Holy ****! Have things really gone that bad? Safe rooms and puppies to protect people from the speech of a middle-aged woman? I had to watch the video twice to make sure I actually heard it right. How do these people survive in life? My god....

Because it's fun. The game has some pacing problems and the writing could be better, but... it's a fun game nonetheless.

Bethesda strongarms another indie dev for the use of a certain word in their game title. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/bethesda-legal-team-pressures-fortress-fallout-dev/1100-6425334/

A loosely Tex Murphy style detective adventure RPG (obviously without live acting).

OZ, the game. Could be interesting actually. Lots of "factions" of different morals and goals, narrative and reactivity heavy, controversial topics, lots of potential for different skills and stats beyond just combat. I'd pledge a few bucks for that.

Cyber- and Steampunk, western, gangsters, one of these or a mixup of sorts. No typical Tolkienic fantasy with swords, magic and elves thanks, sick and tired of that ****.

They also started a fire alarm at an MRA meeting after having a loud protest behind the door (don't remember if it was the same event as in the video).

Here's a nice roundup of 2014:

Are they trying to one-up BioWare's in the hilariously bad romance department? Somehow Twilight and Bioware reminded me of this:

Codex riling people up and crawling under their skin? Why I never... :D

65GB? Gah....

This whole thing has been utterly insane already from the very beginning.

Gotta say, that as a mere bystander for all this lunacy, this has been pretty fun to watch for all that it has offered. Good laughs.

Someone made some art of Art Chu's interview in the Pakman Show (recognize the faces?)

A bottle of 12-year-old Jameson yesterday. Today, water, coffee and ice cold cranberry juice.

Reminded me of this old strip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy5vRGtKPY0 Anonymous or Anonyomous (at 0:01)?

I have a faint recollection of Sawyer (or someone else from the team) making a comment on that a few years back that there would've been problems with the developement timeframe (18 months) and the scope of the game if they had chosen to use another engine and build a game from scratch. That's what is probably meant with the often popping up "forced to use Bethesda's engine (and assets)". I may misremember, of course... Anyways, there's absolutely no need to FPSify the old games; it would only do a disservice to what they were and tried to achieve

Agreed. In general, I think they should try out things that aren't littering the marketspace already or mimicing them - be it mainstream or KS - something less expected and more of broader attempt at exploring what all could be done with cRPG's; what ever that might be in practice. This could probably exclude combat centric ISO/TB-RtWP games too, but... There is a number of those around and upcoming already.

Look at the videos Indira posted. They are almost identical -- obviously apart from the party stuff and graphical detail.

Looks very much like Kingdoms of Amalur...
