Some thoughts on 'The Dwarves', the new action RPG from KING Art, a bit unpolished

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTWell, I'd really like to play the game! Therfore I did buy it yesterday. But the game won't load for me.... I opened a bug report:
Where do you file bug reports? They don't have a forum, only this form: https://kingartgames.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new [External Link]

And there is no way to see reported bugs (or at least I didn't figure out how, I didn't register there yet).

I'm enjoying the game so far. The dialogs are very funny at times. :) I should read the book really as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dwarves_(novel) [External Link]

The soundtrack is quite pleasant. I like the song which plays during traveling.

Quoting: archmage24601For any who have played Dragon Age: Origins, how similair is it? I've been looking for a good RPG like that for a while.
I just started playing it. From the looks of it, mechanics are nowhere as complex as in Dragon Age: Origins or even more hardcore RPGs like Baldur's Gate. Things are pretty streamlined so far. I didn't even see any stats or anything of the sort. Still, the game is very enjoyable.

Unlike RPGs with character creation, this follows an existing story and defined characters, so it's more similar to The Witcher in this aspect (not in the gameplay though). It's also based on the book. I call such games adventure-RPGs, since adventure games usually have a predefined character to play as.

During traveling, story selection reminds me of story screens in Pillars of Eternity.

The game is using Unity 5.3.4f1, so I'd say it should work with Mesa as well as Unity in general does.

You can also try contacting developers. May be they tested it on Mesa and can confirm. They also have Kickstarter contact [External Link].

I just sent them a message about it.

Quoting: liamdaweI can confirm it installs and works, performance seems reasonable but not amazing. Bigger article on it likely up tomorrow as it's late now and I need to rest at some-point.
You didn't it test it on Mesa though?

I discovered one composition from Nightfall in Middle Earth recently, which wasn't originally included. It came out later:

It's about Túrin Turambar.
