Drifter posted:So it doesn't pause, but slows down time significantly in order to issue orders? That is more like a Game of Thrones RPG mechanic than Max Payne, but yeah. It's really cool and adds to the challenge to keep the game moving, so you still have to sweat a bit and not have an eternity to decide what to do. Sorry for the confusion, the action stops immediately, it does not slow down like in Max Payne.

Obduction's first stretch goal is... Oculus Rift support. Headsets are cool and all but I really don't get this. I can't see most funders upping their pledge unless they have a Rift or plan on getting one. EDIT: They also appear to be adding localization for the Euros, and allowing the subtitles to be "open source" so others can go translate them into other languages. Memories of bad anime fan dubs come rushing back to me. monster on a stick fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Oct 28, 2013 |

Why would you make a modern Myst game and NOT target the Rift? Most games have issues adapting to Rift, but Myst is the. perfect. rift. game. They just made it a stretch goal because  The real stretch goal is language support, which is nice and should hopefully bring in some international backers, smart. Opening up their audience.Both of those are pretty underwhelming though.

Every character is uniquely animated, complete with all movement directions, death/injury/sickness animations and all weapons in hands. So far it is not possible to customize given character's appearance due to info above, but we are planning on adding that feature as one of our stretch goals. The dude with the vest is named Cooper.

Well, the ROAM guy has issued an apology for misunderstanding the situation and handling it badly.mpashanin posted:Every character is uniquely animated, complete with all movement directions, death/injury/sickness animations and all weapons in hands. What about palette-level customisation for hair/skin/clothing colour? That said, it's certainly understandable why it'd be limited given your detail levels.

epitasis posted:There aren't any damages. Hence "close." But it might could be argued that the original posts could sway people away from buying How to Survive, believing it to be a cheap ripoff of someone else's work and not wanting to let them benefit financially from it. It's kind of stretch, though, so I doubt 505 Games will be interested in pursuing any legal action, they'll probably just accept the apology and leave it at that.

We have completed the entire demo with 31 animated characters in just 4 months. One character that moves/shoots/dies in 12 directions takes just 3 days to animate. We are more concerned with making everything work together well and not look like something that was generated via 3D engine. Hand made is our motto

We will address that question publicly, but we will NOT postpone the release date because of stretch goals or added features. All extra money will go towards hiring help. We are not naive and there might be delays regardless, but we will make sure that stretch goals are not the reason.

Warning: Shameless self promotion- I'm attempting to kickstart a game called Planet Burn The idea is that it'll be a first person 3d adventure/sandbox game where you crash land on a junkyard planet and you have to find a way to survive. TLDR: Build stuff (Guns!) out of EVERYTHING. And I don't really have much to show for it yet, but it's in the works. Here's a link to the kickstarter page- http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/328777376/planet-burn-alpha

Well as you say, you don't have much to show. You appear to have no video unless my browser is acting up, no tech demo, no concept art of how the game would look. Nothing for me as a backer to have a reason to back you other than a promise you're going to make something cool

Yeah dude you really need to have something to show. Right now I see a few kinda bad SketchUp renders and promises but nothing to really back it up. This is your first project and you're already planning a multiplayer do anything build anything 3D survival action adventure game with loot and merging planets and such? Do you realize how massive of an undertaking a project even a tenth of that scale is? I mean don't get me wrong it's a neat idea but that's all it is right now and for a Kickstarter to succeed (especially for someone not established) it needs to be a hell of a lot more than that. Also what does someone even get out of the Kickstarter succeeding? You're only shooting for an alpha and then...?

"I've never made a game before but I'm going to make a game that's better than 3 AAA games put together, on a budget of $2K" loving  Even on a budget of $2M you'd end up with a lovely tech demo that wouldn't be more fun than just playing Minecraft and Borderlands seperately.You don't even have a video?

Drifter posted:The two thousand is just for an alpha slice, to be fair. And that's all it'll ever be, and nobody wants that.  Seriously $20 for an alpha?! Are you high!? That's beyond absurd. The only game on the planet I'd pay anywhere near $20 for a loving alpha is half-life 3, just so I could post spoilers on the internet. Alphas are worth nothing, maybe $5 at most as part of a big Humble Bundle of multiple alphas, and its mostly about raising money for charity anyways. You're not charity, sorry. Nobody's gonna just give you money for poo poo. You need a product. Odds are your final game wouldn't even be worth $20. I buy games on Steam on sale for $5-$20 regularly. Full, polished, AAA games. quote:Estimated delivery: May 2014 I'm loving dying over here.

Rimworld by Tynan Sylvester is 3 days from the end of the Kickstarter, and has accumulated a staggering $192,000 CAD; the initial goal was $20,000 CAD, so he's been backed almost 10x more than he was looking for. He's been busy at work making updates and changes based on the feedback of early testers and others, and shares this at the end of his most recent update:quote:Not many people have played this one yet, but there are already fun stories appearing. One fellow got attacked by snipers and withdrew inside his base to confront them at close range. One of his colonists used Molotov cocktails indoors, igniting the base and one of the snipers. The sniper ran burning down a hallway into a nearby room containing three unarmed non-combat colonists, who proceeded to beat him to death.  I can hardly wait to jump in and experience my own unique way of seeing my colonists murdered by hostile wildlife or starving to death in some horrific space storm.
