Common words do not mean common understanding. Language is mercurial. Meanings are never constant.

I believe, sir, the term is "chaotic".

Mwahahahahahaha...

When it gets funded on Kickstarter.

So maybe this will come with graphics by default... :D

I don't think so.  Graphics should be a donation incentive.  >.>

Well, a kickstarter campaign seems useless then, unless he is going to ask for a very low amount of money that he expects loyalists to pay.

Which he can just ask on the forums.

I just doubt you can expect people to help fund a game in this age when they see graphics are just a backburner idea to the dev. Either that, or I severely underestimate the Rougelike community (Very possible).

It's not an incentive, nor a "possibility". We're PROMISING AA-quality graphics and a top-notch GFX/Audio layer here :). Nothing of the community/friends DoomRL level, but serious commercial stuff.

This teaser was meant to show that we've got the skills to deliver what we promise. If you guys will follow us in this journey.

Right, and I expected as much. I'll glady watch to see how this turns out, and if I like what I see, I'll support it (If I have an income at that time).

Tbh, as long as it has that tactical feel that DoomRL has, I'll probably enjoy it.

I break to get ready for exams, come back, and then this.

I am so looking forward to this I don't even. This looks incredible.

Although, Thomas told me it was DBZRL so.... Nope, this is even better. I can't wait to learn more about this!

Please tell me that DBZRL is actually a possibility and not just a joke.

Jupiter Hell looks amazing though, may actually be my first kickstarter backing.

I'm really interested in the whole "Spiritual successor to DoomRL" thing. I wonder what that entails?

Yes, we need more details about this game. Trailer does not tell anything at all. Let me guess one-lined descritpion.

Rogue-like SF-themed original IP (but using good old "fight with hordes of enemies literally from Hell" scenario that we all know and love) with 3D graphics and fast-paced mostly ranged combat rarely encountered in Roguelikes?

I especially wonder about enemies. While it is understandable some generic mooks (and related tropes, like Mook Maker) will always be needed, I sincerely hope it will be more interesting than "imp in different color and without spikes".
