![]() We are aiming for Queen's Wish to be out May, 2019. We were optimistic about our Kickstarter, but the generosity of our fans has stunned us. We are very surprised, humbled, and grateful. It is well on the way to its stretch goals. Queen's Wish: The Conqueror funded on its very first day. Again, we can only vote with our wallets, and Vogel doesn't deserve money for his minimum-effort efforts. And I keep being puzzled at how lazy he has become: my disappointment is born from seeing a dev that has given us good stuff that keeps throwing out mediocre crap because he's "so old, so tired, so old, so tired". You are of course free to finance a man that does not love his craft and does not love his public, but if you have to waste 20 bucks there are better options. It's beyond belief that people keep buying the RPG equivalent of Steven Seagal movies. + I'd be blunt: every Vogel game after 2008 is a mediocre game not worthy of the money, and there are dozens of less known games, older or newer, far more interesting. Again, he lucked out, going on Steam before the Indie explosion. + His personal blog is an interesting read if you like to see how he was proven wrong several times in a row. Why he's developing games if he's obviously burned out? Becaus he can't do anything else, of course. I know that this is stupid entertainment an' shit, but the utter lack of love for his craft becomes a bit puzzling after a while. As long as it's "good enough to sell" it's good. ![]() Once you could say "it's because budget or lack of art skills or whatever" but it's fairly clear that it's because he does not care. ![]() + Vogel utterly refuses to improve, instead steadily becoming worse and worse in development, writing and design. It has been explained to death why they are good. Geneforges and Nethergate are arguably good games, with some wrinkles. + Vogel has shown that he can develop and write good games. He's throwing out the same stuff for twenty plus years. ![]() He lucked out because he developed games in the Great Drought age and kept throwing out stuff. ![]() Comrade, Vogel is the poor RPG version of CoD. ![]()
