Omega good job NI !!

UPDATE!

Finally a big update thanks to the latest spotlight and all the questions that came after.
Changed some catagories and split Races and Planets up. Also, to clear the catagories up a bit, I have created subcatagories within the main catagories.

---

3. RACES & RELIGION:

• There will be female versions of beastmen (beastwomen?).

---

6. EMPIRE-BUILDING:

• Marketplaces are local, more on cities and housing here.

---

7. COMBAT AND KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM:

• There won't be better and lesser versions of abilities.
• More information about abilities and progression.
• Even though the video about Necromancy didn't show it, you'll need corpses to reanimate them.
• Conjuration can set marks but teleporting will be limited.
• You can't combine abilities to create new ones.
• You can't use conjuration to actually summon an object from a different part of the world.
• Raising corpses won't interfere with looting.
• Reanimating a Beastman, Human or Demon isn't necessarily the same thing as raising a monster.
• "With the help of stat boosts given by talents and sacrificing some others, you can go high on 3 stats at the same time."
• You can pick more abilities than the hotbar can hold with high INT, but not use them in combat at the same time.

---

8. CRAFTING, EQUIPMENT AND ECONOMY:

• It's possible to play as a crafter-only character.
• "The process of learning crafting recipes is close to ability learning"

---

9. LORE AND ROLE-PLAYING:

• Lawful/ Neutral/ Chaotic is a personal choice to signal your attitude to other players and role-play, it's not planned for it to have actual consequences in the game.

---

10. GUILDS:

• No guild quests planned as of today.

---

14. MISCELLANEOUS:

• The dev team doesn't need money for coffee and pizza.

---

Just wonder what for we are making our hero's and guild names on the website if this isnt a way to reserve them for the game, just to make fooly games with us? bad idea.

@Vengu a question I asked on discord that hadn't been asked before or answered, is that yes, there will definitely be an in game chat system. Secondary, they will not have a translator embedded in the app, and third, it has been asked but not answered if the chat will allow either copy and paste capability, or link to items as some chats have.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll add it in the next update.

Great info! Getting more hyped for this game

[OldDreamer]

@vengu Nothing about what view it will be? I've seen a couple statements indicating that it will be Isometric view, in spite of all the wonderful immersive-looking art they have here. I'll be very disappointed if it's a game of playing with little figures from a bird's-eye view.

UPDATE!

Important update
Prometheus has informed me that some of the information is incorrect or oudated. As Prometheus informed me about these changes through a pm, you'll just have to take my word for it. The following things have changed:

• The development of Fractured started January 2017.
  Has been changed to:
• The project started in January 2017, but development of alpha 1 started in August.

OUTDATED INFO:
Instead of deleting this information, I shall use strikethrough to make clear to everyone else that this information is now incorrect.

• We haven't planned to distribute game keys directly in The Foundation so far, but it's something we're going to discuss in the future.

• It's unlikely you'll be able to obtain game access through the Foundation.
  With the distribution of the pre-alpha key, these 2 links are no longer accurate.

• There will be divine schools of magic.
  outdated info.

• Fractured can be played on Windows XP apparently.
  Aint going to happen anymore, outdated info.

Also I have taken the opportunity to add a few more answers to the list:

---

6. EMPIRE-BUILDING:

• Buildings owned by players are protected in general, except for city conquests.

---

8. CRAFTING, EQUIPMENT AND ECONOMY:

• We'll have spears and some other poleweapons.
• Leather armor and gambesons will likely fall under a different catagory.
• No race-based limitation on crafting, all races can craft all racial armor if they manage to obtain the recipes.

---

13. GRAPHICS AND ART:

• Current heavy armor has a gambeson.

---

14. MISCELLANEOUS:

• Fractured will have an ingame chat.
