Quote:
KnightMayor is pleased to announce our premier title: Mooncrest. A character driven fantasy RPG, Mooncrest is inspired by such classic games as Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights, and Jade Empire while incorporating modern combat design philosophies of titles such as Dark Souls.

Over the next few weeks, we will be pulling the curtain back and revealing more information about Mooncrest. Join us as we follow our pair of heroines on their journey through the enigmatic world of Nocturne.


There is a Q&A with some devs and some info:

For our two main characters, Sera and Pirotase, this was no different. Initially, Sera was male, but the direction in which the story progressed made far more sense for the main character to be female.

Bioware?


Never again. That studio died with DA2 and ME3.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

They are made up of ex-Bioware employees, but they are all faceless peons that nobody has ever heard of. They are just trying to milk (what's left of) Bioware's reputation.

I take it that Obsidian has all the positions filled, as they used to offer "asylum" to the ex-Bioware/Lucas employees Mr. Green

I'm not sure Obsidian is in a great position to be hiring much these days, balancing on the edge of bankruptcy as they so often are.

It is "former Bioware" devs, that did you expect. They will get every possible feminist and SJW approval, certificate and diploma before release.

Maybe they "borrowed" a bit from the design of Castlevania. Very Happy

No actual ingame screenshots/videos available yet, and using some hot girls in the promotion video as bait

Errr... how about no?

But maybe if they use a few SJW buzzwords they'll be able to capture some of that biowere audience.

Promo video about girl "hardcore" gamers with unrealistic dialogue, mentioning badass strong women as protagonists, stereotypical nerds, ZERO actual content shown.

Let's see the support of the SJW crowd and the hardcore female RPG players, I will fucking pin this in a tab to keep an eye on it Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

I suspect the only backing they're gonna get is through tweets and retweets. Laughing Laughing Laughing

That was by far the single worst pitch video I've ever seen. Revolting pandering SJW propaganda trash. I'm looking forward to not even pirating this crap Facepalm

Did they work on Dragon Age 2? If so, I wanna punch their smug faces in.

Unless they were just the coffee boys or something. I doubt this KS will even reach the end of the month, they will pull it early with some corporate SJW post trying to save face. Let's see.

The video definitely gave my good vibes for the achievement of this:

If they manage to pull this off I'll dye my hair purple, make a tumblr account for the occasion and join the feminist armpit hair movement.

What was up with that video?
    We wanted to do something different from the standard documentary style video and not rehash our campaign. Our intention was to poke fun at ourselves and we thought a different style of video would set us apart from other Kickstarters. Well, it certainly set us apart, but not in the way we intended. We understand that if this is the only thing that people see it’s not setting a good first impression. Because of this, we have decided to remove it. And just for the record we are not a bunch of creepers!

What didn’t you show in-game footage?
    This was a tough call. We’re already developing Mooncrest on a razor thin budget and we didn’t want to absorb development costs on assets that would most likely just get tossed. Plus, we didn’t want to set expectations for final aesthetics of the game when we would still have many polish phases to go through.

    Additionally, Mooncrest was technically already created as Twilight–a mod for Neverwinter Nights by our founder Rick Burton. Not only is Twilight fully playable, it landed Rick a full time job at BioWare, received a lot of critical acclaim, spawned a popular sequel in Midnight, and is still beloved by fans. That’s the blueprint we are working from. A lot of the shortcomings in Twilight will be addressed in Mooncrest since we have over 10 years of feedback available to us and of course we’ll be adding our own flourishes here and there to make a better experience.

    If you have a copy of Neverwinter Nights and you want to try Twilight, you can download it for free from The Neverwinter Vault.

This sounds familiar. Is this based on an old Neverwinter Nights mod?
    Yes! The story and characters from Mooncest had their genesis in Twilight and Midnight which was created by our lead developer, Rick Burton, over 10 years ago. The third mod in the series, Dawn, was never released.

Did I need to play the original modules or Neverwinter Nights to enjoy Mooncrest?
    Not at all. As much as we hate the term, Mooncrest is a “reboot” of the original story set in an original world.

What was up with that video?
    Ugh. We know we know. We’re working on creating a new one which is causing delays in updates. We apologize and thank you for your patience. Rest assured, the video has been cast into the fire along with the One Ring.
