Not even soup, just MSG with water and tapioca noodles

sell the game on its own merits dont pitch too hard ppl suspect BS'ing when its star-conflict esque smokes and mirrors. even if its half assed/scripted some just communicate to non cRPG players how fun shit like leading the defense of a strategus siege or crushthrough camping on the walls is by having ppl play it on your engine and hey you prob have hundreds of willing cRPG players here to fill up a test server in a couple weeks for a planned event to cut you guys some footage!

trust me if cRPG or M:BG was popular people would watch streamers of it and laugh cuz its real funny usually accidental teamkills piles of corpses killstealing etc the "essence of cRPG" that we all understand but outsiders won't unless you show what its like actually playing with friends and laughing at them sucking or betraying you

example being in UIF teamspeak while the stack of fully plated in elite russian themed armors spawnrape a peasant village with a mountan of corpses piling and everyone laughing in teamspeak about it with thick accented english raging at people not following orders thats all classic cRPG and feeling like an army genociding some shit city's population but in a fun way. or archers interrupting really good duels of the last 2 melee people fighting and everyone being disappointed at the realistic end and groaning "fuck ranged" you know I want to see more of the real good cRPG shit in your engine! itll sell itself

Give this man a job devs! Maybe he's not the hero Melee:BG deserves, but he's the one it needs right now

Haha thanks but I don't want a job I just want the game to be made so I can buy it and play the fucking thing!

cRPG has a lot of charm that isn't just ARENA WARBAND COMBAT that is obviously lost in kickstarter-type messaging and looks like generic warband/3rd person action game clone with lofty gamemode ideas that might turn people off. all the game articles I've read just say "A POPULAR WARBAND MOD CRPG THAT U LEVEL UP COOL HERES A KICKSTARTER LINK" which is real hollow sounding.

its really just a damn funny game to play with all the enviromental shit and engaging skill-based gameplay + dynamic teamwork that connects you to other players and the game instead of a disconnect like a floaty MMO. gotta nail that charm of real people doing stupid shit with deadly virtual melee weapons that makes it so entertaining (the real role playing aspect is the community-driven personality and presence of your character and faction, maybe now your castle style too, TRAP SPIKE DEATH ROOM TROLL (push the red button to activate) in-engine with stronghold, not grinding stats up on a webpage)

Is there a KS video planned for showing off the physics system?

That was one of main reasons why I invested initially; warband + physics based collisions  .

On more serious note - how the PR operations are going? Do you guys see any practical result of what was published up till now?

Hell, you need to make some 5$ or 10$ pledge option, this would bring you in much more money I guess. Right now you have to decide wether to donate very little or 20 times that amount. Too large gap imo, for example I can't donate 20$ right now but 5$ is really not much and I would chose that option.

You can pledge any amount. You can pledge $5 and select the $1 pledge. Keep in mind though, that you don't actually pay anything until the end of the campaign. It's a pledge afterall.
