Adventure-Treff

Tanais Games (aus Kroatien) arbeiten aktuell an "Saint Kotar", einem 2.5D-Horror-Adventure, das 2018 erscheinen soll. Darin reisen der Professor Benedek Dohnány, der Museumsdirektor Nikolay Kalyakin und die Journalistin Viktoria Kalyakin in den kroatischen Ort Saint Kotar, um einer Ausstellung über Mittelalterliche Kunst beizuwohnen. Dort angekommen, kann von einem warmen Empfang keine Rede mehr sein und die drei Protagonisten, die allesamt spielbar sein sollen, finden sich in einer markaberen Mordserie wieder, die auf Satansanbetung und Hexenrituale zu deuten scheint. Die Morde führen die Protagonisten auf die Spur der dunklen Vergangenheit von Saint Kotar.

We still have about 2 months of work on the demo. Considering that we
don't want to launch a Kickstarter campaign without the demo being
available, and having the upcoming months not suitable for the campaign
to launch (Christmas, New Year, post-New Year period, etc), we've
decided to post-pone the launch until Spring. To be more specific, since
we already decided on the date, we will launch the campaign on the 10th
of April.

To avoid loosing precious time, after we polish the demo, we'll just
continue the work on the rest of the game. Yes, we cannot finish the
full game with the budget we have (that's why we'll launch the KS
campaign), but we do have some left to fund the development until
Spring. This will also shorten the months of development after the KS
campaign.

We understand that there are still many months until April, but we
really don't want to ruin the experience and rush it now just to launch
before December. The playable demo is going to be a true experience of
the full game, and this takes time.

Oh, and, you are the first outside of the team who knows about the date!
We'll release this information in public only on Saturday, with the
release of the new video gameplay. So don't forget to check our
facebook, twitter or youtube channel and see what we've prepared The
same video will actually show that we're going to have german subtitles.
Not only that, we're considering even a stretch goal for the KS campaign
for the german voice overs (since the default ones will be in english).

If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

For most of us, fear to fail is something that we’ve adopted very early in our lives. Failure meant that we are not good enough, that we didn’t work or prepare, or that we didn’t care. Consequently, that emotional reaction of shame implanted itself so deeply in our brains that we reject failure, all the time at all costs. I could continue writing philosophical sentences forever, but let’s face it: failure feels embarrassing and it hurts.
Nothing catastrophic is happening with the studio, neither we’re abandoning the Saint Kotar project - on the contrary! But we did fail, we failed you. As announced back in November, the playable demo release and Kickstarter campaign launch were both scheduled for April 10. It is now with great sadness that I need to announce we are forced to delay the campaign and, subsequently, the demo for Spring 2018. Spring is already upon us, which means they’ll launch either in May or before mid-June. That’s pretty close and you’d might ask yourself why we feel ashamed then. Well, it hurts to invest so much time and passion, have everything under control and then see your plans slip through your fingers because of an administrative roadblock. There’s a saying that a project without problems is doomed in the long run. In other words, problems are a common thing in development of creative projects. But, when your plans get stuck and delayed because of administrative problems - that hurts big time. As mentioned before, we’ve decided to crowdfund Saint Kotar on Kickstarter because we consider it the best platform for our project. Of course, we were aware from the very beginning that Kickstarter doesn’t support Croatia, and we have found a solution to this problem. But administrative work takes time, sometimes beyond any reasonable length. As a consequence, we cannot launch the Kickstarter campaign in April as planned, and as much as we'd want to release the demo for you right now, we believe the excitement would wear off long before our campaign can launch - and we’ll need every bit of support we can get at that moment.

The encountered administrative roadblock has a positive side too. It’s giving us extra time to further improve, add extra content and polish The Yellow Mask - the official and final name for the playable demo of Saint Kotar. The Yellow Mask will be free, of course, and available on Steam and as a DRM-free download as well. We'll also keep our promise and give to our newsletter subscribers an exclusive chance to be among the first to play the beta version of the demo, a few weeks before the official release date - and our Kickstarter campaign! So stay tuned, and if you haven’t subscribed to our newsletter yet, now is the time to do it as the release date is not that far away!
And, if you really can’t wait for The Yellow Mask to appear officially online, we have a workaround that might relief the wait: a playable sneak peek of the game will be available at the Reboot Develop conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia, from April 19 to April 21. The “sneak peek” means it will be literally just that, as we want to keep the full experience and gameplay reserved for the official release. But this will be the very first time we'll show Saint Kotar in public and we're really excited! So, if you're attending the event feel free to drop by our expo booth. We'd be more than happy to meet you and chat about the game. And, to keep our community in the loop, we’ll share photos and broadcast live from the event on our official channels!
Last but not least, in March we’ve held auditions for voice actors. We were astonished by the numbers of applications - a total of almost 250 candidates! The auditions were intended only for the roles needed for the playable demo, but we’ve already found voice actors for all characters in the full game. The amount of talent interested in participating in Saint Kotar is just amazing and we're both glad and humbled! Now all we need is a successful Kickstarter campaign to make the complete game a reality…

I want to conclude this post reflecting back again on the essence of failure. I believe all human beings should think about failure differently. Many mental coaches say that mistakes should be regarded as a necessary evil in order to grow. That’s not true. Mistakes are not evil at all, they are inevitable parts of our journeys and the only way to make dreams come true. We made a mistake to define the launch date too early, before solving all administrative roadblocks first. Now that we’re very close to solve the last one remaining, we’re journeying with full force towards our dreams, dreams filled with yellow masks and a place called Sveti Kotar…

Just to add, the Kickstarter and public release of the prologue will happen next month, not in a few months

Ich habe zwar eine Visa-Kreditkarte, aber die benutzte ich NIE für den Zahlungsverkehr im Internet, da mir dieser zu risikoreich erscheint (wollt ihr das Risiko eingehen, dass wenn eines Tages die Systeme von Kickstarter gehackt würden, eure Kreditkartendaten sich kurz darauf im Darknet befinden?), daher benutze ich diese nur um (kostenfrei) Bargeld an Fremdbankenautomaten abzuheben.

Mit Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay oder American Express kann ich nichts anfangen.

Es sieht danach aus, dass ich bei Kickstarter NIE zu einem "Backer" werde...
