Having backed this feels better with every update. Not that it ever felt bad, mind you.

Chanters are a fantastic take on the Bard class.

The description reminded me of twisting songs for the bard in Everquest.
Thought I might extract the portrait and videos for the less observant:

"Hey you, Ripper; stop that rippin'! Don't make me ask you again!"
And here is the promised update:

They've also made a video which shows their great lighting/rendering engine:

I really like their "global illumination" approximation by simply sampling the final rendered scene around the characters. Very cheap, but does a good job in making everything fit together.
Also, don't miss the small segment at the end of the video (with what appears to be cloth simulation).

Don't be ridiculous.
It's still 11/10 which is totally realistic and serious and not hyperbolic at all 
Having not quite kept up with this: Have they officially adopted the de-boobsified Cadegund, then? Looks a lot more appropriate now.
The current Cadegund art has been around almost since the beginning. The boobplate version was only around for maybe a week or two at the start.
My brain!
God I love when they rotate the camera like that. Still kind of blows my mind.

it's impressive how technically competent obs looks in some of these updates
i mean previous to this you'd imagine they were just like 5 random dudes designing on a hacked version of d&d and then like fiddling with the drag and drop options in a poorly made third party editor

I don't know about that, Dungeon Siege 3 was an entirely custom engine (Onyx) and it performed well on PC and 2 consoles.it's impressive how technically competent obs looks in some of these updates

yea i mean it worked but it was nothing to be impressed about. like it looked ok and ran ok but this is pretty amazing looking stuff
like all the dynamic lighting on 2d backgrounds is pretty cray. like i know enough tech to know it's nothing unimaginable but i can't think of any other game that's done something like that at least to this degree of sophistication and with end results looking this good.
i'm guessing there's probably other games, tho, i just don't know em

According to Something Awful, there's gonna be an update later today.
I'm assuming it's the press demo.

Cool. I thought we would get nothing until next week.

I'm guessing what's going on is they are going to stream the press demo so they don't get a bunch of shit from backers.
I would like that, but I don't think it will happen. A video later in the day, maybe.
Adam Brennecke (one of the producers) has confirmed that they will show the game at E3 tommorrow.

I love the look of the grass roof!
P:E, the new Divinity and Wasteland 2 (and Underrail) this is truly a magnificent year for cRPG fans.
