King's Bounty II - Preview @RPGamer

Posted on Jun 25, 2021 23:42 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]RPGamer has a preview for King's Bounty II. GameWatcher also had a bit to say about the choices you make and how it affects the quests available.

[​IMG]​

Between combat, the game plays much like other third-person open-world RPGs, complete with plenty of sidequests, areas to explore, and loot and resources to collect. The game map looks fairly large, and players have access to a horse for quicker travel between areas as well as a number of fast-travel points. Choice will play a large part in many of the game's quests, with players often given multiple ways to proceed, which will result in different outcomes and different opportunities in future. Though the main quest and its conclusion is largely the same, the game encourages multiple playthroughs not only through the choices in sidequests but how the different protagonists play. Some quests even have different potential solutions based on which protagonist is being played.

The area of the game's world that was shown is vibrant, with plenty of areas of interest and a good mixture of thriving plant life, medieval buildings, impressive marble, and more, with lots of hills and vistas overlooking mountains and lakes. The voice acting has a few stilted deliveries, though as many of the story and quest events were skipped it's difficult to fully judge how it will hold up across the game at this stage.

[...]

In a new hands-off press demo, developer 1C Entertainment highlighted one of King's Bounty 2's early starts, which sees the protagonist entering a conspirator's house to investigate an assassination attempt. After dealing with a pack of nasty undead, the protagonist ends up uncovering some helpful evidence.

At this point, the player can choose between handing it over to either the Assassin's Guild or the Captain of the City Guard. This choice changes "a lot of events in the game dramatically," according to 1C Entertainment CEO Nikolay Baryshnikov, making certain quest lines available while stopping you from accessing others during that playthrough.

Vagrus: The Riven Realms - Patch 0.6.20.

Posted on Jun 25, 2021 23:42 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]Vagrus: The Riven Realms got a new patch:

[​IMG]​

A New Build is OUT - Patch 0.6.20. - Codename: Target Acquired

This patch brings new features and a lot of changes to existing mechanics

Hey Folks,

it was amazing to see how our latest patch was received. So many great new reviews and quite a few previously negative ones flipped to positive. We appreciate you all immensely for your vote of confidence! Especially as apparently we left a huge bug in the game that made the late game easier, instead of the early game, as we originally intended. So that's getting fixed but what else comes in this new patch, you might ask? Let's dive in!

Crew Combat Appease Improvements

Appease is a feature that is still not used by many players, though it often holds the key to avoid major losses. With better Appease conversions, the option to offer items going forward, and the improved Auto Offer function, hopefully more players will benefit from this feature. Have we mentioned adding Beast Lures and Ahskulite Charms to distract beasts and Undead from your fleeing forces? Yep. Those. too, are now in the game.

Posted on Jun 25, 2021 23:42 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]The Action RPG Scarlet Nexus has been released:

[​IMG]​

SCARLET NEXUS - Launch Trailer

​

Unleash the Power of the Mind. In a far distant future, a psionic hormone was discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changing the world as we know it.

Just as humanity was entering this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a thirst for human brains. Highly resistant to conventional attack methods, extreme measures needed to be taken to battle the overwhelming threat and preserve humanity.

Featuring a dual story, begin your adventure with either Yuito Sumeragi, an energetic recruit from a prestigious political family or Kasane Randall, the mysterious scout whose power and skill has gained great notoriety among the OSF.

As their different experiences interweave with each other, it is only then that you will reveal the full story and unlock all the mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and psychic abilities in SCARLET NEXUS.

Black Geyser - Early Access Soon

Posted on Jun 25, 2021 05:22 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness will be going to Steam Early Access at an unspecified date.

[​IMG]​

Why Early Access?

"Black Geyser is a vast and complex roleplaying game in development by a small indie team, the game is designed to immerse the player in a medieval fantasy world infested by greed. Designing the world takes time, but we also want to open the world to players to gain valuable feedback on what systems do and don't work."

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

"We aim to release the full version of Black Geyser in Q1 2022. The exact release date may change depending on the feedback we receive from players."

