Waxworks: Curse of the Ancestors

Gory death scenes removed? Elvira I/II remake?
I played this on the amiga years ago, loved horrorsoft games despite being on the more difficult side. Have the death scenes been removed, they were generally static not animated and I see this remake is running on the unreal engine.

Any rumor on Elvira, Elvira II, or Personal Nightmare remakes?

Hi, the gory scenes haven't been removed, they are still under development. Went2Play told us that this is a subject which is still under discussion and will be added later in game.
If there's enough interest in these classic remakes, who knows...it's a matter of money after all. If it sells, there sure will be more ;-)

I found the original funding project yesterday after posting. Went2Play doesn't even exist on their platform anymore. I'm not sure what to make of this right now, the point and click interface is what made those old horrorsoft games fun.

Yeah, Waxworks started with a Kickstarter campaign, which didn't succeed unfortunately, but yet still here it is :-) There's a nice comparision video by Tekknological: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF-P6VEdzZA It's not the most actual version, but you get a good glimpse. Point and Click is still present in the remake (dialogue options, item combination and placement) but it's a 3d adventure/rpg/hack'n slash after all. I think you should wait for full release or a more advanced version and then test it. Can't go wrong for the price.

I don't mess with early access games. Too many devs see the money coming in and abandon their project. To buy it now would be like investing in a project that may never get finished. Sure it puts money in someone else's pocket but it doesn't buy me a finished game.

I don't buy things which don't exist, and you probably wouldn't buy 15% of a vehicle to drive around, or 10% of a house to live in.

I know what you mean, but at this moment any project is doomed to die.
a bank won't lend you money to buy a house when you haven't finished it,
investors will do nothing for the new companies because they are not finished, no microsoft, no apple ...

it's consumerist reasoning that has no reason

the goal for us buyers is to identify games with potential.

Went 2 Play has already shown with monkey island that they go all the way

The consumerist reasoning is invalid for what reason in particular? I buy finished games and I have that hunch this one may never get finished.

Early Access isn't for everyone, that's absolutely comprehensible, as there are enough examples of how not to do it.

But I highly doubt this won't get finished. I'd eat a broom if it gets cancelled! :-D
3 of the 4 levels have been implented, the 4th is in an advanced stage and there will be a bonus level and polishing afterwards.

Why throw away all the work that has been done, shortly before the finish line? Communication with Went2Play is great, feedback is taken serious and we get our weekly hotfixes as promised.

This is a heart project, from fans for fans and I never saw any indication that this won't get finished. But no one wants to convince you in participating, it's your free choice. There's also a refund option if you are not satisfied.

You will get a Waxworks remake in any case, so you may as well wait and buy the full version, when it's done. Cheers!

We will definitely finish this development, you don't have worry about that. If there is a good earnings after full game is released, more content is on the way.
And if somebody prefers stay away from EA versions, there is even less chance the project will be successful or finished.
So, if you trust teams that are spending bunch of money and time on development, you better support them. Then you can expect more projects in future.
