I've played for about 30 minutes and I'm hooked! It really does introduce new things at a relaxing pace and I feel quite smart when I figure things out right before it is introduced xD

This looks heavly inspired by the classic board game Carcassonne.

Fantastic news! It's great to see a loot based ARPG with such good potential, and with an early Linux build, getting funded. This is what I've been craving to have on Linux =)

Quoting: Joeyboots80Downloading the demo now. Gonna check it out tonight when I get off work. Will definitely give feedback. Thanks Michelle!

Good luck with the demo! If you're on mesa and have issues with some ground effects, that might affect your performance alot. I found that setting disable_blend_func_extended = true helps alot, although it makes the ground black.

I've been waiting for this since I first saw it on ZiggyDs live stream last year. It looks awesome and addictive, my weekend is saved! =D

Quoting: herc

Quoting: GuestAre they selling this game for money or are they giving this game away for free? Because if it's the former, why do they have microtransactions? I don't care if it's cosmetic only. If they're selling the game there is no excuse for this.

From what I understand they plan to sell the game for $15 and also have cosmetic only microtransactions. I believe the microtransactions will be there to fund continued development of new content for the game after it's been released.

Are you saying that if they charge $15 for the game there is no excuse to have cosmetic items?

Yes. If they need more money, they should sell it for more money.

Are you saying they should charge a one time payment for all future development of content?

Quoting: m0nt3It seems broken on Mesa, I get less than 20 fps (avg maybe 14) and have artifacting on the ground and water. Might be shader related.

Yeah, it runs abit slow for me too on Mesa and I also have the artifacting on the ground.

I found a stone stair right before the waypoint in The Cliffs, where my fps increased alot and I had no artifacting on the stair. So it seems like the performance issue has something to do with that ground effect.

I've been hanging out in their Discord asking for a Linux demo all weekend and today I got a test build to try out.

They utilize a unity launcher where you can select resolution, checkbox for windowed mode, monitor selector etc.

I've only had time to play it for about 10 minutes, but so far everything seems to work fine except a small graphical glitch on the ground. Performance is not that great when there are multiple enemies on screen at the same time, dipped down to about 15 fps at some point. But in town I got around 40-50 fps, with a quick dip down to 36 at one point.

I'm on a i5 3570k, 16gb ram and a RX 480. Developers say the demo is quite gpu intensive and I can confirm mine was at 100% basicly all the time.

For a pre-alpha I'm pretty impressed they managed to get a Linux build up and running and performing decent.

Looks like I'll be backing this on Kickstarter!
