Company News Beamdog appear to have been working on an isometric Weird West RPG

[thesheeep]

Lol Beamdog Kickstarter would struggle to get $100k. Everybody hates them.

I know it is filthy, but you might want to have a look outside this forum every once in a while.
They are definitely not universally despised.

Looks cool. Why did they cancelled this?

No one willing to fund it, most likely.

Should've just asked Codex for funding. "OLDSKOOL BUT NEW", easy thousands. God knows we have many suckers here.

 

[Haba]

it is old old
but new
but still old

I'm willing to despise them on behalf of the rest of humanity solely for the incompetence that is including a penis tree center frame in what was to be part of their "pitch" to actual business investors.

I wish that shit didn't just fucking vaporize when people can't finish a project. At least release the assets if you're not going to use them. "Look at this cool shit that you'll only ever see once!"

FWIW this may had turn-based combat if this image is from the same game:

I wonder if they were planing on being inclusive with npc sexuality.

Wasn't the setting Quier West?

Good find Infinitron .. On one of their more recent streams they mentioned that one of the projects isn't cancelled.. they are shopping around for a publisher. (I assume this is the David Gaider one, but I can't be sure)

At least that's how I interpreted it.

So the Tally is:

- Project 1 : Infinity Engine Support
- Project 2 : Sekret Project in Development
- Project 3 : NWN:EE Support
- Project 4 : Skeret Project Shopping for Publisher Support
- Project 5??? : Baldurs Gate Anime Highschool Game (It was an Aprils Fool joke, but they published a google survey asking if people enjoyed it and what heros they would like to see in that type of game.. wat)

On one of their more recent streams they mentioned that one of the projects isn't cancelled..

They probably referred the multiplayer strategy game for browser that seemingly actively in development. Many hints (domain names by Trent Oster, "leak" in web page source code, and interview by WotC head) indicate it's an adaptation of Axis & Allies.

Inb4 they decide to buy deadlands IP and repurpose the assets to make that game instead.

 

[Bohr]

Has there been any open talk of what they will 'enhance' in future? (Wondering where it will end, in all honesty)

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Lionheart I imagine.

 

[Immortal]

Arcanum

Too bad!

I don't know, if they'd gone all out with David Gaider, namedropped BG2 and Dragon Age, with lots of endorsements from Obsidian etc...they could have gotten a chunk of cash, no? Not enough to make the game, but maybe enough to convince a publisher to come on board.

For this, Obsidian would require them to do a Figstarter.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Why would Obsidian endorse these parasites? All of the owners are old BIS guys and they're probably not too happy about some hacks profiting from old Interplay catalogue.

Everyone knows they are going to do Fallout next.

 

[Farewell into the night]

Everyone knows they are going to do Fallout next.

I can feel this. Fallout: Enhanced Edition, woa...

 

[Anomander Rake]

okay, get ready, there are going to be the next remastered games.

Arcanum
NWN 2 + NWN 2 MOTB
DUNGEON SIEGE

I doubt they share the Codex's aggression toward the concept.
