Talos worship will be wiped out by then, and what's left of imperial administration will be held by the Crowns. The bretons are just dead, and skyrim disappeared in a Dragon Break. Then will emerge the moonsugar dealer-hero, the Hunding, who replaces Talos as The One, exposes the Thalmor plot in Tamriel, and reverses the redguards racial inability to stop killing each other and expand into an empire. Tamriel will have a Black Emperor: Gorj Ye Floyd Hunding, and he will nuke Summerset off-screen, because Tiber Septim couldn't.

There's a father and son orc in the same picture so this theory of yours needs more proof to back it up. It does sound intriguing though. Wasn't there an Extra Credit vid that also argued that?Vergil wrote: ↑ February 1st, 2024, 08:35I think it's so funny that everyone universally views orcs as niggers. Even people who love niggers then project their poor mistreated minority noble savage whole chungus 100 onto orcs because they recognize they are NIGGERS.
Edit: Also, is this another We Wuz Kangz situation?

That's exactly the point though. It's the same sort of cope and attempted social engineering that they do irl in advertisements, movies etc with black people. "Those orcs blacks don't deal with mass parental abandonment look at all these ads with affluent supportive black fathers buying security systems to keep out those white burglars" type of stuff. They've internalized the fact that orcs are dark skinned violent savages just like black people but they've reframed that through their own "muh poor oppressed minorities" lens so they apply that same sort of racial cope to them.SoLong wrote: ↑ May 17th, 2024, 20:19There's a father and son orc in the same picture so this theory of yours needs to more proof to back it up.

Can't wait for it to make 45 dollars and then the kickstarter chargeback scammer bumps it up last minute.

I don't know. Could be successful, they passed 100k Wishlist on Steam a couple of months ago.
I just find the whole concept fascinating, about 12-13 years late. In 2012 they could have broken records with it.

"sloth" seems to define this entire project.

What happened with cringy pitch videos? Not a thing anymore?
I understand that they are not showing this gameplay video on Kickstarter, but why even upload it on YouTube if they currently can't even achieve a stable 15FPS. Looks absolute garbage

They basically just show one quest with the usual CHOICES, combat, stealth, magic. It's about as impressive as you imagine.

Looks like every single other bit of Unity/Unreal my first game kickstarter slop.

Now the video is also on Kickstarter. Guess they just forgot it at first
The Wayward Realms offers a massive, procedurally-generated world with plenty of variety in the environments and locales.
Perhaps the most exciting feature we are working on, the Virtual Game Master—or VGM—is a system designed to bring roleplaying to the next level. Brought to life using the latest in machine learning technology, the VGM is meant to tailor a player’s gameplay experience to their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their preferences and choices.

Already US$62k.
Either people have problems understanding patterns or are so desperate for a good game that are willing to gamble in a tinny chance of success...

The kino mixture of unstable framerate and arma 2 tier headbob gets me fully immersed.

Got to admit I'm impressed. Their social media engagement seemed really fucking abysmal so I expected it to flop right out of the gate. Assuming a decent chunk of this money isn't pre-existing budget being put onto the kickstarter and private backers etc.

The real advertising for this game was actually making it look like people were willing to give 500k to support this game.

The average money spent per backer is less than US$100. Is 99.0436046512 to be exactly(136284/1376 with the CURRENT information), no one backed deity tier(yet),Vergil wrote: ↑ May 30th, 2024, 20:35Assuming a decent chunk of this money isn't pre-existing budget being put onto the kickstarter and private backers etc.
So I think that there is a serious demand for Daggerfall style RPGs. Mainly after the dumpster fire that starfield was and that Avowed will probably be. TES VI will probably sucks too.

Maybe the zoomers who pretend to like Daggerfall will pump this up a bit. Has anyone made a 9 hour retrospective about how Daggerfall is an underrated spine tingling genre defining classic yet?

Those first three clips in sequence are hilarious. It went from, "oh hey, this doesn't look so bad" to "oh dear, looks like movement needs some work, but otherwise to this is good" to "Oh, this just looks like Babby's first Unreal game". That poor skeleton...

This has officially been shilled by MCA. Situation is slowly getting out of control.

I guess game devs exiled from the industry and desperate to hold onto their relevance gotta stick together.

Is so sad that even after proven innocent, MCA still canceled and in his place, a lot of "sweet babies" got hired in his place... This is unironically worse than stalin purges. Under stalin purges, you where considered guilty till proven innocent. For baizuo inquisition, you are guilty even after proven innocent.

Can't believe they shot Avellone and let Beria molest his young family members.

It will significantly slow down after 2 days. If you are not reaching something like 30% of your goal within the first 2 days, you will have a hard time reaching the goal. I would guess maybe in the 700-800 range. One other issue that might hold them back a bit are their shitty back rewards. I don't think I have ever seen non-progressive once. (from the 130$ Tier onwards). So for 10,000USD, you get everything from the $130 tier, and some gangbang with the team. You are not getting to design an NPC, Item etc.WaterMage wrote: ↑ May 30th, 2024, 20:30US$ 131,397

Plus no physical big box copy, lots of added rewards are just shitty PDFs.
