Excited to see the epic merch!

We've got to find a way to preserve all this artwork.

I swear it’s real. It came to me. I heard it first, a crinkle popping noise… I thought it was a thief looking for a quick pay day, but then I saw it. A strange crab-like man…but so much larger.. & insanely strong.Look out, you may have a different visitor than you expect…

Sandy Claws actually... not even joking.

Wow... I tried to skip around the video for a few minutes and...

"In a world where the gaming industry is throwing itself shamelessly at microtransactions and battlepasses, Ted, Julian, and the team working on the Wayward Realms are leading the charge back to a bygone era where the worlds were the size of Britain and the gameplay didn't require a subscription fee."

So, six months down the line from a $750k crowdfunder, they've got no dev screenshots or videos, they haven't decided whether the game will feature multiplayer or even how they're going to structure their story and AI, all they've got - much as expected - is the same sort of plans and promises waffle they had before the Kickstarter... But they DO have a merch shop now! I'm actually a little impressed with the brazen cupidity on display.

P.S. Steam comments ain't havin' it.

Multiplayer coop is part of 2.000.000$ stretch goal on their kickstarter page.

It's not a bad idea tbh.

All profits go towards further development.

You can support development and got some merch as well.

Gee, that sounds so Trustworthy!!
My purse just tingles with anticipation.

Minimal viable product.
Vertical slice.
Playable demo.

Best we can do is a podcast and sell you a T-shirt.

this may not be a classic get rich quick scheme, but it definitely feels like some kind of scheme

 

[Butter]

Just think of it as royalties for all the copies of Daggerfall that Bethesda have given away.

 

[La vie sexuelle]

My crystal ball tells me that the experience will be rather disappointing for everyone except that one user who will base their entire personality on this game.

It sounds like a "delay bankruptcy" scheme

Just checked out the trailer from 8 months ago.

"Ours [tale] starts on Eyjar, a remote island in the northeast"

INSTANT CRINGE

"Eyjar" is Icelandic for "Islands", so the game starts on Islands Island.

They pronounce it 'Eye-Jar', while Iceland pronounces it 'Ay-yar', as the 'J' is soft.

I know that Iceland is not a big market, but their opening moves have made the game into a joke here.

I dunno, I mean, if you can get the Desert desert in the real world, getting the Island island in a fantasy game is not such a long jump from that...

The location is called Eyjar. Like a homestead might be called Homestead. Or an abyss might be called The Abyss.

People don't go around calling it The Abyss abyss, or the Homestead homestead.

Same principle, but it's in a foreign language.

Eyjar seems to be Old Norse. So imagine some Norse stumbled upon the island long ago, and it was the only island around, so they simply called it "the island" in Norse and that became the name of the island.

But I understand where you're coming from. As a German speaker I find myself cringing too when I hear German words and names being used just because they might sound cool.

See The Goonies and the Fratelli Brothers (in Italian: "i fratelli Fratelli").
