This is what they said:
Does the game support local and online multiplayer?
Yup! Both works, at the same time.
Note: By local we meant LAN(Local Area Network) so you would still need separate device and copies of the game to play together without going online.

The wings thing kind of makes me want to pledge less now. I really dislike tactics like this.
Looking at it with a bit of suspicion I can see how those wings might appear as a money grab tactic (to try to get people to raise pledges) but, to be honest, to me it feels like a simple gift for the people backing the game.
Maybe it should have been a set of wings no matter the backing tier.

It probably should have been a single type of wings across all tiers. The most 'fair' and balanced option.

Yeah, I think this is what they should have done. Oh well. Still going to get the game, but I'm dropping down to the cheapest tier now.
It's over nine hundred!
Congrats !
They have backups, which is great. But it must be such a terrible feeling to have your equipment stolen like that. I hope the thieves are caught.
Oh dear... hopefully this doesn't set them back too far.
Holy fuck. That's awful.
Man. This blows.
Wow that is horrible. I hope they can get back on track as soon as possible.
After such an amazing kickstarter...
Oh no! That's awful! I hope you guys can recover from this and they find the thieves. :/
Finding the thieves would be nigh impossible, I think. Burglaries happen not uncommonly on long weekends here (5 days), and PC parts are extremely hard to trace.
It could have been worse - from what I understand the dev team was essentially going to be moving out to a better/bigger location as a result of the campaign, and most have done quite a bit of work remotely, so considering the data is safe it's not as much of a setback as it could have been.
The big thing would be the impact it has on the TGS demo considering TGS is... two weeks away.
I think a bigger kick in the guts are people requesting refunds (especially after such a great campaign), but hey, in the end it's totally understandable considering how many past projects have shit the pool for crowdfunding goodwill and I'd sooner wish that this country wasn't such a festering shithole in terms of petty crime than I'd wish Kickstarter wasn't such a relative shaky position compared to five years ago.

Oh guess you can't

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Looks interesting, I'll keep an eye out for it.
There have been refund requests because the dev team disclosed they have been victims of burglary? I really hope not though I wouldn't be too surprised if that was the case.
Damn. That sucks .
Interviewed them last week. DC is a pretty cool guy.
Some interesting take aways:
.Interviewed them last week. DC is a pretty cool guy.
Some interesting take aways:
- Will need a larger team to meet all stretch goals.
- No procedurally generated areas.
- Probable reveal related to underwater farming after/around TGS.
- In the process of deciding on a publisher ("If they're willing to guide us, that will make sure we have the capability to start Re:Legend 2, 3, and 4 without fail. That is the main interest in having a publisher.)
- Dynamic music, similar to FF is on the cards.
- Cross-platform play is being worked on, dependent on Sony.
- As for physical editions - they want to do it, depends on the community.

huh I thought the final stretch goal was a procedurally generated zone. It says "random final dungeon, random end game boss" Honestly the only reason I backed was to hit that. Definitely my mistake for misinterpreting but I'm sure the game will be great either way.
FWIW, I ran the entire piece by them before publishing - something we usually do with indies to avoid any confusion or drama. My interpretation of his statement is with regards to the overall design.
Right, that's referring to the biomes, or the story zones in general.
While prefab-based worlds can work (like Diablo, and the game does lean quite a bit into Diablo-style framework for multiplayer) it's definitely a different experience from specifically designed zones.
edit: Great interview, btw

Coming from you, that's high praise. Thank you.
Hopefully the team gets things in place in time for TGS. Looking forward to some underwater farming details.
New update out:
Monthly Update #1: New Office, Tokyo Game Show, September Pick-a-Magnus, Game Progress
The temporary office looks nice and it's also nice to see their local government agency being supportive:
Also, monthly pick-a-Magnus:
Definitely G for me because the moment I saw that Magnus I thought of LWA Sucy.

The new office will be ready in early November and we're currently setting up a temporary office in a space provided by our local government agency. They have been really helpful and supporting us throughout the whole theft incident so we're really grateful for that. Here's our temporary office! <3
Also, monthly pick-a-Magnus:
Pick-a-Magnus Rules:
1) We will be posting a set of Magnus concept labelled from A - J.
2) You will go through every single one of them and select your favorite concept.
3) Leave a comment about your pick and explain why.
4) The Magnus with the most votes will be added to Re:Legend in-game.
Note: you can only select ONE, so pick carefully.
Definitely G for me because the moment I saw that Magnus I thought of LWA Sucy.
Man, I am very conflicted about C, F and G. It's like a Pokemon starter trio. Water, Fire and Grass.
