@target said in Will Animation Cancelling become a combat mechanic one day?:
(...)If designed for it, animation canceling can make a game feel smoother by allowing you to fluidly transition between actions(...)
Then again, there are other, better ways to accomplish that, which I'd prefer in such a case.
I'd say let's wait and see how the game plays. A big part of the decision might be how 'easy' things come and go. When there is a general feeling for that,...
Welcome to Fractured!
I hope you're going to enjoy your time here!
@prometheus said in Fractured Content Pills - Week 43, 2018:
(...)innate ability, and night sigh is also a spell (...) one that summons a globe of light(...)
Is the amount of visible light going to have in game effects (e.g. influence aiming with ranged weapons), or is that for 'players convenience'?
Thanks for the update and congratulations on joining the GIP!
One question about Pre-Alpha, when you mention that invites are going to be continuous, does that imply the test server is going to be persistent throughout that time, or is it going to be up and down periodically?
@prometheus said in pre alfa date ?:
(...)Writing the post right now, coming today or tomorrow
Thanks a bunch looking forward to that!
Btw. please don't take my feedback as attack or offensive, I'm trying to encourage Fractured to avoid getting the same stigma as some other games.
Personally, I always enjoy meaningful choice, so I'd love alignment restricted spells. But I doubt that it's going to happen.
@kralith said in Important things in last month?:
(...)I can just speak for myself, but i think they should take the time they need and i will not demand an too early start, just because i am hyped.
I think there is a common misconception there. While a good deal of people is undoubtedly going to ask out of impatience, there is a very valid concern with trying to nail milestone scheduling and not going too far off the trail. In a perfect world, time would be the only requirement, but most unfortunately, it really is money and that is far from unlimited. The very opposite is true, investors are willing to gamble with a high risk, but require a decent interest rate to validate that investment. And we do not have a lot of kickstarter funding to keep that running.

️Fractured mini-game:
(...)We know they have more important game mechanics to work on and we still love to share ideas. Who knows what will come down the line as the game reaches closer to completion.
The reason I mention my concerns is simply that feature creep is a very common and severe threat for games. It is easy for developers to fall prey to this and even more so when there's a vocal group calling for it, but in most every case, it has severely negative consequences in the end.
@specter said in pre alfa date ?:
@logain Prometheus is going to write a newspost, hopefully later this week.
Any update on this? It's a bit... bad to have news that the (pre-alpha) release is going to delay after the actual date (October is coming to an end very soon). People should always be informed way before a date if there is a delay.
I would much rather they focus on the real game instead of spending resources on mini games. That's too close to feature creep in my humble opinion.
I voted that I'm moot. That said, I would hate if it would break the 'general art style' of the game, but as long as it is reasonable, have at it, if there's enough demand.
You can find some of that information (and plenty more) hinted at the news article describing the different sub-races.
In short, yes, different races have different passive and active 'specials'.
@rofus said in Lich Transformation unlocked!:
We need to get more people into the community to reach the rest of the goals(...)
Since that continues through 2018 according to the funding page, there's a good chance that pre-alpha feedback/publicity might lure a few additional backers to pledge their support (maybe so that they can join Alpha 1). The part of it that's not going to be NDA, that is.
@specter said in pre alfa date ?:
The pre-alpha is being postphoned to November.
Could something like that be made official and posted in a news statement, just so people are aware and even better yet, including the reason ; )?
I wholeheartedly agree with @EvolGrinZ and @Mazikar , this is too early in development to worry about balancing.
As nobody has mentioned it, the combat is supposedly more strategical and a little slower in Fractured. At least that was stated as a goal, if they are going to achieve that remains to be seen.
I like the idea of different 'visible look', depending on alignment, but then again, that is something you can change, so you could simply change your look and it would be a bit meaningless?
Welcome to Fractured!
I hope you're going to enjoy yourself and the game!
Congratulations to all winners!
And thanks @Prometheus for your constant efforts!
