Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy is a go!

Oh yeah, baby! I’m a bit late to the party, but it seems the AtomTeam made it. Swordhaven is fully financed through Kickstarter with about 67 hours to go from the posting of this article. I noticed that they already managed to hit one stretch goal – a player base. Not sure how excited I am about that particular addition since most RPGs that have some kind of home usually feel a bit undercooked. However, I’m glad to see they are making a few more bucks on top of what they wanted. Now to see if they can reach the next stretch goal – Cursed City. Which I have to admit sounds much more enticing, maybe because I live in one in real life. Who knows? Anyway, I’m happy to see they made it. Now the eternal wait begins.

Star Trek: Infinite is dead

In the final dev log for Star Trek: Infinite it is unfortunately explained that the game has now been officially abandoned and left for dead. In my review, I talked about how much I liked its approach to the Stellaris style of gameplay – how it was way more focused on a specific timeline and with a smaller scale. Not something the Star Trek mods do. Sadly, that dream of a stand-alone Star Trek 4X game is now dead, as I was hoping for a couple of healthy expansions. Even if I liked the game as it is, a couple of DLCs would not have hurt to expand on the gameplay (unless it’s the greedy bad kind, of course).

The Swordhaven Kickstarter has launched!

The Kickstarter for the upcoming low-key Baldur’s Gate I-inspired RPG Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy has launched. I backed it for 15 euros, which grants me a digital key for the game when it comes out, but not much else. The Kickstarter is at this moment around 19% complete. To me it looks like they will make it, however, I’m not a Kickstarter expert. I sure as hell hope they do make it because I tested the demo that you can find on their Steam page, and it’s good. It’s very charming and plays superbly into the low-level adventure feel.

Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy – New upcoming RPG!

Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy is a new upcoming RPG that takes heavy inspiration from the first (and best) Baldur’s Gate. It’s made by the developers AtomTeam, which in the past has created such titles as ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game and ATOM RPG: Trudograd. So, it’s not some random dudes trying to break in with the fancy idea of RPG throwback – it’s a genuine thing that gives me confidence that it will be a fine product. They recently released a gameplay trailer that you can watch below.

The Sweet Baby Inc controversy

Now, this is a doozy. I don’t like to talk about this kind of stuff too much, but I find this thing too big to ignore since it directly influences my fun in the form of video games. Anyway. It seems the normie, the mainstream gamer has finally awoken to see what the gaming industry has become – a cesspool of SJWs, nepotism, and a hatred for white men. I’m not even hyperbolic, as this is what consulting writing gaming company Sweet Baby Inc. stands for, which you can see in for example conference talks they do. They are not exactly hiding it, and most of this has been documented, even if they now try to scorch the earth and remove all evidence. But the internet never forgets.
