KickStarter The Wayward Realms - upcoming Daggerfall-like RPG from original Elder Scrolls developers

[Lemming42]

Looks like Daggerfall crossed with Dark Messiah. Which is a good thing, I guess. Just surprised to see that they have actually managed to come up with something.

 

[Azdul]

They already got US$54k. I wish their success.

At some point I'm just going to assume people are not pattern-recognizing creatures.

Or ... Know that this has small chance of success but wanna risk anyway.

What they've promised is not impossible to do.

I remember decade ago few guys tried to make Daggerfall inspired project on Ogre 3D engine with 0$ budget - and they've got 'outside' and (clunky) combat working in a few months. Unfortunately in 2008 Ogre 3D didn't have features that it has today - and custom extensions were understood only by the guy who created them.

Once Lost Games are currently at 65 000 $.

Are we going to get a news post Infinitron?
Shall we continue playing in this thread?

 

[0sacred]

is this backed by people who didn't back the first wave of kickstarter disappointments or what

From their own materials, what they "promised" is to use the funding for one year of development so they can find a publisher.

So yeah. I'll say that's not impossible at all.

 

[notpl]

Oh fuck yeah. Underworld Ascendant with procgen quests

 

[Infinitron]

Oh fuck yeah. Underworld Ascendant with procgen quests

The "magic" segment with the skeletons did remind me of that game.

 

[Rudra]

I mean

Futa orcs are based taste honestly

 

[Crispy]

Some nice touches in that video. I like the climbing aspect, I also like some of the funny physics things that are going on, such as the sword somehow pivoting about on the skeleton's shoulders.

Looks good!

 

[Cryomancer]

US$ 135,784 in the first hours of the first day https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oncelostgames/the-wayward-realms/

I wonder if they can reach millions in 30 days.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

I'll donate if they promise to include bear sex.

 

[Rudra]

I'll donate if they promise to include bear sex.

That's well and all, but I'll be very disappointed if there are no futa orcs

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

I'll donate if they promise to include bear sex.

This game is intended to be a spiritual successor to Daggerfall and the Elder Scrolls setting, not to Baldur's Gate and the Forgotten Realms setting.

 

[OttoQuitmarck]

This game is definitely reaching 750k at least

 

[Butter]

Yeah they're easily on pace to meet their goal. That's step 1. Step 2 is actually delivering the EA on time and with the allotted funds. Step 3 will be convincing a publisher to fund the rest of the project, and step 4 will be delivering on it. They can shit the bed anywhere along the way, but I still want to believe.

 

[Vyvian]

I'll donate if they promise to include bear sex.

If you donate enough you can craft your own in-game NPC with full backstory. Be the change you want to see.

 

[HoboForEternity]

The footage looks like bunch of unity assets but there are interesting things in there such as climbing skills and skeleton friendly fire.

I am not giving them a cent, even if i won the lottery but i truly wish them luck.

 

[Lemming42]

Fell asleep on the sofa and for some reason woke up genuinely excited for this for the first time ever. A sudden and unexpected personality shift, like those people who go to bed one day and wake up the next morning only able to speak French. It's still got a way to go and the team have shown themselves to be bumbling cock-obsessed fools but unless that video is obscenely staged, they've actually done it - they've created the groundwork for a new Daggerfall, and they may well be able to bring it to fruition.

I can't wait to give them my money!

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Honestly I am interested but then I went and goes to the VGM Section

So this will mostly be proc-genned stuff? Radiant Quest and Radiant AI?

 

[Gargaune]

Sooo... Minotaur sex?

That sounds amazing. Say, have you heard about Star Citizen?

 

[Gargaune]

This Wayward Realms thing sounds interesting, but that's about as far as it goes for me. I ain't about to jump into another Early "it'll be cool, bro" Access pipedream, let alone a Kickstarter for an Early Access to get a Publisher. If something interesting makes it to release, I'm game, sure, but that's a looong way down the line.

 

[Rudra]

Honestly if this game ends up being Daggerfall 1.5, I'll be plenty happy

There's no game quite like it and a successor would be great

There's three Daggerfall successors currently in development. This one, the one made by the creator of Daggerfall Unity using his own engine and all the knowledge he gained from working on DFU, and another one that was debuted on the Daggerfall Unity Workshop forums. One of them is bound to be decent. It doesn't have to be this one, but this will be the one that receives the most funding so I hope for the best.

 

[Old Hans]

but unless that video is obscenely staged, they've actually done it

it's probably just a bunch of test zones with no actual working systems. I've been around this block before
