  • While I don't mind the idea of death and enjoy the libertarian/anarchist mindset that seems prevalent here, there needs to be more incentives in place than Haven and Hearth.

    Pilgrims could glow a "good" or "evil" color depending on their deeds, Or have them forfeit some aspect of the game if they turn to "evil" deeds and vice versa for those who choose "good" deeds exclusively. ie. "good" pilgrims can lead more into battle while "evil" pilgrims are more powerful independently etc.

  • This looks pretty damn interesting. Can't wait to see what kind of community it breeds.

  • *I SHALL END THIS MADNESS !*

    I am a Minecon Attendee and I know this game might be close to Minecraft gameplay. But this is not a copy. Minecraft is not original by it self.

  • Reminds me of wurm online

  • Woot and all that needs to be done to haven and hearth is get rid of lag and it will be the Ultimate game

  • Comment removed

  • haven and hearth still exist :)

  • There was a game of that time before. Haven & Hearth. I loved it <3

  • in 3:48 watch his left-eye blink while the right does not.

  • A anti-grief system is GAY, IT WOULD NOT BE A TRUE SIMULATION WITH ONE! Because you cant do what ever you want ingame, that is what souronding in-game villages politics abore to.

  • @DMZreds there isn't one.

  • lazy eye xD

  • I will test this game, but I will always continue playing haven and hearth :)

    I hope you guys are done wit this game fast enough, cause I would like to see more updates in H&H :D

    btw: I just died, but I continue on playing :D

  • xyson clone

    

  • @jamesbmxdude Lol fail. Haven and Hearth has been out many years before Xyson. This is from the makers of H&H and if its better than H&H is, it will kick Xyson's ass by a long shot.

  • @jamesbmxdude nah, Xyson is a clone of Wurm Online.

    Salem is based on Seatribes main project, which is more or less a Social Experiment, and intends to recreate human society and behaviour in a world with as few 'rules' as possible.

  • Does he have something in his eye?

  • Wait is he from iceland n.n ?

  • I CAMMMMEEEE

    

  • Haven & Hearth with 3D graphics, bloody awesome, can't wait, hardcore sandbox MMO with player freedom remind me of the good ole days of UO, bring on Salem Online!!!

  • @Lawsy08 man in UO they kill each other for fun. Loads of jackasses run around just to attack each other on sight. This is not something we want to happen in H&H or Salem. Curios why there's no mindless PK raids in H&H? Because there is justice and people don't care to loot your fucking regs and gm hally... This is why I am looking foward for Salem..it will be much more community based than nearly any other MMO around there..

  • Jorb: "...and there's no kinda grindy content that you have to go through before you can do this or that..." HOPE IT'S TRUE!

    but even if it's not..looking forward for Salem!!!

  • @wisedevil05

    Oh i undestand now, the curiosity system came from salem ! 

  • I hope they will really make freedom by removing terrible grinding part which H&H has. Why should I grind 100k lps to do something simple when I can spend this time by doing something fun!

  • To be honest, although I look forward to this, having Haven and Hearth to play is plenty. Haven and Hearth may well be the greatest video game ever created.....

  • I am a big fan of Jorb(The guy they are interviewing) Indie MMO(Haven And Hearth)

    And I am looking forward to this game(Haven and Hearth = 2D Salem)

  • Graphics, graphics graphics... when are people going to learn graphics dosent meant shit if the game lacks good elements, its just eye candy then. a game could be the coolesting looking game ever, but be boring as hell.

    while another game could look like ass but be so fun you lose track of time for hours because of the gameplay elements are fun and not just "pretty"

  • Will follow this with much interest. I hope they (seatribe) have a better sense of what they are doing than Starvault (creators of Mortal Online) - At least they seem to have their inspiration spot on ( <3 h.p lovecraft and poe).

    Also..dude, your eye..YOUR EYE! *twitch*

  • Game sounds amazing.

  • SWWEEEDISSSSS

  • Haven and Hearth goes 3D

  • H&H H&H H&H H&H H&H H&H H&H H&H

  • Also, tracking part in H & H also sux..it makes it impossible to get away with crimes... NO, I dont mean you should be able to grieff. What I think there should be towns and wide politics system in so that players could regulate security in regions like sending troops or guards to patrol the territory if serial killer is working there etc. But since this game will have no townes or castles, which sux btw, there will be complete anarchy..wiuch isnt bad at some point but may be overpowered

  • @wisedevil05 intelligence and stealth is the only thing i gotta say on this.

  • Salem sounds great, however I HOPE they will bypass some of things Heaven and Hearth has.

