Hello everyone.
Just wanted to say that I am very much looking forward to this game, and have been following it for a while by reading it's forum on Codex now and then, and when I read that it's offical forum opened, I figured I may as well join. Here are my observations on the game (if anyone cares):
1.) I really like the graphics, seriously, if you guys get the game out sooner than later, it will probably set a new standard in Indy RPG graphics quality. This can only be a good thing, as it should force other Indy developers to improve their standards, and as well help sales of AOD. Spiderweb is the prime example here. Good games, too few and sparse graphical improvements.
The graphics are good, but I think it may be the setting that makes it. If it was an generic medieval setting, it probably wouldn't be as good. And no bloom.
2.) Setting is very original and I look foward to exploring it. Unfortunatly, I think there might be a danger that's it's too far removed from standard "orcs, dwarfs, and elves" setting, possibly eliminating a lot of potential buyers. I know such settings are done to death, but I honestly belive people actually enjoy the familiar, especially a lot of old school rpg players. Hopefully that will not hinder AOD's succes.
You only think that becuase they have gotten to you. Run away...run away fast! Seriously, they enjoy it becuase that's all they get and don't expect anything different. So they dumb down their wants and will be happy with anything. See ign. Or Gamespot.
3.) If this game delivers on half of it's promissed roleplaying options, it could easily be the best rpg ever made. Keep up the good work.
Or they die...just sayin.
RPG
