Sui Generis - Development Update

[Couchpotato]

Bare Mettle Entertainment posted an update on the comment section for Sui Generis. Just for reference it has been a few months since they released a kickstarter update.

We've recently done a very big update to the prelude and with the help of our alpha tier backers we've been hunting down and fixing every bug and making various improvements. The game is working great now and already has a lot to offer, we're just about ready to go beta and lift the NDA, this will be accompanied by an update of course. A full relase to all backers is close, at the moment we're working on a release trailer and adding more content.

We apologise again for the lack of recent updates, it's just been a very hands-on stage in development and we're doing everything we can to get something solid in your hands. There has been a very real and in depth interaction with alpha and beta backers on our forums. We are very present there and we take everyone seriously, if you want to get involved don't hesitate, interact with us! Our forums aren't just for insiders.

More information.

Haven't heard from these guys in a while. Guess I'll get a key in my email eventually.

Always was an ambitious project. I'll be curious to see how it turns out. Even if it's a flop, I won't mind. For me, this is what Kickstarter is all about: funding the little guy with bold ideas. This is exactly the type of project I like to see on Kickstarter.

I think they may have done better by defining the project as a unique new engine and a construction kit, much like MyRPG. I think the development of the ambitious engine has taken far more than they anticipated, and they're going to struggle to meet expectations of a content-rich campaign.

Yep, I'd gladly back a KS campaign for a meaty RPG using this engine.

My hopes aren't high for Sui Generis as a game. But let's see... perhaps we'll get suprised positively.

Same here. It looks like a good engine that someone might pick up and use. Bare Mettle hasn't impressed with any of their non-technical skills; especially PR.

I think they never really properly thought that part through.
