Sounds like baby's first game where he decided to cram in every little idea he ever had, regardless of how difficult it would be to implement, and automatically thinks it meshes all together. "Instructor" at a lovely for-profit and 3 years of microsoft development. Solid loving background to develop "The most dynamic and immersive MMO to date"

I gotta be fair to these guys, they're at the very least capable of developing assets. Programming is easy. I'm just not quite sure how well this will all mesh together.

At the very least, it'll be a pretty looking game with very flawed mechanics. Best case scenario, they are able to sort out what works, what doesn't work, what is fun and what isn't.

Developing static models and settings isn't very difficult compared to coding this mess together. If any design goons could take a look, it seems that all the menus and text was added on to the image. I would look further into this if I believed they were going to make it past 2017. Making an mmo of this scale with 2 people is insane.

"As for combat systems, all we know is that they will be using Motion Capture for the animations, and Inverse Kinetics (something like that). No Tab Targeting or Hotbars. The game blends Player and Character skill."

A TWO-person studio is using motion capture with inverse kinematics in a mmo...

Better look at the combat. Looks really Souls-esque

It does. Go look at the third person Kings Field (what became DeS) combat prototypes.

ah man, that generic-type combat does not compare to dark souls 3 right now. Souls can get away with it's nice feel for combat because it doesn't rely on trying to be an mmo(:words: server architecture :words:). I can guarantee that this team cannot pull off a souls-esque feel in their mmo, because no-one can. I hope I'm wrong eventually because it would be kickass. Dark Souls feels responsive with everything you do, there'll be some moments where it doesn't go well but generally it works because your actions are instant. It just won't feel the same in a client-server environment.

I'm consistently amazed at how there wasn't a resurgence of sandbox MMOs after the success of Minecraft and games like Day-Z.

Have you looked at steam or the threads in this forum. Half of them are sandbox. The sandbox market is over-saturated. I'm gonna say you made a mistake in getting rid of overwatch(open beta right now) for something that won't see the light of day till 2020.

Buddy of mine has gone in for one of the 2.5k packages. I think he's nuts but I think we could have a fun time in the game if we all join the 3 month Exposition to get a head start and then wreck havoc at launch.

This is not a long term game, but I think it's something the Goons can influence and have some fun in for a few months before the inevitable destruction.

House of Goons now has a presence on the SA discord.

Can OP add the link to the Discord/forum post?

Do we have any decent artists up in here? Need to create a sig template/house sigil. Seems to be the norm over there.

Figured I did alright using one of those Game of Thrones house generators


I've seen you supporting every terrible crowd-funded game. Is everything okay? Kid's help phone is a 24/7 free service that can help you when you just need someone to talk to man.
