Rotheld Online - The Latest Kickstarter MMORPG NOT To Fund

so i cover mmorpgs i cover new kickstarter projects things like that and this is both of them so get ready for this one prepare yourself it is roth held online now usually what happens is somebody on my discord will be like oh have you seen this new project on kickstarter i'll just come across it naturally excited check the website unfortunately today it came across in a different way i got a message from somebody called deadite71 on discord private message saying a new mmo just launched on kickstarter and then i said link question mark and they never replied but then i opened kickstarter unlocked and the icon from this guy on discord was the same icon as the one on this kickstarter and then they went into my public server on discord and also posted a new mmo has appeared on kickstarter um which is obviously just self-advertising self-promotion without any permission whatsoever and basically trying to drive eyeballs to the to their kickstarter thinking that it's going to help them but i'm just going to tell you now guys this doesn't help you at all it actually makes you look really desperate and it doesn't make your project look legit at all it makes it actually look drastically worse now apparently they have a small tech demo here i'm not going to download this because obviously we don't even know if this is real this could be a virus something like that somebody else will try it um if it is legit let me know and i will obviously come back to that and we'll leave an asterisk here we'll leave a caveat that maybe the game is legit and maybe their tech demo shows that this is all awesome but they have a four minute video here so we're gonna watch that together we're gonna go over the info in the the um the kickstarter page and the lack of info that they've given and they're asking for a hundred thousand and seven a hundred and seven thousand pounds which is what like hundred thirty thousand dollars something like that so let's go over it a place to call home okay i'm gonna restart the video here we just watched 30 seconds of it but they're playing some dmca music so i'm gonna have to turn the music off while we watch this we'll have to make our own um kickstarter trailer here you can see there's water there's trees uh buildings looks a little bit grainy for some reason might be recording in in low settings or whatever to make it not as laggy although it does seem a little bit laggy um so it's just a bug standard fly through to show you know they have things in a town it doesn't look terrible to be honest i'm not sure how much of this is assets i'm gonna guess close to if not a hundred percent of it would be a pre-made assets which again caveat we don't we don't think that's the worst thing in the world it is what it is but it doesn't really show that you've done you know crazy amount of stuff other than chucked a bunch of assets in a in an engine but we will have to see hopefully they let me check is there's still music yeah oh wait we'll wait i assume somebody's going to start talking so here we go hi guys still got music mark and i am the lead developer for an upcoming mmorpg rather online here on kickstarter i am very excited to share with you he's online we can't trust you already bro you're a clicker you're clicking your abilities how is anyone supposed to think that you can make a good mmo when you're clicking your abilities that's crazy there are three primary aspects for the development of rothell online first it's all about having a purpose quests in roswell are stories that have meaning and purpose some can even span across the game world the lore is rich and exploration is greatly encouraged in fact this guy's this guy's got the most texan accent i've ever heard i think exploration is the only way to find the rarest crafting recipes and items in the game during your travels you will find lost cities dark dungeons and new civilizations not found on any map player choice is an integral part of rothelle online for instance you have seven races and five classes to choose from and each of those classes will have a total of four talent trees you can use to build that class choose to specialize on one tree or pick a little from all four giving your character great diversity i mean this just looks like this looks like an mmo that maybe if this was the alpha footage of an mmo 12 years ago i'd have been like oh yeah i'll put that on my radar it looks like it it doesn't look that much better than pathfinder online and that was on kickstarter like a decade ago it just looks not not that impressive i don't know why anyone would give you 100 grand for this and obviously 100 is not enough to make an mmo so you just be throwing a hundred grand away basically aspect is that in raw filled online players can impact the game world permanently players will have the ability to build homes businesses and even cities and as those cities grow different enemies will emerge so if you do not want to lose your home or business be prepared to defend it ralthought online is going to be great we need your help in making it amazing help us make a game you can enjoy and be proud of roth held online a place to call home is that it are we just [Music] so we're just gonna be watching the same now just shooting these abilities continued support thank you for watching and for your continued support we hope to see you soon on discord and in the game have a great day okay well i mean not the most impressive kickstarter trailer i've ever seen but one thing i did scroll through this already there is nothing here about how many people are working on the game what games you've made what experience you have as a development team the faq there's there's nothing on the faq as far as i remember yet nothing on the faq no updates no comments risks let's see what the risks are to risk making an mmo um probably the most challenging genre