    Owlcat is a big RPG developer. Closer to Larian in terms of headcount. $1.4m is a drop in the bucket.

    The concerns here would be about the different type of project and Owlcat’s history of releasing unpolished games at 1.0, not in it being a soulless cash grab.

      glad to hear they are so beloved, I think an unpolished full release is a cash grab, as first impressions are important, but we can disagree on that point.

        Some folks have likened them to Obsidian, isometric rpg to third person scifi action RPG.

        If the mechanics are ok, they have done a wonderful job of writing in the past so I’m optimistic.

        Fingers crossed!
