Igynpadca Single-Player Game
« on: September 24, 2015, 06:33:39 pm »

Hey, guys! I'm sorry I haven't been as active in the Igynpadca thread as I have in the past, but I haven't really been playing the game much. My life has gotten a lot more busy lately, so I don't really have time for MMOs.

But I hear Generic Game Company has started a spin-off single-player version. Has anyone heard anything about it?

Yeah, the rumors seems to be confirmed. http://www.genericgamecompany.com/Igynpadca/single-player/

Dunno how it can stand up to the MMO, but we will see.

If nothing else, the graphics look pretty good.

I take it from the steam lobster that this takes place before the MMO? It just makes me worried that they are going to end up ret-coning a lot of the lore...

Yeah, looking at the dev page, the game apparently takes place during the Time of Spiders, which has often been hinted at in-game but never really fleshed out that much.

And the devs say they'll avoid problems with ret-conning by making all the important NPCs turn out to be clones.

But didn't the Age of Arachnids happen in a separate timeline in a parallel 'verse anyway? Or are we talking about different time periods?

Quote from: Vladimir Ivanov, Creative Director of GGC Russia
We fully intend to revolutionize localization by making the different languages wholly different experiences. Our version, for example, is situated on the peninsula of Gavol instead of the archipelago of Tarcatinca.
I'm not so sure how much I like this. To me it seems they just want to make more money by selling the same game with minor changes to those fans who would buy every game and paraphernalia.

Nonono, at max level, you can make a black hole harness and restart in the Age of Arachnids in the MMO.
But I think in an interview one of the developers mentioned an "alternate alternate universe."

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Have you seen the planned Day 1 DLC? It's ridiculous. They actually locked the Archaeologist class behind a paywall! Such bullshit.

You seem to be a bit confused. The Time of Spiders is totally different from the Age of Arachnids. For one thing, it involved way less scorpions. Also

So is the game actually out yet? Is it in beta? I can't find it anywhere!

Closed Beta. You needed to preorder the game five years ago (while it was still in secret development) to get into it now. My policy of sending $50 to random game companies every few months finally paid off.

Huh, it must be really weird playing in the non-dev builds. Scoots just mentioned on Twitter how he finally managed to fix the bugs with castles moving randomly and waffles barking when not put in a toaster.

Oh my, I am so hyped! I'm afraid it doesn't live up to the MMO though.

Keep in mind Scoots' been known to tweet crunked out of his mind. The waffle barking bug is probably still in.

That sounds like something that ought to be made into a pet or familiar or whatever they're going to call them, actually. I haven't seen this bug in action, since I'm not in the closed beta, but are you sure it's not an intentional feature?
