I was assuming they were placeholder just coz they're so bad :hihi: The rest of the game is looking really pretty now so they stick out even more.

c) they are way behind schedule and are trying to compress the time line to meet a specific date of delivery (the only real risk I see with (c) is that the game is in such poor state that testers can't give reasonable feedback).

I suppose there are other options that did not occur to me at the time I wrote this post (though they might occur to me the minute I hit submit) but i strongly suspect it is a combination of all three.

Now that there is an update, I believe it is D: They have no idea what is going to be wrong to their product so they need independent eyes to look at it.

If you watched the latest update, you'll see swen commenting on non-breaking game details but ruins immersion/balance (such as teleporting pyramids jail breaks, and cost of a cheap bow equals 4 spells). I think this is the purpose of doing the alpha access for everyone.

the music is awesome, Kirill did a wonderful job (as usual), even if it is a "step 2 music"
I need a collector version with the ST !! ^^

How did you back, through kickstarter, paypal or RPGCodex/RPGWatch?

Do you have a Larian Vault account linked to your kickstarter / paypal email? See update #51.
