Vapourware Unknown Realm: The Siege Perilous - an 8-bit RPG for PC and Commodore 64

[Melan]

TBH, it not only looks good, it looks almost too good to be true. The C64 version thing is a gimmick and a huge red flag. The appeal to nostalgia is at its most shameless since the Grimoire pitch. And yet I want to believe. So conflicted.

The moment where Melan's lizard brain overruled his healthy cynicism.
Embarrassing.

Honestly, with these projects its almost impossible to know whether it ends up great or a vaporware pipedream, I wouldn't feel embarrassed for supporting this

I bailed a few years back and managed to get a refund. I was so looking forward to this game, but it was a good lesson learned. When I look back, the signs were everywhere, I just couldn't see them at the time.

Who is bandersnatch and why is he a faggot for rating 5-year-old posts in a thread about vaporware?

Someone with a grudge and posts about being a straight white male?

WTF?!?!

Seriously.....

Infi took away his posting ability so all he has is the ability to seethe and rate posts

 

[Excommunicator]

What's he so positive about?

Uhm sorry, he won't tell about anything because that would spoil the game.

I can understand their hesitation after they've backed acts like Corven, which are speedrunning being shut down by EA with a remix of Ultima VI being called a "new soundtrack". That would indeed be one hell of a spoiler.

What the hell? They didn't even do a remix, it's the same song. If they include this in the game they deserve a takedown

He's a user who had his posting privileges taken away for shitting up General RPG Discussion threads with SJW whinging that belonged in General Discussion. Given how lenient the site has become towards people who shit up GRPG threads in recent years, he must have been truly insufferable. He apparently has way too much time on his hands and doesn't have any other hobbies so he's resorting to rating spam. Judging by the ratings he's giving to posts that are critical of this kickstarter scam, he's also borderline retarded and an easy mark.

She is not wrong. Gamedevs now do everything but finish their games.

Call me a hater, but in my book a dev should have developed at least.. something

She's clearly fishing for a participation award

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I've only recently seem him rate anything. I guess i don't pay attention to mostly banned people.

Richard Garriott: "most game designers really just suck"

Well, it's official.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Is she or her husband the one who sucks?

Richard Garriott: "most game designers really just suck"

I'd be willing to try a Garriott game so long as he only had access to an 8-bit computer or, at the most, something like a 286 when making it. I'd even give Molyneux a chance if all he had was an Amiga to play with.

At least nothing that connects to the internet. For all their lip service to old school anything those two really took to "microtransactions" the worst.
I'm betting they kick themselves at night for not making something like SDG's Guild.

Wow, that isn't very nice at all.

I wonder if the fan was bandersnatch

Spoiler

Still no game in sight, game dev is really hard

 

[Eli_Havelock]

Well shit - you got him, Brucey!

Pretty fast turn around on the white knighting

Woke an old one from his slumber as well

We clearly have the most efficient white knights around.

Laura if you're reading this get to work you shameless lazy cunt

 

[Infinitron]

I regret nothing

 

[whocares]

I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in a pod. I will not use 2FA.

So where's the game.
