    I fail to see the humour in this one. I've watched it 7 times now. Maybe if I watch it an 8th time I might get it No, she... I mean it... isn't funny at all. (Watching again...)

    Soul Scholars -- a group of individuals who investigate the heritage of intact souls, seeking a legacy of their interactions and the prophesying the direction of their influence. They may have developed certain elaborate magical tools that aid them in their craft, and their efforts may be funded by wealthy patrons seeking to justify their potential noble stature by demonstrating a royal status in their past lives. The scholars also maintain elaborate histories to trace the heritage of families far back in time. Some swindlers will pose as Soul Scholars in order to profit from the trade. Indeed, true Soul Scholars may offer tempting rewards for those who expose such parasites to their trade.

    Why would they want to attract younger gamers? We older gamers have more disposable income and our money is just as good as anyone else. Are they expecting a sudden die off of over 35's? Should I be worried? Probably because attracting younger gamers means disposable income 10-20 years down the road. Hobbies die off because of a failure to attract younger members. (Remember tabletop wargaming?)

    Perhaps they could borrow a concept from literature: insert an epilogue following the end of the main plot. An interactive scene that wraps up the story and brings closure, but doesn't necessarily require a big boss battle. An example is the medal award ceremony from Star Wars IV.

    Lookout points -- places where a pop-up viewer appears allowing you to see a 360-degree first-person panorama of your surroundings. Mmm, okay... maybe not so easy to implement.
  6. rjshae
    Yes. Turn-based makes more sense when you're controlling multiple characters or have complex magic systems.

    In tabletop RPG news: Freeport: the City of Adventure for Pathfinder: just passed it's goal of $50K. Achtung! for Call of Cthulhu: currently at 1,513% of goal! Throne of Night for Pathfinder: at 60% of goal. Wicked Fantasy for Pathfinder: succeeded at 933%. The Guide to Glorantha: succeeded at 714%. Nice to see the hobby is alive and well.

    They succeeded Feb. 13, with £53,786 in funding.

    Moved to tabletop forum.

    I do like the ability to rotate your view in Wasteland 2. That probably makes more sense in a game where most of the combat is ranged.
  11. rjshae
    But... yeah, okay.
  12. rjshae
    That code language looks... way too primitive. How do you even control scope? Ah well.
  13. rjshae
    I have no interest in it, other than in finding a convenient way to skip the comments.

    Dilbert Non Sequitur That's about it for me.

    Wife's been getting prickly on me arse. I need a hat to match. What would you suggest, sir?

    Equally immersion breaking is being able to walk through the corpses.

    That's when your ex says, "I will deal with this matter personally...".

    I think the comic book department is over on aisle 5. Sigh...

    I like what I've seen of this so far, and I really enjoyed Divine Divinity; Divinity II much less so. If they can recapture that original feel then it's a definite buy for me.

    I think the only thing they've said on this so far is that it'll be similar to switching between chapters in some of the IE games, where you get a narrated sequence, accompanied by static art (which I love, btw). Animation simply is too expensive/time consuming to fit within a crowd sourced budget (and there also seems to be little demand for it in the fanbase). There are still some animations they could implement even with static art, such as slow motion panning and zooming.

    Nonsense. Stretch goals are documented statements of direction, so they should be taken literally.
  23. rjshae
    Oh dear, I do hope that is not the font they're going to be using for the game. It makes reading a plodding effort, particularly against a varying background. Good news otherwise. Thank you for the update.
  24. rjshae
    It's a good thing that they reached the $4M stretch goal or they might not have enhanced the whole game.
  25. rjshae
    Interesting, hope it makes it goal. It seems to be doing much better in this run; they're at 56% ($28k/$50k) with 22 days to go. Good for them.
