Always wanted to ask.
Why the Golden Toad? Is there some meaning behind it?
It's a meme from Kingmaker times. A mundane trash item depicting a golden toad statue was incorrectly tagged as a quest item. The players kept looking for a place to use it, worried that they missed a quest, asking questions on the forums. Eventually discussions grew into conspiracy theories about cut content and trolling from people who claimed they knew what it was for, but would never tell.
It was so memetic that we decided to keep it, and now every our game has that item in some form.
Update: Check Owlcat representative response below. The article I had linked was misinformation. Owlcat do not have the rights back.
Original comment: It sounds like they might have gotten them back actually? The publisher took the rights a few years back: https://www.dualshockers.com/owlcat-pathfinder-kingmaker-rights/
We haven't, unfortunately. That article is spreading outright disinformation.
In a recent discussion with a content creator, do I remember correctly you said a Kingmaker remaster is actually possible?
In some hypothetical future where we get the rights back, it isn't out of the field of possibility. No indication of this happening anywhere soon/at all for now though, I'm afraid.
Btw, I want to express my sincere thanks to the entire Owlcat team and to you Starrok in particular. The effort you put into your games, the respect you show your customers and the mature outlook you present makes me happy and validates my support for your games.
Keep making wonderful games and bringing joy into my and other people's lives!
Sincere thanks to you guys for the endless support and enthusiasm. Means everything to us!
...when a bug becomes a feature
There's literally been a few times where we looked at the players using some exploit we never intended, and went... "Well, okay, guess that's a feature now".
I don't know if you guys read all the comments but seriously, i love Owlcat, i randomly decided to play Kingmaker as one of the many games i got on Epic (most i never touched) and ended up loving it to hell, now everything you guys release i'm buying, i don't remember the last time i bought something on release before the Rogue Trader DLC, you guys are awesome, keep on doing great stuff
