an unopenable door here and there, and plenty of negative reviews akin to "well i went to HORRIBLE LAVA LAND with a level 1 character and got killed, please refund" but we'll do our best for complete freedom.
That's fair! Hope you'll like it!
Yeah, felt like a stable and enjoyable TB system. Easy to see and count action points. The UI in general is very nice. The only thing perhaps is that the inventory icons for items are a bit big. I can easily see myself scrolling a lot after collecting stuff. But I'm playing on a standard 1080p screen. Maybe that size is better for larger screens. Otherwise, I think TB fits the fantasy genre like a glove. Easier to "make-belief", than watching people shrug pistol round after pistol round.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. Here's where the limitations really pop out, we don't have an Ultrawide at the moment. In fact, I'm a proud owner of an ultra SMALL screen that I don't wanna replace because it has a SCART input for my ps2 thus the other person's problem with big icons. They're just regular icons from the way I see them. Cuz my screen is 15 inches! But if you describe the issue we might fix it. Gonna have to do it eventually any way! What sort of movement are you experiencing?
That's a relief, thanks! We'll be looking into the different monitor sizes\proportions causing issues, and the UI might just get a scaling option down the road. Thanks for the suggestion! We'll be adding real time with pause combat eventually too, but it still needs a lot of tweaking. Hope it will be smooth too.
You don't need an ultrawide monitor to test wider aspect ratios when you can just set some weird sizes with windowed mode. Best is if you make the window resizable so you can just drag the corner and immediately see if everything moves/adjusts size in a sensible way but that requires some upfront effort to handle resize events in the UI. Worth it IMO thought if you want to support arbitrary aspect ratios (which every game should).
