Reminds me of Second Life with the clubs.

We can download real good music beat boxes,editors real easy now a days,no need to buy into this.I had a real awesome music editor like 25 years ago,so this is also nothing new.Adding a few npc's dancing or standing there is also not going to entice me at all.I saw a better movie in the opening of i think was ut2003 with a huge crowd cheering the combatants on.

So you rather watch a scene like this game has or one like this ..and better music too.So yeah they have a LOT of work to do to bring a screen to life.

I don't think they were marketing them as NPC, they are supposed to be players, kinda like Second Life.

Aw, that scene with the lasers at the party made reminded me of the Rave Party missions in City of Heroes! Sure wish I could do one again.

I like the idea of the game, combining quests and interaction with live music. I think the examples of what has been and is being done in games like Second Life show there's an interest in that sort of thing, and what they've shown here is probably a long way from what they plan to develop in a year. I say we wait and see. As with many games, this one may not even make it to beta.

I think it’s past beta and it has potential.

The caves might be challenging for the gamer but it makes it more interesting and opportunities for self growth.

I mean people first said second life would never last... With that said, good luck to them, they got their work cut out for them.

It's pretty awesome to see the different viewpoints of people on our game. I'm Andy, and I'm giving this my best shot. The Kickstarter is actually live now at http://kck.st/2F6ejjj
