New Kickstarter: Umbra
Re: New Kickstarter: Umbra
Looks nice and fun and all, but it's still kickstarter. Which might just mean that all the promises make they to the individual crowdfunders are worth nothing when some big publisher comes with the big $$.

might still be better than Skyrim and its broken promises!lysol wrote:Looks nice and fun and all, but it's still kickstarter. Which might just mean that all the promises make they to the individual crowdfunders are worth nothing when some big publisher comes with the big $$.
Re: New Kickstarter: Umbra
But you didn't have to pay for skyrim before the game was released and reviewed. The game would have been released even if no one pre ordered.
And yeah, sure it might. And it might also not be. Who knows? I wouldn't compare them anyway since skyrim's not a hack and slash game.
EDIT: Just want to say that it does look very nice. I've just had a few let-downs on crowdfunding projects.

Re: New Kickstarter: Umbra
it certainly feels like one, after a bit. the roleplaying component really dumbs down.lysol wrote:But you didn't have to pay for skyrim before the game was released and reviewed. The game would have been released even if no one pre ordered.

I'm biased, however, not only I've followed this project since 2013 but I also have been a developer consultant for two years now.
Re: New Kickstarter: Umbra
I see. Again, I've nothing against this project at all. In fact, and as I've already said, it looks very nice on the trailers. I was just discussing crowdfunding projects in general, but I'll shut up for now.
Personally, I would call skyrim an "action game with role playing elements", not a hack and slash. There's just too few enemies to slaughter in skyrim to be a hack and slash IMO.

Re: New Kickstarter: Umbra
Someone interested in backing?
Re: New Kickstarter: Umbra
I really like the look of the game, reminds me a lot of the Dungeon Siege series. Would love another game like that, still play both DS: LoA and DS2 with friends every now and then.
I don't have any money to give to a project though, regardless of how good it seems.

Re: New Kickstarter: Umbra
