[unsung story] Can I just say again that I have SO much respect for Little Orbit
Quinneapolis
they are so unbelievably dedicated to making this game come out and be good
Quinneapolis
they probably aren't actually equipped to do that, realistically
Quinneapolis
but they're trying SO HARD
Quinneapolis
they put out a demo finally and people complain about the ways it's bad and they just throw all those parts in the dumpster and redesign the entire mechanical core of the game from SCRATCH
Quinneapolis
they went back to the drawing board with class design and they're putting out one design document a week, putting the design concepts behind the class and their implementation and language across multiple pages
Quinneapolis
they put so much research into the triangle grid, at length, came to the conclusion that it sucked, and threw it out and went back to a traditional square grid
Quinneapolis
they got the shittiest deal ever with this project
Quinneapolis
NOBODY had any hope
Quinneapolis
the old owners gave them NOTHING to work with
Quinneapolis
and they've just been plugging away, with regular updates, for YEARS
Gabiluzbad
Where yare they getting money???
Quinneapolis
I don't KNOW
Quinneapolis
who are these people
Quinneapolis
they have zero experience making srpgs but they're so all in on making it work
Princess Emily
I mean I think they did get the original Kickstart money
Princess Emily
and there was a lot of Kickstart money
AzureChrysanthemum
I don't think there was anything left though
Quinneapolis
the new class design docs feel almost valorish
Quinneapolis
in terms of design mindset
BERSERKER
Yeah I think the original devs burned the Kickstarter money trying to make a mobile pvp clash of clans
Quinneapolis
Unsung Story is such a wild parallel to Mighty No. 9
Quinneapolis
both kickstarter projects evoking an old classic series while being led by a big name associated with it
Quinneapolis
one releases relatively promptly and is just absolutely awful
Quinneapolis
the other crashes into a volcano, only to come crawling onto the shore, on fire
Quinneapolis
still crawling towards quality
EsperBot
MN9 did have a whole series of delays (apparently trying to make a multiplayer feature nobody wanted to work)
Quinneapolis
then there's bloodstained, which came out and was good
