Trapezium Dave posted:How solid is Rimworld in pre-alpha? I was holding off backing this right now because it was already way over funding and asking for a fair bit for the alpha, but if it's very playable now I may reconsider. Base-builder sims are awesome and I'm curious about the storyteller AI. I mean it seems perfectly playable right now, there are a ton of videos on youtube about it (including goon illectro/Scutt Munley) and those are from before this build, and they're solid as is. I only played for a couple of hours, but didn't run into anything bothersome. There's some stuff that's currently not implemented (Traits are the big one), but it's already definitely a game, and a good one at that.

Well Owlchemy Labs already have a bunch of game out, including Snuggle/Smuggle Truck. Personally I'm reminded a bit of a 2-d Psychonauts, what with the strange skin colours and body proportions.

Dropsy is almost ~112% funded. Woo! Just posted a pretty meaty update on the Dreamworld, and things are progressing nicely. It looks like we'll hit the composer stretch goal for sure. The others are still up in the air. I've had a ton of emails and messages asking for plushies, but not enough to justify making them. While I'd love to offer them as a reward, I can't squeeze it financially at all. At least from the quotes I've received. Does anyone here have experience with cost-effective short run toys/plush stuff?

Zaphod42 posted:3D Dot Game wasn't even the first, You sure those are older than 3D Dot Heroes? In Japan, it came out in late 2009. Besides, the comparison is all the more apt because Dot Heroes was an explicit old school Zelda rip off (like this is trying to be), whereas Cube World is a pretty different thing.

Stasis just cracked the top 10 on Kicktraq. Also it was mentioned in the latest Torment update which should definitely help increase awareness.

It just needs a lot more stuff to do still, especially research.

Guido Henkel who produced the realms of Arkania games and Planescape Torment and failed miserably last year with an attempted kickstarter is back with a new project: Deathfire: Ruins of Nethermore. If nothing else I give him credit for actually putting a lot more work into this one, it's much clearer what kind of game it's trying to be, what it's going to look like, etc.

Hey guys I just launched my kickstarter fort game, Interstellaria http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coldricegames/interstellaria It's a Starflight inspired space game using FTL like mechanics. I've been developing this game through the making games megathread so you can check my progress there. I'm really excited and super nervous :/

Coldrice posted:Hey guys I just launched my kickstarter fort game, Interstellaria Welcome to excitement, adventure, and high stress! I am going to follow your progress and root for your great success right after this: Jesus Dillweed Christ another game with the god drat skinny legs. There have to be other art styles out there somewhere, if We As A Community push ourselves I know we'll discover them. While still mourning the tragic deaths of the bold adventurers who tried (and failed) to make 2px wide legs, we have to honor their legacy by pressing on to the future. That out of the way: yes, I would love to play this game! You've got my donation just out of faith and goondom, but do tell, how are you going to stretch 15k across the next year to make this game? Also: Chipzel is the lady who did the music for Super Hexagon, right? Awesome.

Honestly, the game sounds like it could be fun but the way the whole thing's been presented feel slightly hokey the whole way through, I'm not putting my money down for it.

I have a full time job and money saved up, I'll be switching to part time.100% of the money is for the game, I get paid when it's done. I just really want to make something cool :/ And yes chipzel is from super hexagon. She's really cool too! Very friendly and easy to work wit. As for demo, I might release it to goons for free maybe. I release builds on twitter all the time, but after today no more

Devils Affricate posted:It's really starting to look like Obduction isn't going to make its initial funding goal, never mind the Oculus Rift silliness (Rift support would be cool, but why does it apparently take an extra $200k?). It really sucks to see this game fall short, and I can't help but think it has something to do with their pledge structure. $25 for the full game is rather low, considering how they're promising a full title on par with the legendary Myst and Riven. Conversely, the almost twofold $45 pledge level offers almost nothing substantial extra; just digital images and sound files. In order to get a boxed copy of the game, you need to pay $75, which is probably more than most gamers are willing to spend on a single title. I can't help but think that if they had organized things a bit differently, they'd have a much better shot at meeting their $1.1M goal. They've gone a smidge over 800k at this point with 9 days to go and added a tier that will send you a copy of Strata in order for you to create and render an item in the game, which has drawn a few more people into it. I think they're reach the goal.

Coldrice posted:Hey guys I just launched my kickstarter fort game, Interstellaria Dude, really nice work! I've been following your progress in the... game development thread? pixel art thread? both? whatever. I've seen it before and its totally rad. And props for having a well put together kickstarter! Seriously, that's slick. You've got art everywhere, everything's got a great layout and is very visually pleasing, and it describes the game well. And your video is pretty slick too. I think you're going places.

Honestly I hope you make enough money of the KS to defray some of your costs of living, just because that sort of breathing room is excellent for home game development.

The Wasteland 1 rerelease has gone gold and all Wasteland 2 backers will be able to claim either a GOG or Steam key once it's approved by the store. Not quite as exciting as 2 going into Beta, but still cool.

The design of your KS is pretty good, you just need to draw eyes to it.
