Sui Generis (cool tech)

It looks very promising. I especially like the combat system which looks like PoE with added realism.

Idea is awesome but few things need to be adjusted. Combat needs better animation (especially dual wield). As many have mentioned animation speed, flourishes all improve visually as well as statistically.

The combat itself is rather slow, I can't imagine surviving any swarm when you have to go toe to toe with one at a time. Maybe a stance/attack for multiple targets might help but clearly it has a little Witcher 2 type gameplay to it in that you cant just button mash.

I am guessing the animation, dodges and parry are all stock. So you just press and hold the attack button and watch a long fight. I can't imagine that being very entertaining after an hour or two. Still the physics is awesome.

Sui Generis sort of remind me of Grim Dawn in a sense about the environment, and the theme. Only thing different is that Sui Generis is a bit TOO realistic. lol



At the moment, I am not really interested in the game since I got PoE, TL2, and GD on my priority list. Probably next year around this time is when I will get back to this game.

VERY cool tech for sure.
And I'm surprised and glad that the idea was executed so well, but maybe not well enough...
The combat looks kinda ragdoll drunk, and I think that will put off a lot of people.

I've thought for some time about how combat could be made personal, have the player in full control of the character (sword swing direction, power, strafing, foot work etc..), and make the player EXPERIENCE the axe wound on their fore arm, and strive with all power of will to avoid their enemy maiming their body and limbs. Have the player scared shitless about their arms being eaten off by an approaching wolf, because you would in real life, not nearly as much in a game.

Sui Generis looks like it will bring some great combat. If they somehow make the character not look drunk, I'll be an even happier camper.


Overall though, I'm super excited for it, and plan to check up on it frequently for updates and buy it eventually. If people buy my stuff I'll be able to afford to support the kick starter x)
Good 2 days to go and they got a considerable boost in the last few hours, but i think that it sadly still won't be enough :(

Btw: i liked the writing update a lot :D

EDIT: found something intereting in the comments:

(the below quote is one of the devs)

@germx
I'll quote a reply to a post on our forums:

"The idea is that you and your friends drop your characters in a (persistent) world instance and just do whatever you want. Whether you cooperate or duel or whatever else is entirely up to you. Even if you are cooperating a stray swing of your friend's weapon will still hurt, thaumaturgy affects everything etc. We want AI whether for combat, dialogue or anything else to function in relation to groups as well as individuals (the two things can be conceptually abstracted by AI). Even in single player you may be able to join, lead or form bands of mercenaries, for example."

There is a huge dynamic sandbox element to the game (the idea is a sandbox with lots of depth and complexity) and the general emphasis on dynamic story, dialogue and AI behaviours means that even the more important plot elements should work well whether you are playing alone or with friends. We want lots of major variables to be dynamic and every play through to be significantly different.

Looks interesting. I will pledge but it may not reach the goal.
RIP Bolto
Last 16 hours to go, a small reminder for those who would want to pledge.

Besides, here is the waited ambitious interview Sui Generis had !

I was gonna hold back on this, but i'll buy the alpha access pack now that i see theres only 13 hours left.
Yea, I took the alpha pack too.. And upgraded to the next tier for a few minutes ago. It sounds very interesting. PoE and Sui Generis would be a perfect match to shift between :P
