- Thread starter Corto
- Start date
I don't think they have an ETA for the next Chapters yet. I would think that that will depend also on the success of this release? More sales, more money coming in, more resources available for the next chapters?
yeah I want subtitles

Have way too many games I'm trying to play through right now, but this sure is tempting for 20 bucks. Looking forward to hearing some impressions in this thread

Ah cool, didn't realize this was out. All these kickstarter projects just seem to pop up out of nowhere when you didn't actually back them, I guess

This shows $18.74 for me after I apply the coupon, did I miss it?

Hm, man, I really like these.
I'm expecting much from the soundtrack. Wintory does good work.
Yeah, his artwork takes me to a different place. It makes me wonder how he sees the world.
It seems as if the price updated when it was officially released (just like it did on Steam). That is still the cheapest you're going to be able to get it now though
Just came in here to post this. Was looking for a place to enable subtitles as I always prefer having subtitles enabled in case I miss anything. Doesn't seem like there is an option for it though. >.<

So many beards. In such amazing art.
I would've loved subtitles too. But damn this game plays great. Also I'm liking the turn-based combat system so far.

I paid 20$ for an episode?...wish I read the steam page better dangit.
Also no subtitles? Wtf is this secretly an early access game?

This is an episode as much as a Star Wars Episode I is. aka the first part in a planned trilogy.
As to the game, just got the soundtrack and preloaded the title yesterday. I might not start playing it just yet, but maybe later once I beat Knack on my ps4.
Each game/episode/chapter is self contained and with heaps of content. Think of this as a Saga similar to Wagner's Ring Cycle. Each game is its own thing but as a whole make for an Epic Tale.
It's a standalone game that is planned to be part of a trilogy - it's an episode in the same sense ME1 was.

Drowning in the beautiful art. It's fine, I don't want to live on a planet that doesn't look like this game anyway.
Just stumbled onto this thread. Thanks so much for posting the links to the soundtrack that really means a lot to me.
And thanks to you all for the nice words; I hope for those who haven't played it you check it out! I'm so stoked to have been a part of this thing. Stoic are fantastic game designers. I think it's a beautifully challenging game. According to Steam I've played about 220 hours between Chapter 1 and Factions ... so despite my bias as a member of the team, I gotta say I dig it as a gamer

Thank YOU Austin, the soundtrack is playing since 1PM in my house and damn it is good!
Already one of my guard died, damn it!
But, how do we save XD ?
No manual saves? That is bullshit and my enthusiasm jest went down the drain. Seriously, there is no excuse for lack of manual saving in a PC game.
In this case it may be an effective way to keep players from save-scumming on important story decisions. The Eurogamer review notes as much:

Austin, you are amazing and incredibly talented. Thank you so much for some great music!
I pretty much agree with this. I'm not huge on save scumming in a game where your decisions are supposed to matter. Dark Souls is a huge success because if you screw up, there's a long road ahead and it will be harder (or easier) because of something you did.
Also this. Thanks Austin!

I backed this but had to close my KS account due to strange activity so I guess I won't be getting my key. Glad to see the singleplayer campaign is out. Will repurchase when it goes on a bigger sale.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Wow, Austin himself. Great job on the work here and everything else you've done, basically.
Haha you're too kind. "Everything I've done" is too broad ... I promise there is plenty of terrible music lying around

Just downloaded the soundtrack from your site. I just want to say that the sole reason I went up in my Kickstarter pledge was when I heard you were doing the OS. Journey's OS is one of my favs.
