I reported you for hate speech. Be prepared to be swatted in the next 5mins.

btw, If anyone fancies a more civilized conversation, have a look at the nice kickstarter comments. Even Bruce himself lowers himself to his backers there!

I really like how he rambles about some weird story from X years ago where someone said his game looks cool, but not actually anwering to the people's questions.

In America (at least), you don't need to register a trademark. You can, but then it's a "Registered Trademark" and gets the ® symbol and has additional benefits.

Yes. My understanding (not a lawyer) is that if it were challenged in court and you have proof of original art, then your trademark is protected even if all you did was slap the TM on it.

interesting couple, I wonder what they do for work and in their spare time.

The typical beggar job they will take to the streets again like their olden days.




I'm surprised they didn't start a church since religious orders supposedly pay no taxes and are the biggest bunco schemes on the planet for millennia. Only prostitution comes close or surpasses that and at least there you get some fucking in.

I guess they could red light their lives as well.

They are noob grifters. (Kick)starting religion/cult is for pros. Wannabe Chris Roberts.

Yeah, it just hit. Anyway, I'm sure Bruce and his henchwife will take credit for another indie launched. Without them, nothing would be made.

They just wanted to get SDG into the credits listing, so they could be like: Yeah, we were busy. We were totally executive producers on that other vapourware project.

All this guy did was make a C64 style modern RPG, didn't even press C64 disks or use real C64 hardware or... *

* inb4 I find out he actually did that too. :lol:
Skald taking 500 MB—I don't see that happening on a C64 anymore. It would be quite a technical prowess, which only a few are still capable of achieving. It's also beyond those games, although I remember quite good-looking C64 games like Times of Lore or the recent port of Eye of the Beholder on the C64.

Good point. :lol:

I thought the C64 was awesome back in the day. Missed it a lot when I had to move to a CGA PC.

It was awesome and far superior to CGA graphics on PC, both in terms of graphics and sound. Then, after that, the Amiga was considerably superior to PC gaming until the Ultima 7 era. But Skald would be above the best-looking games on the C64.
Best graphics i could remember :
https://www.lemon64.com/game/last-ninja-3 , https://www.lemon64.com/game/times-of-lore
Most detailed rpg i can remember :
https://www.lemon64.com/game/magic-candle as you see it's well under skald too which could rather be an amiga 500 game except for the palette. Peak amiga rpg gaming was https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=1250 , https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=4095, https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=1485 even bigger in scope, and so many more. The Skald trailer is good, but the C64 could have been realistically replaced by an A500.

Someone on the Wayward Realms team? There was some french jrpg like that just closed ~270,000: ALZARA Radiant Echoes recently as well. But that's about all I can think of in regards to larger RPG kickstarter success stories in recent years.

Granted I don't how long ago that post KS power trip was I guess.
