I heard this game is being developed by one guy only. How is that possible ? (even if he's outsourcing).

No sleep, three times ramen a day?

 

[Little Chicken]

Out on Game Pass soon for those who want to try it.

 

[StueyDuck]

It's like a City builder right?

Honestly there's like a 1000 of these medieval builder games they all blend into one game for me

 

[kiphalfton]

Well yeah. You can play as a pimp in this game.

[TintoConCasera]

It's like a City builder right?

More like a cross between a medieval SimCity (Banished?) and Total War, with sprinkles of Civilization thrown in there.

Game seems very cool, I'm no usually into those but I might give it a go later on when I have more time.

 

[dispensergoinup]

I skipped Dragon's Dogma 2 knowing this was coming this month. Please be good.

Sometimes the lack of gaming knowledge on this dedicated forum is astonishing. It’s like there’s no other games in this medium outside the yearly 10 AAA games released.

This an enthusiast forum where people prefer to argue about sales figures than play games.

This being developed by one guy gives me great hope for the future of gaming. We don’t need bloated monstrosities taking 7 years and 200 million to make great games.

Its a pc only rts. I don't play those.

This is true but the irony is that the forum also hates a big chunk of those AAA studios and laments the state of AAA gaming.

It's coming to consoles, at least Xbox afaik.

We just don't like games around here you know.

Here's a gameplay overview for anyone curious to see what all the fuss is about with this game

I mean, you're not wrong but at the same time there's dozens of games released and announced every day. Kinda hard to keep up with them all; especially in a genre you dont play much of. I bet my Steam wishlist would get a lot of "what dat" responses.

 

[Sentenza]

I was just thinking of starting a thread about this game and how CRIMINALLY OVERLOOKED is on this forum a couple of days ago.
I didn't just because I'm lazy as hell and busy replaying Elden Ring in my spare time.

 

[Thief1987]

Another day, another trash, which will be forgotten week later, is being overhyped by steam userbase

4 from the top 10 on GamePass for 2024. Not bad, bought I’m not sure Ark 2 is for me.

Hades 2 and Ghosts of Tsushima are certainly going to get bought.

 

[JCK75]

I am only hearing about it for the first time today and.. damn.. looks incredible.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Well yeah. You can play as a pimp in this game.

No, thanks. I play games to escape my reality and be someone else.

 

[DaciaJC]

People in the Total War and Mount & Blade communities have been looking forward to this for years now, it doesn't come as a surprise that it should be on so many wishlists. And I've said it before, but the fact that the entire thing has been developed essentially by just one dude is mindblowing.

 

[xBlueStonex]

And it's coming day one to Gamepass. Just like with Palworld, Phil stays winning.

Can you control a character during battles like in M&B?

 

[Jacob0101]

No, thanks. I play games to escape my reality and be someone else.

So you are living in medievel reality?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It doesn't look bad but this is far from my cup of tea.

 

[Sentenza]

Your cup of tea is piss, anyway.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Your cup of tea is piss, anyway.

I'm not seeing the level of hype for other bigger games but it is on Gamepass, I'll look at it but it looks less worth my time.

 

[DaciaJC]

Can you control a character during battles like in M&B?

No, I don't believe that's possible. Maybe Slavic Magic will decide to add that later on, but given how complex adding such a feature can be, I'm not counting on it.

 

[Little Mac]

4. Hollow Knight: Silksong

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Is that game where you can build the village and then walk around?

 

[TintoConCasera]

No, I don't believe that's possible. Maybe Slavic Magic will decide to add that later on, but given how complex adding such a feature can be, I'm not counting on it.

Oh okay, since you mentioned M&B I thought maybe it had that feature. Thanks anyway for the info!

 

[BossLackey]

Am I cool if I wishlisted this before the boom?

 

[Shake Your Rump]

We went from boasting sales figures, to "engagement", and now we announce wish list status. What's next? "5 million people hovered their mouse over our game icon!"

 

[Black_Stride]

Mate.

Theres people on here who straight face think Cyberpunk 2077 flopped.
ITs top 10 most played games of all time on Steam.
Its peaks on weekends higher than pretty much every SP game.

NeoGAF has some really out of touch posters who I often wonder if they actually like the gaming medium

[Danteyke223]

Whopsie guess Creative Assembly can start sweating lol

 

[gaming_again]

i can't wait for this to come out on the Xbox.

Hard to boast about engagement or sales for a game that's yet to release, eh?

Not exactly rocket science.

What this guy has done is crazy impressive but it's a huge outlier on what's possible in dev these days. Mostly because of too much meddling on board exec and HR levels.

 

[AJUMP23]

I cannot wait to subjicate and tax my serfs.

 

[March Climber]

I could rant and rave about good recent and upcoming MMOs, but I'm aware enough to know that certain genres aren't the most well received and don't get as much attention, even on enthusiast forums like this one.

I hope the city building RTS game you are anticipating turns out great.

 

[Robb]

Never heard of it, but it also doesn’t look like anything I’d be interested in.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Whopsie guess Creative Assembly can start sweating lol

It is becoming pretty apparent that a lot of established teams just too big for what they are delivering. Bigger team -> more expensive to run. Consult "partners" for more inclusivity affects costs too.

Indie and small developers don't do any of this. Thus more productive and cheaper.

Indies and smaller developers are struggling just as much these days. Bigger teams are required for AAA projects or projects with tons of content.

 

[Tomi]

This looks like best rts ever!

 

[TVexperto]

yawn...another early access game
