KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

[Rpguy]

I went with "forgery" on 1
8 is probably:

malevolence.

 

[Darth Canoli]

I'm quoting this again because after a long discussion with Tiavals we've decided to include quirky companions in the stretch goals.

A Gargoyle companion!

Also, nice map, i guess all the modules will take place in there ?

Spoiler

It's good to be able to revisit the Crimson coast from KotC 1.

Missing Avellone stretch goal.

Yup, but we've got Tiavals and he's really great at writing. We've prepared short backstories for each of the companions, I think you will enjoy reading them.

you sure your stretch goal for 3d models is budgeted right? I'm asking out of sheer curiosity if nothing else.

I think so.

Is the Summoner strech goal a custom class or adapation of the PF class? The token based art style would actually allow for PF's summoner (and its granting creatures new limbs ect.) to be implemented in a video game without excessive effort.

The Summoner class is a custom class. During the Kickstarter period, there will be detailed updates for each of the new classes: Spell Weaver, Summoner and Necromancer.

The KotC 2 Summoner and Necromancer have their own spell lists.

It's still 3.5e, right?

Yes. OGL 3.5.

I hope there's enough character portraits to go around.

Yup, there are many portraits in the game. The portraits from KotC 1 are also available.

Also, nice map, i guess all the modules will take place in there ?

Thank you! Yes, all the modules will take place in there.

Launching in only 38 hours now!! The time is drawing ever so nigh! Might have to look at the soothing images of roots soon! :D

Thank you for your interest and support everyone!

 

[Bara]

Pierre any word from gog since their last email?

My hope at this point the reason why its taking so long is that they can release kotc1 on their platform the same time your kickstarter goes up so more eyes can be sent towards it.

So if sprites goal is reached, will this done module receive this graphic update or only new modules?

Good question, also reminds me i didn't ask you why there isn't any news on KotC steam page & forums about the kickstarter? Every little bit helps.

I can't fucking wait for this game! BRING ON KOTC 2

Only new module since when the kickstarter ends the game get sent to people ( 1 month from now) , possible later on when the new modules gets the graphic update the old one might get updated as well...

 

[Dickie]

Less than 24 hours to go, and I'm still worried this will not happen. I got my money in my hand, and I'm ready. I'm going to cry if it doesn't get to 15k.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

I don't think I've been this excited since I put together that IKEA furniture without injuring myself.

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

Infinitron do you know if we going to have news and campaign for this?

 

[Infinitron]

What do you mean news? There will be a newspost when the Kickstarter launches, obviously.

A Codex fundraiser? Personally I'm not feeling it, but it's not really my call. If you want to do one, ask DarkUnderlord after the campaign reaches its base goal.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

Personally I'm not feeling it

Infinitron hates money. The Knights of the Chalice II Thread.

Hello everyone!

Hope this golden baby flies soon!

Thank you! I will be launching the Kickstarter campaign in 20 hours, come what may!!

Link to the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/project...-the-chalice-2-revolutionise-old-school-crpgs

I am ready to throw money at you throw it at your face! I also expect you will be changing a lot of the games look or graphics after the kickstarter.

Thank you!! Yes, I will definitely improve the game's graphics.

I won't be supporting this as I had planned to if a Steam KotC2 key is not available at a reasonable tier.

You get a Steam Key for KotC 2 Augury of Chaos from the Paladin tier at about 34 dollars. To clarify, my book is not about tax evasion, it's about economics.

Thank you everyone for your support!

 

[Rpguy]

Support the kickstarter, I compel you! :D

 

[Rpguy]

 

[AdolfSatan]

My wallet's ready.
Did he mention anywhere how many different monsters there will be?

 

[Darth Canoli]

Less than 24 hours to go, and I'm still worried this will not happen. I got my money in my hand, and I'm ready. I'm going to cry if it doesn't get to 15k.

If it doesn't get to 50K at least for the sprites, i'm going to sacrifice my neighbor's rabbit.

Hmmm, maybe i should sacrifice the rabbit first ...

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

I suspect KoTC sprite support has potential to be in regardless and the 50k is for new art and supporting code.

KOTC 2 world map.

 

[Rpguy]

For those who liked the Wish granting genie, note the 2nd image - another (evil?) genie!

 

[BlueSalamander]

Pierre any word from gog since their last email?

Yes, I'm talking with GOG. I have to go through the process. I will do it after the campaign.

So if sprites goal is reached, will this done module receive this graphic update or only new modules?

Yes, Augury of Chaos will be updated with the new sprites once they are available.

Good question, also reminds me i didn't ask you why there isn't any news on KotC steam page & forums about the kickstarter? Every little bit helps.

Thank you!! To be honest, I forgot that I could post the KotC 2 news in the KotC Steam Forum. I've just posted something there: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1083760/discussions/0/2254560552307940172/ Better late than never!!

The KotC Steam page, I don't think I can use it to promote the Kickstarter.

Less than 24 hours to go, and I'm still worried this will not happen. I got my money in my hand, and I'm ready. I'm going to cry if it doesn't get to 15k.

Thank you for your support Dickie!

Did he mention anywhere how many different monsters there will be?

There's a huge variety in the enemy races and classes.

Thank you everyone for the great support and see you at the Kickstarter in a bit!!

Now I don't know whether to fund it day 1 or to wait and see if this is a possibility. The codex designing a enemy party could be cool. If it was up to be the enemy leader would be swen as a leader of a cult. You fight him and his cultist generals while a bunch of dirty fence sitters watch the fight and don't participate.