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

"The final version of Black Geyser will include the full playable story of the game, alongside additional quests and companions to access. We hope to add more story content and polish to the game and expand on some of the already existing game systems, such as crafting and skills. We are aiming to have these items broken down into two phases:

EA Phase 2:
- Northern areas
- Backer rewards: custom spells, random encounters, items, plants
- Temple system
- Optimizations and performance enhancements
- Chapter 3 of main quest

EA Phase 3 (Full Game Launch):
- Stronghold System
- Desert Areas
- Improved item mechanics
- Full greed system
- Pets
- Optimizations and performance enhancements
- Deeper roleplay options in quests
- New item types
- Improvements to character models
- Visual improvements
- Chapter 4 (final chapter) of main quest"

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

"The scope of Black Geyser has increased since we first went to Kickstarter. Based on fan feedback, it has gotten bigger and bolder, with a larger world and more features. The early access version will be a fully playable roleplaying game with most in-game areas and some of the main plot. The first three chapters of the game will be playable on early access launch, with two more still in the making. Most in-game systems such as combat, skills, spells and crafting are finished and in the balancing and polishing stage."

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

"We are planning to offer the game at a lower price while in Early Access."

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

"We are looking forward to receiving feedback from our players on our Steam Forums and reviews, as well as on our Discord server. We will be implementing changes to content and balancing based on the feedback from the community in an effort to make the best experience possible for our players. We believe that player feedback is critical to the success of the game and we plan to fully integrate suggestions and fixes based on what you tell us!"

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem - Three Content Updates Coming

Posted on Jun 24, 2021 23:22 by RPGWatch

[​IMG]Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem will receive three further content updates this year according to the June update.

[​IMG]​

Development Update - June 2021

Hello everyone,

Today we want to give you more information on the timeline we are currently aiming for, and whilst we will always keep you up to date with our progress please bear in mind that it might be subject to change if we think a feature needs more development time.

Bloodstorm Part II (Content Patch 2) was released on May 18th and brought:
  • New monsters,
  • New environments,
  • Loot Filter improvements,
  • Animation improvements for almost every skill in the game,
  • The Sarisel and Tributary items marked in the stash/inventory,
  • Quality of Life improvements.
Early/Mid July: Content Patch 3

This content patch will bring:
  • Summons Revamp,
  • New environments,
  • New skills' damage type variations,
  • New Cosmetic Armor,
  • Quality of Life improvements.
The changes to the summons that we are implementing are massive - they will include:
  • Complete cosmetic revamp - Models, animations, and VFX entirely redone,
  • Skill mechanics redesigned - Improved behavior and control,
  • Having them respawn automatically,
  • Seeing their damage in their tooltips and on-screen
  • Power scaling with your character, equipment, and Gate of Fates nodes.
September/October: Content Patch 4

This content patch will bring:
  • New end-game activities and rewards system,
  • New monsters,
  • New environments,
  • New skills damage type variations,
  • New Cosmetic Armor
Our goal is to add new mission types and better rewards mechanics for our end-game system, we will give you more details on these in future Development Updates.

November/December: Content Patch 5
  • New environments,
  • New monsters,
  • Controller Support,
We have a dedicated team working on Controller Support and are making sure the feature is ergonomic and player-friendly. We're aiming for a release in November/December, although, as previously stated, this might be subject to changes based on how well we progress on its development.

Crafting: We initially planned on implementing a few changes to the User Interface and crafting items description, as well as changing the Abyssal Tear item's behavior. However, the Crafting system as it currently is needs more than a few tweaks, thus, we will take more time to work on this feature, and will let you know about the changes we are planning in an upcoming Development Update.

Bug fixing: We will continue to work on bug fixing, as we have always done. Improving the core of the game is still a priority in our workflow. We will add bug fixing patches in between content patches whenever possible, as well as bug fixes within Content Patches like it was the case for Bloodstorm Part II.

Quality of Life improvements:

We will keep browsing through all the suggestions you send us daily, identify which ones are the most upvoted/asked for, and try to select some of them to be added to each content patch

We will tell you more about the features previously announced here in our future Monthly Development Updates.

Thank you very much for your support.

As they do, however, they slowly come face-to-face with the criminal corruption gripping their city. Little do they know just how deep the shadows of Crossbell City go...
