No, that price is very reasonable. Academagia, somewhat similar in that it is a huge game for a "niche audience", was sold at the same price and from what I gather the developers initially wanted to sell it with a lower price but their DD partners encouraged them to raise it.VDweller said:Why? Too much?
So there are no quests which are outright denied to certain characters based on their stats and skills?VDweller said:No.
For example, in the second thieves guild quest you're told that about a valuable shipment. You can:
- set up an old fashioned ambush "highwaymen" style (you and other members of the guild)
- set up a trap (mentioned in the article)
- forge an order redirecting the shipment to the guild's safe house (a very complicated option involving quite a lot, plus you get quite a few options at the safe house)
I can obviously only talk from personal experience, but the people I know that have never played a good RPG are definitely in the minority of gamers. They might not worship Avellone or mourn the demise of Troika, but they enjoy a good RPG when they see one.Regarding the last question, I do think VD is way off if he thinks "pure" RPGs are not part of the mainstream of gaming.
Because?
One thing Vince, and I noticed this in the latest combat build, when you up the resolution it gets very hard to read the text when in conversation mode. Will there be an option to increase text size???
I'm curious about this as well. Would love to see font-size options, as small text has been a problem for me in several games.
Yes, there will be an increased font size for larger resolutions
Personally I think 25 is the going rate for an indie rpg now, I really didn't blink at that. Thats an order of pizza guys, were not talking huge amounts of money here.
The game sounds good, except I play mages. I want this game to get finished so Vince can make a "real" crpg
I just wish I was a German distributor - I'd put all of these games on discs and sell them here in Germany - because there is still a part of the audience" who prefer retail.
Germany is different in several things regarding games and markets, I guess.
Yes, there will be an increased font size for larger resolutions
Alrik, IIRC Vault Dweller announced that the game will be available boxed for ordering worldwide. The price is unknown, though.
As a fellow German, you should do as I do: Order a boxed copy and be happy. The chances of this game getting a german publisher are very, very small, after all possible candidates (FIP-Publishing, CDV, Atari Germany, TGC, HMH) have gone belly up or got themselves burned with their last hardcore RPG (BHV with "World of Chaos").
The price is in this interview - $50 for the full boxed version.
