Yeah, so I hope it will have something unique (I'd love to see some unique races).

But in the end, it just doesn't matter. I'm happy isometric crpgs are alive.

I'm in that boat as well, just going the opposite direction. After the flood I decided I'd only back adventures... pulling that Wasteland 2 pledge was like pulling teeth. Hate to now pass on backing Tim Cains first Kickstarter, but there's still the Lori & Corey Cole project, Autumn Moon and bloody hell knows what else on the horizon. After all teh drama I just wish I hadn't thrown so much at Replay Games...

Try Inherit the Earth, it's adventure game (I'd kickstarter it in a second) with humanoid animals.
I see, but I always was rpg guy, adventure games are awesome (TLJ!) but I'll always choose crpg.

Fuck me, I totally forgot about School for Heroes!

I'm hoping this as well. Maybe they're just needing to find a proper solution for distribution. Obsidian.net couldn't handle the traffic.

Thats what i thought. This new project looks interesting, but $140 for boxed copy seems a bit steep. I'm sure this project will be funded, probably it will surpass the 1.1 million that they are asking. I might donate but i need more information before i do.

I expect more than expensive frisbee for 65 bucks as that's all the game disk would be for me if they opt to make game Steam exclusive as then disk will also contain steamworks and will only be redeemable on steam. I could never play the game then as Steam Client will never come anywhere near any of my computers.

Oh and they added following to the FAQ so there is still some hope (It certainly wasn't there when I first looked):

They've now added following to FAQ so I'm bit hopefull:

Boxed copy is for $65.

CE is for $140.

This is what i want:

*More information? yes i will most likely back but i still want to know what they have planned in general that is.
*... DRM!?
*Why do all the rewards suck so badly? For 250$ You get a softcover (wtf?????) book with art, general information and so on, a t-shirt, a CE box, a post card, cloth map...
So no cd with soundtracks, No hardcover, no funny trinkets or anything else and no hardcover.
Thats more then the most expensive CE i have ever bought AND that one had everything from statues, art, paintings, metal case and so on... It feels like they are tryin to be cheap.
*Also no mater what the item is im not a huge fan of exclusive items.

Overall disappointed with the rewards... but... gaah =((

Backed it for $500 + S&H, but if they don't announce a basic tier DRM-free version by the time the project closes, I'm out.

Oops, you're right. I was blinded by all the pretty picturesand hype. $65 for a boxed copy IS alot more reasonable. Thanks for pointing that out. Honestly, i'm still pissed off about the Wings! kickstarter going down in flames (pun intended). I'm going to wait for more info before i commit to this project.

Dammit, why did this have to go up at the same time as the Homestuck Kickstarter?

I'm gonna back this anyway. To heck with my economy - I am told it is possible to live without food for some time, and I need to lose weight anyway.

Here's hoping you can talk, run or sneak your way out of most situations like in Planescape: Torment, and in a consistent manner. I'm still hung up on the mausoleum quest and its lack of a peaceful solution. (Why can't I just *give* the dude my blood with a high enough CHA score? He seemed like a harmless enough fellow).

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare for one. Kinetic Void devs also have somehow deluded themselves believing that Steam is not DRM. Despite saying numerous times game won't have any sort of DRM, they now consider going steam only:

In their defense, developers/publishers do have the option to not use the DRM side of Steam. Paradox does it for several games.
