Balrum - RPG on Kickstarter
« on: August 14, 2013, 02:04:37 pm »

Ran across a really promising looking Turn-based RPG on kickstarter. It's called Balrum, and looks to be pretty far along in development already.

Should be a good fit for B12ers, since it's very skill based and involves a lot of optional building and crafting.

Screenshot gallary

But, I found it rather late in the kickstarter cycle and it's about to expire. So if you guys want to back it, back it now so it actually gets funded.

It kind of isn't a mystery why this isn't going so well.

They are terrible at selling their own game. Look at how they talk about how building onto a house is a feature and then barely support it as a feature.

I mean Fallout 3 had upgradable houses but it was never a feature they would show at the back of the box.

This is supposed to be a sales pitch.

Wow, they somehow managed to gather the last 20% of the money in the last 16 hours.

Hopefully the game will be worth it.

Indeed. I am encouraged by the fact that they at least seem to have a lot of stuff already done. So if nothing else I expect the project to actually turn out an actual game in the end.

Hopefully it's a good one.
