Sad and brutal.

Some videos about development of the game:

I bought the game + OST on GOG for $60, it's kind of pricey for a game but developers deserve it. Not only it's a good RPG with beautiful art and interesting story with tons of writing, it's also a crowdfunded project. And the game was released DRM-free with Linux version on day one. I don't mind paying that much since it has a lot of value. In other cases I might consider it too high and wait for later sales (like Divinity: Original Sin which still didn't release the Linux version until now).

Sounds cool. I might get back into PS if you move to Unreal engine

I'd want to see more of the development side of this game's prototype before backing it. The hype for RPG potential and nostalgia might be enough for some people, but I don't think it would be for most.

They are too early in the prototyping yet to make any judgement about stuff like graphics and so on. I won't expect anything of that sort to be relevant at this stage. They even said that even engine choice is not set in stone at this point (though they so far announced Unity as their initial plan). It's basically the question of whether you want such hypothetical project come to fruition or not. I surely want, especially since they promised DRM-free Linux release.

So I'd recommend you to back it, especially if you want it to reach some of the stretch goals. But base goal is enough for me personally to support them. They are new to crowdfunding, so I know it's more risky than let's say inXile who have more experience at that with Wasteland 2 and upcoming Tides of Numenera or Larian with Divinity: Original Sin, but I'm ready to support them, just to show demand.

In general it's really nice to see the rise of successful major crowdfunded RPG titles (Pillars of Eternity is another one coming soon) which rival most of the mass market junk out there.

If Shindrok is alive, that means there must be some very explicit loophole that allows one to combine multiple ways (or access the 7th way) for his body not to be space dust. Without spoiling much, does his existence mean that players have some exciting new powers to look forward to in the future?

See "Shindrok's Fate"

If anyone wants a free code for Witcher 2 on GOG, please comment (first-come, first-served). I have the game already so I don't need the code, but some fans of RPGs here can find it useful.

Haha. Didn't expect any media to pay attention to PS.
