Vapourware Corven: Path of Redemption - reboot of cancelled Ultima IX fan game

[Eli_Havelock]

So, judging by the state of the conversation here, the game's basically dead, yes?

• after decade+ of fucking around, three in in Unreal from 2016-2019, dude switched engines again to make a half-assed demo in Unity. Yes, this went Unreal -> Unity
• baited a KS with Lord British (who probably doesn't even remember this)
• spent years on story.txt and AI gen backers portraits
• dipped his balls into the EA shark tank by releasing a remix of Ultima VI as official game media*
• dipped them again when he basically said "Corven = UIX - Redemption" and listed Ultima game areas as places he was working on
• shared illustrious design updates, such as thanks for new gaming computer and European Vacation
• came back from developing BackerPaidVacation.exe
• coincidentally around the same time, divorced the wife in 2 months and left her/no contact for a year
• would forget what year it was and go from a November 2022 update to a June 2022 update
• in that update that forgot time, blamed a pause in all "development" on a messy divorce and having to move, when those issues are long passed
• the usual idiotic hope-and-cope KS circle-jerk who already threw money at this without looking too deeply because muh Ultima and coped about all delays for every other dodgy KS (I.E. Shroud of the Avatar) are clamoring to throw even more money at shitty milestone reporting, because why learn anything any time ever, just consume product and buy Ultima
• 6 months of moving later... is still in middle of moving - probably going to get some of the dumber to keep believing he is still moving and offering support when it's stretched out for a whole year or more
• is now getting remarried
• there is still no game
• it's been almost four years since any news was posted to the lycantic.com website**: Less than 48 hours left on the Corven Kickstarter! by Florian Jul 15, 2020
• there will never be a game

* - This gives later reason when EA would rightfully spank this to go "Sorry about all that, guys! Big Bad EA happened and I just don't have the money to change anything." to glean more money from the useful suckers who ate this shit sandwich and bent over for more on the Discord server. Watching the consumer codependency chain on the Discord was just amazing stuff.
** - RIP website per the absolute state of the official forums becoming a center for ass surgery:

Y’all want to know anything else?

Just more about the history of the game in its various incarnations, I guess. Here's a website dating back to 2004: https://web.archive.org/web/20040812002831/http://ultima.cfkasper.de/

More details here: https://wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/Ultima_IX:_Redemption

Was Corv already doing this when you met him?

 

[Eli_Havelock]

And has Corv made ANY other games? I haven't seen anything taken to completion.

What is it with the Ultima fans thinking they can go from 0 to RPG in just one KS?
The misconception that Teen Richard Garriott effortlessly farted out Ultima/Akalabeth and the RPG genre, so it must be even easier in [current year]?

 

[CorvsEXQueen]

Y’all want to know anything else?

When is the game coming? I have no interest on anything else.

He works for Demiurge in Boston. I was told that they are working it now. ‍

Yes. I am the C in the cfkasper

It’ll probably never see the light of day.

No. He did do a popular mod for Morrowind. Ultimate Ranger Mod. That was before me though. We “met” online February 04.

Wait, Corv was hired by a videogame studio? Lol.

Though Demiurge are owned by Embracer, so he might not have a job for long.

Location corroborated by LinkedIn at Newburyport, MA. He might work there, but I doubt Demiurge would take on that IP liability. They probably have him monkey on the mail server like his last place at Sugar Mountain Resort.

Okay, not as bad as from completely no experience taking a product to market. Mod->RPG kinda reminds me of the After Reset RPG retard Richard Nixon, who thought he could go from a mod to a whole RPG.

She seems really happy about that ring. I wonder how many backers paid for that. Someone should probably let them know what their boy is up to.

Read this first as "pretty gay to propose to a helicopter".

That would be pretty gay too tbqh

Maybe she is a scammer too and will laugh at this thread. True love, match made in heavens.

She could very well be okay with 50 Shades of Gay. The backers can still RSVP, tho.

She works for Rendever. A company that he set his own son up for an internship with. Only to find out he’s pimping him out for the benefit of the finance and the company she’s VP of. Corv swears he’s barely making it but you can of course help with the down payment on a home or fertility treatments for the happy couple per their registry. Mazel Tov! Someone needs an audit. I’m sorry he scammed y’all. Truly. I’m stuck picking up the pieces as well. My apologies.

 

[Infinitron]

I see this thread keeps getting better. So how long did he know this woman?

This woman's like a caricature of an aging girlboss. She couldn't find somebody better than a former ski resort IT guy and failed videogame modder? Maybe it's the Austrian accent.

He went to Austria last Summer with her. We were still married then. He swears he didn’t leave me for her but our divorce wasn’t final until July 31st.
