Yay for lava caves (see also my previous post: http://www.ghostofatale.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=182#p228)! In my function as chief master geologist of the Royal GoaT Science Assosiation it is my duty to inform you that Fingal's Cave is not a lava cave sensu stricto, but a sea cave eroded b...

I really dig the whole cave thing with tidal flooding! It sounds like a lot of work, but it suits the game really well imo (a mouse-game has got to have an underground section anyway :) ). As a contrast I would love to see an area with alpine meadows and some dwarf shrubs. I feel like the game would...

Nice idea for a thread! There certainly needs to be a reference to the mouse shadow in the second moon (Dune)! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_1W93cjUFuA/ULdxhYhOU5I/AAAAAAAALyA/a9qnmaRVrLU/s400/2nd%2Bmoon%2Barakis.png Or the Muad'Dib (desert mouse and one of my many nicknames, for I am the Kwisatz Hader...

Holy smoke! that is a huge amount of users! I love to see GoaT getting the attention it deserves, I'm still in awe looking at the work Seith has pulled together so far. Concerning the game interface and story progression I'm with david. I adore games that can create environments intuitive enough to ...

Tilo is an excellent choice for a mouse name. Very mousy indeed and very unique. Once the franchise is owned by Disney they will be very grateful for such a high value of brand recognition :D Loving the details of the lore. What I especially like is that the hero's heritage is burdened with betrayal...

KwisatzHaderach

Wow, even though I'm not 100% sure (meaning I'm about 7% sure) what this means, it sounds like good news. Newer is always better, right? No, seriously, the news of Unity 5 being released this summer made me think: maybe GoaT won't get the full support as a top-notch Unity showcase game after all bei...

But you'll be happy to hear that Fluffy is back to his demonic roost on my roof, next to the chimney. It's nice to hear our neighbors screaming again, especially when Fluffy sticks his horrible giant head through their wall, as a joke, while they watch TV :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: Looking forwa...

And what about EMOTIONS? Who thinks about EMOTIONS?! A game needs EMOTIONS!

KwisatzHaderach

I must say, I, as an original backer, am very disappointed in the direction this game has taken. Seith says big explosions and big guns will now be a crucial part of gameplay!? Seriously!? I mean, Seith must have completely lost his touch!!! He says he now just wants to do what the marked wants. Gun...

EDICT: Forum members who mention ANY doubts of Seith's genius and the awesomeness of GOAT, will be 'visited' by ... THE PAIN [author's note]... He is talking to you Mr. Evilkinggumby! For shame. For shame! I would have never even thought such a thing much less wrote it down within these hallowed fo...

KwisatzHaderach

I can't tell if progress on the game is flying by or if things hit a standstill cause David found a big ol problem in the code... Praise the GoaT and the infinite creativity and resourcefulness of the Seith! And praise their herald and peacekeeper david! For their vision is all-embracing and their ...

KwisatzHaderach

It would be kool to see GoaT have an area of the map explorable that was the result of a severe ice storm. It would be interesting to navigate such slippery conditions, but also seeing everything encased in semi-transparent ice would be fascinating. And you could have some broken ice/falling ice as...

KwisatzHaderach

Sorry I missed your latest posts. Even more sorry to hear of the trouble your friend ran into! I hope he finds a way to have it work out via adapters. The design of these monitors isn't really their strong suit and the brightness seems to be a little too much on the photo, but I'm glad he is enjoyin...

KwisatzHaderach

Quite as a mouse you could say

I still follow every thread, but I have severe time constraints atm. I like the idea very much, I love discovering secrets like that, a little reward for the extra-curious. Don't be discouraged evilkinggumby, keep your great ideas coming!

KwisatzHaderach

At least you're wearing sunglasses. That makes it much harder to track you down. Still, these unrabbity small ears should give you away!

http://cdn.thegloss.com/files/2012/02/I_hate_you_THIS_much-640x503.jpg I hate you too, david! Wow, stunning news! Exciting to hear that the game is taking shape! I like to hear that movement feels spot on, it is such an important part of any 3D game and if you don't get it right, it can ruin an oth...

KwisatzHaderach

You both make very good points and there is not much that I can add except maybe the notion that imo world size is ultimately linked to freedom of movement. Let me explain this with a few examples: The Mass Effect as well as The Witcher series both have stunning vistas and very big open spaces. Yet,...

Alright, I may have lost this battle, but PLS monitors will be back one day and you know it... AND YOU KNOW IT!!! I resign and leave the field to evil kinggumby (on a totally unrelated note: think about that name!) as I don't have a clue about projectors. You made up your mind and I respect that. Go...

KwisatzHaderach

I'm flattered :oops:, a post just for my response. Just one thing I have to get straight: while I do like tinkering with my hardware and have build a few rigs for friends, I am NOT earning a living in the hardware business. It is just a hobby that turns into an obsession every year or so until I hav...

Not currently, but a few nights ago, I ate and drank my brother's Christmas present: http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y517/whitenorthstar/CYJ6NkR_zpsa23d1955.jpg Delicious Sushi and some great Japanese Whiskys to go along! I also learned that the French, in fact, drink more Whisk(e)y than US Amer...

