Aaand we are funded! :)

Now off to reach those stretch goals!

Fantastic!

We just reached the first stretch goal, a language pack for: Italian, German, Russian, French, Spanish and Polish.

There's also now advanced moddability support, with this Stretch goal included.

The next stretch goal will be the mysterious Rillow Race.

I am getting increasingly concerned about this whole campaign. As a backer I have access to the comment section, so made a comment along those lines yesterday. I had expected a good deal more information to have come out by now, and also gameplay videos that show more than essentially what was shown 2 years ago in a similar video.

Still almost two weeks to go of the campaign, but if they don't show more real content/updates that gives me more reason to trust them, there is a real chance I will cancel my pledge (looks like this is possible).

According to the campaign they are roughly a year away from release. If that is correct, they should be able to show a great deal more than they have so far.

Right now I'm thinking "this sounds fishy".

Think they might be trying to pull this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WCFUGCOLLU

Don't know about that, but it's possible. Things don't really add up I think, and I'm starting to wonder what's really going on. But we'll see. For now I'm a backer because I liked the concept and love (real) RPG games. Towards the end of May I'll make a call whether to pull out or not. Depends what they show between now and then.

We just reached our second Stretch goal: the mysterious rillow race. :)

No real content in the updates so far (just a paragraph here and there with generic ideas), so I have pretty much decided to pull out of this one. Don't trust them. I see this comment from the official account in their comments, though, so I'll probably wait a day and see what may happen.

The facebook post hasn't seen many shares lately but we will mention in the next update (dialogue-heavy gameplay video!) so hopefully more people will learn about it.

The way I see it, they're either lying through their teeth about the game being almost finished, just needing some more funds for the last year, or it's the worst-run kickstarter campaign that I have ever come across.

The next crpg hit eh? Bit exaggerating to say that.
Not much going on though. I don't know. There are so called developers who also came with a game and it turned out to be a scam.
No, for me the next crpg hit will be Mount & Blade II: Bannerlords from Taleworlds. They make at least progress and do inform people what is going on. You can also take an example to IronTower, the guys behind The Age of Decadence. It was their first game and yet they informed people from time to time.

I don't know what you are up to, either you're a troll or just outright paranoid, they provided already more than any other developer on kickstarter, remember Pillars of Eternity 1, they had hardly anything to show, and yet they gave us one of the best rpg's since the last decade.

Did you only pledge to that project (cause i saw your comment on the kickstarter page) so you can spread your doubts, if you can't trust people at all, then maybe you should just restrain yourself from backing projects.

I also get that some healthy skepticism is good, but your's is just outright unfair.

Why don't you just relax yourself and see what the future holds up for that project, i'm sure there will be much much more to show in the next days.

Christ on a bike. Show some healthy skepticism, and I'm far from alone in being skeptical about this project going by some other sites (basically anywhere you find talk about the game), and I'm suddenly labelled a troll and unfair.

I said I would hold off a little to see what this video would reveal, and as suspected it doesn't reveal much. A new small area we hadn't seen before at least, but the rest is as before, and there are heaps and heaps of features from the game that they haven't shown or said a word about yet. If the game is as close to being finished as they claim, a lot of these things will be reasonably fleshed out by now. Such as character generation, leveling up, party management, skill trees, and so forth.

I started out being optimistic and hopeful for this project, and hoped and expected they would back up their words by showing the game's features and that it was in a reasonably well-developed stage. They have not done this. The bottom line is that I don't trust them. If the game is ever finished and released, there is the option of buying it.

But for now I will pull out of this one.

Even made a thread about this game back when, intending to collect info on it and such, as I was hopeful it could turn into something good. Water under the bridge now.

I've pulled out.

... and I just increased my pledge. Their new video looks awesome and has beautiful music.

Haha. Presumably you were one of the people calling me a troll and rival company PR guy (no idea who this is supposed to be) on there just now?

Pretty sad that it's not allowed to show some skepticism when things simply don't add up. Of course I hope I am wrong and may well then purchase the game, but I have a bad gut feeling about this, and the campaign has not removed it, only made it worse. Which is why I pulled out.

Kinda wish I could respond to the ad hominem attacks on there, but since I'm no longer a backer I cannot. Probably pointless anyway given the strong fanboyism in the posts. Would be nice to have an adult conversation about matters, but this is the internet and such common real-life practices are far and few between.

Well I, for one, do understand your trepidation. It's a brand new company with no real track record. I'm choosing to look at the things you're concerned about as just inexperience in this sort of money-raising venture. I backed the game and will keep my pledge in the campaign, though. I backed enough to get the actual game, so we'll see what comes of it. This game was given a shout out by one of the other devs I've backed (can't recall which one offhand, but it was one I have faith in), so I'm comfortable enough to let my pledge ride.
