So they released a trailer that contains more hype than substance. Looks like a beautiful game full of potential but will it deliver?

I am a bit skeptical toward this, especially with the trailer showing almost no content and putting the emphasis on visuals and the fact that devs worked on Fable. They also displayed a date at the end in a way that resembles an official release date but in reality its only the date of early access. Seems like they are already trying to confuse the customers, for what reason?

I cant even tell what kind of game it is with all my gaming experience. Is it going to be a farming simulator? An action-RPG? A mish mash of genres?

The sandbox tag scares me a bit. Is it just an excuse to not have a main plot/goal? How much sand are we getting into the box?

On top of that they dont even have a proper estimate of when the game will be done. The Steam page of the game pretty much states 1 year+ with no maximum. They are selling a product with almost no content and an uncertain road map.

I remember Starbound using a similar marketing approach based on hype and promises when it was still in early development and it didnt end up well. Im concerned that this game might end up like SB.

Well if it happen to became another StarBound you can just get your money back as long as it is in EA at GoG

Are you saying that GOG allows unlimited playtime on in dev titles and still offer refunds until date of release?

I don't think it's unlimited on GOG. Playtime doesn't matter, but calendar does - something like 14 days or 1 month from purchase. My memory is bit fuzzy here, I'm not going to refund anyway so never felt the need to remember it exactly.

And as far as I am concerned Starbound turned out pretty well, even if few years late. I got it when they releases in-dev on GOG, which means it was already in very playable state. Kynseed is in earlier development phase, but it's playable too. I'm uneasy about the aging aspect, I usually get attached to my characters and like to build them up as far as possible. But price is good enough to try something new. Maybe I'll like it, or someone will mod the aging out.

Nah for games in Early Acces it is unrestricted without need for a reason. 30 days it is for released games and you have to give a technical reason why it does not work and if support does not solve it you get your money back. GoG is better for games in EA but worse for normal games then steam with the return right. Steam does not want any reason until you did not played more then two hours and bought the game on steam.

GOG has the edge for in dev titles I guess. I think it is only fair too, if you support a game and by the time it gets released you dont want to support it anymore then you should be able to refund.

My memory isn't perfect, but not THAT bad. Seems to be 14 days no-questions-asked for indev games.

I second huan, it is a 14 day return policy as stated in the link to "learn more about games in development" on the games store page. Others stating its unlimited are providing incorrect information. That being said, I'm gonna roll the dice and buy it.
