Their last game took about 2 years after release to be in decent shape, so I wouldn't suggest early access to anyone unless they're an absolute masochist or just loved Legends of Dawn so much that they just can't wait to play a new iteration.

Just visualize Legends of Dawn for a moment - I find that helps. :biggrin:

I'm afraid I will associate Dreamatrix Game Studios only with this pretty lady for the rest of my life... ;)

Well, its not bad for Dreamatrix. Definitely better than associate them with bug-o-rama or infinite bears. ;)

I find it hiilarious that this game was funded primarily by gamer-nerds swayed by an attractive woman doing the sales pitch.......

The first game was garbage......

Looks great and seems to be interesting to get to know.

The game... dunno... I'm not that much into ARPGs.

Looks great, hope they will succeed this time and make it through finally! We need more games from other countries, with their own approach, not only USA or Germany.

Here we go again - c'mon, was she naked or showing off something?

After watching the video, I have one question.. do you need to be a baker to play? Or can you be a blacksmith or mechanic or some other profession. It seems strange to narrow down your consumers to a single baker profession.

Is baking still that big in Europe?

Shes not naked but I think it's pretty obvious. She trying to do various sexy poses and in one shot she even flips here hair and looks back at the camera.

Problem for me is she's not even remotely attractive to me. So their actually going to have to sell me on the game and they haven't done that yet.

You know what, laugh all you want, but I have had access to the game for a few days now (I was a Kickstarter backer), and after sampling it for a couple of hours (like I do with Kickstarter/unfinished games: I play it a bit to get a feel, and then wait for the final release), I actually find it rather fun. Enough that I'm now actually genuinely looking forward to play the final game.

I can't comment on Legends of Dawn, since I only got it as part of a bundle, and I only tried it for a bit after many updates, so I didn't play it when most people were having major issues, but currently, Wave of Darkness looks good, plays good (I used the keyboard to move, and mouse to attack/interact/rotate map), and entertained me. I also didn't encounter any major stability, or performance issues, on my old machine (I still use Vista 64-bit).
It's a perfectly competent, and fun, action-RPG, especially for a small, indie team. It's a bit clunky, and rough around the edges, like many eastern european games, but frankly I find that's part of the charm.

Unlike what the video above says, I actually think they should streamline things a bit. They currently have many menus/shortcuts, which could easily be condensed to fewer options. There's nothing wrong with "streamlining" something, as long as you keep things intact, and improve playability.

I'm now even happier that I decided to gamble a bit, and backed the Kickstarter for this game, even though the overall opinion for the previous title was majorly negative. Backers for tiers of $15 or more received not only a copy of this game, but also 3 other titles from the developer, among other things (name in credits, digital songs/wallpapers, …). Considering one of the 3 bonus games I received was the new Steam "HD"re-release of Spaceforce Rogue Universe (currently selling for 12,99€, and a very worthwhile title), and that Wave of Darkness, even with a 30% discount, is currently selling on Steam for 18,54€, I'm sure I'll get my money's worth. :)

She is decent looking but not good enough to sell me games just based on her looks :)

Even Kate Upton only made me download that shitty phone game and didn't make me pay for anything :lol:
