[PC/XBOX] Ghost of a tale, Avventura INDIE a misura di topo Opzioni

[TheRuler]

ATTENZIONE, GIOCO IN EARLY ACCESS.
http://www.ghostofatale.com/
Una sorta di THIEF in salsa medioevale topesca.
L'autore garantisce si possa terminare il gioco senza mai uccidere alcun animale. Che tema una class-action degli animalisti?

About This Game
Ghost of a Tale is an action-RPG game in which you play as Tilo, a mouse and minstrel caught up in a perilous adventure. The game takes place in a medieval world populated only by animals, and puts an emphasis on immersion and exploration. It features stealth elements, disguises, conversations with allies and enemies, and quests.

You’ll be able to explore the secrets of Dwindling Heights Keep and navigate its dangers. Tilo is not much of a fighter, so stealth and nimbleness are your allies when confronted with enemies twice your size. Talk to the characters you meet and leave no stone unturned in your quest to find Merra, your true love….
About the team:
Ghost of a tale is developed by a very small team. Lionel "Seith" Gallat does 90% of the art, design and coding. Paul Gardner is the game's writer and an experienced game designer. Cyrille Paulhiac does coding and develops tools. Jeremiah Pena is the game's composer, while Nicolas Titeux is responsible for sound design.

Ho preso la versione GOG perché era in saldo, ma d'ora in poi sempre e solo STEAM per i giochi in early access.
La versione GOG è ferma ad agosto 2016 (v1.93) mentre quella steam è costantemente aggiornata (v2.75 rilasciata ieri)
Lo sviluppatore, interrogato sulla stranezza ha così (comprensibilmente) risposto:

Hello Jay,

Thank you for your email. First I want to say that I understand the frustration that might stem from such a situation. The reason for that state of affairs is simple: it takes us roughly 5 to 10mn (at most) to update the game on Steam. It takes us at best a couple of hours to do the same thing on GOG, as I don't have a blazing fast connection. After which GOG has to manually disseminate the new build on their server (webpage + Galaxy), which can takes anywhere from a few more hours to a day (depending on their workload).

As a result we have decided to output hot bug fixes quickly on Steam (sometimes twice a day) to knock down any new bugs we might have introduced with the latest release and when we reach a plateau, then we can invest the time needed to upload the stable build on GOG.

I know this won't necessarily make you feel better about the whole situation but I hope it at least sheds some light on what goes on with pushing a new build online.

As to your comment on the GOG's forums I apologize as it probably fell through the cracks.

We are currently preparing another bug fix release on Steam and as soon as this one gives us satisfaction then we'll upload a new build on GOG. Thank you for your patience!

Cheers,
Seith

Dovrebbe arrivare a breve un corposo update che riguarda sia il gameplay che il motore (FPS raddoppiati a parità di HW utilizzato!).
Ora i vari equipaggiamenti e costumi di Tilo influenzano il rumore prodotto e dunque le modalità di individuazione delle guardie.

[TheRuler]

Rilasciata ORA la versione 2.75 anche su GOG dopo quasi 6 mesi di NULLA.

[Gwenelan]

Aggiornamento rimbalzato sul sito !

Sto guardando un po' questo gioco, di solito quelli con animali protagonisti non mi entusiasmano, ma questo sembra grazioso .

[Festuceto]

Proprio carino, l'ho messo nella wishlist. Comunque ci scommetto che è ispirato alle avventure anali di "Topofurbo" di South Park

[Grifen]

Sto seguendo gli sviluppi su Twitter, dove l'autore butta occasionalmente aggiornamenti.
https://twitter.com/SeithCG

Ho dato una breve occhiata anch'io ai vari video e simili, e lo sto trovando promettente e con una bella atmosfera (oltre al mio genere di roba :p). Parte dello Stealth sembra giocarsi anche sul trovare nascondigli, non solo come accucciarsi nell'ombra come funzionava per Thief e derivati vari dove consisteva molto "riparati dietro l'angolo"/"evita la luce". Chi ha provato l'early access cosa ne pensa in generale?

[TheRuler]

Che sembra un Grimrock non a mattonelle. Scherzi a parte, è molto valido. Sono più di 3 anni che è in sviluppo (dalla campagna indiegogo) e di passi giganti ne ha fatti. Non so e non vglio sapere se è terminabile, diciamo che sto rigiocando sempre i primi 2 livelli per non spoilerarmi troppo, non voglio finirlo in early access. Proprio questo re-play però mi sta facendo apprezzare le differenze di versione gog (1.93 --> 2.75, una enormità)

[Gwenelan]

Ma a parte nascondersi, ci sono anche piccoli puzzle o simili? O altre cose? Volendo puoi metterti a fare Rambo o è un "nono" come in Thief?

EDIT: Ruler faccio un bell'articolo che fai prima XD.

Al momento io sono riuscito solo a stordire le guardie. Più avanti si acquisiscono vere armi che forse potrebbero uccidere.
Più che puzzle (per lo più ambientali) ci sono elementi di ruolo (missioncine).

Ho trovato su Steam la lista delle quest attualmente disponibili (26).

[Micartu]

Praticamente un altro gioco!

Esiste una data definitiva per la 1.0?

[TheRuler]

Nessuno si è ancora sbilanciato purtroppo. L'unica notizia ufficiale (e succosa) circa il prodotto finito è questa:

Our best estimate for the length of the full release is that the E.A. part is roughly 25-30% of the final game. This would mean the final game will be roughly 15 to 30 hours long, depending on how much of an explorer/completionist you are.

se in 3 anni hanno fatto il 30%... ahahaha ;-) speriamo di no!

[TheRuler]

The early access version is english only, but the final version will provide many languages, including Italian.
...
The list is not official, but we are quite sure the game will be translated into (no order):
english, spanish, french, italian, german, russian, japanese, chinese

parrebbe proprio una produzione grossa.

[Micartu]

Beh il gioco è carino e tradurlo only subs non costerà di sicuro molto. Magari trovano anche un publisher oppure si appoggiano a qualche anima pia che glielo traduce gratis come succede sempre più spesso.

[TheRuler]

L'ultimo update (2.81 già di qualche settimana fa) è dedicato al nuovo comportamento della vegetazione. Decisamente realistica.

[Micartu]

non so che dire, sono immagini da acquolina in bocca ma la mia preoccupazione è che il progetto possa avere la meglio sull'essere umano. sviluppare un gioco del genere da soli è da pazzi, l'autore è senza dubbio un genio ma i tempi di realizzazione stanno diventando sovrumani. e se poi il gioco non viene un capolavoro che fa? si appende a un lampadario?
roba che quando arrivi in fondo hai creato un gioco con lo sforzo che un team impiega per farne 3 o 4 XD

Nuove indiscrezioni. Il gioco avrà 60 quest, costerà 25 dolla, ci vorranno dalle 15 alle 20 ore per terminarlo ed uscirà a Marzo 2018.


nuovo effetto luce (UAO):

[Micartu]

Sì e sto leggendo uscirà in italiano, ma specificano che non sarà una traduzione fatta con google translate (parole esatte) ma una traduzione curata con pieno supporto e materiale per far capire il senso e il contesto di ogni frase ai traduttori, insomma ci tengono.
E l'effetto di luce è fighissimo, praticamente prima se la fonte di luce era occlusa la luce non filtrava, ora la lcue filtra a prescindere.

Spesso con questi giochi un po' particolari, prendo il gioco e poi demando la partita di molto, in questo caso penso che appena uscito mi barricherò a giocarci.
