Merchants of Kaidan - A New Trading Game
 

Forum member Black Rune sent me information about a game that was released on Steam called Merchants of Kaidan from Indie developer Forever Entertainment S. A.



More information.

It looks promising…

Hats off to Black Rune for this 10/10 video.

First of all: this video was made by professionals. Don't be misled by *their* word usage "indie".
- Beautiful and competent art direction
- readability is 100% icons, scroll-bars, numbers and story perfect
- concept paintings are made by talented professionals
- GUI design is absolutely superb
- Music is top notch, composer really overdid himself, put a lot of soul in
- Everyone probably was well paid to create this product (they did this while they still have money+hope), otherwise quality would have suffered. (no payment = starving/depressed/lack of creative energy)

All above is usually missing from indie games, only bigger groups have them who have money to hire people of for example Andrée Wallin's caliber.

As for what kind of game they will be able to make, well its still in early access:

Indeed, indie trailers usually leave a lot to be desired. This was rock solid.

I agree the trailer was well done.:nod:

I just bought the game and I now just have to find time to play it.

I voted for this one on Greenlight (and I think I've voted maybe for 10 games out of 500), so I'll have to pick it up eventually.

If you find the time, I would love to hear what you think.

I'll try but right now I'm busy with Valkyria Chronicles, and Lords of Xulima. After those two games I also have Dragon Age: Inquisition being released next week.:faint:

No pressure =)

I'm with Yme. :) It looks like a good game, and I'm curious. ^.^

Steam reviews are mixed. Looks like the 'trading' part of the game is weak according to most complaints.
