chadz I'll ft7 you on EU3 if I win you gotta give me scholar status

"Beginning of April" is such a bad name though.
Oh dear I´ll be heading back from Stuttgart there, I hope I´ll make it in time then
that´s some nice news there 8-)
Sounds great!
You just keep doing what you are doing.
Though I have to agree that putting the test on the 1st of May is weird since it is the international workers day, so a lot of us will be busy :D .
What on earth would you want in Stuttgart?http://www.fmx.de
I did in all honesty miss that it's a holiday
It's on a sunday... what difference does it make?
Apologies - some things went wrong in the last weeks, we messed up our timings here and there.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
The original plan was to release a short video of our game, and our new name, beginning of April. We ran into some troubles, and lost a bit of time, and while trying to fix things panicky we got a bit unorganised :wink:
So, after getting our shit together, this is what's going to happen the next weeks:
Somewhen next week, the new name is announced, with a teaser video.
Next week, Sunday, May 1st, 6pm to 8pm GMT, we will have a combat test with our inital backers (all Scholars on the Forum) on a european server. (It's not bias for EU, but we need good pings in the office to get proper results for our test - NA will come soon as well) We will let you know in time where and how to get the client. The combat you've seen in our last video is not relevant any more - we made some huge changes after having a collective epiphany. Most people who tried it so far were very pleased with it, I personally love it, and I think most of you (definitely not all of you, it's not cRPG) will be pleasantly surprised - I will not reveal more at this point :wink:.
This test will help us figure out: how you like the combat, if the game runs performant on different PCs, if it will crash the servers, or the clients, if it will burn houses down, if the network code works (it might need some improvements), etc etc. The gamemode will be a simple battle mode, as we want to test combat only. It's important to test with a limited amount of people to not overload our servers yet.
Now, depending on how that test goes, the sunday after we will try another test with backers, or possibly more or all members from the cRPG community. It depends on what we want to test - performance, combat, network. We start with timed tests because it makes it easier for us to test specific things that need testing, and to get enough players for those timeslots.
Again, apologies for our miscommunication - I promise we'll try and do better. For now we're very happy to be able to show you a small yet polished part of our game next week, and we're very excited about the upcoming sunday. We have a shitton of work ahead of us for that, so: "see you in 9 days" to the scholars, and "stay tuned, it might be your turn soon" to all the others. Exciting times ahead :)
... to show you a small yet polished part of our game ...
Somebody please stream it on Twitch.
It's on a sunday... what difference does it make?
Don't you typically go in the morning? I wouldn't know but in the movies they seem to do it then :D
The combat you've seen in our last video is not relevant any morenow i am happy :)

Busy smashing windows?
This is Finland on 1st of May.(click to show/hide)
At least I plan on being intoxicated. Most likely a lot of Finns will miss it.
I agree with Kratos, give scholar access kurwa.
Is this an asylum or something?Same community, different goal.

But Khorin, when aren't you planning on being intoxicated?I rarely plan for it...
:rolleyes: oh boi :lol:
Who were the people that tried it apart from the Dev team so far? Was it your sponsors or some local students? Genuinly curious.
Ofcourse chadz loves the game itself, why would you spend so many months asking for monies cause you want to make your "dream" game.... and then not love it :P
"Very pleased" indeed doesnt sound very enthusiastic imo. Perhaps Donkey Crew its overlords were very pleased?
Aside from that, i wonder how many things chadz promised that he would put in the game, will still be in the end product.. as he is relient on his "publisher/sponsor" for a yay or nay ? I can hardly believe they would have Donkey Crew do their thing, without their "moneytree" having a say in it.
I believe, they said that they can do pretty much whatever. Somehow the sponsor trusts them, which is beyond me. :lol:
Sir Polak scholars, since you will be busy gib ur Scholar Badge pls.
Yours sincerely,
xoxo Kratos spierdalaj

Didnt their sponsor run out of money, and they got a publisher instead or something?

Jambi got me. Every of his suspicions and implications are true. I do in fact not love it, very pleased actually means "the better choice at gunpoint", it actually has no features and all, and it's because our publisher/sponsor doesn't like gameplay, they think it's better to make something more like candy crush, because stats show that sells better.
Alas! My plan foiled, so close before scamming people into early access! I tip my fedora to you, you bested me with your intelligence.

Sponsor basically pays for advertisement but donkey crew isn't big enough to get that, I'm pretty sure it's publisher who gets his cut.

Good. I always like Candy Crush way better than Native and cRPG combined.
lol so salty.I looked and didn't find any question. :(
Implying i have suspicions and implications. Those were legit questions i had, without any intend of "triggering" you.
And lets be fair.. ofcourse you would say you Love your own game. If you would say its decent or bad or whatever, it wouldnt be great advertisement :P
Being all silent to your backers about changes in the original plan/team, and not letting out regular monthly updates like you promised.. ofcourse will make people ponder about whats going on..and what they can further expect.. quite natural reaction. Its of your own design, not mine.
Aye, Candy Crush probably pleased alot more players, then melee battlegrounds ever will. lets be realistic :P
That ninja edit. :lol:
Wat?
Oh god, this guy is spreading to the Melee:BG forums. How do we contain this guy?(click to show/hide)
Please elaborate. How am i "toxic", if im discussing and having legit questions about a product i am interested in and thinking about making a purchase of?Watch a 'Let's play' when it's out.

