Julian LeFay says he doesn't play other games with factions. Then describes how a faction system will work in his game.

You think they might consider hiring a consultant?

I know just the man for the job.

Good, he is making his own thing and not ripping off every other game.

That's why Daggerfall is unique and there is nothing like there - because no one has the talent of Julian, and that's why Wayward will also blow away every other RPG to date.

The wheel is already there (daggerfall) so at most he is making wheel+

I've read this at first as 'now with more coomers'

the more makabb shill a game the less excited i am about it. it's not because game looks bad but he's like the over persistent salesman who overhype their shit and made people annoyed instead of wanting to buy the product.

 

[Makabb]

I wonder if they had shown us first in-game snippet, just like they did with the game name and music before, if yes, then I dig the Roman aesthetic

Is he talking about sigmoïd function in the video ? Like something totally new in videogames ?

I'm going to echo what others have said, A sprite based artstyle similar to Daggerfall Unity and just as modable would be great. It would stop codex bitching because if they don't like how stylised or realistic the art is, you can just bolt on some fan art. The thing I like about Julian is that he's autistic enough to never spare you all the coding terminology idiots like me don't understand. I'd rather devs explain things to me like they reckon I have the capacity to understand it. I learn more from that. I can always look up what particular coding terminology means or ask my dev friends. And either way I end up with a greater understanding that this project is feasible. Watched the 3 hour interview and the subsequent ones. It certainly seems like the devs know what to do and aren't just skiving it off to some poor uni student with their mum's milk still wet on their face.

Julian has to be the most experienced coder on the planet ATM, he created Arena and Daggerfall, worked for 20 years as a non-game coder and now he brings that experience to create something new...... if anyone today can push the genre forward or atleast create something unique that has not been done before, it is him.

I agree that Juilian is a capable programmer.

He cannot, however, create a game alone.

He is not alone, he has an equip of dev under his order.

Will the combined cunning of Julianos and Sheogorath be enough to foster incline in a world where even the venerable Cain now creates chaff like Outer Worlds?

Cain is in a SJW company, Julianos and Sheogorath + Vijay + Eric + Don have their own company

but how do you know if their new company isn't "SJW company"?

Have you followed Outer Worlds thread? If yes, and if you follow this thread, then you know that this one is not.

because there is 0 info.

 

[Makabb]

No, because of the people who are working on this.

 

[Lemming42]

I don't care if they're an "SJW company" or not, I just care that the game doesn't try to didactically lecture me on the dev's political views. The Outer Worlds didn't really do that either, though, and I'm not sure why people think it did, though I never finished it so maybe I missed something. The problem with that game was that it fucking sucked, not that it was preachy.

I think this game is inoculated against ever becoming preachy or hectoring, because the devs are so autistically hyperfocused on systems, mechanics and procedural generation that they won't even have time to write in a character who tells you what to think about modern-day issues.

Did this fall victim to the 'rona, or did Mekabb?

It's been more than one month and their comatose website still only claims that
"Something wayward this way comes…"

Maybe they were talking about the virus, I guess?...
Anyway this is starting to look more and more like vaporware.

 

[unfairlight]

They've mostly communicated via their Discord and Youtube channel from the start. I wouldn't say it's over yet but rather that it hasn't even started, and they've been pretty clear that there is no actual game yet and pre-production will take a while.

Considering Makabb's record, I wonder what these guys did to earn his disfavor.
