I've been playing an MMO called Dual Universe. It's really amazing given that you can build so many things with voxels. But it has a team with 40 people and has struggled to deliver on much of what was promised during it's kickstart.
There is no way this game will deliver on a lot of this stuff. I can tell you too, in my most recent Dual Universe experience, all those kickstarters who spend 40 bucks one time backing you five years ago will be your worst complainers and will try and sink your ship when you don't deliver.
Why would YC fund this unless they think some of the technology will be salvageable and sold a few years from now without the MMO attached anymore.
God's sorry to side track but I have been looking for someone who has tried this game.
It looked so good I was going to pledge today but my PC died last night.
Do you think they will actually get there? I loved the idea and what I had seen.
I was an early backer and played since the first playable teasers. For background, I played EVE Online for 10+ years, and have played almost every single space-based open-world game other than Star Citizen.
Unlike the game talked about here, it's actually a technically impressive game with some properly unique ideas and some really fun aspects. It's also a total buggy mess and half the time I can't even get through a half hour session without it either hard crashing, or coming across game breaking bugs. Plenty of people seem to be having a fine time, building huge bases and impressive ships and running some pretty decently sized operations, but that's not me. Whether it's my hardware combo or just bad luck, I've struggled to ever get a solid session in at all. I still don't give up on it though, and check back every few months, as I think they ARE building something awesome, it just needs a lot more work.
Ah Eve Online, if I was 19 again with a lax schedule, I'd go back to it in a heartbeat.
This was so addictive. The perfect MMO.
Thanks! Old school wvw player here too. I'm so damn tempted. It looks so good, but it seems as if I'm rolling the dice as if it will work for me haha.
I think though it seems as if throwing a new account their way would help. The more money the more Dev time and all that.
Cheers
