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

[ERYFKRAD]

I just realized how long it's been since this started.. bros.. where did all the time go..

Away from us, as it always does.

 

[Old Hans]

development for this game reminds me of all the various overly ambitious amateur modding projects ive come across over the years

 

[gooseman]

I want to believe.

Ted took the money and fled to a tropical island to retire.

 

[Gargaune]

I want to believe.

Chief, even Mulder would press X on this one.

Are there no defenders of Wayward Realms to report the good news of OnceLost Development progress?

 

[PunchYouInTheFace]

Saw one of their promo vid, seems like the things they want to achieve are unrealistic.

At best it's going to be Daggerfall with 3d graphics. At worse, a scummy vertical slice.

There's Daggerfall Unity for those who want to scratch that early Elder Scrolls itch.
It will be way inferior to Unity, I'll wager.
Kickstarter projects are a risky proposition, especially if they are made by devs who are looking to relive the glory of the old days.
Some indie kickstarters successfully materialize however.

Don't let your dreams be dreams, you can be the very first to JUST DO IT! Be the Defender you've always wanted to be!

Can't they just make it with DF Unity style graphics? It'd save a ton of time and money to go with sprites over 3D models, and it'd fit right in with the "boomer shooter" trend bullshit that's been going on the last few years.

I want this project to work but I'm now on Team "They've Fucked This Up, They're Absconding With The Money".

Hear, hear...
Also, correct me if I am wrong, but I haven't really seen much attention given to this game and its development...
Right now, I almost barely see it mentioned anywhere, maybe just because I do not read gaming publications or watch many YT videos?

 

[Tyranicon]

Has there been any news post-kickstarter outside of that chart of who's getting the money?

 

[ADL]

A lot of Ted Petersen blogposting about nothing.

 

[gooseman]

Is it just me or do all their videos look like the game is running at 10 fps? And the fucking blur. Just fucking stop.
Oh yeah, the videos are 24fps
Dungeon stuff are the only parts that really look like a shitty asset flip, everything else is alright.

I've argued this same point.

I fear that the young unpaid interns and volunteer staff have no experience in the old ways. To the young inexperienced staff members sprites are more difficult than asset store 3D models.

There will be no code optizimation as there is no one working on this game that has experience with writing code and optimizing it.

A lot of Ted Petersen blogposting about nothing.

All Ted has done is create a weird sexual charged fan fiction userbase in private discord chats.

Fan fiction about what?

No updates from Julian?

 

[ADL]

LeFay is MIA and AFAIK he didn't participate in the campaign at all.

 

[Tyranicon]

So there has been a timeline posted to the kickstarter, but it was super blurry and unreadable so I had google search the image :/

 

[Gargaune]

George C. Parker, a Nigerian prince and a Kickstarter dev walk into a bar...

 

[Lemming42]

The bartender says [ERROR: NPC AI not implemented in this build]

Pfft, the bar just a patch of ground labeled bar

Take a seat on MISSING MESH and order a nice mug of [Placeholder Item].

At least the orc cocks will be fully and lovingly modelled with real foreskin retractability physics.
