Having achieved its £25,000 goal in just three hours

Yeah, that's not what it costs to create that game. They openly communicate that in the description, fair enough, but the headline not giving that context makes it sound like much more than it actually is.

Oh yuck.

Just a FYI, the turds at Longdue making "Hopetown" are suing Argo Tuulik one of the lead writers for the OG Disco Elysium in some lame effort to snuff out any competition from Argo's own project.

Luckily the community has really rallied behind him so things are looking up. Still I wouldn't give Longdue/Riaz Moola/Hopetown (ugh what kind of hack came up with that name?) any more positive press because they sure as hell don't deserve it :o

Tuulik is more than a lead writer, he is one of the co-creators of the setting as one of the players of the original Elysium tabletop sessions alongside Martin Luiga (with Robert Kurvitz being the DM).

Which one of the four spiritual successors is this one now?
