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

[Tweed]

Even Derek Smart managed to release a game while arguing with everyone on Usenet.

 

[Alienman]

Did she look up Taxalot on Codex or something?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

And New Year’s resolution is to not post about The Unknown Realm.

She is lying about refunding you; I asked for a refund and received a bullshit response saying I can't be refunded. Guess I'll start getting more active on Twitter and public websites about them and their scam of a game.

What year mark are we up to in this dev cycle since introduced?

What year mark are we up to in this dev cycle since introduced?

It's been roughly 7 years. They forecasted releasing it in December of 2017.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Not even barely a butthair compared to Cleve then. But he has rep and they have nothing.

He also had a lot to talk about the game, especially in context to Max Phipps, Toadie from Mad Max 2.

If you don't know that tale, you must first equip the ring.

Two years later in 2019... JollyDiks.

Laura gave this exact advice to fellow Dunning-Kreuger Effect Developer, Lycantic, for how Corven sunk the dude's life and marriage by having not much to show anyone but some AI gen backer portraits and a demo from many years of development before then.

Design content, playtest, iterate content and combat systems, playtest, loop until no grind claim is fulfilled without the result of just a bit of grind breaking all challenge (and killing player continued interest to play), in under a year?

There is a reason why this "C64 RPG" is on-track to releasing towards when the Tandy 1000 got shelved: they never had a clue of what they were doing from the start, trying to take some nostalgic player experience and some programmer experience and assuming that somehow equates into being able to make a product that would sell to any but the nostalgic.

So far, we can tell who has had previous development experiences with RPGs, and which have more experience being skeezy hos.

Milestones are required for everyone in the industry, but so far these folks have been a bunch of David Allen fucking up the Infinite Worlds dev deal with Black Isle Studios/Interplay and trying to use an Interplay dev no comment remark to mean Interplay had difficulty contacting him with meaningful information, rather than what would become evidently characteristic of David's career style of management.

A pity, too, because that game was shaping up to bring 3D crawlers back (a LOT better than what D.W. Bradley was bringing by his gradual abandonment of Wizardry ethos, especially by Dungeon Lords). If it kept going it would have recovered from the catering of Stonekeep 2s development and then some, rather than getting a little boost and character portraits before going back to janksville.

(Even ol Derek Smart had the same go on with his "neural nets" and other features that would go on to become why no publisher in their right mind would take them.)

That is why all these two have are screenshots to show after seven years slow. They begged more than their own belief in what they could do.

If the public accountability works to make them refund what they owe if they cannot produce their end of the contract, that became the option THEY chose after all else available to normal developers, even if they made the public their publisher and advertising. Same thing they encouraged the Corven dude into.

Public accountability clearly works for more than EA's Reddit account.

When's the beta coming? they announced it two years ago

btw, I think they happily refund low tier backers so those pesky people can't complain in their kickstarter comments section anymore. And all of their critical comments get erased automatically!

Shit like this is why I don't participate in crowd funding or early access anymore as a general rule.

Going by all the "This person has canceled their pledge." now on the Corven KS comments page, SDG's advice was taken, and it works.

Backers funded game development, not developer education of how to make a game. The latter part was supposed to be implied but then you got all the name-droppers calling out "Ultima!" as they rattle their beggar's bowl, while even big name developers took their turn pissing in the faces of the hopeful until everyone now knows why publishers have had enough of them.

I wonder if these two ever reached out to RG for how low-rent party clown Lord British was for Corven. Might even get some of those SotA suckers for how they keep paying for a game that will never arrive, and what did arrive never really lived.

SOTA is at least free to play and download for offline play. This is ghostware.

Together with your help, we can bring back a taste of the Golden Age! Not just for the fans who almost flunked out of high school playing these games long ago, but for new generations of gamers who never got the opportunity to experience what makes this genre of RPGs so special.

No worries about flunking in Oregon anymore; you can graduate without learning to read, write, or do arithmetic. FREE GRADUATIONS UNTIL 2030 (maybe even beyond). College may decide to go this route too.

This has to be the only pseudo-active thread for this game scam on the entire internet.

Then they run over to X to cry while nailing themselves to a cross, it's great. They made 4D Chess of the Twitter rebrand with that.

Gosh, wonder what happened to all the troo fans like bootles at Lemon64. Strange how they all just vanished.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Only the codex is elite enough to keep everyone informed. They’ve vanish like dust in the wind without the dex.

And everywhere else where they assume entire races are too functionally retarded to do basic things required by everything else, like acquire ID, know where the DMV is, and how to use the internet, and so the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling as they pass on the future felons to a future life of taxpayer subsidy as they learn anything but valuable information. This is like trying to discuss Unknown Realm itself because there is so little else about the game released to actually discuss in the 7 years overdue to a dearth of detail during the interim.

Meanwhile, "higher education" is trying to rationalize the use of genocidal anti--Semitic chants by their programmed muppets as "contextual" in regards to it being hate speech or not - just don't misgender someone, you hateful bigot you!

The kids don't know how to math but they sure can chant the thing as they earn the useless degree you, I, and every other legit taxpayer are expected to pay for.

But whomever got the emo kids to start castrating themselves? Man, that was GENIUS.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Prolly the Chinese or are they castrating their males and ripping out the ovaries of the females there? Maybe all chinks become gay? Japan & Thailand sure like the faux-girl fem-bois. India has gangs that cadtrate dudes on the street and turn them into butt-bitch prostitutes along with killing girls. Eh.. I dunno. Wacked up world. An Unknown Realm that is laying a perilous Siege upon us all.

 

[Eli_Havelock]

The whole conversion therapy of castrating gays and emos and calling them women under penalty of death is a hugely Iran thing.

That definitely explains the clownshoes nuclear deal. China fanned the propaganda on in the US by their local shell corps while Russia NOPEd it from being next door. Ukraine telling the eunuchs to stay and fight by blocking them at the border from leaving was a great moment of clarity. Those who can't balance their finances are now wanting us all to throw money into something less accountable than DEI spending by the Pentagon.

None of that has much to do with the magical flip fetish of the Asians and via that the anime and furry subcultures fetishizing the yiffing hell out of it. These nutters are where you get the misconceptions that cutting off a bull's nuts and adding lipstick now makes it a cow able to give birth.

Social media has combined those two core facets into the Reese's peanut butter cups of mindfuckery and regret. Most emo will never stand a chance, certainly not if their mom wants social credit score to snip her son and call the steer a sheila.

California wants to make objecting to castrating your kids classed as child abuse, so moving away from there was one bright move by SDG for better or worse.

Elden Ring's marketing had what is probably the best reference to the Weeaboo Wanderer above the Sea of Fog:

A Jap, a Frenchie, and a British tourist in Spain.

Well, they didn't want to toot their own horn but truth be told, their trend setting goes back in time too.
