Thank you Florian for spreading the word like this – suddenly my mailbox is overflowing with questions
Well, the truth of it is that we are thinking seriously about it but we're not 100% sure yet if we'll actually go ahead and do it. We are very tempted though.
IF we go to Kickstarter, the reason wouldn’t be to fund our current development (that’s already funded) but rather to increase the team we put on this so that we can add more skills, levels, monsters, quests, choices, consequences and obviously ideas such as for instance a “large two-handed sword inhabited by a malevolent spirit that could summon forth demonic powers upon request” (Kenneth Paul Kully) or “X% chance for a free turn after a kill.” (Stabbey) – or a big fiery seven-headed dragon that swallows zombies for lunch and regurgitates them (Swen) or a zeppelin which you can assemble and use to travel around the world , Ultima VII style (Swen) or all the weapon types David put on an enormously long list (David) or… well you get the idea I guess.
i.e. if we do it, we’d do it to make the game bigger and denser, everything you'd expect from a budget increase.
I personally think that if ever a Larian game deserved such a budget increase, then this would be the one, but I'm obviously biased
So imagine that a Kickstarter campaign were the thing necessary to put the above into the game, would you back it ? (Obviously that’s a tough question because you don’t know what’s in there already, but the Buffed.de article should give you an idea of what’s there– I think - my German isn’t as good as I sometimes think it is and Google definitely had a hard time with this one). And what would be your advise in how we approach it ?
