Warning RPGWatch: Shadow Hunters RPG on Kickstarter: it is already on sale!
 
*Self Promotion hope you don't mind*

Kickstarter: Lunatic RPGs Shadow Hunters

A 3D downloadable rpg game for Windows

Shadow Hunters offers a very unique story, the story is long and offers many twists and turns. There are many quests that you can have, some of which are very long. You can do all of these quests without breaking up the main quest.

You start out with your main character, you will be able to choose from different classes. Throughout your adventure you will be able to recruit up to 6 characters you will have complete control over all of them. You may only have 4 characters fight at one time.

There will be so much to do, like crafting alchemy, blacksmithing, tailoring, fishing, mining and lumberjacking just to name a few. Characters can use special skills or magic depending on their class, there are around 120 skills and magic spells.

i sent images, and a link to a video what more do i need thanks

Eye August 21st, 2019 19:20

The images were not in your post. Something must have gone wrong then. The code for images: [ img ] link.jpg [ /img ] or gif. But of course without spaces.
And the link, that was just a link to your kickstarter.

I have sent you a PM which will show you how to use the codes for urls, youtube vids and images.

Hi, Nikita.

Good spot @Ripper

Ripper August 22nd, 2019 09:46

Yeah, it could be those folks trying it on again. It could also be our longterm troll using Ellis Studios' games as a new angle for fun - the Ellis Studios guy struck me as a different variety of prick, but you never know.

Either way, it's an attempt to scam the Watch into backing a KS for a game that's already on sale (at a discount) on itch.io.

Pongo August 22nd, 2019 10:03

I've reported it to Kickstarter with the link to itch.io.

Eye August 22nd, 2019 10:23

Cave of sorrows did not ring a bell, so I searched the forums. Found the Ellis Studios, now that one I remember. :)
For now the thread stays, as a warning.
I changed the thread title with a clear warning.

Ripper August 22nd, 2019 10:28

Hopefully you'll ban the bugger, so he doesn't troll up the rest of the forum with his drivel.

Eye August 22nd, 2019 10:32

Well, I was hoping s/he would respond, so we could see whether it is Nikita or not. Why do you think it is Nikita?

Ripper August 22nd, 2019 10:39

The Ellis Studio guy had a certain manner of writing, and his Kickstarters and promotional threads were genuine attempts to flog their scams. Nikita has a different manner of speech. Read the actual text of this KS pitch - it's laughable. It doesn't even seem like a genuine attempt, but more to see who could read that and be daft enough not to see it for what it is. That's his game.

Same with the images and videos "mistakes" at the beginning of this thread. He plays dumb, to get you to dance to his tune. And his other couple of threads about NWN and Dragon Quest - pure gaslighting. It has Nikita written all over it.

I would get rid of him pronto - he'll be loving all this, and the scam more than justifies it, even if I'm wrong.

Eye August 22nd, 2019 11:01

Nikita was banned. And banned again when using a different name. And now, according to you, he is back with a third name.
Getting ‘rid of him pronto’ is not a simple matter of banning.
But yes, you are right, the scam justifies it. It is done.

Ripper August 22nd, 2019 11:07

Yes, of course, he will keep coming back. And must be shot on sight every time. :p

Eye August 22nd, 2019 11:11

No doubt we’ll succeed with you around, you are certainly very good at spotting him, Ripper.
Hm… Nikita is not your evil alter ego using VPN, is it? ;)

Ripper August 22nd, 2019 11:16

LOL. I do have a VPN. According to my client, I'm currently in Alblasserdam.

Now that you mention it, I suspect Nikita still has at least one active account on here as another user…

joxer August 22nd, 2019 11:22

Shadow Hunters is a cross between the Elminage series (Wizardry) and Dragon Quest

Seriously, who'd back this?

I say unban the scammer so we can get some laughs. Okay, not we, I'd be just me. I have no obligations to respect irrational nostalgia. Nor respect obligations. :)

Ripper August 22nd, 2019 11:28

Nah, he'll just spam the place with useless threads looking for a bite. Our current ratio of interesting comments to irritating shite is already not great at the moment.

Alblasserdam (well, just outside Alblasserdam)

I might have to actually go there.

Lol. Do go early in the morning and avoid the summer, so I suggest you go at the time the picture above was taken.

Oh dear. Queuing is one of my least favourite things. Yes, a dawn raid is often the way to go at tourist sites.

Wintertime is more fun. Especially if it is bloody cold for a long time. All the Dutch are nice on the ice.

you August 22nd, 2019 15:45

I'm confused - by both the title of this thread; and the thread itself. It is very confusing.


(btw the title seems to be warning: rpgwatch is on sale).

Carnifex August 22nd, 2019 15:48

Those are some nice shots, makes me long for the snows!

I changed the title. Less confusing now, you?

As for the thread itself: perhaps this link will help?:

The OP is trying to get backing for a game that is already released and discounted on itch.io. In addition, it is an Ellis Studios game on itch.io, which we established beyond doubt to be a scammer selling other people's work a couple of years ago.

The rest of it is just me speculating about the weird trollish nature of the whole thing, and whether it is a troll who returns in various guises from time to time. Could be that troll, could be Ellis, or perhaps even they are one and the same. But my speculation is irrelevant - the key evidence shows that there is something rotten, one way or the other.

you August 22nd, 2019 20:12

So let me understand: A troll is going to make a game that he (or she) doesn't remember already making - or perhaps someone else already made and sell it as if it is the game they are going to make but is already made.

Carnifex August 22nd, 2019 20:18

Trying to figure all this out gives me nothing but a head-ache, I trust the runners of this site to tend to the weeds.

Ripper August 22nd, 2019 20:32

Yes, best to just ignore it. I am in tune with the dark side of the force, and can detect disturbances within it. Then @Eye wields the ban hammer.

Lucky Day August 22nd, 2019 22:06

The oldest indication of hockey played on ice was those 16th and 17th C Dutch paintings. Unfortunately, you can't tell if its hockey they're playing or some kind of ice golf.

I don't get it. De Dutch are such good skaters with a tradition of bone skates only matched by the Micmac Indians. Why don't you guys go in for hockey since you've been playing it so long?

PS - Great catch again ripper.

One of the tricks of "Ellis Studios" and his kickstarters is to ask for a relatively low $500. He doesn't ask the moon so he catches the occasional sucker like email spam.

Hey, it’s a risky job, but somebody has to do it.

If I’m honest though…

you August 22nd, 2019 22:30

To be honest - honesty is not always best.

We do play hockey. The Dutch are one of the best hockey playing nations in the world. Especially the women.
We are not so good in ice hockey though :)

Dez August 23rd, 2019 16:52

Shame that there are only 120 skills and magic spells. I only give money to rpgs which have atleast 130 skills. That is my new rule.

you August 23rd, 2019 18:57

Them Gals know how to whack people with those sticks.

Nikita? Ripper your a drama queen you always have been,

dragongamedesigns August 24th, 2019 23:35

another Ripper wanna be!

Ripper August 24th, 2019 23:57

Not Nikita? Oh well, just the original thieving, lying, scamming, shovelware artist you've just confirmed yourself to be then.

Piss off and stop wasting our time.

Eye August 25th, 2019 00:01

While you were busy typing, Ripper… i was busy hammering.

Ripper August 25th, 2019 00:04

Straight to the hammer, no messing about with these fuckwits. ;)
