Firmament

I played it a few weeks ago. World Building and Exploration were very good, it was interesting to gradually learn more lore about the world and listen to all the holograms and stuff, the first 5-7 puzzles were self-explanatory, but then it got a bit more abstract with all the teleporting and having to figure out alien numbers and shit. But maybe I'm just a brainlet, cause I never really liked Myst and similar games back in the day. I was more into LucasArts, AdventureSoft and SIERRA games.

You can play it on PC with Mouse&Keyboard or in VR. Afaik they said they're targeting Steam, GOG, Oculus and Viveport as platforms.

last one i played was Uru which was a disaster

oh it says that in the FAQ too, they're just pushing the "built from ground-up for VR" thing really hard

I liked Obduction so maybe I'll back it

WTF is going on in the comments? Is this a game for Geriatrics?

It had its moments, both good and bad. I don't understand the intense hate it got.

>Myst came out 40 years ago

It came out in 1993, that's more like 26 years.

The OG era of visual adventure games ~35 years ago and text adventure stuff was already going hard by the mid 70s. Were you really expecting zoomers to be putting up cash for adventure games?

could have gotten 1 million way earlier if they put sexy girls and porn in it

This, it's just a pretty niche genre. Doesn't mean it doesn't have a very dedicated fanbase even if it doesn't appeal to the masses.

Point and click games are popular outside of your bubble. Like ridiculously popular. They keep making them and people keep buying them. Steam is overrun with these fucking games.

L33t gamerz don't play them, too busy phreaking, stickin it to the establishment and drinking the dew. Fucking hackers

It was just okay. It was like when a band reunites after fifteen years and they put out an album that just sounds like tracks that would have been left in the cutting room floor if they'd been in their prime.

Honestly, it was probably forgotten so quickly because they didn't use any of their money on marketing, which I can respect, but you see the results. A week before it released they sent a message to their backers about how they needed them to get the work out about the game, which was kind of sad

True. They might still end up overtaking them by the end of the campaign, but they still have over a week left.

Myst is the legit boomer-core game. I didn't know any other kid who played them and anytime I bring them up to people who are my age they assume it was some shovelware trash, but everybody knows a parent or uncle who locked themselves away in the computer room for a week playing Myst.

Everyone got a copy of Myst just to test out the new CD-rom drive in the family computer and parents would end up loving the game.

Kickstarter is still a thing? You would think that we would have enough examples of scams and failures that most people would be wary of the platform by now.

There's also plenty of examples of successful projects that pulled through and released (and even became popular). This is even Cyan's third KickStarter after the one for Obduction in 2013 and "Myst 25th Anniversary Collection" a year ago.

You don't hear as much about the successful ones. At least not on Yea Forums.

So is this supposed to be played in VR? What's unique about it?

If a game is successful, then you only find it it
was corwfunded in the end credits.

I literally only backed successful ones, although some turned out disappointing. I suspect a lot of people don't even realize some games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance, FTL, Banner Saga, Shovel Knight, Elite: Dangerous, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Divinity: Original Sin, Superhot, Darkest Dungeon, HuniePop, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, Undertale, A Hat in Time, Pillars of Eternity, War for the Overworld, Project CARS, Expeditions: Conquistador, Grim Dawn, Shadowrun Returns etc. when they buy them.

There's a short Tech Demo they've been sending to YouTubers.

It can be played both in VR (like Obduction, just more intricate this time around, since it's a goal from early on): youtube.com/watch?v=hBei3U5xuSI

Or normally with Mouse & Keyboard: youtube.com/watch?v=YePBBqtrP3s

You seem to have a companion robot thingie called an "Adjunct" that you can abuse to unlock shit like doors or solve puzzles. In the tech demo you can wave at him and he'll come flying to you, grab and stick him in stuff or point towards something and send him there.

I don't think they've talked in-depth about what the world and everything around it will be about, but it seems very Bioshock-y from Early videos and screenshots.

>comes a next-generation narrative adventure

In what way is it next generation?

VR

On a scale of myst to riven to uru, how is obduction

Didn't they already have a kickstarter for another Myst style game a few years ago?

I wish these devs get their heads out of their asses and start putting porn in their games if they're going the pre-funding route anyway.
Yes game is better than no game

Obduction and Myst 25th anniversary collection were kickstarted too.

Isn't that current gen?

That was Obduction, back in 2013 (they made $1,321,306 and it came out in 2016): store.steampowered.com/app/306760/Obduction/

youtube.com/watch?v=SgncwO0aYRU

They also did a "Myst 25th Anniversary Collection" KickStarter that got $2,810,127 for Collector's stuff and to acquire the rights and release all their old games and make the playable in Win7/10: store.steampowered.com/bundle/8699/Myst_25th_Anniversary_Collection/

They're also releasing ZED later in 2019, although they're only publishing and helping out a bit with the development on that one for another dev (Eagre Games): youtube.com/watch?v=6C1gOWtjQTQ

Afaik it's also going to be a PC game and have a VR mode.

I don't really think it would fit in most of their games lol

>the next bioshock
>the next atomic heart

>>the next atomic heart
What's Atomic Heart, user?
