    reminds me a lot of that game Journey that came out ages ago on the ps3. you'd travel the sands as a little person of some kind in a cloak and you would sometimes cross games with other players as they would show up in your game naturally. from there you could choose to progress together or just part ways as you saw fit. minimal emote style interactions too. I really liked that game a lot

      With that said i love the idea behind the game, when i used to play WoW i would spend a lot of time with my shaman in wolf form just exploring the Kalindor and meeting NPcs, back then they didn't had achivements for exploration, so i was doing it just to see the world, and this game is all about just that.

    If you check the Dev's background on Steam...over the past several years they have already developed and published several games like this before either in design and/or artwork, world build and lores.
    It seems that a buildup of work that culminates into this TMORPG. I have a good feeling that it will develop well. They are unlike others who promises a lot yet lack any precursor products.
    Also from the high positive reviews and sales of their previous products, I'm assuming that they are also solvent, financially capable to carry it through.

    "Everywhere you go, there was some kind of interesting thing happening, and then you talk to somebody and they're all like 'ugh, my cousin's late! I don't know where he's at. He was coming in along the southeast road' and then like obviously you get the challenge like 'okay I'm gonna go walk the southeast road'. And then you find the guy and he says that he dropped his lockbox somewhere in the woods, and then like now you're exploring the woods for the lockbox. And then you bring the lockbox back, and then he goes and meets with his cousin and you've *changed* something in the world."
    Basically this is a game of nothing but sidequests, and I love it.

      The story of TLOU1 itself isn’t what’s praised it was the characters and how they developed over the course of the game, that’s what made the game as good as it was, it’s the character driven narrative, TLOU2 failed because it essentially erased what made the first one so good by focusing *entirely* on its themes (which it does poorly still) over the actual development of characters, which again, literally made the first game what it was.
      And you keep saying “done and dusted” as if TLOU2 isn’t an outrageous revenge plot with a non sensical “twist” ending that thematically makes absolutely 0 sense. This is why TLOU2 got it’s heat, not because it tried something different but because it failed at doing so.

    I just want to say with my time playing the book of travels it was weird to get accustomed to the new style of play but I am use to playing the patient game so I gave it some time to sink in and every bit of it was new, the people I meet really did have an impact and even though communication was limited it reminds me of when I try to speak a different language, I can barely understand but I got the jest 😅. The impact of actually meeting someone is surprising and what’s cool is you’ll want to find someone even if it for a while because 4 arms is better then two when you’re lifting a bolder.

  • @DoomedPaladin
    @DoomedPaladin 3 года назад +1

    This game reminds me of another "trading" game Splatt covered awhile back, of the ttRPG Ryuutama, and of The Banner Saga. The covered game was your character taking over a business from her(?) parent(s) and had a kind of cartoony art style, and looked very interesting. Ryuutama is a Japanese ttRPG that is commonly described as "Hayao Miyazaki's Oregon Trail" and is a collaborative storytelling game (and would probably make an amazing video game).
    This one looks nice and relaxing. That tea and knot magic are in here really speaks to the laid-back feel of this game; as both are refined and storied traditions in real life. Splatt keeps mentioning "becoming part of the world" and it makes me hope that there's some amount of response from the game itself as you adventure. NPCs mentioning your (and other player's) name/nickname, and the events you are a part of, as you level up. I'd find that _extremely_ satisfying.

    When you open the game, you see "Twelve Minutes" then the letters go away one by one and you are left with a small word.
    But not always the same.
    You can be left with "Lies" or with "Ten".
    Ten is probably a hint to make you realize that your loops are ten minutes long, not 12.
    It can make you wonder what you have to do to get those 2 extra minutes.

    this is definitely my kind of game but I feel it might take a few practice tries to get into it
    I love role playing, but it has to be...right.
    and I feel this has just the right mechanics and atmosphere to be "right"
    I feel like you really get to create your own person, and not in a way where it relies on you to come up with everything which is hard for me, but also not too little where all you get to choose is your name and how you look which then it feels too fake of a character
    this has just enough story elements, where you can live what your traits are etc, where its a perfect middle between creating a character from scratch and creating a character within an established environment
    like, I can see myself being able to come up with background bc its not just going off of 1 race which comes with its own history and lore. it's choosing from a bunch of different puzzle pieces and I get to fill in the blanks of my unique puzzle that likely no one else will have exactly
    but yeah this game feels a little intimidating with the permadeath, that makes me a little anxious bc I know if I love the character I create It will be hard or even impossible to start up a new one if I die
    but if I can try a demo and see, I might find that I'm OK with dying if I do. idk.
    it definitely stands out, and feels like it's worth the risk of anxiety, because I think even getting in one good long game play would be worth the money even if I don't want to play again after dying
    kind of excited for this and most likely going to get, if not full price then on sale
    edit: I get anxious over continuous time too, unless there's no consequences. I hate feeling like I have to stick to it and it leads to obsession. so I'd like to know how much consequence there is to missing a day or whatnot

    Got this game and played it a bunch with my wife. Not personally a fan of the art-style or some of the eye-rolling social-commentary fluff but the game has some good potential, a great premise and is fun to explore.
    The only real major gripe I have with it right now is that the game experiences heavy de-sync between players right now (even with just 2 players in a server), so if you get it to play with a friend or significant other like myself (or even just random strangers, as many tasks in the world require multiple people) then be prepared to lose some time figuring out if you're de-sync'd and one (or both) of you having to re-log - sometimes pretty frequently. It really breaks up the flow of an already slow-paced game. I hope they fix it cos the game is full of love and care and has the potential to be a real sleeper hit.

    This is neat. On a side note, i feel tempted to make a game called "something else" so that splat keeps promising to check it out every outro. :)

    I like the idea of gaining "knowledge" instead of XP/EXP or "experience". After all, what is experience but knowledge?

    Love the artstyle, just wish they made it singleplayer and offline.

    You've explained this game really well and I'm thoroughly interested. I hope I get the chance to play it at some point.

    Interesting, this sort of reminds me of the Sunless SkIes/Sea series of games, so I think I'll give it a buy. Thanks for the quick look!
