Title: Let us pre-buy oKaM, Donkey team.
Post by: Panos_ on May 02, 2016, 01:24:34 pm: There are plenty of people who did not back you up at the kickstarter, DonkeyCrew.

Some were having second thoughts while some others (including me) did not have a card to purchase/back you up at that time.

This is the third time I am asking for this, chadz, there are plenty of old timers who do not own oKaM, and after seeing the test videos/images, want to buy it AND support you.

I am literally begging you mate, let us support you & donkey team, let us pre buy oKaM, I am more than willing to spend 30-50 euros to pre buy it.

and yes,
I want to be a pain in the ass in oKaM aswell, cmp. :twisted:

Apologies - some things went wrong in the last weeks, we messed up our timings here and there.

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 :)

Well then this chance is gone, let's not cry over it but if some people here could have the chance to pre-buy the game, this would be huge for us I think.

I mean, as an artistic person irl, I know that many of things you imagine to do when you start your project, then drop off simply because you have not enough skill/time/budget/patience to do them all.

I mean, I know they were early pre-alpha and so on, but still... Anyway, right now I'm hyped as hell, and eager for any news about how the alpha test went through. So, now I'd like to see these questions to be answered 1st, untill I possibly buy it:
Quote from: Gaz.Spencer on May 02, 2016, 07:50:30 am
So how was the testing?
How many people participated?
Was the combat good?
Is this pretty much the base for the final combat? Or is it likely that some major things could still be changed?
Will it be possible to have a test sometime with non scholars? Id really love to give it a go :D
Anyone gonna try upload a vid of the test? Or will Donkey Crew release a vid previewing new combat?

Not every EA game ends like DayZ. They do take a lot until fully finished but are perfectly playable years before that happens. Darkest Dungeon, Factorio, KSP, Prison Arhitect are shining examples that Steam EA is not all bad.

It's never enough to say how good is Darkest Dungeon :wink: And yes, it was perfectly playable since the release as an early access.

Post by: Kelugarn on May 02, 2016, 07:54:49 pm: I'd stay away from Steam Early Access for now, primarily because EA reviewers love tearing apart games and ruining their reputations. Once things in the alpha have smoothed out and there's a little more functionality to things like the UI/menu (and a tutorial/manual for new people) releasing on EA would work.
Title: Re: Let us pre-buy oKaM, Donkey team.
Post by: Banok on May 02, 2016, 08:00:40 pm: I'm really not a big fan of Early Access (EA) from a consumer perspective, but as a emerging developer you'd have to be crazy not to try and exploit it.

Even your good EA examples I'm not so sure of. I mean KSP seemed to be permanently in EA, I suppose it has released by now. And I understand darkest dungeon had a controversial EA development, with some people still not liking the changes.

The only EA game I really rate is Squad; the game is already really fun and they do the probably best dev posts I've seen https://joinsquad.com/#updates. They are also making a commercial multiplayer game from a multiplayer mod, so its early days squad still could somehow fail, but I do think EA can be done right.

You just need to have the basic gameplay polished and then expand the content, but this is probably easier with a FPS than less trod territory that OKAM is treading. Squad is essentially the same gameplay from an already successful mod (PR for bf2) in a new engine. I assume OKAM is very different to crpg/strategus.

Very good point. Most people will simply jump at every opportunity to shit on your hard work. Problem is, the majority of them won't return after a while or care to change their reviews after checking back on your progress. That effectively gives a title a permanent bad reputation, which is usually enough to drive people away from the store page.

I'd definitely preorder it, but only if there's some unique thingy for cRPG players because I want to feel special. If the publisher treats us the same as everyone else, then I'll treat the publisher the same as all other publishers.

Therefore, EA stands for Early Access.

That game has one quality. You can use mouse as controller which allows for two people to play on same computer without the need for gamepad. Everything else is meh, compared to best football of that time which was on consoles (International Superstar Soccer Pro known as Winning Eleven in Japan).

Well EA lost their community an all their greates games.
Their products are good pieces yes. But when there are some bugs around better don't hope they will do something about.
If you liked Battlefield row started with 1942, desert combat, and later on battlefield 2. These were awesome games by dice.
These Games were played for ages - while CoD already run off in their DLC junk concept.
Later on - Dickslash BF3 announced "Premium" which is something like their old addons just cut in pieces so some players buy single DLC content for expansive share.
Sorry but EA is like Activision just a bunch of shitheads. I'm not the richest and often have to wait about half an year to buy an just released game, but what do I want it when there is the next of the row just 3 months away?
At least I hope you got some benefits for selling your soul to the devil :evil:
Title: Re: Let us pre-buy oKaM, Donkey team.
Post by: Leshma on May 03, 2016, 05:48:49 pm: BF1942, BF Vietnam and BF2 are games that were already made or largely finished before EA started interfering. BF1942 is evolution of original concept then unknown Swedish developer Refraction Games presented in game called Codename Eagle. It was unique game of that time, when most shooters were set in fantasy or sci-fi environments. There were few realistic shooters but none of them allowed free use of vehicles and vehicular combat on large multiplayer maps with then big number of players. Later Refraction Games merged with DICE and created BF1942.

Imagine OKaM being successful, receiving cult following because it is such unique game that allows players to experience things they couldn't before. Big publisher buys them out and they make big title set in popular universe. It is huge success but from that point things go downfall and IP is being abused next few years. That's what happened to Battlefield and Call of Duty.

If this game had some sort of trial feature, to let me see what the game would be like, I would be more than willing to participate, and if I liked it, buy the game. Other than that however, I can't personally see myself buying it due to Bannerlords being released whenever, thus it seems like the safer pick to me.

The alpha was on par with Darks Souls 3 on medium. It looks pretty good and isn't either too plain, like Warband or too saturated with little details, so you can't see a thing, like say Squad, almost is.
I expect they'll up the graphs once they go for optimisation, even now it runs really well on ultra, which can't be said for a lot of games, that already are in EA, while this is still early alpha.

I am starting to get really tired hearing "hé it's pre-pre-pre alpha of the game, don't judge".
When you first start letting multiple people play your incomplete game it's called an alpha, that's all ! A pre-alpha is basically not a version you can test. Thanks !

I've been in enough game community to say that the second people start arguing about silly things like alfabeta status or when will we be able to pre-order and what silly trinkets will we be given, is when the game is becoming reality.

Will there be diffrent skin colours, or will everyone be forced to run around as a privileged white male?

Also, will there be transgenders, homosexuals etc? Not talking about "my old friendchers"

And what about Queens?.. i mean we cant just only have Kings.. misogyny.

But yeah, let me buy now. I was away without my credit card for the 'Gentleman and Scholar' thing (what, we had two days to jump in that?) and pledged $150.00 to the kickstarter cuz I was so excited.

Any early release should just be to C-Rpg players, cuz you know we all have our tongues so far up your ass there will be nothing but good reviews.

For an early release, I don't ask for any extras except full creative control.

So, where will these review be? Only way to do this, would be start promoting the game after everyone from here buys it on Steam EA, while it's known to almost nobody and then after we saturated the page with positive reviews, push the marketing. That would basically mean that it'd have to be on Steam, before Cologne and taking into account Greenlight...yeah, that's not happening.

His decision kind of depends on if you can "jump shot" in game or not. "Jump shot" being shooting while in air with a bow or crossbow like crpg had before. He is a massive meme kid so the inclusion of this feature is necessary for his purchase and enjoyment. Can any of you developers confirm or deny if "jump shot" will be a "feature"?
