Crowfall is incoming MMO (with strong RTS/survival feel), described as "Game of Thrones meets EVE online" - it already has over $7M of budget and 120 000+ registered followers, accumulated since Kickstarter in March 2015. By the way, building one's kingdom is like playing Tetris.

To skip the intro - you can find much more details (and images) in IGN's Crowfall Wiki, or you can check this Kickstarter video:

Besides USA east & west coast, they already have working test servers in EU, Asia , Australia etc. - of course, this matters a lot for PvP (latency). Access to alpha is kinda expensive, but there will be open beta i.e. free tests "this winter", requiring only site registration.

At this stage, it still looks rather like some kind of MOBA (small maps, 80 players max) than large scale game with sieges, alliances, politics and all that stuff. Anyway, here is some player made test footage - starting with siege & voxel destruction:

The most interesting part is - player's identity is tied to the crow-spirit and NOT the body - this should include frequent changes of class, race and sex!? In other words, once you die you'll have to fly and find a new corpse, unless you got alive friends and/or spare one nearby.

This, same as Crowfall's progression system, resembles Eve: spirit/body parallels pilot/ship, and bodies can be crafted (or even stolen/looted in some cases) through necromancy crafting skill - in qualities from white/green to epic or legendary, to use WoW terms. Here's a little story about death:

PS feel free to ask anything, good or bad - I'll be checking this for questions and comments. Also, couple useful(?) links:

- Official site...
- ...and it's FAQ;
- Classes;
- Crowfall reddit;
- MMORPG.com's Crowfall forums (want to read something bad about the game? Just check the titles!);
- Tetris 2, an early demo of world building "live" (just skip that awful acting in the beginning);
- How can you make Crowfall for less than $10m, and where is that money coming from? by it's technical director, Gordon Walton.

No thanks. I already donated to Camelot Unchained years ago and am getting a little worried about its development.

Ya know what game should be crowdfunded ? Total War: WARHAMMER! or just Total War franchise in general. I know it's funded & owned by SEGA but with the constant DLC abusive... it's very disappointment.

You might notice that I didn't give a single link to the site (with it's inevitable "pledge now" and "early access") but preferred Wikis, YouTube and such. Also, out of 100k registered supporters, maybe 25k actually gave money, that's not necessary.

Camelot Unchained is actually No1 on my list, and I'd say it's coming along nicely. But, before Beta 1 and NDA drop with streams and videos coming (sometime Q1 2016), there is not much happening, at least not much that I might show or say without breaking the NDA; I guess people would like to see bit more than concept art and screenshots.

Let's just say that there will be LOTS of visual improvements compared to those (already ancient) videos on the site, you won't reckognise the game once you see it. Meantime, here are newly revealed CU classes (only the Assassins are missing, the reveal stream is tonight) and here is couple images from recent newsletter.

Speaking of Warhammer and greedy companies (my name here belongs to my WAR Goblin Shaman) - in an ideal world, Warhammer Online is not ruined by Electronic Arts and is still running (they shut it down in 2013, after tabletop license expired).

I know everyone considers it a massive failure, still I never had more fun in an MMO...and it lasted for years <3 R.I.P.

Well, yeah. It's been two years. Can we at least see something substantial? I understand NDA and all that, but I actually forgot that I pledged for the game and remembered again several months later. That shouldn't happen.

I agree, in an ideal world we would be able to see lots of videos and streams by now; Unfortunately, I doubt general audience would care much about technical details such as next gen procedural generation/building/destruction or the engine being able to handle 2000 (!) players in a small area and so on, as long as models are low poly/texture on a barren map - and that's exactly what they are adressing for more than half a year already.

Mark is good with hyping stuff, If you remember all the CU "noise" around Kickstarter, just currently they are keeping low profile on purpose untill NDA drops in couple months, and they want to be very well prepared for that.

Crowfall just revealed the Vessel system (after teasing it's poor fans to death for over a month): the only permanent thing are player's souls, a kind of ghost crows able to possess different bodies ("the vessels"). The bodies can be crafted(!), imported/exported in and out of campaigns same as weapons, gear or resources, and even looted in some cases!?

It reminds me a bit of Eve Online's clones; Anyway here is the reveal video:

I love that Crow drawing, I haven't read comics for a long time. The game funding is closer to 7,2 million dollars now btw.