KwisatzHaderach

Before anyone here considers buying a projector: have you ever thought about getting one kf these super cheap korean 2560x1440 PLS monitors? Because I did. They are AMAZING!!! The colours, the space, even the response times are really good for a non-TN panel. They use the same Samsung panels that Ap...

KwisatzHaderach

Lol, I hope that is an Ultra HD screen there. The only way to play GOAT in its full glory.

The whole point is: you don't port to SteamBox. You port to SteamOS. But you can install SteamOS on any system. That's how I understand it and that is the huge difference between the SteamBox and consoles.

KwisatzHaderach

@Evilkinggumby Translating the game to steambox would mean porting it for linux wouldn't it? As far as I know, SteamOS is linux-based. I'd be delighted to see GOAT making it onto linux. However, if there is something I don't begin to understand, it is the SteamBox. Valve said they want to satisfy th...

Seith is a wise captain, steering this ship safely through untested waters. I'm sure he is doing the right thing although his motivs are hidden from me. I'm having difficulties wrapping my head around the dependency of the game's developement status and the opening of that shop. No mutiny intended b...

KwisatzHaderach

Yea, I feel the same actually. I was just joking around. I really think you are on to something!

KwisatzHaderach

That is a great idea, evilkinggumby! I'd actually be happy to throw some more money at Seith and his gang atm. I want to see what kind of yacht they'd go for

KwisatzHaderach

Sorry, I was thinking of this description underneath the video on the first page of the site, the blog page. "Ghost of a Tale is the adventure of a minstrel mouse exploring the mysterious and dangerous island of Periclave." Were you folks thinking of something else? :oops: . Yes, I (and e...

KwisatzHaderach

Everyone and their mother wants this game. :) And their grandmother! Nice to see the game is so anticipated! It is in good company too, as far as I can say; pretty swell list. I'm unsure of the game description, if it really captures what the game will be about in the end. It feels a bit off to me,...

KwisatzHaderach

I am glad you are so determined and in love with this work. We're all eager to see the game, but I am betting everyone is more than willing to wait and see it done right and complete, then done fast and sloppy. :) Just try to get it out there before I turn 80 and develop alzheimers hehehe... (that ...

Thanks for your hard work, david!

Did you know this is where the word "spam" derived from:

No joke

KwisatzHaderach

Wouldn't it be great to have a game that doesn't only offer different climate zones, but actual seasons? It might have been done before, but I know of no game (an RPG preferably) that has achieved this. Imagine how awesome it would be to experience a game world where spring with melting ice and mass...

KwisatzHaderach

That's a great idea evilkinggumby! I thought about posting about this myself, the comments seem to be broken for that blog post. I was just picturing poor Seith hitting the refresh button on the blog post again and again and noone commenting on his awesome post :cry: Concerning the little screenie: ...

KwisatzHaderach

Alright, you asked for it :) I love the play with scale. I loved it in Psychonauts, when you were Goggalor in Lungfishopolis, I loved driving my match box cars through sand castles and toasters in Micro Machines and I loved the level in Serious Sam 2 where you shoot your way through a backyard with ...

KwisatzHaderach

You know how david mentioned that “Music is somehow at the core of the game”? I think so too. And you know how david recently asked “[What is] the greatest game of all time”? It made me think. What exactly was so compelling about the games I’d pick, why do I still remember them 10 years on? Looking ...

KwisatzHaderach

Yoshi's Island and Goldeneye sure were great games! The greatest game of all time...? Would have to pick Little Big Adventure 2, because I'm one sentimental bastard! Made by Frenchmen too btw!

A little late to the party... Anyway... From the second I saw the feature on RPS about GoaT, I was hooked. I watched the early alpha footage and was stunned by the vividness of the environment and characters and also, it had a slight gothicesque vibe to it. I actually immediately went over to Indieg...

@David It's pretty easy to discern it's not ash, since ash has greyer bark, lots of black-brown buds and pinnate compound leaves. :P I'd say the branch in the drawing could be from a tea bush.

Wow, that is one fortitious mouse! You captured the vigouresness and boldness very well. Just one little detail: wearing the lute like that would be pretty uncomfy both for the mouse and the lute as the strings would continuously rub against the mouse's back. @Jeremiah Any chance you'd want to share...

I love the ideas that emphasize the unique scale of the game, like bird --> dragon. I feel this needs to be stressed, it is a HUGE selling point of the game. After all, playing a minstrel mouse is something different from the every-day run-of-the-mill muscle/boobs-packed hero. Also I would like the ...

Lava.... there has got to be lava. I concur! But not just boring old lava streams! It would be awesome to have something like: Lava tubes http://epod.typepad.com/.a/6a0105371bb32c970b0120a4e56f65970b-750wi and basalt columns http://odysseycoachtours.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Giants-Causeway....

KwisatzHaderach

Right, onto what I wanted to say: what do you think the role of the Little Mouse's Lute will be? Will it be a kind of magical tool? Even a weapon (have to think about the guitar in Brütal Legend ;) )? Will it fill a central role in some of the quests? Will there be some sort of "playing" s...

Dear devs at Seith Inc. limited, this is great: I can throw around ideas and someone else has to do all the work :D it would be really awesome if you could implement tides into the game.
