Guys, I think Scott Adams and whoever that cread mefford chap is might be in danger, possibly held at gunpoint....

Whoa! Ad right now Romancing the III Kingdoms 8 REMAKE! I don't think I ever romanced any kingdom.

Kinda feels like a flashback to 2016. Game looks good and not far from finished. Just a little bit time and money needed! Gibe moneyz now pleas

Well, that does sound like the true Lord British experience, to be fair.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Exactly what I was thinking.

I was just checking my Kickstarter pledges and I didn't even remember backing this, but I did. Oh well. At least we have Skald now.

Not only SKald, but also Realms of Antiquity and Nox Archaist.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Skald still has some issues.

 

[shilence]

All games have issues when compared to the almighty Unknown RealmTM

3 excellent games, so there needs to be a dud to counterbalance the universe

The game has ED atm. You don't want premature satisfaction do you? Come on. This is all foreplay for the HUGE RELEASE! You'll get your money-shot... be patient. Stroke that anticipation. Massage and milk those massive screenies for all their worth. Oh yeah! Feels good hmmm..??

A delayed game is eventually good, but a non-existent game is forever flawless.

Very impressed that people who reached the age of senility like this game. I hope SD can get us the opinion of Nolan Bushnell next time.

To be fair, quite a few of us who still care about Ultima-likes are not far from that target demographic either.

(afterthought: And by the time this is released, we will probably be smack in the middle of that demographic...)

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Vrooom vrooom....

There's still stuff like this released nowadays: https://www.indieretronews.com/
Just hardly any RPG.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I love indie but I really wish some of the oldies got a fresh remake like the ColecoVision Gateway to Apshai or the entire Dunjonquest lineup or the old PLATO computer games. Nothing too fancy just a few QOL to run smooth on modern setups. Once in a while this happens like for a few Texas Instrument computer games or Dungeon of Daggorath.

Joke's on you - these are actually all inspired by Unknown RealmTM

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Then all is lost.....

 

[mediocrepoet]

Everyone's so desperate to rip off Unknown Realm that they travel back in time to release their rip offs before it sees the light of day. It's criminal.

It's truly astonishing that Laura is just a tiny fraction away from becoming self aware

Archive will be down for many more days. They say not weeks but who knows.

October update
There are no updates

Except that SDG has a brand-new, truly legit fan with a super fresh account—totally not a fake and definitely not a stalker. Certified zoomer, speaks the lingo and all!

Zoomers love Unknown Realm, that’s basically proof!

If you think this sounds kinda fake, here is ((Tommy)) on the same day:

Haha, yeah.

Also fun, Bruce Tommy is also a bit mean:

warning - mean!

A NEW PLAYER HAS ENTERED THE GAME



Hmm ! Looks oddly familiar. Could this take less than 10 years ?
