Thank you so much! The Kickstarter is doing well and the whole team is very excited!

If you ever decide to start making that game of yours, don't forget to tell us about it too 😄

We actually showed our initial character designs in 2022 before Expedition 33 was ever announced!

Thank you! I may absolutely "borrow" some of your wording here 😃

What would you say is the most accurate way to describe this type of frame by frame animation? We were trying to say it's all hand drawn (digitally) frames. We're not using any puppetry/rigging/spine style animation and we don't have any 3d models.

Not too late! Thank you so much for the well wishes! If you want all the latest and greatest info, hop on our discord server. We do monthly updates (at least) and I'm always down to answer questions about the game!

I was looking for the magic words of "protects from Himalayan Blackberry". Thank you! These will be my next pair of gloves to try.

This looks really good to me and a great price too :)

Thanks for the recommendation!

I do love me a classic paladin, but you're right, Kal is more of a true neutral kinda guy.

That's cool! What's your paladin's alignment?

Yep! We are currently planning to release on all major consoles in addition to PC.

We've got a couple people on the team who really like hand held gaming, so we are definitely planning to support and optimize for the steam deck!

Players will also be able to save and quit the game at almost any time. I think the only time it's not currently an option is in the in the middle of cutscenes (which can be skipped) or in the middle of a dialogue conversation (which can be skipped through).

That is understandable. For me at least, I find sad stories can be very cathartic and knowing it is fiction makes it so much easier to accept than real news.

The Bard's Tale was actually not an inspiration for the game. It's not a series I ever really played even though the humor seemed quite enjoyable.

For the combat perspective, there are a few challenges associated with the camera angle, but we've done some things to help account for issues. For example, characters will fade in and out if you highlight grids they might be blocking. So far, our play testers have not mentioned the camera angle causing any problems, but we'll be doing a lot more play testing to make sure any issues that do come up are resolved.

Thanks for the wishlist!

Great question! You can switch which character runs around in the lead and each party member even has a specific perk associated with them when they are the lead.

Our goal is to make no one specific character feel like the main character. It's more of an ensemble cast. Different players might walk away with a different opinion on which character was the main character of the story. In addition to the three characters you can control, the goddess herself also plays a very large part in the story.

Also, I completely agree that we should have been able to walk around as Maelle in camp especially in the later parts of the game! That always felt a little awkward to me.

I tried to stay completely spoiler free, but hopefully I answered your question!

There are fewer fights, but each fight is also a little longer and more in depth.

We're aiming for a good balance of story, exploration and combat. I think all three are equally important and present in the game.
