Disco Elysium’s spiritual successor Hopetown smashes Kickstarter goal in 3 hours
New Disco Elysium successor, built by former Dying Light and Witcher 3 devs, smashes Kickstarter goal in three hours
ZAUM
Yeah, that's gonna be a no from me dawg
I haven't delved too deep into the shitshow that followed that game, and I know it's convoluted as hell, but it seems like that's referring to previous associates of the studio, not the studio itself. The page mentions Martin Luiga in association with it, for whatever that's worth.
The minds of ZAUM, not the losers who own it
It's extremely puzzling to me that Martin Luiga jumped onto this project when I've heard so many bad things about Longdue, not least their ongoing feud with Argo Tuulik. I thought the bad blood was primarily between Kurvitz and Tuulik, not Luiga. But yes, Martin being involved in this project does legitimise it somewhat. I'm still more optimistic about Summer Eternal and Red Info, as far as the splinter studios go.
Former ZA/UM devs.
Agreed. I'm more excited to see what Summer Eternal does.
This is the only team out of this fallout that's worth keeping an eye on imo. The other teams feel like they're just trying to ride the hype for the money.
