Quick rundown of the checklist…
- PC
- Non-console (not even as a stretch goal!!!)
- Non-MMO.
- Class system.
- Based on existing thought-out battle system.
- Masses of lore to draw from (nobody has to create a whole unique world in 12 months)
- English German French Russian language support.

Yes its RTwP…. a minor issue! Read description below, 3 seconds not exactly an action game.
"Yeah, our combat is realt-time with pause. Characters will use individual real-time turns base on their initiative, each of which will last over three seconds"

Its 90% of what everyone says they want. Unless you see some red flags I can't see why you wouldn't back this. How often does this type of game come around? I know some of you have built up some ideal game in your head but I'm fairly sure that ideal will never be worked on. Might as well support the guys that are making a good attempt.

PS - 100% willing to eat my words on this one if it turns into a shit-show.

How much of the game will revolve around resource management/building stuff? I really loathe that kind of thing - why I stopped playing War/Starcraft back in the day. I want to adventure with my merry band and uncover interesting plots etc, not really manage a kingdom or constantly be waiting for someone to attack my town(s).

I'd be surprised. I don't think there's any relationship with Obsidian. From the kickstarter video I caught glimpses of Unity, so I guess they're using that as base game-engine-tools.

So the product is turn based as it was suggested.
Now it is not a minor issue. Tyranny does not play faster (easy to find actions whose completion takes more than three seconds)
Either completion of an action in this product takes several turns (like casting a spell taking three turns and 9 seconds) or turns can not overlapse (does not seem to be the case from the vid) or the separation in turns helps players to get a fluid thought process or that is trouble.

Tyranny does not play faster and players can not play Tyranny RTwP.

Russian dev teams which always seems to match with "games with lots of bugs" from my experience (not necessarily bad games though). Also, My.com is publishing this, but I suspect a single player game won't require their awful launcher like their MMOs do.



My.com and Obsidian worked together for two games. One of which, Skyforge, was the last game (some of?) the people at Owlcat Games worked on. Also, Paizo has a relationship with Obsidian and they [Obisidian] did a survey for Paizo about a possible Pathfinder RPG (which made a lots of people think Obsidian was going to make it).

Also, the UI of the alpha on the KS looks a lot like POE1, they just moved the elements around. It probably won't look like that at release though.

In for Early Bird. $25 is worth the risk.
