KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

[covr]

I like that map screen, very cosy, '90's vibe with a bit of Baldur's Gate 1. I hope that new module would be more open world, more low level adventure without +30 long swords lying on every corner.

while the isometric character sprites he added to appease the whiners are just ugly as hell

He just went for that isometric shovelware look

 

[Dickie]

Those pics look quite a lot better than Augury, though the isometric perspective bothers me because tokens will look weird on it, while the isometric character sprites he added to appease the whiners are just ugly as hell.

I really liked and still prefer the flat paper maps and tokens, but hopefully this will make him some more money.

I don't think so. People that care for this kind of stuff will find this ugly and will not bother to find out about the gameplay.

So I installed 1.64. Game is unplayable, massive stutter in menu, task manager says game uses 99% of processor.

Nah, previous version was silk smooth.
If I quit game the exe is still on the task manager eating 99%, can be only terminated there. :'|

I have a new updated version of the Hearkenwold Adventure Module available, using the latest 1.64 build of Knights of the Chalice 2. The file can be downloaded here:

Hearkenwold

There are three primary purposes for this update as follows:

• Continues the main adventure, introducing a new desert town called Sinestra
• Adds a Psionic themed adventure, which also functions as an alternate guild quest for psionicist player characters
• New wilderness locations introduced along the River Astar with associated content

Altogether there are dozens of new maps, enemies and items that further expands the campaign.

For anyone who has not yet played the module, Hearkenwold is designed as an open-ended campaign constructed from many different adventures set against the backdrop of an underlying narrative. Here is a preview screenshot from the new content:

I played around a little bit, but not with the updated Steam version. I messed with 1.00 version, lel. This is never leaving my PC.

Pricing his game at a more reasonable sum would make him more money. I told him as much by email and his response was... "Ok you're right I'll do some sales in the future!"

No, Pierre, not sales.
Reduce the base price to something like 19,99€ at the most, or 14,99€, more in line with what other indie games in this genre have.
But no, that's still at 39,99€ which is more than any other indie RPG I ever played.

Pierre just doesn't understand business.

 

[Abu Antar]

€15 is underselling, imo. €20 seems good, with €10 sale every now and then.

 

[Desiderius]

He should charge 500 euro.

He should charge 500 euro.

He should charge the first healthy son.

And a kidney! I'm big on human organ futures.

Especially since more people means more modules which means more sales. A game like this thrives with a big community.

Keep pushing him, maybe he'll eventually budge.

I paid that much and it was worth it.

Your average player wouldn't pay that, though.

Not much future in them organs once you take them out. Pain to put back too.
