KickStarter The Wayward Realms - upcoming Daggerfall-like RPG from original Elder Scrolls developers - coming to Kickstarter

[PorkyThePaladin]

To be fair, Original Shit games were so much worse than Divine Divinity that things would've been better had they turned out to be vaporware.

 

[Wunderbar]

So, honestly curious. How many of these "original devs of X game make a comeback" projects actually succeeded? The only one I tracked recently was Underworld Ascendant, which... y'know.

the original dev of Divine Divinity made the two best-selling turn-based RPGs of all time

it wasn't a comeback because Swen never left.

A real shame about that one...

Success for which party? The developer or the devoted open wallet supporter?

I suppose I should say "critical and audience acclaim of a finished game" instead of something like mere financial success. Because if it's just money, I can already think of quite a few.

Some music tracks have been released. It's unclear from the description whether these are going to be used in the game.



The composer is the same guy who did Arena and Daggerfall.

 

[Lemming42]

Sounds pretty good. Heberling's still got it, very good composer. I get "Oversnow" from Daggerfall playing in my head every time it's foggy outside.

 

[Zeriel]

Holy shit that's a dosage of awesome. If only he was working on something that wasn't vaporware. I'd love to hear that music attached to something like Call of Saregnar.

 

[NecroLord]

Yeah, this is awesome.
Daggerfall had great music.

Music, art, nostalgia--
where's the game code?

Everyday I pray for Julian LeFay.

[HoboForEternity]

it seems they've started to make everything but the actual game lol

 

[Funposter]

it seems they've started to make everything but the actual game lol

Making the actual game is a lot more difficult than commissioning outside artists and musicians.

Making the actual game is a lot more difficult than commissioning outside artists and musicians.

Especially these days where you can use AI for art and now voice acting, soon music.

It's more fun to imagine the idea of 'the game'! Let the fans create art based on this imagined ideas and find new converts to the wayward realms.

 

[Bester]

At this pace, in 20 years chatgpt will just make a game for them and they'll ship it, et voila. Will put all you doubters to shame.

So it's the fantasy version of Star Citizen?

Hammer Of The Heretics

the fantasy version of Star Citizen is Shroud of the Avatar

 

[Hammer Of The Heretics]

Fair.

 

[Elzair]

Hammer Of The Heretics

the fantasy version of Star Citizen is Shroud of the Avatar

Except Shroud of the Avatar was actually released.

Call of Saregnar has its own good music.

[Zeriel]

I see. So that's what happened to the project. She ate it.

 

[Netch]

Ah yes, surely all they needed to really get this project going was a new community manager. I mean, it's only been, what, 4 years since they announced the game? Might as well have been yesterday!