Maybe I'm wrong since I never met the guy in real life but chadz seems too laid-back to be triggered by malicious or snarky remarks I tend to direct at him every now and then. He will respond, but not because he's offended.
Everyone has a shorter fuse in times of high stress. Getting a game ready for public view is one of those times.
I know right. Worst thing is this community seems to be doing everything it can to destroy their dreams. Would add a dark layer to the soon meme, I guess. Imagine, if Donkecrew actually didn't deliver. The backlash. I am getting butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. :twisted:
Well, I think most of them have their hopes quite sincerely pinned on the new Donkey game.
Because it does. I'm truly amazed at depth of fremium elements in mobile games. If only they spent half as much time on actual game mechanics... but still hats off to the dude who came with idea originally. Layers and layers of daily quests, super offers you can't refuse and free stuff you unlock by essentially doing something we get paid for in real life. Either you pop tens of thousands of dollars/euros in game store and "win" game in few hours or you spend months working as Mechanical Turk, but this time around Amazon doesn't give you nickels for your effort.Mechanical Turk sounds like a title for an action/thriller movie or Panos' wet dream.

And think they deserve a chance to mingle with the big boys, there's no lack of dedication.
I wouldn't know about that. It's a mask as far as I can tell. Worst case scenario, everyone from cRPG, drops the game after 2 months and comes back here, because it won't be cRPG and people don't want to be noobs again.Even after all these years I consider myself noob... I wouldn't mind :P

Maybe they'll add a mandatory personallity test for ranged.

Maybe they'll add a mandatory personallity test for ranged.Question 1: Do you want to play ranged?
chadz, are Devolver Digital your publisher?
NopeI am actually the publisher. We're renaming from M:BG to M:BG, except this time the M stands for Magic. That's right, all the things you love about historically inspired low-fantasy games will be replaced with flying carpets, casting spells, and dragons. All armors are currently being replaced with 4k texture robes, which come in a variety of stylish colors and alluring cuts. Don't worry about protection though, all you have to do is hold block for an omnidirectional mana shield. There will still be a variety of weapons of course. For 1H there will be wands (dual wielding!) and for 2H and Polearms there are plenty of staves to choose from. Knowing the cRPG community like we do the inclusion of upgrading equipment is mandatory. However this is a world of magic, and as such all items may be enchanted with any of the game's spell effects. Just think, you could create your own [+11 Rat Smashing Rod of Thorns]!

In the above, you mention seven major schools of magic, but i only count 6 in the above example. Your spell + 2 compatible + 2 incompatible + neutral divination. Is this deliberate?I apologize, I worded the first post poorly so let me clarify. What I meant to say was that each school of magic is aligned with two other schools and opposed by two other schools. For example the school of Evocation is aligned with Conjuration (both can create matter) and also with Illusion (both can create energy). However, Conjuration is not aligned with Illusion, as one deals with physical objects and the other with hallucinations. It's worth noting that not being aligned is not the same as being opposed. An example of opposing schools are Conjuration (creating life, positive energy) and Necromancy (using death, negative energy).
Ye, let Ouja in, he's a famous youtuber :P
Will there be tab-targeting to ensure all spells are performed on lock?
Or is it all manual aim?
Or is it like Dark Souls where you can choose between lock-on or unlocked combat?
Now you're getting ridiculous,
He clearly stated that you can intercept inbound spells with spells of your own, it's a core mechanic of the game.
Will there be tab-targeting to ensure all spells are performed on lock?

That's because there are inter-turns. It goes like this: Player 1 - casts spell; inter-turn - spell halfway to target; Player 2 - can intercept/negate or dogde the spell.
Every player also has different movesets, just like figures on a chessboard and draws cards every inter-turn that changes his blood pH levels, which in turn affects what kind of spells are effective, for the next turn.
Next week, Sunday, May 1st, 6pm to 8pm GMT
As long as there a sex change spell, or even specific parts of the body, I'm ok with this.

Now I know what filth and stupidity really are. I'm glad to hear you attended your family reunion.
Every word you say to me is stupid. I wanted to make sure you'd feel comfortable with me.
I've got a long, sharp lesson for you to learn today. And I've got a little TIP for you. Get the POINT?
I will milk every drop of blood from your body! How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
I've got the courage and skill of a master swordsman. I'd be in real trouble if you ever used them.
My tongue is sharper than any sword First, you'd better stop waving it like a feather-duster.
My name is feared in every dirty corner of this island! So you got that job as a janitor, after all.
My wisest enemies run away at the first sight of me! Even BEFORE they smell your breath?
Only once have I met such a coward! He must have taught you everything you know.
If your brother's like you, better to marry a pig. You make me think somebody already did.
No one will ever catch ME fighting as badly as you do. You run THAT fast?
My last fight ended with my hands covered with blood. I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose.
I hope you have a boat ready for a quick escape. Why, did you want to borrow one?
My sword is famous all over the Caribbean! Too bad no one's ever heard of YOU at all.
You are a pain in the backside, sir! Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?
There are no clever moves that can help you now. Yes there are. You just never learned them.
How appropriate! You fight like a cow!I've fought your mother, thats quite a compliment!
Now, depending on how that test goes, the sunday after we will try another test with backers, or possibly more or all members from the cRPG community.

How did I not see that coming...Simply didn't go as expected then :P
