Lord British kickstarter sitt nya RPG spel Shroud of the Avatar
Shroud of the Avatar har redan uppnått sitt mål på Kickstarter. Det är dock fortfarande 6 dagar kvar på Kickstarter klockan.
Jag vart tämligen förvånad när jag hörde att självaste Lord British (Richard Garriott) dragit igång en Kickstarter kampanj för sitt nya RPG spel "Shroud of the Avatar". För det första, vi pratar om en person som är rik som ett troll. Om en person som köpt slott, åkt ut i rymden och köpt dyra bilar och båtar.
Känns det inte lite typ...ehrm, konstigt att en väldigt rik person ber vanliga knegare om pengar till sitt projekt? Det var i alla fall det första som jag kom att tänka på. Jag har dock inget emot Lord British . Jag menar, han skapade ju hela Ultima serien för guds skull.
Mitt favorit spel i den serien är dock lungt Ultima VIII Pagan. Herre jäklar vad man spelade det spelet som liten. Så lite nyfiken är jag nog allt på Shroud of the Avatar i alla fall. Och det tycks ju som om Lord British vill skapa ett spel som toppar alla hans tidigare skapelser.
Vi får se hur det blir med den saken. Nu har han ju fått in de pengarna som han behöver för sitt Shroud of the Avatar via Kickstarter. Så nu är det upp till bevis så att säga.
Produktbeskrivning:
"Shroud of the Avatar is the “spiritual successor” to Richard’s previous work in the FRP genre. Our primary objectives are to tell a story even more compelling than Ultimas IV-VII, create a virtual world more interactive than Ultima VII, develop deep rich multi-player capabilities beyond combat akin to Ultima Online, and offer a bold new approach to integrate them with “Selective Multi-Player”."
Features:
