Good on you! Hope this didn't slow the game's development down too much. What are you looking at as far as a release date?

Indie Call of Saregnar - a Betrayal at Krondor-inspired RPG
- Thread starter Rhuantavan
- Start date
Naah, I’ve been building web sites for 12 years now. I’ve spent about 10 to 15 hours on it.
Can’t say on a release date. It all comes down to what I can accomplish in the next year’s time. A demo in a year, then it’s all about production stuff.
This looks great, man! I made a similar decision this year to work on my game full-time. It's a lot of work but very satisfying.
BaK is probably my favorite RPG after Fallout 1. I always thought most of that was due to nealiios' amazing prose, but some of these screenshots made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside so there must be more ingredients to the magic of that game. I hope you can capture that. Are you planning on including similar prose-heavy flavor?

Don't believe his lies
Will work towards releasing a demo by then, ok?Release date the next december?
- Demos stop sales to people who want to try your game but won't end up liking it.
- Demos prevent impulse decision sales.
- Demos may delay people who will like your game from making the purchase.
- Let's Plays have become popular and give a game publicity and let's players decide if they want to buy it.
Just some thoughts, I want this game to succeed haha
Haha, I've been through those same thoughts not long ago. I will work towards making a demo, but I have also decided that the demo will only be for game shows, potential publishers, the media, and ultimately for myself. Will definitely work towards producing a high-quality trailer though.

But what about private demos for friends and family, huh, huh? (wink wink)

Hey, long time no update, so I guess one is in order. I've been putting together the shopping system in the last weeks and it's almost complete.
Also, had a meeting with this bunch of ruffians (and another score of them) yesterday, and they've agreed to become the actors for the game. I couldn't be happier about it.

Shader work to add lightmapping support. Here's the result:
The first video devlog I've posted to my Patreon supporters is now available to everyone, so I kindly invite you to take a look at it if you haven't already. It's all about the shoping interface.

Congrats Rhuantavan, you've accomplished your goal.Text, music, art. Everything about this game makes me super nostalgic for BaK.
Thank you guys, then I am on the right path.

Here's a demonstration of real actors placed inside an inn scene. It's only soldiers, as that's what I focused on in the first (test) photoshoot.

Everything looks great dude, it's nice to see someone taking such an endeavour out of love. Can't help with much, but I'll throw a grain of sand towards your patreon; hope you reach your goal soon.
Do you plan on allowing for font switching/scaling? The preset looks great and fits the atmosphere, but I feel like it'll be taxing to read long stretches of text like that.

I thank you very much, every $ takes me nearer independence in developing the game(s).
I find this pixelated font quite easy on the eyes, but I don't see a big problem making an option to switch to a hi-res font. I will be considering this along with some other accessibility options as the project matures.

A quick head's up:
This book features a lot of high quality pictures of pre-classical instruments. The book was first published in 1888 and then reedited in 1921, it's no longer copyrighted.
Colorized pictures of old opera singers in stage garments such as this or these for close-ups might save you the hassle of green-screening larpers.
It's most certainly something that should be last in the order of priorities, but I thought it might be of use to add to the ambiance of some places.

Thank you, will definitely take a look at it! EDIT: There is some REALLY good art in there!
Related, I am making a big photoshoot today for villagers and the three main characters, so there will finally be some portraits in those empty grey placeholders.

This Friday's photoshoot crew. It went extraordinarily well.

I'm deeply concerned by the prevalence of white skinned people in that photograph and screenshots showed so far.
None of those women look like they have a penis either, so I must wonder if Call of Saregnar actually plans to tackle the issue of misrepresented minorities in video games at all. I'm not gonna spend my hard earned dollars in supporting a project doomed from the very beginning by its retrograde leanings.

On a serious note, the costumes look great, good work!
An actual concern based on that screenshot posted way above: no musician would ever place an instrument above a lighted fireplace (or any source of heat/cold for that matter), it'd completely wreak havoc amongst the gut strings and the soundboard.
