Now we all know what backers need to say in the KS comments to get refunds.
Wow, I even got played by his excuses that the wife was
Done. with his BS pipe-dreaming and told him to shit or get off the pot after the better part of two decades of no delivery. Truth is, as usual, stranger than fiction or Occam's Razor. A few quick questions (with some background of why I ask) since the development was a farce of a money pit even without the huge copyright issues he's facing for what little he took from a $40.6k KS for a "full-time job" over a year.
Do you know what kind of YouTube videos Corv was looking at?
He could have been researching how to have AI make his game for him.
The backer portraits were a bit of a sign. The "remixes" of Ultima VI's theme could have been another cranked through AI. Almost nothing was really shown beyond those two items except for the demo and some more landscape screens. If that was what he got in the time from the "Movable Objects Demo" on the
Lycantic.com site to the KS then there's no way there's ever going to be a full game unless he tries to AI all the content.
It definitely explains his nonsense here about all the landscape detailing - he was hoping to have AI put it in the right spots and look right without an extra arm growing out anyone's ass?
And always, always, too soon for screenshots or video outside of a generic background.
Do you know if any of the team are real?
Corv went from "we" to "I" and "me" very fast after the KS. Without any social media, profile, or any other links to their other works on the official site or even mentioned by name when a new "asset" drops, it seems like they're just a sort of Pseudo Fake Shemp from the times when Corv actually had a team (like, 15 years ago on UIX - Redemption putzing with the Morrowind engine). The second Corv stopped everything else about the game stopped, same as Corv is the only Discord admin level on the server. The "artist" only seems to make AI art based on AI aesthetics. Do these team members actually exist?
Do you know how much of the KS was spent on actual game development or if he used it for personal upgrades/expenses?
I.e. his "would also be a great gaming PC of course" development PC being used for playing other games more than making his own.