    I have to describe it in a big article but since I cant do it here.. H&H is great, but I cant play it because of the number of reasons, such as you can only do something if you have skill and you can only get skill after you get enough skill points, that sux. Training part should be much more wide, such as you could onyl gain rhetoric if you read specific book etc etc.

    I like what he said about freedom

  • Love the idea of permadeath. Its a shame I think dragons and shit is lame.

  • I thought it would have graphics like Age of Conan er something but this is really horrible...

  • the real world do have griefers of their own...just that we usually have a system taking care of it for us, so we don't have to actively care, in a game on the other hand it's up to the players that does not want griefing to establish this system. Of course, Hobbes theory of human fear of other humans powers, and preemptied attacks, would become mayor factors here :D looking forward to it!

  • @Firefoxnox It sucks to be you dude. Look who is talking, fucking get in front of a camera and spit some words, then maybe you will deserve some respect from him.

  • Where can i find trailer and pictures of this game? 

  • I'll bet that this game is going to do that a lot of geeky gamers will start to cry.

    And that many assholes are just gonna go around killing at random.

  • "Nothing is forced upon you."

    Um yeah, about that. Wasn't he just saying that if you die, you stay dead? That means that starting over is forced upon you.

  • 2d pwns 3d

  • meh i dunno haven and hearth will always be better, i can see them doing something stupid with this game like add in a shop 

  • Expect a release at....?

  • the combat in haven and hearth sucks ass horribly. the combat in this had better be good.

  • holy shit thats jorb ? 

  • Kudos to Seatribe for creating the ultimate sandbox that is realistic. Just give players all the tools they need to make it fun.

  • To anyone that says this is a copy of Minecraft... Fuck you.

    To anyone who says this game won't work because of griefers... Fuck you.

    To anyone else who is a complete fucking idiot... Fuck you.

    Haven & Hearth is a perfect game. Salem might top that.

  • @resture Haven & Hearth is not a perfect game at all, Griefers out the ass, a Perfect game whould have some type of anti-grief system, but nope.

  • @mrmaxell222 Haven and Hearth was developed to simulate life economics, politics, social relations, and many elements from real life. So implementing an anti-griefer system would be counter-productive to their goal; griefers in H&H are essentially the vikings of Ye Olde Europe.

  • @resture

    +1

  • @resture If anyone can pull it off, it's these guys. I can't wait.

  • In b4 the Goons take control of 60% of the ingame resources

  • One of the main problems with this kind of game that everybody just seems to ignore is the issue of meta-gaming Players will generally know things that his character would not which allows the player to make the character behave in ways that ruin any sense of realism in the world.

    For example if someone kills a character, in reality it should actually be fairly complicated to locate the culprit. But the player can just tell his friends who killed him. No need to investigate. Instant man hunt.

  • @Kosmite Assuming that they follow H&H gameplay, you do not know anyone's name until you "kin" them, aka friend them. This means that all players are named ??? to one another at the start. You can "memorize" someone's face, but you must assign your own nickname to them, such as "The guy who stole my bread". Next time you see him, you'll know who he is, but if he kills you, you can't relay that info to anyone, because your characters memories are gone.

  • @hcjarrodp but if youre killed they leave a scent, which can be tracked as far as I know

  • long live JORB!!!

    Can't wait to try Salem.

    Good to know development of Haven and Hearth will still continue :)

  • The minges from Garrys-mod will play this and raise a army to kill every single living player....

  • Gameplay!

  • Lookup The Secret world instead it covers all of this mostly except permanent death wich sucks in mmos.

  • nb4 clipping issues

  • It looks really interesting. I'm always up for an original game, especially if it's an original mmo.

    I just hope mechanics will work well.

  • @MadeinHell2 go play Haven and Hearth. this game is based of Haven and Hearth, the makers of Haven and Hearth are working on this game. nearly 100% the same just one is 2d and one is 3d ;D

  • oooo... makers of Haven and Hearth are making a new game :)

  • I love the concept.. but that if one were disconnect when fighting someone, a weaker player etc.?

  • Wow. I totally had an idea just like this, like, a year ago.

    No respawn: Check

    Absolute freedom: Check

    Affectable environment: Check

    Not that I'm saying they stole my idea. Just a weird coincedence. Or maybe this was a concept developers were playing with for a while that they were plain unable to create until today because of technological restrictions. Glad I didn't patent this idea, or else I may never actually be able to play it! Good luck, guys! I'll think up a Space MMO instead, maybe.

  • 3 viewers had justice thrust upon them.

  • Free-for-all PvP is bad enough, but combined with permadeath? T'Hell with that garbage.

  • @ogrejd You pussy. Go and play WoW.

