The problem is complaining about it.

The problem is complaining about it.

The dungeon is literally disconnected with the Rest of the game. It's only there because the developer figures RPG therefore dungeon. It's totally out of sync with the game

 

[Viata]

The problem in this case is because the developer has no fucking idea what he should be doing. That is what happens with people that has no manager, they need someone to tell them what they should be focusing. The 3D was totally unneeded and it even makes the game worse. It's not the dungeon that is out of sync, it's the dev that has no fucking idea what he should focus on.

The team is assembled:

This week I have the privilege of introducing you to another team member on Archmage Rises: Emily! Emily comes with 4+ years of experience doing 3D art on action games shipped on PC, XBox, and Playstation. She’s been working on Archmage for a few months already, but I hadn’t introduced her yet.

The team currently working hard to bring you Archmage Rises is:
Michel - programming
Daniel - programming
Rogier - 2d/concept art
Emily - 3d art

I’m excited to have team I need to finish the game!

[Tom Baker's Arse]

Holy mother of pearl - will this game NOW actually be completed ? Can we see the light at the end of the fucking tunnel ?

 

[Tom Baker's Arse]

Henshull wastes half of the update blowing on about teaching game dev at college, has nothing to fucking do about Archmage Rises. Emily is easy on the eyes tho.

Guys, guys, I have a great idea. I'll make the best RPG ever made, with everything from world simulation and choice and consequence to 3D dungeons and religion system and what not, and I'll assemble a team of teenagers to help me do it. Anyone who watches sunday morning cartoons knows that a team of teens can do anything – look at Scooby Doo, for example. I'll teach them all I know and give you regular updates on what great people they are, it's gonna be great.

Remember all those great games you played when you were young your dad played before you were born?

I apologize for how long 3D dungeons have taken. It’s been all of 2019. Oops. But they do look nice.

For this last update of 2019 I show you a tiny slice of what Daniel and Michel have been working on. We’ve solved the dungeon generation performance issue and now are in the final tweaking and polishing phase. Rogier is even getting involved again by doing some concept art for Emily to model.

I started this year working alone on the game. I end with Daniel, Michel, and Emily all helping me finish this crazy indept procedurally generated living breathing world mage simulator.

Adventures are always better with friends!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Archmage Rises team!

Wake me when it is done.

Wake me when it is done.

You're talking Rip Van Winkle levels of sleep here boyo.

I just had the worst thought - what if this title is absolute shite when its released ? I'd have watched that walking horseshit-machine Henshull in all those videos - for nothing.

 

[Viata]

Tbh, it's been a long time since I saw any new video that made me want to play this game. Somewhere along the way even the dev forgot what he wanted to make.

 

[Space Satan]

That's why noone appreciates the wisdom of Tynan Sylvestr - to release what you can in early early alpha and then build upon what you have with the feedback from players.

 

[Nutria]

Yeah, even going back to Sid Meier, that's something he always emphasized. Get a playable prototype out early and build on that.

 

[Brancaleone]

Ok, seeing the way the situation of Archmage Rises has evolved, I'd say we need a brand new Fremdscham tag.

We are real close on pulling together all the 3D dungeon tech into a playable build. Before we do the full build release of the dungeons, we are going to do a test build for system performance and see how the dungeons work on your computer. We may need to do some optimizing.

These dungeons have been a long time coming. Normally I do a “year in review” update in Jan but I don’t see a point until we get a build out. So stay tuned for that.

The team is working hard to get this game done and with the quality you deserve!
