whoa 5 pages , 80% trolls but 20% supporters, but I'll take what I can get ;D thx 20%!
To answer a few questions:
* There is no "actual" fighting in this game in a traditional sense - it's a "social deduction" genre game. Your objective is to find who you can trust and dispose of the rest. So you do kill if others, but not in the sense that you'd think. It's a social manipulation game with 100+ abilities you can use to either kill people off or trick them into doing something to get themselves killed.
* I only charged broker fee for that one guy because he's nub and was really fun to see him QQ ;D still mad! But in all seriousness, I really did sell for that other guy. He'd let me keep a %. I almost made as much as middle-manning Skyshrine spell runs when Velious first came out.
* Made with Unity engine. We're one of the first to use their new multiplayer engine, "UNET", commercially.
* The voiceover was inexpensive, but I thought he was pretty badass. I'd hire him again for a minor role.
* Yep this took a lot of effort - I guess good things happen when my wife yells at me to take an EQ break O__o *awkward silence*
* There are many games that were similar, but really weak (like a CS/SC mod) -- all based on the 1986 werewolf/mafia genre. This is hopefully a "flagship" spinoff rather than a cheap knockoff. Ubisoft just came out with a "werewolf" game "Werewolves Within" that's also a spinoff. They're VR only and no chat. Looks awesome, but I imagine spoiled (HTC Vive = $800) 10-year old kids yelling on top of each other.
* Square Enix has a "collective" program that sponsors tons of people. We ended up skipping it because it takes 6-8 months for them to help you, IF approved, and I've already quit my job. Now or never.
So the
Kickstarter =
January 9th. 2 keys for $10. But PM me and I'll give
beta keys away (alpha = kickstarter perk).
Someone elsewhere asked about some EQ inspirations. We went with 'Murkan badass artstyle inspired by EQ for almost all of our portraits. We put 1 God so far in our game, Mithras. I bet you can guess where the inspiration came from:
