What is odd about this? I guess he really likes the idea of coding a 3d viewer for the world he created.

Nerokerubina posted:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/995085580/bring-divekick-to-pc?ref=live Divekick's kickstarter started! Divekick is a super fun mini-game that is ostensibly a silly fighting game parody but actually manages to create a fun and actually pretty interesting looking 2P versus game. A lot of the humor is extremely fighting-game-community injokey but the game is really (surprisingly) mechanically solid. If this somehow makes the netplay stretch goal I will be ecstatic. Divekick is some kind of elaborate troll right? What the gently caress is going on I don't understand

Yeah, I hope it makes it too (12 hours, $17k from the goal). If this was the state, ahah, of things 12 hours ago, I'd be okay with it. As it is, I'm getting all  over the whole thing.

Quarex posted:I am glad Paper Sorcerer is funded, as it looks like fun, but, uh, seriously, you would think at some point in his pitch video he would mention "so this is basically Wizardry IV: Return of Werdna, but made in 2012." He even acknowledges the Wizardry series as part of the inspiration, but does not ever mention that "formerly imprisoned evil sorcerer seeking revenge, summoning temporary allies from summoning circles as he works his way through the dungeon in which he was imprisoned" is not actually a unique idea (even if it is, indeed, still a good one, having only been done once[?] before). Sent him a message, he said he used Wizardry IV as a big inspiration for the story, but he doesn't want to completely copy it, especially in how it had no really interactive NPC's or towns and it will be more than a single dungeon filled with unreasonable death traps. Invested after this.

Divekick is like the old Atari game Combat. It seems simple, yet will entertain groups of people for hours. Simple games can be really solid and fun. See also: Warlords.

Yeah, I got that email and was a bit in two minds about it. I'm not sure if I like the deception involved. I wish instead he had just posted an update saying he was collaborating with someone to create a 3D API (but the 2D tilset version would still be the default view) and then added some other, reasonable stretch goals with concrete info about what will be added by his 'improving the game' from $25K onwards.

Pretty much my thoughts too. On the one hand people will get what they pledged for, on the other hand some people may see their contribution as being unnecessary.

Star Guarded posted:I'm excited for Dead State but I wish there was a stretch reward to make it come out sooner than December 2013 ... I know that's a reasonable amount of development time, but I'm super impatient Yeah, I feel that too. At least funding them to 300k will enable them to hire four more people for the project. Although Mitsoda basically stated that it won't help them complete the game any faster, what it will do is allow them to add more content to the game and polish the crap out of it. Right now, Mitsoda's probably doing way too much work and putting on 50 different hats, so being able to hire dedicated artists and designers will really help the game out on the whole. 10k left to 300k and 7 hours to go. Here's hoping! Edit: I'm also glad Wasteland 2 happened first and Fargo came out and told people flat-out that development takes a ton of time and he wants the extra time to release in order to really smooth out the game and polish it. I think it's helped a lot of people set reasonable time expectations on Kickstarter games.

I upped my KS from $15 to $21 specifically because of those stretch goals. I hope they get the City. Dogs would be nice but maybe they'll add it as DLC or something. That's the kind of DLC I would actually pay for.

Paper Sorcerer has updated its stretch goals too.Update posted:At $8,000, I'll purchase a license for Unity Pro, thus enabling the game to have custom splash screens [none of the Unity ones], fullscreen rendering, and other extra cool things. The new bonus, is that every pledge $5 or more gets another exclusive desktop wallpaper!

PETS!!!!!!!! I am excited to see that they made it at the last second. The city and the animals were the only stretch goals I really cared about, and I did not think they would make it. I have a new most exciting Kickstarter moment (other than "the entirety of the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter") to share as well as a result; I decided to up my pledge to the "Radio" level since I am interested in game updates and all that nonsense. I got to the Kickstarter, and there were 2 minutes to go. "No problem, just gotta click through to the $21 tier, submit payment, done." YOU MUST PLEDGE AT LEAST $21 "Oh right, haha" (change $15 to $21) ...Processing Amazon payment... THIS CREDIT CARD HAS EXPIRED PLEASE ENTER A NEW CARD OR EXPIRATION DATE "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THERE ARE LIKE 20 SECONDS TO GO" (whip out wallet, drop on floor, frantically dump out all cards, find right one, enter expiration date, payment accepted, Kickstarter instantly ends) ~*fin*~

 I love games with base-building mechanics, and having pets wandering around being useful will add that much more depth to the whole thing. Great to hear that the game's now going to end up with so much extra content.(Now I'm worried that a few of those 5k backers will have their cards declined )

I'm amazed, now that was a finish. Hopefully it isn't too good to be true, I'm a little worried given the circumstances. With the end of the Kickstarter, fundraising for Dead State is over. I've reopened the Dead State thread, it should now be within the forum rules.

Goddamn so many Kickstarter games! I can hardly keep track of it all anymore. There needs to be some kind of Kickstarter Gaming Calendar somewhere that just lists successfully funded projects and projected release dates. I bet there are some projects that are pretty far along by this point, no? Does it just seem like this all started quite a while ago because I'm measuring it in Internet Time, and it's really only been a few months? Jeeeeeez I want these games. Also, really interesting to see more and more games get successfully funded while more and more huge gaming MegaCorp studios get shutdown/massively downsized. Seems like there's at least a few of each every week, last month or so. Tufty posted:Ok everybody. We have just over 20 hours to get Crystal Catacombs another $25K so it has co-op multiplayer. GO! Man, co-op would seriously differentiate that game. I wish I still had money. On another note, drat, a bunch of those enemies are pretty much straight-up ripped out of Metroid. Which I guess would bother me a lot more if it wasn't a $7500 game, and it didn't also include really loving awesome and original looking enemies, too.

Yeah, I suppose there's no real meaningful distinction between Kickstarted indies and non-KS indies. It's either a game worth watching or not. Still, it'd be fun to watch how well games from the KS scene are doing. Anyway thanks for the reminder, I haven't been going to ig.com much lately. Crazy poo poo there every day.

It would be interesting if part of why Ground Branch failed were due to people genuinely thinking it was the same game as Takedown/Hardcore Tactical Shooter (I did not know it was a different project at first, not that I am the target demographic either).Shalinor posted:Just watch IndieGames.com, IndieGameMag.com and TouchArcade.com - almost any funded Kickstarter game mentioned in here would become an indie game of note that indie press would track post-funding.