in the industry we're aware of these challenges and we'll come in at this project with the kind of expertise that allows us to mitigate and manage them based on what based on what where where is this experience where if wherever you listed your accomplishments as people you know what there is no there's no section here for it's just talking about things that will potentially be in the game it's a new mmo where we are putting rpg back into the genre this is a high fantasy mmorpg with a focus on three major aspects story exploration and choice we've all wanted a world that lives and reacts where our decisions matter where the world changes because of what choices we've made roth held online is that game uh you see for yourself in a small tech demo everything in the tech demo just place holders and will change so yeah i assume that is uh basically an admission that this is all assets but who knows um choosing your class and race is a good start but rotheldonline is just getting started there's seven races five main classes and each of those classes have three talent trees you can decide to specialize in a specific tree or combine bits of each tree this gives great diversity in character advancement and playstyle you decide on the life you want you want to be a craftsman it's up to you you want to be an adventurer and build a home or business up to you it's all about choice so sandbox presumably um a sandbox style game i'm not going to go through each of these sections because honestly i feel like it would be a waste of time the journey massive and immersive world waiting few explorations not only encouraged but the rest items in crafting recipes can only be found through explosion discover new areas to explore and new enemies to engage while roaming a beautiful world community join us on discord i wonder how my discord users they have 14 so i'm not going to join and be number 15 um because i feel like that's a waste of time the main goal of so here we go funding goals the main goal of this campaign is to help fund current and future development of rotheld online if the campaign is successful we'll be able to significantly improve rothheld online by contracting outside help to improve art and other vital game functions what kickstarter will allow us to do is expand our scope and give our team flexibility and room to breathe to really give us the opportunity to create exactly what we want we need your voices to help grow this community and to keep us accountable to those who matter most the players come help us make the game i know all of us want to play rothelld online a place to call home so nowhere in here this is the problem with kickstarter when you do a half-assed kickstarter and then just instead of putting effort into making the kickstarter good you decided to go and message content creators and pretend to not be affiliated with the game to self-advertise to people instead just having a conversation with me being on the level and being like by the way i'm jason clark from whatever the studio making roth held online here's my game you know like indie devs mostly do and i'll have a conversation with you and i'll help you out and give you some advice but instead of doing that you decided to just come in and and say oh there's a new mmo on kickstarter that without including the fact that you're the one who posted it on there and you're just doing a bit of self-promotion uh it just comes across really scummy to be honest it comes across as you're just trying to advertise instead of trying to have open dialogue with with things and people that you are trying to use to help you and if you're gonna do that mate put more effort into the kickstarter this is this is absolute garbage to show people your trailer shows more than probably a lot of kickstarter trailers do but at the same time shows almost nothing it's a very basic combat system it's something that some people could throw together in not too much time in unreal or unity or anything like that and we've seen this a million times before you've came with nothing different this has got less information do most of the kickstarter mmos i've seen recently where they actually tell you oh we've got two people working on the game in a completely unpaid position and we don't have experience building mmos you've basically just come in here and not told anyone who you are how many people are working on the game what games you worked on previously why you would be able to deliver on this how are you gonna be held accountable you've just said oh here's the ideas of our game here's a small tech demo trailer and give us a hundred thousand pounds without any kind of breakdown on how you're going to use that money anything at all that would give confidence to a single person who would potentially back this project apparently four people have backed it for 745 pounds um don't know if that's anyone affiliated with the company or whatever to get the ball rolling which is very common in kickstarter but yeah i definitely recommend not giving this any money whatsoever um it raises all the same red flags that you're typically used to in in kickstarter and mmo kickstarter there's just nothing here this is an absolute nothing burger you've paid your admission fee you've came in you've said i'll have a big burger please and they've gave you a nothing burger so yeah that's that um next time don't do that that's very annoying so yeah i'm going to get back to my room world save because that was probably not worth tabbing out and wasting my my precious rim world time on so thank you very much for watching as always leave a like comment subscribe close to 100 000 subscribers at this point which would be awesome to reach uh hopefully we can do that this month and check out the links in the video description uh twitter twitch patreon and discord that would be the other one uh appreciate you all stay safe by their way out peace so you