  • @TheDaki75 aw yeah. you're so badass for playing a different game! in truth, you're a loser

  • @scullyy didnt say I was badass for playing a different game. I said that the guy was scared cuz of the full loot perma death thing.

  • @TheDaki75 its a game. so i doubt he's scared of anything in it. maybe he just doesnt like perma death

  • @scullyy cuz he is scared of dying.

  • go play haven and hearth and try trolling there

  • When will this be released

  • Whats wrong with his eye

  • @B1aDK

    He is Swedish, thats wats wrong

    

  • So, what if you disconnect in the middle of a fight? Or your computer freezes?

  • @Fucksvensker Your character will stay in game. Like in Haven & Hearth :D

  • @Fucksvensker You lose "consciousness" or personal control. This idea is simplistically brilliant!

  • The trolls shall inherit this game.

  • He is so sweet :*

  • Looks good cant wait for more footage.

  • um... alpha footage.. not what i imagined tbh..

    watch?v=DQiSnq9Xo3s

  • Any name for the music in background?

  • Omg, I can tell by the comments that none of you have played Haven and Hearth. Greifers won't stand a chance, it's a balance between good and evil and the victims can always get their revenge. Wow, Paradox is a great company, well done Jorb. Now we know what you look like, hahahaha. Does that mean Haven is going to become vapourware? Lolololol. This sounds like it'll be a very interesting game, Salem ftw.

  • BURN THE WITCHES

  • this game is going to be amazing!

  • Sounds amazing.

  • Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

  • So, this guy here thinks it will be fun to hunt down people who destroy your stuff? Lets say you log in, your farm is a massive pile of rubble. Theres nothing more, no vengance or whatever hes talking about. You dont even know who did it, we get this all the time on Minecraft multiplayer.

  • @TEHROFLKINFE When someone performs criminal activities, they leave scents, which will allow you to track down the people griefing, and dispatch them.

  • Sounds like Minecraft you fucking thieves.

  • @Visualundeath Oh, you.

  • @Visualundeath Sounds like you read Kotaku and decided to be a complete tool.

  • @jkejke sounds like you have dady issues

  • @Visualundeath lol so minecraft makes a freeform game and now no one else is allowed to funny stuff grow up

  • @anonymousdev1l Don't mind anonymousdev1l guys, he doesn't get the joke.

  • @Visualundeath You should stop commenting now, you're making a fool of yourself.

  • @jkejke Sounds like you need to go to a councillor and get your head examine.

  • Holyfuckingshit.

    DO WANT.

  • I WANT IT NOW

  • Sold.

  • An alright idea, but unless they put measures in to stop griefing, which will probably be impossible, it will never get good execution.

  • HOLY SHIT

    HOLY FUCKING

    ARGH I WANT THIS NOW I LOVE YOU

  • mother of jesus

  • Spongebob with his wallet open.jpg

  • The concept is very intriguing, I do regret it not being 2D (like in H&H) =(

  • Ale brzydal, niespodziewałem się że tak wygląda twórca HH, łapką w góre kto też tak uważą.

  • Griefers will find a way to ruin this for legitimate players.

  • I am soooo going to PK everyone... I hope there is no status messages so you could sneak and kill people nobody knows it was you! Before you say that's fucked up think of assassins creed etc, only with real people. Make a guild of scavengers, steal someones 5 months old city, endless possibility.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't know what's scarier? The game concept, or Bjorn himself. Seriously. The man's brain is broken. Twitching, can't look at the camera very long, fidget-squirm-twitch, and that eye spasm. Not someone I'd care to meet by surprise. >O.O<

  • His eye annoys the shit out of me

  • This game just looks...amazing. I want to start an Assassin's guild for those who just need someone killed. It will probably be a moral assassin's guild, and employ Magic and whatever else is needed to kill our targets. Or some kind of a group along those lines. Probably make a little Assassin's settlement. Something like that.

  • 0:37 any game that lets be be ERECT in an open and free world sells me forever!!! Im sold!!!!!

  • Yes that is jorb.

  • Wait, wut?

    Jorb? D:

  • Oh boy, permanent death. I can't wait for some 14 yr old fag to come and shank the shit out of my character.

    On the other hand I always wanted to be a murderer. :3

  • @Blacksnyder It's not combat oriented, so that's not likely. The point of the game is to form communities

  • Sounds sweet. I doubt it'll be heavily griefed, either, when you consider that griefers are going to get killed a lot, and come back with just stones as weapons, whereas people who have worked (or fought) their way up to the top can easily wipe them out.

    And trolling at that much of a powerful level means you'll lose a load of shit when you die.

