They released a new update video: www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUIqUdfkbYmCGM-YRmk28zCg&v=AS1rGKSoQIcThere will be a tech alpha available to some kickstarter supporters at the end of September or early October. Also, they increased the size of the map by 30% or so, and there will be 150 locations on it. Sounds awesome. The alchemy minigame looks great, but I can't tell if it will be fun to play.

In between falling asleep when that guy was talking and he said the map size was increased I did perk up a bit. I wish they had some more gameplay footage, like even if it is just a day in the life of this tavern keeper kind of thing.

Haha, Pete. I kinda get why people get a little bored when he is talking, but personally, I like the way he talks about the game. It's basically like one of us would talk about a game instead of the typical PR bullshit companies put out. He mentions both the good and the bad, all the problems they are having, etc, and I find the honesty refreshing. Once the tech alpha is out, people will put up youtube videos of the gameplay.

Yeah, the trailer looks pretty sweet at the end. Love the low-key everyday medieval atmosphere. No monsters, no epic stuff. Makes me want to herd some sheep, hunt some deer, and drink some booze at the pub.
The combat part was hilarious, when the AI killed the designer like 20 times. Guess they gotta fine-tune that. Animations also don't look very smooth yet, but he did say they will be replaced soon.
Tech Alpha sounds like it will be pretty limited, with no combat or horse riding, and just some mini quests.

Yeah they keep saying all we'll get to do is basically wander around and explore... and I'm fine with that.

Nice! Well, you've been in a lot of alphas so you already know this, probably a good idea to temper your expectations. Bugs, small area, most mechanics and gameplay elements still missing... I just hope it looks good in general, like it has potential, once all that other stuff is in.

Oh I'm expecting it to be a mess. Alpha is about helping the developers, not enjoy the game early.

You're a noble hero, Tig. I hope that the developers appreciate your dedication to the cause. I really liked that low-key video too.

Gameplay footage from the alpha tech demo:
Well, not that much to do so far, but every other sentence was how beautiful everything is, so that's a good start I guess. I love how realistic all the buildings and the general layout were. Really looks like a real-life village and not a video game one.
P.S. Found another video of the alpha and it's even better:
The second part of it just killed me, between the bugs and the guy narrating it, I almost passed out from laughing.

Yeah that was funny. I think the one that got me even more was when he stepped outside after that, and the woman was moving through the ground up to her waste, and it kinda looked like a midget flying around on a broomstick. He called her a witch, and I almost choked. I've seen some other screenshots too of women flying through the air and other whacky stuff. Ah, alphas...
