So the
KillStealKickStarter Campaign for Melee: Battlegrounds is on. In these harsh & ruthless times Crowd Funding a project of any kind is not the easiest thing to do, no matter its nature. Market is brutal, people are fed up with false promises, whether they lack money or time is not so important but if they lack faith & belief then its even worse. This is what this thread is all about: having faith & believing in success of this project.
Anyone can pledge a few bucks and hope for the best but not anyone can have so much faith in success to pledge something more than money at the moment when even some basic have not been made certain. I'm so convinced that this thing will go through that I'm gonna pledge myself into trying to bring something into a game which is not even remotely confirmed. I expect you folks to write down as well what you intend to bring into M:BG, once its done. As we already know: almost everything will be possible (in one way or another) so what will you do in M:BG to enhance it as a game and help its community ? How will you behave & play ? Will you do any modding ? What kind of clan will you try to create & roleplay ? What kind of videos will you make ? What kind of maps or items will you try to create ? What area of yourself or the game will you try to improve ? What kind of ideas do you have and from what kind of sources ?
I'll start:
In M:BG I'm gonna try to make some maps (if the Map Editor is not too complicated to use). The first scene I'll try to make will be to commemorate one of the people who are creating this awesome game: our dear Zimke Zlovoljni, historical researcher, the Deckard Cain of Melee: Battlegrounds. I'll make a map of a location known as Kosovo Polje, a historical place in Serbia known for a great battle back in 1389 AD. Once I'm done with the map (ofc I plan to study its appearance to make it as close to realism as possible, the way Zimke likes it) I will try to organize an event: a recreation of Kosovo Battle, between Serbian Army and the invading Ottoman Forces (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kosovo). Hopefully we will have more than enough historically accurate gear to equip both armies
.
I will take command of the Serbian Army with high hope that our dear Zimke will join us, as one of our leaders & heroes, he can be our own Miloš Obilić if he wants. I will make it as accurate as possible, we will fight outnumbered and no Turk will be allowed to fight on our side, not even Reyiz or Cicero. They are free to join their beloved Kapikulus on the other side, who will hopefully be there to make things easier for us.
History tells us that Serbs lost this epic battle but those of us who know better are familiar with the fact that its a lie (constructed in the Congress of Berlin, 1878. and maintained ever since), Serbs actually won (though they lost a good part of their prominent leaders due to some unfortunate circumstances) but over the course of time they (I won't reveal who at this moment) twisted it into a defeat and to this day its what kids at school still learn.
Hopefully - our dear Zimke and the rest of us will rewrite history (or even fix it, whatever term you prefer more) and we will have one hell of an event with some great fun for lots of players.
I have a few more ideas of what I would like to do but they are kind of a secret that will only be revealed to certain people.
Remember: its more than a year away from becoming reality so we have some time to kill and even if we forget what we pledged this thread can at least serve as a reminder of our faith.
Or our broken dreams.
Now - let your TRUE pledging begin !!!!!!
