They're gathering money now? I thought that game is already far in development.

If you would've clicked the link and watched the video or read the text you would've known.
Since you are unable to do that here is the text from the Kickstarter site.

"Why Kickstarter?

For us, Kickstarter represents several awesome opportunities, making it a win win situation for current or new fans of the game and the development team.

- Because kickstarter fees are less than those from traditional online distributors, we are actually able to offer the game for cheaper, while the developers make roughly the same amount. So it allows our fanbase to pick up the game at a reduced price and in doing so more directly support us, the developers of the game.

- Kickstarter is also an excellent way for us to allow preorders for the game, something we were unlikely to be able to do otherwise due to "redtape" and regulations with many online distributors.

- Kickstarter in itself is a great marketing opportunity for exposure with the game.

- Kickstarter allows us to offer players a variety of additional products based around the game such as t-shirts, posters and custom art.

- Paying off Debt and loans, when we said many team members had given up everything to do this, we meant it. The development team has personally dug deep into its own pockets over the past two years and put a lot on the line to make this happen because for us it is a labour of love.

@Christo: AoC does not equal Chivalry Medieval Warfare so it doesn't have to be posted in the same topic. Like Mount and Blade 2 does not equal Mount and Blade Napoleonic Wars.

Funding a project is the key principle of Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/guidelines

Don't know what you mean with "shooter style". If you're referring to the firstperson view, don't worry because the game supports and is playable in thirdperson view.

Doesn't look like funding though, more like using it as a payment system. But that doesn't really bother me, just thought it's strange.

As for shooter style: dunno, the whole movement and stuff, looks like a FPS with swords. Like dueling with crowbars in halflife :)

Pre-ordering the game is a type of funding, they get the money more earlier then the release date so they can use it for various game related reasons (including the ones I've already mentioned)

".. it allows our fanbase to pick up the game at a reduced price and in doing so more directly support us, the developers of the game. " this is a win-win situation so I don't see any reason to complain.

"Paying off Debt and loans, when we said many team members had given up everything to do this, we meant it. The development team has personally dug deep into its own pockets over the past two years and put a lot on the line to make this happen because for us it is a labour of love." maybe some of the devs are broke and need financial help to keep working on the game? Enough other reasons to fund this game.

Very WotR, and WotR is an abomination.

Post by: Mr.Lion on August 20, 2012, 07:22:13 pm
You call this stiff? That coming from a cRPG player, a game where you can't even sprint or jump. I won't even touch the combat system because I'm in a rush.

One more thing, I don't know why people keep comparing this to Wotr. Infact Mount and Blade looks more like Wotr than Chivalry does.
But they are completely different or is Mount and Blade(include Warband) a complete abomination?( according to you Vibe )
It's just like CoD fan boys comparing every FPS to CoD. They don't want to acknowledge the differences for some reason. I'm sure there is a psychological reason behind that. I assume it's because people are generally conservative if they like the current situation and are afraid of and even oppose change in their current situation.

I have been Alpha and now beta testing Chivalry MW with the dev team since 2010 and I personally disagree with this; if you pick it up when its released I think your opinion on the movement and vibe will change :)

How does it feel to be a fanboy of a game that isn't even near release version, I bet it fucking rocks man, every thing we see you can counter "no it isn't actually like that in-game" and every thing that is missing or we dislike you can go "it's going to be different at release, it's still alpha!!!"

'Like dueling with crowbars in halflife' is the quote I am referring to, this is an initial reaction from a video, not from hands on gameplay.

How does melee combat feels compare to warband? Does it have some depth or not?

It certainly does have depth to it, can only really talk about what has been publicly announced. It has free form directional blocking for a start, meaning to perform a successful block you have to aim accurately with the cursor meeting the enemies attack. The game mechanics do very well at making it quick to understand while having the depth in taking time to master :)

Look through the official site/forums for more info's  8-)

Post by: chadz on August 20, 2012, 11:38:06 pm
The crowbar thing was ofc an exaggeration, although that was the first thing that came to my mind when watching that kickstarter video.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to badmouth the game. Every game set in the semi-realistic medieval department is great, because it draws more people into the genre, and we all profit from that in terms of larger interest for the genre.

The problem is just that the game has so many drawbacks and heavy limitations that (for me!) it's not ok when the melee combat is just close to warbands level of depth - it would have to be mindblowing to really set a new level. They have to overcome serious limitations after all (32 players per server, no horses, no groundbreaking gameplay). And I just don't see that.

So many medieval games coming up, but in the end they all tell me the same thing: if you want something done properly, do it yourself  :wink:

As an Alpha/Beta tester of the game I know what I'm talking about unlike you I can compare both games and draw my conclusions.

Ofcourse this game isn't perfect (there is no perfect game) but I and many other people (who are willing to open their eyes) think that this is currently the best melee game out there.
-32 players is not THAT much of a limitation: more players doesn't necessarily mean a better melee combat experience and ofcourse the initial limit can be exceeded like in many other games.
- Horses are not needed for decent melee game but the devs of Chivalry have shown some interest in mounted combat as possible DLC.
- If you compare the fighting system you'll see that no other melee game has done it this properly. But before you can fully appreciate the combat system you have to experience it( for the people who only see what they want to see), so your whole view on the game might change if you give it a go :)

-32 players is not THAT much of a limitation

It's pretty much a deal breaker for anyone who plays Warband for big battles. It can compete with War of the Roses, or small Native servers, else it's just a different kind of game.

Post by: Overdriven on August 22, 2012, 06:46:53 pm
Didn't warband only originally have quite small servers? It was only later they jacked up the numbers. And only after that that the massive servers came along.

32 is small. But games that tend to have small servers like that tend to have the numbers increased at some point to at least 64. And after that the community tends to break things to make the numbers go higher. So same thing is possible in either this or WotR.

The graphics are far better than m&b for sure but the combat looks weird. They seem to do a parry in one direction each time. Its just going off that vid posted in this thread but melee looks so simplistic compared to m&b.

I do like the idea of burning a village down vs capturing a flag though. Much more badass and fun.

Quote
Are there horses or other mountable animals ingame?
No, we have decided to focus our attention on delivering the highest quality foot-based melee combat because we believe that no commercial product has done this successfully yet. The game also has a strong focus on siege warfare and horses would not fit in the maps as designed.

Phew, Project Asinus is not going to be a spacegame.

I love how these guys are using Kickstarter as a way to avoid publishers and distributors taking a cut, very clever.

I thought this game had like free directional blocking? That you had to block in the direction of the incoming attack, cause that sounded pretty good.

Btw the game looks great,

-Amputation
-Burning down villages
and most importantly NO HORSES.. :D

played Age of Chivalry  but this new standalone game seems less arcadeish and that's what i want for a melee/hybrid game , no spin thrusts , no unbelieveable feints wielding a polearm , slow melee combat wearing heavy armor , no crosshair for archers and the cons are few : 3 person view sucks (maybe is a pro) , no massive battles (maybe they raise server population in the future..) , no directional block like warband , graphic is a bit worst than wotr but who cares.
i'm interested in this and the feedback reapy gave on tw forums make me wish it0s going to the good direction.
