All right, so I’m not intimately familiar with the Divinity series of games but it is one that I am certainly interested in. While I didn’t back Divinity: Original Sin it’s been on my list to play for a while now. And now might actually be a good time to dust it off and give it a spin as the developers have just announced that they will not only be making a sequel but it will be crowdfunded just like its predecessor.
Divinity: Original Sin 2’s expected launch date is August 26, so if you’re a fan make sure to mark your calendars. Instead of just using money from sales they wanted to let the fans in on the ground floor and help it along throughout the development cycle. Check out the current page for the sequel and give some feedback on what you want to see when it goes live.
I backed it and it is a really good game, i’ve got over 100h on it lol and a steam achievement success rate of 87% on it..while i am not particularly a big player..steam says that i play around 40h in 2 weeks..that speak of the quality of the game.
Though Sven said on his blog that Larian will never come again to KS after the end of their first campaign.
When i read that i answered him quite vividly on his blog because his argument were cheap.
One particularly was the fact that big company like Larian were stealing money from their mouth to little independant creators that engage in kickstarter while in fact it is such huge company that attracts new backers and old backers. without them those creators would have trouble ever reaching their goal.
Seems that apparently he changed his minds due to feedback from backers and the anger his post on his blog raised. Still i am quite surprised to see him on kickstarter.
I thought the first game did well enough that it would fund the second game without going to kickstarter
