Indie Call of Saregnar - a Betrayal at Krondor-inspired RPG
- Thread starter Rhuantavan
- Start date
I know...
Played the demo. This is such incline. Like a step back in time to the good days. Can't wait for release.
Thanks bros. Means a lot.
You'll control the whole party consisting of one or more characters, three being the norm. Story will dictate which ones.
Rhuantavan are you planning on having different, for lack of a better word, biomes? You know like krondor had that desert alien world, snowy north, elvandar was heavily forested, stuff like that. Might & Magic also had tons of different terrain.
Yes.
BAK-alike is a thing now. It's official.

Any news on updates and the like? What's going on in the world of Saregnar development currently, and how far along the roadmap to release are you?
Also, any chance of a meatier demo this year, with a couple of hours of playtime and some more spells to play around with?
Whatever I work on, I usually share via patreon, but also twitter. Long story short, recently I took some time to re-evaluate the scope and size of the game and did some cuts here and there. I have reduced the playable world area (which is still large, mind you) and shortened the distances between time to make travel between locations more interesting. For example, running directly from Romar to Avanmoor now takes you approx. 5mins 40s, while it used to be around 9 before. I think nothing of interest was lost in the process, but made the project a bit more manageable size-wise. ETA is when it's done. There are way too many future factors to consider, from me working part/full-time, finding suitable help or not, etc.
Yes! I will release a public demo later this year, which will span the whole prologue of the game, that is, the area between the first two towns, Romar and Avanmoor.

Sounds good; considering you are a one man team doing the coding, and the world is (thankfully!) not procedurally generated and random-seeded, and all encounters are hand-placed this should make things more managable. And since everything is hand placed, making long travel times could end up becoming boring unless you spent a LOT of time filling all that travel time with interesting things for the player.
Public demo sounds like just what I was asking for; I hope you add in more spells for us to play with, both combat and utilitarian (and why not spells that do both?)
By the way, have you considered adding text mini-games/adventures like there are in Kingmaker and Pillars of Eternity? It allows a fast, easier and flavorful way to incorporate skill checks and allows for use of skills like athletics, climbing, etc that is harder to implement in the actual world.
I will add more spells, also plan to add actual "spell aquisition" mechanics in, which are missing.
Textual mini adventures are not hard to implement, so they may yet become a thing. I'll see if the need for them actually arises.

Whenever I want to feel despair about the state of our world, I check out the Patreon pages of various porn games.

25,000 per month

Horrible. While actually ambitious games barely scrape by.

I hear you. Time to add tits.

You jest, but the quickest way to earn the big bucks on Patreon is either broad sexual appeal, or targeting an extremely niche fetish.
I wouldn't be surprised if you actually added sex into the game, and started advertise it as an erotic RPG, you'd start flowing in cash.
