I just finished playing V5.4.1.1 released by GOG several months ago. I believe it reflects some of the changes we can expect in the final version. The version wasn't free of graphic bugs involving lightings, but the pace was smooth and some of the dialogue has be streamlined. I didn't feel I missed anything from the previous version.

 

For more noticeable changes:  the rendering for Storytime was with exceptionally soft focus, beginning with the point of focus and increasing with more distant objects. I had "Depth of Field" turned off. I assume it was to enhance the dream-like atmosphere. The soft focus continued into Friars' Keep with the Point of focus sharp, but the back ground soft. Daytime Propast in Book 1 was literally night with bright lights everywhere. The experience was "neon lights and darkness". Light bots were everywhere.

 

I wasn't able to arrange a meeting between Ada and Sully. I think that  that optional dialogue between Zoe and Sully has been eliminated.

3 female actresses, which could be anywhere from 3 to maybe 12 characters. And this does sound to me like it's probably the other Birthrights, plus maybe other promised stretch-goals: Emma, a narrator for books, and (long-shot) Madame Nyx.

I don't know if this tells us anything about timing. It makes me suspect that recording might be scheduled for July, when RTG has traditionally taken their summer break.

At any rate, I would guess that we'll get a formal update of some sort in late June, prior to their vacation.

 

I agree that these are probably (hopefully) who the voices are. But watch them just add completely new characters they never promised while still ignoring these ones.

 

Ragnar said a release announcement would come shortly (a few weeks ago). If they're not even going to record until after their break...then the update probably won't even be this year.

Now what we need is KS Update #106 ASAP.

"We'll be back with more info later in June"?

You're welcome!

Now I'm just wondering.. well, a lot. I want to know a lot of things.

This is the issue when RTG don't update us before other people reveal things. :/

The one year anniversary of Book Five is tomorrow, and still we've heard nothing. I think I'm going to go crazy...

I have only backed four projects on Kickstarter, and of those, only this one isn't yet completed, as far as I know. I backed at least four via Paypal directly to the developers and got tons of updates about every little thing. Unlike some other Paypal backers.   

 

Will I fund another Kickstarter, or directly throw money at another developer? I'm not so sure, but never say never, right?

Everyone is waiting, let's be patient. Being angry won't make it easier.
