http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lootdrop/an-old-school-rpg-by-brenda-brathwaite-and-tom-hal
| Quote: | Gather your bearings and belongings, leave town, and embark on a journey in a world that seems at once welcoming and friendly... until you meet its dark side!
THE CHARACTERS
Characters: Create a group of up to 4 characters, choosing from multiple races and professions.
Skills: Balance your characters' strengths, weaknesses and skills, knowing each of them affects play.
Progression: Gain experience and gain levels to hone your characters to your exact liking.
Recruitable Characters: Hire NPCs to work with you, if you trust them, or allow them to hire you to be their guide.
Character Extensions (Stretch Goal): Wrestle with the old-school favorites from back in the paper days - alignment, age, rank and randomly-rolled temperament.
THE WORLD
Exploration: Explore a richly detailed world, home to unique, dangerous and sometimes crafty creatures who may be friend or foe.
Treasure: Loot castles, caverns and dungeons and defeat hordes of creatures in a world where your skill and cunning are key.
NPCs: At least five known NPC races call this world home. Forge alliances with them and do their bidding - or be their undoing.
Quests: Solve hundreds of quests on your way to discovering and uncovering the secrets of the world.
Multiple Endings: The smallest of intentions sometimes matters far more than you know. It is a world alive with memories.
Multiple Beginnings (Stretch Goal): The endings in one game affect the beginnings in another. Import your characters from one world to another.
Combat: Turn-based combat harkens back to the days when spells and swords hit hard and last-second healing spells saved the day.
NPC Enemies (Stretch Goal): What once was a relatively peaceful world becomes much more dangerous not only for you, but for those who live there. New NPCs come complete with an expanded game area and quests.
... AND MORE
Super Hardcore Mode (Stretch Goal) : Challenge yourself with Permadeath mode, no-save option and some optional but barely beatable bosses with the loot to prove their worth.
Pen & Paper RPG ($60 Reward Tier): Gather around a table and enjoy playing Old School RPG the seriously, really old school way.
Two Games, One Kickstarter ($1.9M Stretch Goal): Brenda and Tom make different, separate RPGs with unique worlds, quests and characters.
It's exactly the type of RPG we love to make and to play! We’ll put into the game all the passion we summoned for the award-winning RPGs we've worked on, and take you along for the ride. Even the mere mention of “old-school RPG” fills you with ideas, and we can’t wait to hear them!
You gain exclusive access to our forums where Tom and Brenda will chronicle every phase of the game’s development and invite your feedback into the game’s design.
You vote on design decisions when the team needs your input.
You receive regular video updates.
... and all the Kickstarter rewards to boot! |

They need to work on that presentation. After reading whole block of text on their kickstarter page I still have no idea on how this game will look. Is it 2D? 3D? Has it first person perspective? Isometric? Topdown?

What does Doom have to do with character development, still the resume doesn't look that bad otherwise, might work but a million is still quite a bit of money to try and raise.
EDIT: Lots of titles that the team has previously worked on, I don't think I've heard about Loot Drop before though, probably missed it somewhere or they haven't released anything larger themselves yet.
EDIT: John Romero?
(That's pretty interesting.)

heh sorry, that chick just has something to her that screams it all over the place.
A typical chick that would abuse ANY situation into her advantage without any regret afterwards.

I like the sound of the interchangeability between the two games. I think I'll keep an eye on this.

They only deliver the game to continental US..seriously?
it wouldn't be that much more expensive to include Canada, or at least major destinations.

She's dominating John Romero. |

I saw things like that in here and in other "woman problems" topics so...... Am I the only one that thinks some authorities needs to be alerted about Saner and him possibly being a rapist and/or kidnapper ? |
Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa! |

what's sad is that they already got more cash in the first couple hours than Nexus did in its first two days
Pledge to Nexus instead, bitches!

Honestly I don't know what to think about this one, seems like they went "oldschool RPG!1 + Super Hardcore mode" just to generate more hype
Sounds good on paper though. We'll see
