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

[udm]

Oh is this that shameless ripoff spin off of Unknown Realm where the project is a game instead of drama?

Called it!

Little do people know: Bruce invented RPGs on the C64. Damn copycats at it again!

Since developing a game clearly isn't where his strengths lie, he should instead keep up the shitposting and then sell tickets to punch him in the dick. He'd make a fortune.

"Any day now we'll be ready to send out those tickets!"

Hey uh... is this out yet?

Hey uh... is this out yet?

I got to play a preview demo.

It'll be out next Thursday, in 2032.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Don't worry. Sarah's game will be out before this and they'll feel shamed...



She has like 5 SHMUPS and both Briley Witch Chronicles under her belt. Her team is enthusiastic.

That looks cool.

Imagine fucking around for years and then watching someone eat your lunch over the course of months. The karma gives me goosebumps.

If SD actually starts working on their game, will they be copycatting their copycat?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I love that deep synth-sid music.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Anyway, I do hope SD does finish and sell their game. Honestly, if they lost this much capital by screwing up or life smacking them in the face they'll have to sell the game besides KS promises.


I can't say I'd but it at release though. I have a KS who has fucked up on physical shipping of some cards. Seems USA & Canada got fucked. We might get charged an extra $25 for them to be shipped in May. At this point, I'm pretty meh on the product. I asked why they don't send us a pdf in the mean time? They said maybe in future product releases they will (and charge). I'm like WTF. Imagine if I bought the entire module of products they had in physical and not just the cards. I'd be beyond boned. That's fucking up your logistics badly. And I wonder how many backers got screwed. We might see something...... maybe. Ha!

You piss off a backer and they won't EVER back you again. They've had two more projects since then. I'd have been satisfied with pdf. I could get say drivethrurpg to print the cards if i wanted then if POD. Meh!

So, do we think they'll actually get the cartridge manufactured and sent to backers before they start selling the game to everyone else?

They claim they'll have a custom injection mold made—which, you know, runs a few thousand bucks minimum. But hey, that’s what they pitched in the Kickstarter, so I’m sure it’ll all work out flawlessly.

Buddy thinks there's a game.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Are they offering more Christmas goodies this year?

 

[shilence]

They sent out the same stuff like they did in the last years. Yay for another lute's string!

btw:

Bruce lecturing about originality while his game is basically a Ultima clone is peak irony . He acts like the creator of the genre while Sarah is out there making real progress and releasing games for decades. This whole rant screams more salty jealousy, and that is what make my manly man nipples hard.

PS: Sarah Jane makes her games just for fun in her free time without any backer money, while Bruce begs for cash every few years, has paid minions running his guild, and blew through his backer funds. So, who’s really doing it for dem commerce, and who’s making art?

 

[Tweed]

NOOOOOO! The heckin' industry veteran tranny is stealing my ideas with a hobby project! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[mediocrepoet]

A game designer with no game isn't a designer, he's a dreamer who forgot to grow up. No one's imitating that.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Well, if Bruce is shitting on Sarah then he's being an asshole. Btw, each Briley is about $10 while the shooters a bit less. I own the first Chronicle so... I'll buy the rest to support this actual game creator.

Shame on you Bruce! SHAME!
BAD BRUCE BAD! <takes a newspaper to him>

Since I’ll be on vacation for the next few weeks, here’s the:

PREMATURE DECEMBER UPDATE

What’s up in the Unknown Realm this month?
________________________________________________________________________
Laura sent out the same Christmas cards as last year to their guild members. Really makes you wonder who’s paying them to del... deliver... uhm... yeah.

Bruce is mad about gatekeeping intellectuals:

But zooming in on his bio...:

Wut dat? In case you don’t know, boomers and kids ~12 years old were really into a personality test a few years back. They proudly slapped their results into their bios. Bruce is INTP. The website describes it as:

“People with the INTP personality type (Logicians) pride themselves on their unique perspective and vigorous intellect. They can’t help but puzzle over the mysteries of the universe – which may explain why some of the most influential philosophers and scientists of all time have been INTPs.”

Guess he out-INTP’d himself by being too much smarties.

Bruce hating on those damn copycats:

Anyways, let’s take a look at "Bruce’s" stump mimic:

Uhm, wasn’t this a monster in D&D...?

Ah, gotcha. It’s just a reference! That’s cool and totally not taking from other creators. lel.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

I’m skipping all the “damn wokes preventing my game from happening” stuff because it makes me tired.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

My personal gift to Bruce: It’s quite interesting that you haven’t noticed your guild login page has been offline since, pulls out calendar, almost half a year. Really makes you wonder what great benefits are waiting there if nobody can even access it.

See you next year!

I believe he's also inferring the dangers of the Vorpol Bunny. Many games have used that nasty little critter, notably Wizardry.

Rabbit of Caerbannog

The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog is a fictional character in the Monty Python film Monty Python and the Holy Grail...

Anyway, another year any closer? <shrug>

 

[Litmanen]

Anyway, he is complaning about being copied while he has done nothing yet.

Lots of people do nothing. They're all ripping him off.

 

[I eat frozen vegetables]

It will take as long to release as it did for Galahad to sit on Siege Perilous.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Can anyone list his game completion list?

 

[mediocrepoet]

Can anyone list his game completion list?

Sure, it's as follows:

 

[shilence]

Can anyone list his game completion list?

Sure, it's as follows:

That's like, literally, fake news!

He is credited in these games, as part of a larger team:

Traxxpad: Portable Studio (2007, PSP)
NHL 2001 (2000, PlayStation)
Obsidian (1997, Windows)

But as a solo dev(C)?

Nothing

I figured he was asking about his solo dev completion.

Anyway, I wasn't quite right, there was this.

So, uh... did he get the programmers coffee and make donut/food runs? Maybe that is what he did (almost intern stuff).
