Bay 12 Games Forum

In hindsight it may have been a better move to release the unupgraded thing they had before the Kickstarter (properly arted, obviously) and then use the funds from that to put all those cool features into a sequel, so the fans get their game and the devs get to work on a cool thing without all this kerfuffle.

But hindsight 20/20 and all that.

"Hah! You thought I had a reason for doing something? You have much to learn, my friend.
Now then, I think I heard a thing I can attempt to ride! Let's do that."

Locate cacalopes! Offer Cheetos! Gain loyalty through superior food!
...
Lament Rickman's departure.

Switch the Id Manifestor off and then on again, hopefully making IdXan reappear near me. If this works, question him as to whether that which we seek is in there.

Imperium, an epic miniseries that follow the history of several characters dragged into a interstellar conflict...

That could really work. It'd just be important to avoid Game of Thrones syndrome, where many characters die but a few are plot armoured for success and rising the ranks and such. It should be important to emphasize that all of them can easily be replaced, that they are but one among trillions, etc etc.

"God dammit. Let me think before I act, what's down there?
...
Ladder and then endless pit, with that one handprint I made still there."

Daniels looks at his mangled left hand.

"This murderthought is perhaps the best thing I've ever gotten, but I kinda wish it hadn't come at the price of my hand. If I had a functional one I could easily go down there and see if he's there.
...
Well, there's always threatening people for an option. Let's try that, enforced scouting. Otherwise going down there would just be a waste."

Go find someone (not one of my kind) and 'convince' them to go down the ladder and report back to me if the blacksmith is there.

Convincing being without maiming them, of course.

At this stage I'd imagine the only sensible move would be to cut unfinished features until you get a minimum viable product and release that, then continue development on whatever sales come in for that version. I'd probably buy it.

That might be a thing that could be possible, judging by their pre-Kickstarter claims that they already had a game and just needed the thing for actual art money.

Unfortunately, seems Josh's entered a strange mood, to put a light tone on it.

Based off of map, go to the Onwards! door. Have IdXan do this obviously, after letting him regenerate from being spiked.
