And with all these, you really didn't think of "Quest for Maphaldo"?

People claiming this style is niche (when it is implemented at this level of polish) remind me of the people who told Ari Arad that there was just no market for comic book movies and that the studio had agreed even Spiderman One with Toby McGuire would be lucky to clear a 100 million in profit if that.

Apparently Ari told them at that meeting that (he clearly had his finger on the real pulse of the marketplace) that Spiderman alone would easily bring in a billion dollars or more in profit. Even Stan Lee balked at that figure. Not even Stan thought that comic book properties were going to be worth much nowadays.

X-MEN was released in 2000 before and the sort of muted response of the market was pretty predictable given the director was so gay he didn't even use the original costumes and dressed them all up in bondage gear.

When Sam Raimi showed he truly understood the comic book and made the first Spiderman movie, the hysteria that resulted of the fans finally getting to see an actual comic book movie made liars out of everybody in Hollywood. Of course the potential market was colossal beyond belief if you knew what you were doing and did not put a known sodomite in as a director who admitted he actually never read the X-MEN comic book.

I believe it is the same way with blobbers. It only awaits the correct delivery and presentation to bring them back in force and sell a million copies.

Looking at the trailer just now I was thinking this is going to get such buzz before it releases it might sell huge amounts on day one.
But Cleve, you forgot to mention that superhero movies are trash and blobbers are awesome.

The first couple of superhero films were good if you grew up on comic books. By Spiderman 3 they went down the toilet and never came back.

You worry too much about the game's subtitle of all things!
Most players will only remember the main title of the game after all.

To be honest, I think most people will only remember "Maphaldo".
By 2027, no one will remember any titles, and sometimes someone will ask, "What was the name of that game that looked good, like Eye of the Beholder and Wizardry 7? Is it out yet?"

Another repost from X/Twitter.

This time to show how party creation looks like.
You can create and save up to 99 different characters and then select 6 of them from your "character book" to assemble the party.

Another minor suggestion for more sales:

It is probably a good idea to include this or a similar image with a chest on Steam/GOG, considering that the chests are one of the main reasons we play these games:

We are just working on a few caves found early on in the game.
