New FPS/RPG, A Work in Progress: Dysis

[ReBirth]

Kickstarter allows debit card? I just know. If yes, then I have missed lot of funding

Paypal and G-Wallet not unfortunately.

[ra4king]

Well of course. It's a bank card like anything else.

This game is a staff pick on kickstarter!

Mother of god, congrats!

[Arktos]

Thanks everyone! Ya, I can't say how psyched I am to be a staff pick, very encouraging

The Kickstarter is going very well, plus I have a big update that I am working on and plan on releasing in a couple days!

[ReBirth]

Well of course. It's a bank card like anything else.

Wallet accepts credit card ONLEH

Congrats for Dysis!!

Kickstarter uses Amazon payments, so I'd imagine anything you can pay Amazon with is fine with Kickstarter.

Nah, it's a bit weird. Because they have to charge you for your pledge but potentially refund you if the project fails to be successfully funded, so I think their payment options are more limited than normal amazon payments.

[sproingie]

Actually, they don't charge at all until the funding deadline is met (just verified that on my account, no charge appearing at all).  Must be some other technicality if it's restricted to credit cards at the backend and not prepaid accounts -- maybe prepaid isn't is as reliably funded at billing time, I dunno.

[Arktos]

I'm not exactly sure why Kickstarter has such strict requirements - I guess they just want to ensure that all pledges go through?

Either way, the KS is going great! I'm going to be making a big update tomorrow morning (~9:00 EST, 14:00 GMT) - so stay tuned and keep spreading the word!

The Mason builder robots thank you:

[Sammidysam]

You're over 100% funded! 

[Arktos]

You're over 100% funded! 

Woo! Running a little behind with the update today, I just want to make sure those shirts turn out perfect

Also, Nathan over at Indie Game HQ was kind enough to interview me and put Dysis up on their page! http://indiegamehq.com/dysis-developer-talks-biomes-maps-and-kickstarter-with-indie-game-hq/

[Arktos]

Eeesh, delaying T-Shirt designs till next update, but that's now main priority since I've got the first update live!

I've got some brand new terrain and biomes to show off:









Plus Steven Stern posted a very gracious article (I'm blushing a here) on Valid Gaming: http://validgaming.com/kickstarter-project-dysis/

All the new details can be found back on the Kickstarter page

Thanks everyone - you are amazing!

[Gjallar]

Wow, the skydome looks amazing! And you made all of this by yourself? Very impressive, you deserve the fame 

[matheus23]

Wow... I just love the Lush Forest Trees. Just... so ... awesome...
I love blocks.

[ra4king]

Ok sweet, I officially pledged $10 right now! Can't wait to get a copy!

[Arktos]

Thank you! Gjallar - ya, I've had a long while to tweak and refine everything, and I do have someone doing the music for me

Matheus23 - thanks a bunch! Hey me too on those blocks.

ra4king - awesome! I'm glad you're excited, thanks for pledging - I can't wait to give you a copy!

[ra4king]

Thank you! Gjallar - ya, I've had a long while to tweak and refine everything, and I do have someone doing the music for me

Your music guy, Harry Rowell, is amazing. His soundcloud page, if anyone else is interested!

[Arktos]

Good call on linking to him there - thanks! Definitely check him out folks - he does some great stuff, and I couldn't have done this without him!

[ra4king]

Sweet update! I'm super excited for the modding API, looks awesome already.

Also, you live in Atlanta? I live here too! I'll secretly visit you

[sproingie]

"secretly"?  

[ReBirth]

"secretly"?  

They wanna go dating, don't disturb

[Regenuluz]

I think that's called stalking, and has nothing to do with dating. Unless of course you ask the stalker.

[princec]

Whatever turns you on, baby. The internet caters for all tastes.

[ReBirth]

But stalker stalks because they want to touch you!

[theagentd]

But stalker stalks because they want to touch you!

Or kill you (depending on the anime). Sometimes both.

[Arktos]

Hahaha, well this escalated quickly =p

But yep, I'm just outside of Atlanta - lovely place. I figured I would add in that tier because the Atl airport is the busiest in the world (so there is actually a pretty high probability of people flying through). Also someone requested I throw something like that up there, could be a ton of fun!

[Arktos]

Woo! New Gameplay video:

Hope you like it! Also, there are only 5 days left to get in on the Kickstarter, so keep on sharing!

[Gjallar]

Oh wow, this is clearly going somewhere. I like how you can jump into your units, reminds me of "Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War".

Were you somewhat inspired by that game or didn't you even know that it exists?

[Arktos]

Thanks! Wow... I didn't even know it existed - definitely going to check it out though! Can you pilot/control all the units/in first person? Cool!
