It's really what we want out of it the most.<br /><br />Episode 2 is slated for Fall 2016! We're hard at work already on it.Talarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684944568000522986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2814591084344141656.post-91276760757683648662016-06-23T18:34:11.918-07:002016-06-23T18:34:11.918-07:00Love the game.

MORE!!<br /><br />Grabbed the season pass so excited to keep going. Also really excited to see where this game, and the inevitable games like it, take things.<br /><br />I have always loved the local coop experience. Games like Neverwinter Nights have taken whole drunken weekends from my wife and I. This model is just awesome. It's an RPG party game...a game anyone can enjoy being thrown right in.<br /><br />You guys have done great. Regardless where it goes from here, be proud. You have opened an entirely new door in the gaming world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12278575258499108338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2814591084344141656.post-30654232342805650362016-06-16T23:43:47.796-07:002016-06-16T23:43:47.796-07:00Thanks!
As to your question, it depends a little ...Thanks!<br /><br />As to your question, it depends a little on what kind of indie game you want to make. Even a tech stack like RPG Maker can actually let you do some interesting and neat things.<br /><br />Given my experience with Unity, it's an easy recommendation for me. Unreal also has definite pros, but I am unfamiliar with it as far as day to day use is concerned. Both are available free for hobbyists, so cost is no concern there.<br /><br />Unity has an excellent set of tutorials to get you started, and a huge community, so it's easy to get into it. I managed to get a small game running start to finish within a month of on and off playing when I first started, before joining FHG on Eon Altar.<br /><br />I'd hold off on Lumberyard for now; Nobody's been able to articulate what Lumberyard does that Unity/Unreal can't, and Unity/Unreal are way more battle tested. But honestly, for a solo endeavour, unless you're trying to do something cutting edge as far as rendering/physics/whatever techniques are concerned, Unity and/or Unreal are more than sufficient.Talarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684944568000522986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2814591084344141656.post-24319680860276475802016-06-15T16:27:24.719-07:002016-06-15T16:27:24.719-07:00Congrats.

Unrelated ...Congrats. I hope it does well for you.<br /><br />Unrelated question for you. I was thinking about trying to make a solo indie game, just for fun. But I'm at a loss as to where to start. What tech stack would you suggest?Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.com
