Yup, that's how much it took. The game has been in development for over 5 years now which is not something we are very proud of. But that's normal when one is trying to make a big game with a small team. Anyway, the release is finally in sight
Anyone played - any comments on ai or game in general ?

Congrats, Aterdux. It has seemed like a long time. Looking forward to playing it.
Can't claim to have really played it. I've been waiting for the release. But I messed around with the beta when it was first released to Kickstarter backers. It looked to have plenty of potential even way back then.

Been playing the game for over a year now and saw it evolve quite a bit. I really enjoy it... but you have to expect it's more a strategy game that a typical rpg. Cool and original setting, it's far more realistic-medievalish than what we are used to in a fantasy game.

Some people complain our game is not strategic enough
I would describe it more as RPG with tactical combat. Right now we say it's RPG with elements of strategy to attract people who like strategies too. I am curious why do you think it's more a strategy game? Maybe we already lost a sight of what we are doing

Sorry, didn't play Blackguards yet. RPG-to-strategy ration is a bit higher if comparing to King's Bounty because we have castles that can be captured or lost.

Then close this window and start installing it. King's Bounty 1 and 2 are masterpieces (3 and 4 not so much).
Think my boss wouldn't like me installing games on this workstation.
I already "tried" to play it, but unfortunately I can't overlook the colorful cartoony visuals. That might sound shallow, but I just can't enjoy games looking like this.

Then maybe someone else here can report on RPG-to-strategy ratio. As I said, our game is heavy on story and tactics and rather easy on strategy...
I'll try it anyway (in fact I just noticed that I've already bought it), but perhaps this information could help others to decide if they'll buy it or not.

I think we won't make much push to press before the full release. And if we knew what makes people buy our game we would have done it long ago It's more or less a mystery to us and before the release we will rewrite our presentation one more time I think.

Will there be a Legends of Eisenwald 2? and if so, what changes are you already planning or considering for it? and I'm assuming if it happens that you'll use kickstarter again?
EDIT: nevermind, I see you sort of answered the same question in another thread
