Demo out for Kickstarter Infinity Engine clone from Atom RPG devs. Classless skill-based system, turn-based or RTWP combat. Looks like BG1 aesthetics recreated in a 3d engine.
Anyone tried the demo? I played it for a bit and the gameplay seems to mainly revolve around painting in giant maps.

I will play the demo. Never heard of these people, was atom RPG ok, or shit?
Yes.
Denpends on who you ask. The game has some fans. For me, it was shit. I didnt even touch it.
I found Atom RPG to be a really shit game
Play Trudograd then, it's pretty cool!
i guess it's okay if you like old fallouts, i found role-playing part to be lacking though
>found role-playing part to be lacking though
That's disappointing.
Just a lack of dialogue options, interaction outcomes, or a bit of both?
How do people feel about 'fluff' responses in dialogue? Like, multiple options that just lead to the same outcome?
Goddamn it looks ugly. ATOM wasn't that pretty either but this looks even worse somehow.
Backgrounds ok~ish, but sprites and ui is atrocious.
I'm getting bored roaming around the overwhelmingly enormous map but maybe people like that kind of thing.

Ah, to be in high school again
>I'm getting bored roaming around the overwhelmingly enormous map but maybe people like that kind of thing.
That's pretty much my feeling. This isn't really like the games they claim to have modeled it after at all. You start the game with a fetch quest to deliver a non-descript amulet and then wander around in a generic world full of uninteresting people and extremely boring combat encounters, with extremely limited character progression. Feels like its made for people who jerk off over speech checks mostly, the type where the game just feels like its playing itself on its own as an expression of the character you created. If this was not a demo I would have refunded by now.
>enormous map
doesn't look that big to me
>If this was not a demo I would have refunded by now
yeah it's rather basic, especially the combat
the balance is also really shit
the salamander creatures dodge my attacks several times and my guy takes up a whole turn just to do one attack
then later I stumbled upon a bunch of wolves and they couldn't hit me at all probably because of damage threshold
>A classless roleplaying system: each stat combination provides a unique gaming experience, distinctive dialogues, and novel ways to solve quests;
I think the devs are mentally challenged
how is an option that gives you only +1 to a stat and a small skill bonus supposed to be a class
>we are not working with classes trust me
the concept of classless as just a negation of itself does not make a lot of sense
you are not working with nothing, you work with something, you work with classes
I'm pretty sure that's a violation of some law out there

video games are becoming boring maybe it's also because of what this old fart said
your game is no expection just press the inventory button

Played it graphics are nice the setting is more interesting then atom. Shame the gameplay is bad. Did a charisma character made it to first town attack a pig infinite loop pig running away uninstalled.
From what I see the game is going to be really painful playing a non combat focused character with all the critters everywhere maybe better with real time once that is added cause the turn based is pointless waste of time.
If the story is good, I'll buy it.
>they brought Hex back
no fricking way lol
You have a good eye, pal!
Congrats on being the first person to notice it! It's all gonna come together.
Yea well das cuz the wolves can buff themselves if they buffed themselves you wouldn't be writing this!!1 Jokes aside, it's just a demo. Things will improve with every update for a very long time before they're cast in stone.
You can always get party members. The pigs and chickens starting combat bug was fixed, it was due to a faction issue.
Enormous... yet filled with many tittylating secrets! Have you even seen the rat cart? Or the skeleton surprise?
Thanks 4chong, you are the harshest critic but also the most astute and keen-eyed individual.
Fix your shitty game, slavBlack person.
>Jokes aside, it's just a demo. Things will improve with every update for a very long time before they're cast in stone.
Based dev.
I didn't really enjoy the demo but I'm wishing you the best with it. The genre needs smaller devs like you to be successful.
Subsidizer of mediocrity in the name of "genre" detected.
Sucker of wieners in the name of "homosexualry" detected.
Pretty much tbh, I am an rpg junkie who doesn't need every game to be a masterpiece. I mean there are maybe a dozen masterpieces in the history of WRPGs, it's unreasonable to expect that level for every release. If the devs are shitting out two or three Expeditions Vikings or Tyranny tier 7/10 rpgs every year I'm happy and the genre is in a good place for me.
>WRPGs
Fake fan detected.
what is the point of cluttering up the thread with inane bullshit like this
I'm on a crusade against the "WRPG" designation. I consider it vital.
ok so the answer as always is autism
If your worldview is that anyone better than you is autistic, sure. Have you considered becoming a janny, I hear you can police threads as you like then.

