Hans-Joachim Marseille Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) im not interested in adventure/rpg games but it looks very nice :thumbup: - and seems very detailed almost like a simulator :DIt's indeed a medieval sim (one of the team leads has worked on the original OFP, OFP: Resistance and ArmA), that's why I posted this thread starter in the "Other Sims". But for some reason the higher powers found it more worthy of "Chit Chat". The game strives to portray medieval life as closely as possible, using medieval weapons experts motion capture techniques.

Suchacz Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Dear Hans, if you are interested in history, maybe you might like to know that the game is inspired by a period in our (Czech) history called the Hussite Wars. Btw, Im looking forward to this game too :thumbup: Per aspera ad astra!

Cowboy10uk Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yep, I grabbed this on Kickstarter, it looks great. Just hope they delivery at least half of what they are promising.

Hans-Joachim Marseille Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) It reminds me of the glory days of the C64 and Amiga ... Defender of the Crown. Also Mount & Blade comes to mind. Starting from £15, it's a steal. And they almost made £780k with the KickStarter, with 4 achieved stretch goals.

Hans-Joachim Marseille Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) A little bit of historical background of the game ... It's 1403, 25 years after Karl IV's death (Czech emperor of the Holy Roman empire). His sons Wenzel (Wenceslaus) and Sigismund are battling for the throne. Sigismund has lured his older brother Wenzel to Rome to force him to abdicate in favour of him. The country is on the brink of civil war and German and Habsburg noblemen are starting to participate in the struggle, building up to the Hussite wars that started after Jan Hus (Czech religious reformer) was burned to death as a heretic by catholics.

Can't wait until it turns up, the update videos really look impressive. 780K isn't to be sniffed at, it certainly shows there is still a place for these sort of games.

Hans-Joachim Marseille Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) After seeing the female figure in "Character Customization", I really hope they include a "Damsel in Distress" theme that made "Defender of the Crown" so interesting back in the day (well, for me as a 14 yo then anyway).

Hans-Joachim Marseille Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Almost £800k tonight ... the 5th stretch goal is in sight (visual in-game fencing lessons and instructional videos on medieval weapons). I hope they will include pulling a shield down with the axe's "hook" and then having your neighbour in the shield wall stab the enemy in the throat (no one pens that down better than Bernard Cornwell). Some of the higher Kickstarter pledges will get a hand-forged sword ... Gotta love these guys for staying close to authentic with this game (bar the hydraulic hammer).

Hans-Joachim Marseille Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13577-Kickstarter-Kingdom-Come-Deliverance With the backing of "Star Citizen"-founder Chris Roberts, will they make the stretch goal of £900k? ~50 hours to go ... Great to see two independent game developers going to share their CryEngine tech. knowledge with each other. Edit: New stretch goal at £1000k has just been added. I so want that "Dog Companion".

Aginor Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I agree. As a Star Citizen backer I like it very much that the guys kept their community-close attitude even though they have our millions now. I have considered backing KCD before, but haven't done so yet. I think I may back it when I get home tonight.... I'm thinking of the Baron package. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sword tiers already sold out when I noticed the game. Hope they can make it to £1000k within the next 2 days, that would be something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginor Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 What I really fear (because I watched it happen a few times) is that in the last minutes of the KS campaign some ***hole withdraws his pledge for a high tier. Suddenly thousands of bucks would be missing, ruining the last stretch goal. At least in this case even if it happens the game will still be funded, other projects didn't have that much luck. Damn people who think that is funny. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
