Is it me or does Pantheon look like crap?

And vanguard...

I actually loved vanguard.....once they sorted everything out. Raiding Ancient Port Warehouse is a very vivid memory. There has been an emulator in the works for like 3-4 years. Haven't checked on it in a while, but from what I remember its development was similar to p99. AKA a couple dude who loved the game and wanted to bring it back.

I think it's more akin to Vanguard. It's not going to be an unrealized, unrealistic pipe dream like Next. It'll instead be a sloppy mess that made big promises, drops the ball on launch, and limps around until it's death with a few hundred players who will swear for the next ten years it was amazing after they fixed all the issues.

Sometimes a historian will retell an event that happened 800 years ago with such thoroughly researched accuracy and detailed description that you could swear he was there to see it himself, because passion justifies effort

Either that or I'm a time traveler

Im not a backer, but I will play devils advocate and say that kickstarters versus mainstream game creation has one major difference in the supposed illusory "length" of creation.. because when a mainstream game is announced, its gone years and years past its developmental start, and kickstarters you hear about before development begins. So it appears to take longer, even in the rarer success stories of kickstarter games.

Totally agree with this. I was frustrated at how long pantheon was taking to create so I started researching how long other games took to create. I found information that made me feel much better. Most other games that were created by much larger teams that also had way more money available still took years to get to beta.

My only fear is that technology changes so fast when a game takes 6+ years to finish, unless the contest is truly amazing, it'll fail due to it feeling old.

I actually just backed the game a few days ago. I understand it might not succeed, but I backed it because I have hope. I wanted to support the idea of the game.

hmm, anyone testing Saga of Lucimia? is this positive incline or kidney stabber decline?

Lucimia is touting its new patcher, shared banks, inventory upgrades, and nerfed overland animals in the outpost zone (they’re harder as you spread out; for example, “mobs in the 4k zone are tuned for groups of 4 to 8 players”). Wounds and battle fatigue are in too, in case you’re up for some of those old-school “designed downtime” mechanics.

Vanguard was the best video game I've ever played.
