Welcome to the beginning of a new series on my channel keeping up with previously funded games in the Monster Taming genre. We’re starting with the first game I personally have ever backed. Hope you enjoy 🙂

hi
ds1 music adds a nice touch
It seems like there’s some issues with development, but at least there’s a consistent newsletter to show the developers are actually working on the game
After seeing some kickstarters give false promises or just not go as we all hoped, I do want this game to be the monster tamer game we've always wanted and then some, revolutionising the genre, being a competing game that causes other franchises to improve as well. I hope they know what they are doing while also listening to their fans and audience. I know it's not a AAA company making this game, but there have been small groups or individuals that have blown us away with writing or some creative designs, so fingers crossed.
Nice video Ed, I agree overall with the points you made but as one of the really only 4 regularily active players in the alpha right now, I'd like to add a few things:
First of, you correctly identified that the devs have two very different mindsets when it comes to communicating details about the gameplay and details about the story and Kinfolk (the creatures).
Gameplay is discussed very openly, with a few developers even partaking in regular open conversation on the discord with people giving feedback on the combat in the alpha. I have talked to multiple devs personally, and by their interactions with the community I would be surprised if the passion of at least those devs I talked to is faked. To anyone thinking in that direction: I find it highly unlikely that KF is a scam.
Rob (the creator and lead of Kindred fates) has expressed a strong opinion of revealing as little as possible about the single player content, which is what poeple in the Kindred Fates community are generally most exited about, and leads to most of the criticism.
Reveals of new Kinfolk designs are infrequent, as part of the same philisophy, they want to keep most of the designs a secret until launch. The alpha has been updated regularily, and me and a few others are trying to give quality feedback, but I feel like the effectiveness of the community feedback for the combat is not that great overall since there are very few active people in the alpha right now (which isn't really that unusual for a premium alpha with a community of this size).
A personal concern of mine are also the visuals and sound of the game at this point, although it is fair to assume that work on that is reserved for a later stage of developement and it might be a bit early to critique that quite yet.
I do really love the concept behind Kindred Fates and I hope it all goes well with it, as I look forward to playing when it fully launches.
Gonna love keeping up with this video series Ed. Glad you’re deciding to do it.
Personally I’m glad if a developer can atleast offer occasional or consistent updates on a games development. I can understand that it’s very difficult to do so because of how unpredictable game development is but for these types of crowdfunded projects it’s super important.
Love this idea of video
The title of this video gave me a heart attack! I was worried for a moment that the game was cancelled or something without me realizing. "What happened [insert game here]" has kind of an ominous tone to it. Maybe just calling the series "Where are they now" – the second part of the this video's title – matches the vibes better?
When ep 2 of doodle world
I saw this a while ago on kickstarter and completely forgot about it before this video. Looks like a very ambitious game which can kill a lot of indie projects, especially with open world titles, not to mention how each creature needs its own unique gameplay style. I’m no programmer but seems like a ton of work and I hope the team manage to pull through.
The game idea looks sick it needs to come out it has some cool concept art the idea that it could come is very exciting hope they begin working I will be waiting
Great series idea!
I have been a player since alpha day one, I'm in love with the game with over 150 hours in the alpha alone, I have even taken on myself to make a kindredfates video everyday until the game comes out 🙂 So I would have to say yes I see great thing for this game moving forward, the devs are very active in the discord and the newsletters/alpha patchs are all wonderful 😀
Hello👋
i still really dislike the name they give to the creatures in this game
I remember this Kickstarter. I thought it was cool and felt bad I couldn't donate at the time. Now I'm glad that I didn't. Seems like this will be another crowdfunded videogame scandal going to court.
In a way Kindred fates it's what atteacted me to Your channel ando My first reason to sub. Hope it gets finished. The arena on it's own it's pretty fun.
This looks great! I'm joining their Discord 😀
I love this video idea!! I hope you make more of these for other games. As for kindred fates then it’s still one of my most anticipated games. Rewatching the Kickstarter trailer has given me the same chills I had when I watched it for the first time so I really hope they don’t suffer another development heck ups and release a good game
