khwarezm posted:Hasn't Bard's Tale IV reached its goal though and still has a week to go? Did somebody at IneXile express their disappointment at the amount of money they have received so far? Pillars of Eternity also had a rather modest Kickstarter goal, but we also know that we would have had a much lesser game, if they had only hit minimum funding. Bard's Tale is aiming for some impressive graphics, I can imagine it will be hard to get both that and any kind of impressive game at 1.3 million $

Did you watch the video in Coldrice's previous post? I mean, I get that you don't like the way that the game looks, but it 100% looks like something I might have played on my 386dx-33 in the early 90s. Also, I think I've seen a post like this from one of the threads I lurk in that is fairly relevant. "Art's a pretty self-serving thing. Most of it is not meant for anyone but the artist's own interests" spoiler: that was you

This revenue is invested directly back into the games we’re working on – we will be investing at least a matching $1.25 million should Bard's Tale IV fund. These revenue streams will allow us to improve the quality of Torment and The Bard’s Tale IV, and provides additional security to see the project through to completion.

I forget if this thread does the occasional "mock a lovely project" thing, but I figure what looks like HuniePop by way of the gender-swap visual novel guy is probably worth pointing and laughing. Especially since that last project is still unfinished years later.

God help him if anyone starts emulating the ZX Spectrum in seriousness. "One color? This is just lazy, there are literally tens of colors available!"

Whatever your opinion of Superbrothers is, it's a good example of the fact that Pixel Art has more goal in mind than just 'replicate old consoles'.

Honestly it just reads like an example of how to make the most bare minimum of art and make it work (which honestly Kirby held that one for a long time) Like I dunno I'm all about the dynamic and over-exaggerated stuff. It's not like I want straight up Metal Slug for every game, but you can really do alot without sacrificing dynamics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx2hm2Zhccs most stuff uses 2, maybe 3 shades for characters there, but it looks really nice. (and nobody has to spend 50k to make it happen) Diabetes Forecast fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Jun 30, 2015 |

There's a bit of a difference between "delayed indefinitely" and "delayed and they can't set a precise date yet".

That sure is an opinion, right there. If that isn't a fakepost then I would be willing to bet the author wears a fedora (it's not a fedora you SJW rear end in a top hat, it's a trilby!) and carries a copy of Atlas Shrugged at all times, while not actually being a contributor to society or the economy at all.