All those styles of barbeque tell you something about them. "Western" tells you nothing.
Keep going, anon. You're almost there. I believe in you.
Coward.
>muh ultrarealistic graphixxxx
looks like shit.
doesn't look very realistic to me. more fanciful and stylized, it's just far too cluttered with details.
>visible Hesperus Star in the loading screen
what did they mean by this?
>Atom RPG devs
Did they learn that players want to play as male characters and have female companions or is the party roster another gay sausage fest? It's moronic how the Atom games were designed with extreme favoritism for female protagonists that want to prostitute their bodies out to men to solve quests. Some weirdo autogynephilia shit going on there. Pic related, the average Atom RPG fan.
You spend way too much time on /misc/. Whoring yourself out (no matter the gender) was a Fallout 2 thing, and the ATOM games are a love letter to classic Fallout. Frick off to your JRPGs if you want harem shit
Ok troony
Nobody likes troony homosexuals and nobody likes troony homosexual games, it's easy to understand for normal people.
Which gaem?
This thing has soul but I'm seeing a disconnect between 3D artworks and GUI style, seems separated.
>ATOM games were basically Russian made Fallout 1/2 clones
>but this new game only lists English as the solely available language
>check out the forums
>dev says the game is being written in English (similar to Pathfinder/Rogue Trader etc), Russian localization might not even happen because Russians are poor and pirate everything
>so many seething Russians in that thread, calling the dev "race traitor" etc
big kek
Devs advertise themselves as Ukranian, Polish, Cypressian multi-national nowadays.
I mean, it's understandable, but a lot of their previous audience/fanbase (up to 40-50% judging by Steam reviews) was Russian, so they're kind of painting a huge target on their backs.
Certainly brave, but dumb. Should've just said that the Russian loc is coming later.
Sounds like the Nerd Commando drama when he told his Russian audience that he will stop making videos in Russian and switch solely to English.
Atom are good games afaik but I just don't care about Ruskie poverty larp. I'm a Euro so not even being overly Coldwar cucked here.
I hope this will be good.
Doesn't Fallout also have a pretty poverty-stricken
atmosphere? Both game series have a post-apocalyptic setting, after all.
its funny how "slavlife" poverty larp and urban decay seems to be the only thing ruskies
kek poetry
Fallout is nuke stricken

yes
now this sounds like a good game
i will be watching this thread with interest
Sounds like a DnD session, what's wrong with it?
Hy shit, it's ugly.
Using the original font isn't helping.
Poe2 had good sprites, albeit small. That level so hard to reach?
Thanks for telling me about this. I liked Atom and was just about to try out Trudograd on the Switch.
Will there be magic and spell casting in this game? I started up the demo but there were only two background options like thief and knight, no spell casters though. The skills also looked a bit generic and repetitive.
Anybody?
What the frick is going on ITT? I can't tell if the board is infested with actual fricking morons, or if it's just assblasted BRICS-simps seething at the dev and pretending to be moronic.
Regardless, played two hours. It's all right so far, the XP gains need to be doubled though tbh.
>complain about other posts
>make the least informative post possible
holy hell why are eastern europeans/russians all subhumans
>complain about other posts
>make the least informative post possible
Yeah, because the other posts are complete fricking schizobabble, and i haven't played enough of the demo to have an informed opinion you dumb motherfricker. BTW, i'm not a slavshit either, you might've guessed from the fact i was mocking BRICS.
>BRICS
If you are using the term "BRICS" you are definitely a moronic yuropoor
I have now played 15 hours trying out various builds and am ready to render my judgment. T:
As far as i could figure out, spears are considered two-handed weapons and therefore you can't use a shield with them. If true, this is fricking cringe, and needs to be rectified immediately. In general, melee characters should be able to equip their primary weapon + javelins, because as things are now, every enemy encounter is the exact same.
>combat starts
>put your melee characters in the front and skip their turn
>shoot enemies with your ranged characters
>enemy charges at your frontline, wasting all their AP
>attack until they die
Yeah, your melee dudes being able to toss javelins wouldn't break the monotony that much, but at least i'd have a reason to pump points into ranged on melee characters and actually use throwing weapons, instead of immediately unloading that shit on the nearest vendor in exchange for arrows/bolts for the dedicated ranged characters. There are some balancing issues, like mauls giving 5% parry chance but greatswords giving 2% dodge chance (???), while one handed swords have a level 1 skill that gives you fricking 50% parry, while being able to use shields.
Everything else is 5/5 - breddy good as far as i'm concerned. I like the writing, i like the lore, i like the world. Will drop money on the kickstarter, if i have some left over at the end of the month.
does this mean the Atom RPG sequel is on hold?
Tudograd's been out for years anon
>Classless
Weak and unimaginative.
Weird how all of these games seem to copy Pillars' UI, and in some cases even the underlying system (Black Geyser).
>ATOM devs posting ITT
wish you the best lads, we desperately need some proper BG1-2 kino.
ATOM and Trudograd were great, so I have middling hopes for this game. Wonder how they're going to work 10,000 Lovecraft references in a mediaeval setting though.
Yes cumrade, their games are great buy them at full price and support us!
>buying video games
Firstie moment.
I'll play it. But I can't promise I'll like it or buy it.
>devs advertised atom fart Fallout successor
>turns out to be atom cringe dialogs with cartoony bullshit graphics
you lied to me
>iron conspiracy
So it's exactly the story of BG1?
>Black geyser bg
>Ops game copies the story of bg
By cloning the original one they end up with less than mediocre shovelware
>from the makers of atomrpg
no frickin thanks
>mfw i realized i could dump agility and it wouldn't affect my AP, because strength and endurance also gives more AP
Heavy armor chads, we are eating so fricking good.
