I think it'll get made, but the important bit about Kickstarter is that your money is going away with no guarantee of shipping. So Cormacaroni's $20 would be for a download, while everyone else's is for the promise of a download.

Yeah, I don't think there's any way that they would fail to deliver something. As such, the real risk I think is not whether or not the product will ship at all, but whether or not the product that ships is actually worth a damn.

The whole point of doing a Kickstarter is to avoid dealing with publishers and their money.

I can't believe EviLore dropped like $3000 on this... I don't think (if I had it) I'd even drop that much on kickstarting a Phantasy Star 5.

From a new interview with Chris Avellone:

Quote

You've stated in the past that you don't like romances in games—at least to the extent that they've been done in games thus far. Were you to implement a romance subplot in Project Eternity, what would it involve?

Not a big fan of romances. I did four in Alpha Protocol because Chris Parker, our project director, demanded it because he thinks romance apparently is easy, or MAYBE it’s because he wanted to be an asshole and give me tons of them to do because I LOVE them so much (although to be honest, I think he felt it was more in keeping with the spy genre to have so many romances, even if I did ask to downscope them). At least I got to do the “hatemance” version of most of them, which makes it a little more palatable.

Also, the only reason the romance bits in Mask of the Betrayer worked was because George Ziets helped me with them since he was able to describe what love is to me and explain how it works (I almost asked for a PowerPoint presentation). It seems like a messy, complicated process, not unlike a waterbirth. Don’t even get me started on the kissing aspects, which is revolting because people EAT with their mouths. Bleh.

So if I were to implement a romance subplot in Eternity - I wouldn’t. I’d examine interpersonal relationships from another angle and I wouldn’t confine it to love and romance. Maybe I’d explore it after a “loving” relationship crashed and burned, and one or both was killed in the aftermath enough for them to see if it had really been worth it spending the last few years of their physical existence chained to each other in a dance of human misery and/or a plateau of soul-killing compromise. Or maybe I’d explore a veteran’s love affair with his craft of murder and allowing souls to be freed to travel beyond their bleeding shell, or a Cipher’s obsession with plucking the emotions of deep-rooted souls to try and see what makes people attracted to each other beyond their baser instincts and discovers love... specifically, his love of manipulating others. You could build an entire dungeon and quest where he devotes himself to replicating facsimiles of love, reducer a Higher Love to a baser thing and using NPCs he encounters as puppets for his experimentations, turning something supposedly beautiful into something filthy, mechanical, but surrounded by blank-eyed soul-twisted drones echoing all the hollow Disney-like platitudes and fairy tale existence where everyone lives happily ever after.

He sounds like a total nutter, but that's the kind of psychosis I can get behind in terms of game design.

At least it's better than "You can sex up lots of hot ladies and maybe a dude too or something" which has become Bioware's go-to line for NPC relationships.

Also this MMORPG has no exp and levels.

That's something, I guess.

it's F2P, uses "target" system (when you click on a character ans use skills, I don't play such MMOs, so I don't know what that means), 15 classes will be available.

F2P, good. I suppose.

Choose Your Own Adventure-style cutscenes.

Himu · « **Reply #154 on:** May 29, 2013, 12:34:21 PM »

I don't understand. Choose your own adventure cutscenes? How does that even work out? So you're pointin and clickin and all of a sudden you get to a cutscene whose art aesthetic is totally different from the rest of the game, choose what to do, and then the game continues? I don't like text rpgs unless they're pen and paper. Is there an update with actual gameplay yet?

What's not to understand? In certain situations you're given the ability to make decisions, some of which will presumably be affected by your party's skills and stats. You choose, something happens, you continue on.

It's still a WIP, so the icons will likely change. A nice nod to the legacy, though.

Characters are fully 3D polygonal, the backgrounds are polygonal meshes covered in simple textures and then painted over to provide more detail, as seen here:
