I think we should all do our own kickstarters and see who gets the most with their pitch. Then we go full bore supporting that weiner. I mean winner.

It's like a very elaborate poll. There are probably some very legal problems we could land ourselves into.

Ok, so nighttime=daytime. With such a minor difference, why bother at all.

Think anyway who has over 100 post and they are all in this thread should be removed

Same here. This shouldn't even be a criticism, especially since we know they'll add their own touches for branding and marketing purposes later.

Nobody has made an MMO with unity. No clue what the netcode will be like for that many people concurrently. The art assets are fine sure. All the fanboys said they are writing it all and doing all the art from scratch. That isn't the case. Doesn't mean Unity will be a bad choice.

They should have made a flyby video and not a screenshot.

Lol.

I edited my original post with this:

I always wanted to get to the point where people can make their own MMOs from stock assets like old school MUDs. There's money in that I'm sure of it. I used to build MUDs back in the day. I even built a dragonlance MMO from scratch, I had done the whole world and plenty of zones. I think I build the Tower of Whatever (big paladin area? I can't remember DL very well) and had some cool scripted encounters. Ooooh memories. I think I was 17.

I would love to get back into it. I love building things. Need more amateur dev tools/network tools for us kids.

If they posted a completely black screenshot, what would people have said? Besides, it could have been taken through the eyes of an elf...

Piffle. You are just scared I'd do a better pitch then you with my unity art assets.

I want to be in charge of making boob physics.

Now I don't actually know how to code that shit, or anything more complicated than a simple if/else switch, so I'll need an assistant. But that's departmental budgets and someone elses headache. The importance of this launch feature cannot be over stated, and I feel like I'm the right man for the job.

The nameplate for my office should read: "Iannis, FBI Director"

I can code, but I'll be better as the gameplay design lead.

No thanks! I mean we all loved EQ back in 2000, but the game you are pitching is like EQ on steroids. I want more EQ ish with some modern flavor. You want to push us back into stone age of mmos.

One of the parts of other funded KS projects I've noticed is the lower 'investment' fees being offered. Kingdom Come has cheaper options as did Pathfinder, and a few others posted on here. Probably the biggest reason some KS'ers get funded is the price is right. Who cares if the game isn't amazing if you only put in $20-25 into it? This game so far has offered some decent value but a lot of the options are not overwhelming. This KS was very poorly started but there's still a month left.

Dumar is a psycho anyway. He wants a game where he can cut people's heads off and story them in a chest under his bed.

A better update, for sure. I like the look of the area, but it's hard to tell with such tiny screenshots. Still, better than previous days.

uLink netcode middleware for Unity. Supports zones out of the box:

Set up several game servers, one for each zone in an MMO world. Use the uLink features to transfer player's characters or NPCs between game servers. Use encrypted network traffic between clients and servers to make secure in-game transactions (for example trading virtual items).

I'll admit since he's going box price plus sub , I would think anyone donating 20+ should have box price of the game included. It's a digital download , more customers you get now means funding for the KS and more potential subs. Was surprised to see that wasn't a given for every tier.

Got a link to an MMO using it? Any kind of statistics on concurrent players?

I'm sorry Brad, you've lost me. Aside from the concept art, everything about this project better resembles the planning of a Dikumud on a 90s message board than a pitch for a 2017 MMORPG.

After this project and Vanguard, I now wonder if all this is also true:

The Safehouse Forums - View Single Post - McQuaid Calls it Quits

I didn't believe it at the time. I didn't even believe it after Sigil. Now it just makes sense. Moving on. Sorry for what I've done to these dead horses. I still hope Pantheon happens - please prove me wrong!

That's pretty harsh. Though sadly somewhat believable if you combine the Sigil stories with this current kickstarter debacle.

That thread alone is an amusing read just for some of the comments made in 2001 "You think EQ will be around in 10 years?" lol