    Christ, this game's sounding like a *good* version of Minecraft.

  • @Th3Laugh1ngMan

    Look up Haven and Hearth and play it.

  • TAKE MY MONEY

  • spongebobwallet.jpg

  • @vey2go you're breaking rules 1 and 2, your prententious newfag.

  • @Imerjensi wrong board dumb fuck.

  • @Imerjensi

    As well as lordace777 said, you also are obviously new to /b/, as 1 and 2 only apply during raids... Newfag...

    (I feel dirty mentioning /b/ and using that term)

  • @vey2go underageb& gtfo.

  • A wizard calls you wicked retarded. What do you do?

  • HAVEN AND HEARTH 2.0 YEAH

  • not interested in GRIEFING: The Game

  • i noticed a lazy eye and couldn't not focus on it...game sounds good though

  • ohhhhhhhhhhhh god i want to play you now

  • spongbobholdingwallet.jpg

  • perkele: the mmo

  • OH BOY ANOTHER MMO LIKE DARK FALL MORTAL ONLINE THATLL BE DEAD BEFORE EVEN RELEASING

  • @Jackalofdeath

    This one is free to play so it has a better chance. Nobody wants to pay $50 before they can even try the game out (I'm looking at you Darkfall) and then be griefed by players the entire time.

    If Salem is anything like Haven and Hearth (made by the same developers) combat won't be a focus in the game, but rather a tool and it doesn't come into play until much later in the game.

  • I wonder how long until they change their minds about perma death, before launch or after the game is dead. After all, once the game dies, in the real world, its perma death. No second chances....think on it paradox :)

  • @genoism

    Stop being a pussy, it's free to play and isn't a "hurr durr I need to kill things" style mmorpg. It's focused on the community and city building aspects. You shouldn't be dying much. As well, they said they're essentially removing the grind aspect of most mmorpg, so it's not like you have to work very hard to get back to where you were. If you're part of a group, you can go right back to them when you make your new character. The point of perma-death is so you don't act frivolously.

  • i wonder how long until they remove perma death. Before launch or after the game is dead.

  • TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY

  • TAKE ALL MY FUCKING MONEY, I JUST CAME

  • one death gameplay? Why would that EVER be good?

  • @Tanikaze2

    The point is to reduce frivolous killing. The game is not focused around PVP. It's to keep out retards who just want to kill people (and will inevitably get killed, cry, then quit the game)

  • I'M SHIPPING OUT TO BOSTON

  • @meagherboy

    *whoa oh oh*

  • I WANT A BETER MOUNT ANDMOUNT AND BLADE KITS THERE BEST GAME

  • Player justice will moderate griefing, it works very well in H&H, whenever you commit a crime you leave a scent which can be used to track you. And another way is to build a wall around your settlement.

    PS: ALL HAIL JORB!

  • Join game

    Insta-Join Greifer-Killer Guild

    Go around killing Trolls and Griefers all day long, they cant fight back due to massive numbers.

    Game is saved, our guild is a legend.

  • "This is the game I've always wanted!

    Now let's grief everyone all day every day so that no new players will want to join and quickly kill the game off!"

    These games require a sense of community, but tend to attract a crowd of people that would rather ruin the game for people. I'm hoping there will be a lot of people who actually want to start communities and band together against these griefers.

  • @heartdaplague

    ever tried havenandheart (same developers, btw)? it works pretty fine

  • @GL4408

    Haven and Hearth isn't nearly as publicised as this is (and it's barely in production, so it will just get crazier) and its graphics don't appeal to people who just want to grief. I'm hoping it will work and the perma-death aspect will keep out most of the people who just want to run around murdering people. If they implement something like the scent trails from H&H it will be fine, because murderers really have no chance.

  • *cough* havenandhearth*cough*

    jorb, h&h beta? :P

  • That guy, he... He looks like someone who would come up with a game like that, if you know what I mean here.

  • Comment removed

  • TAKE MY MONEY, ALL OF IT.

  • @Darkfirelol1019 lol the game is free!! lmao!!

  • sounds very interesting, intense pvp with real stakes.

  • Yo homie, please get your eye checked out, I think its about to permanently die on you. No eye replacement though, you just have to leave the socket and empty void

  • grief grief grief ...

  • This guy freaks my out with his left eye. This game sounds cool but the griefing will have to be moderated

  • COOOOOOOL! :D

  • I'm not really into MMORPGs but this sounds so awesome!

  • Permanent death? Let the griefing begin =D

  • @muffinman816 I imagine it's this kind of mentality, and the trolls in general, that'll absolutely ruin this game
