This looks really cool. I'm intrigued. Any ETA? This is a brilliant design because it keeps the economy alive and keeps progression going pretty much all the time. Holy gently caress. This is sounding like the best features of various role playing gamemodes found in Garry's Mod and Altis/Cherno Life from ARMA. If they can deliver on this, they have something extremely special on their hands. quote:Identity Alexander DeLarge fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Nov 9, 2015 |

jabro posted:I started getting a huge Mortal Online vibe as I read the OP. Not a good thing. Games that are ambitious as hell usually have one outcome. Mortal Online is a product of its time. Began development in 2005, released closed beta in 2008 while competing against Age of Conan. I mean, their combat model was optimized for DSL connections and dual core hardware. I'm sure if Mortal Online were being developed now, it would be much more in line with what people expect when they say "we're using the M&B combat model!"

Hammerstein posted:Oh look, a new mmo from an unknown developer, promising all the things nerds love. Where's the button to preorder my $200 Collector's Edition ? That's coming in like two or three months. Kickstarter. I said come in! posted:The screenshots remind me of Archage where they are 100% bullshots and the actual gameplay will look no where close to that good. Anyways this game isn't going to work, the style of gameplay the devs are going for is not what keeps people interested in MMOs, this title is going to bomb hard like all of the other sandbox MMOs before it. To be fair, we haven't seen a proper sandbox game since Galaxies. Darkfall was basically the equivalent of a child going "AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN" when every reasonable person looked at it and said "yeah, this isn't a good design". Mortal Online was promising, if it were to be released now but there's no way they could have done the M&B-style active combat justice in a time where most people were still on laughable connections. The tech just wasn't there for 2010. So yeah, the last actually released sandbox game we got was 2010? It deserves a couple more tries. Albion looks like it'll be quite successful and I'd consider that a decent to good example of one. Alexander DeLarge fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Nov 28, 2015 |

I gotta be fair to these guys, they're at the very least capable of generating content. Programming is easier than producing something visual that someone else has in their head so I'm not worried about the prototype. I'm just not quite sure how well this will all mesh together, especially on a larger scale. 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. Alexander DeLarge fucked around with this message at 11:30 on May 4, 2016 |

The greater evil here is not having a game like this exist at all. I'd imagine their offline demo will be used to promote the Kickstarter campaign too so I'll get to see if I like what's been done so far beforehand. Crowdfunded sandbox games have generally delivered/are delivering on what's been promised. Black Desert/ArcheAge were shitshows because they were something else entirely until the Korean market didn't like it and they took a complete 180 on the design.

Better look at the combat. Looks really Souls-esque https://twitter.com/SoulboundStudio/status/723888441184911361 lemonslol posted:My theory is that games like this--if they happen to ever come out of beta--fail because they are too big for their population. In my opinion, if the world wasn't supposed to be " largest game ever (TM)" with "Best features ever made (TM)". but, instead, just a solid game; maybe a small world, and a core set of features and then the game would expand if people even enjoyed it. This is why Shards is looking really good.

Kickstarter is today... But I figure you guys might be interested in this. Subject to change but these are the Kickstarter tiersquote:$5 Tier 0 Contributor / Donation Tier. Includes a Forums Award indicating your support Since I cancelled my pre-order of Overwatch, I'll dump some money into this. Doubting they can do $900,000 unless they have an amazing presentation... but then again, Star Citizen happened and Pantheon almost happened so who knows. No harm in pledging my intended amount.

Martman posted:Thank god, none of those lovely standard MMO quests. Instead I can take out a contract with another player... to walk somewhere... and pick up 10 potions... and bring them back? But now I have the threat of legal action against me if I breach my contract! Yay! At least that has the potential for some interesting player interaction. Not to mention how the potions are acquired (bartering with actual players, crafting them yourself, stealing from a shop at night after hours). Now imagine a scenario where you're picking up potions for some group of players preparing for some sort of Guild v Guild battle, rival guild has made a deal with the town herbalist/alchemist/whatever, they go into battle, arrows come flying, they're all hurt, take a swig of the potion, and they start dropping like flies. Point is, it's infinitely more involved than the modern MMO.

