Following the earlier unsuccessful attempt to crowdfund their post-apocalyptic old school RPG After Reset, Black Cloud Studios is back with a rebooted Kickstarer campaign that is seeking a much more reasonable $35,000 to see it through to the end. Here is how team lead Richard Nixon invites us back:
Hey, guys! I bet many of you already know me. My name is Richard, and I'm the creator and game director of After Reset RPG.
Here I'd like to tell you a little about our game, which we have been working on for more than a year.
You know, we were all really upset by the cancellation of Fallout: Van Buren, the cancellation of Knights of the Old Republic III, cancellation of Neverwinter Nights III - while instead the video game industry has just - flooded us with "fast-food" MMOs, - trying to fake us, mere gamers, with their brands. So, being similar minded RPG players like you, we were tired of being disappointed, tired of waiting for miracles - so we decided to fill in the gap ourselves. We wanted to relive the emotions and epic stories from old school RPG's and decided to make our own miracle. And I'm sure that together we CAN build that theme park! With blackjack, caravans, and hookers, of course! :)
With these things in mind, After Reset is based on three pillars of design from the good old days. You can expect:
'¢ A POST-APOCALYPTIC ATMOSPHERE, developed with a focus on sci-fi realism and more locations to explore than Fallout 1 and 2 combined (for more info, check out our concept arts and screenshots, and watch for updates here on KickStarter).
'¢ A NONLINEAR STORY, with the freedom to choose between a ton of branches and endings which influence the whole setting - even beyond the game you play.
'¢ HARDCORE MECHANICS in the best traditions of D&D and SPECIAL, we have created our own system called SACPIC (for more info, check that section of the forum and coming updates), where you will be able to customize every aspect of your character. Of course, you'll also be able to choose from a list of pre-made ones if you just want to jump in and play!
