If Taleworlds had a Larger budget...

[Vassily Petrov | TWC]

What do people think would happen if Taleworlds had the budget of James Cameron, but still had their 'magic touch' and supportiveness to the mod community?

HOW AMAZING WOULD IT BE!!!! Like seriously, they could have an Optional storyline, Epic graphics, cutscenes, a Better Campaign map! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!!!!!!!!!!

Well we could actually make this a game!

I agree. The money always is in the wrong hands, and actual creative and innovative devs like TW are stuck with their Indie-funds.

I am happy with it the way it is.  I just wish more people played online in multiplayer.

Dont you reckon its wierd how the games made my independant and low budget developers are the ones that feel like a fan went to them and toild them EXACTLY what to do! and they care HEAPS about there fanbase!!!! gosh I am gonna buy M&B 3 times just to help them!!!!!!

If they had a big budget they would probably **** up the game and not think about fans... like Infinity Ward

I'd like to see a much grimmer setting, with more dirt, blood and people screaming in pain. But that's just me.

I'd also like to see smoother fighting as well as more variety in the combat. For example, different animations that are used according to the situation the player's in. Like, if he's up close to someone, the thrust move would look more like he's trying to run his sword through the other guy's stomach and less like he's trying to tickle his opponent's belly button.

Hmm.....It is really an interesting topic. Of course full of various possibilities.
I think if Taleworlds had a larger budget, better graphics in game will come true at least.

 

[waggywags]

Your overlooking a point. Unless I missed a post, Taleworlds is seriously understaffed compared to normal companies. And that means all the money in the world cannot compensate for the people needed to code and all. That said, they deserve more funds, yes.

 

[Kittenhuffer]

Money can hire new staff, no?

 

[Aitchison]

It would be interesting to say the least. Maybe a cool feature would be a realistic decapitation and mutilation, or maybe that would raise the age rating too much. A super AI and complex siege mechanics. I suppose there is always the lottery 

 

[waggywags]

@Kitten, see Daikatana's history for why you shouldn't willy nilly hire staff. Not that I blame the guy, his intent was good, he just needed more experience in management. But well, a team of devs shouldn't be randomly made, helps if they understand each other well and all.

All those things you just listed are in-game already.

There is the most optional storyline I have seen in any game.
The graphics are better than any other medieval game.
There is a cutscene.
They made a better campaign map.
And the possibilities are endless because of easy modding.
And it is already a great game.

Still, always room for improvement. For instance, COUGH WEAPON VARIETY COUGH. Sorry, I just love bucklers too much, and the only one I ever got to hold was just a small shield, no offensive capabilities or secretive ones like in real life.

 

[Lizard_man]

i love the game as it is, single player is ****ing epic, if they had a bigger budget from the start, obviously it would have turned out different, as it is now, the games got a unique charm about it, a bigger budget and i think they would have lost that...

 

[Trueten]

I think money would spoil the dev team and the game.
Most of recent Hollywood movies were made to make money, not to show something interesting and it's sucks. When money interrupts somewhere it kills all art.

I'm sure if all mods were made for money they would all be crappy. Honestly. And when people have lack of money, but they have some ideas they would like to implement in the game then it'll be just a masterpiece.

And that masterpiece is why we all gathered on this forum.

 

[The Shadow]

I wouldn't mind seeing them getting some extra cash, and hiring some graphics artists from the community.  (There's a lot of good ones that do just as good a job as TaleWorlds.)

 

[Kittenhuffer]

The question was...

What do people think would happen if Taleworlds had the budget of James Cameron, but still had their 'magic touch' and supportiveness to the mod community?

... Not "What if TaleWorlds started out with unlimited cash and didn't give a **** about what their player base thinks?"

Still, even if they'd get a ****load of cash tomorrow, I don't think they'd get sloppy and stop caring about the community. They're still the same people and I think their number one goal was and will always be to make good games. Not to earn money.

 

[Trueten]

Oh no, no, no. Money change people. Just like power. It also would change dev's goal. Artist always has to be hungry.

 

[Kittenhuffer]

That's bull**** I'm afraid. Money and power change a lot of people but far from everyone.

If I'm not mistaken this whole game series started out as an experiment, more or less. Something they liked (and still like, I assume) doing. So unless they start playing golf 24/7, as rich people do, I don't think they'd stop with something they genuinely enjoy doing.
