Good luck with the project - the art style looks nicely atmospheric. It looks ambitious, particularly as a part-time game by one person but at least the timescale for the prologue (i.e the game being backed at this stage) looks reasonable.
Thank you, glad you like it! If it gets funded, I plan to reduce my day-job time to the minimum, because as you say, I'll have a lot of work.

Haven't backed anything in a while, but am still waiting on:
Divinity Original Sin 2
Underworld Ascendant
STRAFE
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Values (not sure if I can really say I'm waiting for this; the amount of monetisation they've been pushing even before release makes even Star Citizen look angelic.)
Maia
And...
Grandroids, the very first thing I backed on Kickstarter. Hipster mode: I back something on Kickstarter before Kickstarter was popular.

I supported that on a relatively low level (just about enough to get the game), but at this point I've almost forgotten that I ever did pledge. It's a shame:
Ultima is one of my favourite series ever, and I would love to see some kind of spiritual successor that actually ticks those boxes that are important for me. I've yet to see anything concerning
Shroud of the Avatar that suggests this could be it; the most favourable thing I can say is that what they're doing is more of a successor to
Ultima Online, which I'm simply not all that interested in. I briefly played the test version that was available publicly a couple of weeks ago, but even considering that it's not even close to release, the game struck me as a charmless mess that feels like someone ate an
Ultima manual and is now throwing up individual chunks (moongates! virtues! housing!) with little rhyme or reason. Some people say that it gets better after the starting area, but if the first impression is this bad I don't particularly feel like putting in more time to get past all the crap.

Well... Better late than never?

I don't quite get why it's a joke? Some people who you thought had run off with your money are now actually making the thing you paid for after all?

There's even a thread and stuff about it, how about that.

I assumed when I saw "Every backer with a pledge of $25 $10 and higher" meant that they were referring to people who had already pledged. Or am I wrong?
And who makes a Mac only demo?

So Shroud of the Avatar finally launches on March the 27th.
And I'm not sure how I feel about it.
I backed this one way back when, but then they started adopting the Star Citizen model of further funding, selling in-game advantages for cash, which left a bad taste in my mouth. Then they started letting people play and keep any property they gained (or bought) during early access, which leaves people who'd rather wait for the game to be completed at a disadvantage on release. They even had time-limited exclusive items available for purchase during early access.
None of which says anything about how the game plays, but is enough to have left me with massive regrets about backing it, to almost the same level as Godus.
I will probably install the thing on release, but unless it's outstanding, I am preparing to be incredibly underwhelmed.
Has anyone here actually played it recently?
