Official Bard's Tale IV demo footage and a NEW Game coming!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 1JizDrqa24
Here is what Rebecca Heinaman said:
Seth: its from the origin systems archives
Rebecca: Yep, I remember that.
Wow, that was a long time ago
Seth: What's the story there?
Rebecca: We did a prototype, threw it together, and went to EA to see if they were interested. They were not
So the project died.
Seth:Very interesting!
That's too bad
Rebecca: There was no real story or anything. It was really rough. Just a concept. It was really seeing if EA would even be interested in a game in the series.
Since EA wasn't interested, it petered out
Seth: bummer
Rebecca: Yeah, and that prototype was tossed out. It's dated anyways and for The Rip, it wouldn't look like that anyways
Seth: I'm going to post the clip in the bard's tale forums, do you mind if I quote what you said about the demo?
Rebecca: Sure. It's so long ago. I remember we made a castle and shadowing, and some concepts.
This video, I don't remember. Which is odd.
Seth:what year? 1998
Rebecca:
1998-2000
It was when we were pitching game ideas for Logicware (1998).
Then contraband in 1999
However, at the time, Interplay was still around, and I don't remember if they would have been involved. If I recall correctly, Interplay wasn't part of the project
It was EA and I. But, then again, I now know that EA was working on their own Bard's Tale IV
which looked NOTHING like that video
Seth:right, but the video is from your demo correct?
Seth:EA and Janelle's bt4 demo was totally different, more like the traditional bt format?
Rebecca: Correct, it was more traditional.
To be honest, I don't remember the demo anymore.
I remember we did an outside castle, and a walk through
I don't remember a female warrior.
For one, I'd never approve of her chest to be as big as that.
I'm wondering if one of the guys did that on their own and leaked it later
I remember having a paladin running around.
Seth: But the video is definitely from the game engine/demo you built and presented to EA, correct?
Rebecca: I would say so. However, please leak that "Olde Skuul" is planning a spiritual successor to Bard's Tale III and is preparing a kickstarter. I'd love to see if there is real excitement behind it

Bard's Tale III spiritual successor
Interested? How many of you would contribute to a kickstarter? What if the game was programmed by Rebecca Heineman (Programmer Bard's Tale III), designed by Jennell Jaquays (Bard's Tale IV from EA), Susan Manley (SSI Gold Box), Maurine Starkey (Westwood Studios), theme by Kurt Heiden (Bard's Tale III), soundtrack by 8-Bit weapon (Pure awesome), and other guest designers that will be announced during the kickstarter?
Re: Bard's Tale III spiritual successor
I'd be interested. Do you need additional programming help? I'd love to port it to linux if you're interested. I've been programming my own implementation of the Bard's Tale Construction Set and worked on Devil's Wiskey.burgerbecky wrote:Interested? How many of you would contribute to a kickstarter?
