I love the looks. You know, in many games, the longer I play, the less I care about the graphics - it starts coming in my way. If I could just have tokens in HoMM III... And there, there is just enough graphics to make it feel 2043, and not a bit more. Like someone wise once said, the project is perfect not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to subtract.
Yes, I'm strange, I admit that.
Yeah, I do want it to have a sharp look eventually, but it's less of a priority than gameplay of course. They're important for bringing people into the game, though, and realling immersing people in the world and connecting to the characters!
Also, pretty pretty graphs <3
As of yesterday, Spark is still aiming for first playable launch on the 30th! I think I might keel over from shock if a KS project actually manages to hit their projections. Netgain has the potential to become the next Liberal Crime Squad and I couldn't be more excited.
Yeah, the prototype is much less than I was hoping for, but it's still playable and the whole point is to build it up while you guys play anyway. Luckily I had more than a few contingencies in place for just such delays! I definitely think fans of LCS will like this as well!
Hmm, do backers receive e-mails about the progress of this? I backed on Paypal and I haven't received any mail yet, so I was just wondering if that was just me or if everyone was getting e-mailed at a later date.
Everyone will get an email whether for the kickstarter or paypal. Paypal should have sent out receipts for everyone when you pledged. I'm only sending emails for launch so to not bother people, otherwise you can follow progress on the FB or twitter.

Seconded. While I'm not expecting a ton out of the prototype, for people that have played LCS, its unfinished UI and such shouldn't provide a big barrier to enjoyment.
Hey sparks, you were planning on eventually having visuals as was shown in the KS right? Something about the panoramic view of the city really adds to the atmosphere.
That's the hope on both counts! The city got pushed back a lot since it's a purely visual element that requires a significant amount of work, but yeah the BG will be prettier than a blue screen. In a few weeks I hope to have a basic pre-genned city placeholder. The rest of the graphics will take their time, being implemented once their features are locked down... but right now there's still a ton of core game to make!