Ashrik posted:Nominate Alexander DeLarge for thread mascot I should have elaborated. Programming is easier than producing something visual that someone else has in their head. I've worked with artists before and I compare it to watching someone play a video game and getting frustrated because you know what you want to do, but you can't do it. Especially working with UE4, having some difficulty implementing a feature? You have access to paid support by the people who actually made the engine, tons of documentation and source access. I'd rather be a project's programmer because other role have no such recourse. Being a 3D modeler/concept artist sucks because you're at the mercy of someone else's vision and ability to communicate abstract ideas, especially in fantasy. The problem with the offline prototype is that they can literally do anything they want, because it's offline but that's not accounting for networking dictating certain things that are feasible, and not feasible in a large open environment filled with thousands of other people. That's why I'm still skeptical of the combat. At the end of the day, you're dealing with an authoritative server controlling the numbers and positioning.

Martman posted:Nah, point is, all of that is made up and imaginary. Because it's a fundamentally different premise. If you compare Pantheon or some of the prototypes from other AAA themeparks, you can see that they're going for something completely different. Focusing on quests and zones and dungeons. You're going from a genre which is primarily "you are the hero, now go do the content we've given you, collect 10 boar assholes" to "alright, here's a world, go do stuff, here are a bunch of mechanics that provide meaningful player interaction organically and there's some dungeons/quests we made here and there". I'm not saying that the potion scenario exists right now, but it certainly could happen if these guys aren't scumbags and don't run off with the money. I really do think these guys are a bunch of frustrated neckbeards that are sick of waiting for the industry to catch up to what people actually want. I'm consistently amazed at how there wasn't a resurgence of sandbox MMOs after the success of Minecraft and games like Day-Z. The only games that actually exist that are comparable are EVE/Galaxies/UO and that sort of tampered goods scenario was certainly possible in those games so I don't think it's PR speak at all to expect ~emergent gameplay~ Wish I could say that this is the first million+ dollar attempt at that sort of game since the early 2000s but it's the second due to Pathfinder Online. Probably shouldn't count Shroud of the Avatar because who the gently caress knows what that is, I don't think Portalarium could answer that themselves. I didn't think Pathfinder had a viable business model or a promising Kickstarter at all, relied far too heavily on the IP it was based on and there were a lot of bad rumors surrounding the project at that time, not to mention it was based on Unity engine in 2012 and that's a red flag entirely on its own.

Shadowlz posted:We are not very far from people honestly just buying ideas. At least for now they attempt to make it. What makes you think that it's bigger than a AAA title, or even *insert content driven themepark here*? I'd imagine a sandbox where it's just a bunch of mechanics and a world to interact with those mechanics would require a fraction of the time/budget. Look at Gorgon, that's done by a guy and his wife for $75,000. I hate comparing these types of sandbox titles to survival games but survival games are the same premise. You're dropped into a world, given a bunch of mechanics to work with, go off and do stuff. Basically this is a more fleshed out version of Ark and Ark was able to get out a fleshed out build in about 7 months. By the time this hits alpha in Q1 2017, this will have been in development for over a year and a half. Look at Daniel Vavra's new game Kingdom Come: Deliverance, that's a Elder Scrolls-esque RPG with a bunch of similar mechanics but they're doing a fully voiced world, huge 20+ hour campaign with tons of side content created by hand (easily doubling or even tripling the amount of work/funding required) and that was funded in early 2014 and that's on track for a full release this year. Seems reasonable when you put it under that kind of perspective.

Ziji posted:About to grab one of the tiers out of sheer curiosity, but I'm not sure how I feel about having to buy a new "life" for $30 every so often. I quite like it tbh, assuming you actually value your life, you're gonna be paying $2.50 on average a month. You treating yourself as disposable? Shortened lifespan. Get imprisoned? You're screwing yourself on your current/next life due to prison skill loss on your current character leading to less of a skill gain buff on your soul. Keeps all parts of the economy alive. Keeps low-tier/mid-game content alive too (this kills every MMO ever). Provides the devs with a decent stream of revenue without nickel and diming people on cash shop nonsense. Doesn't even give them the chance to gently caress up the business model. Also, I have a feeling it's gonna lead to a sense of empathy knowing what it's like to start over since they did it recently too, even if they've been playing for five years.

This is why I really like Shards and Rel Por, it's small enough to sustain a community of that size. Galaxies would have been infinitely better if they focused on a single highly detailed planet versus a couple ones with "focus areas" and dead space between. Also the urban sprawl in that game was loving awful.
