So my copy of that Untold History of Japanese Game Developers book arrived today; I'll be reading it in more depth later when I'm not pressed for time, but there's about 520 pages of two-column interviews from what I've skimmed through so far, just to give an idea of how much content there is, and one of the last pages before the credits and glossary indeed make reference to future volumes. A couple of interesting things I noticed when skimming were interviews with ZUN, the guy who makes the Touhou games, as well as the developer of the Umineko VNs, which didn't seem to be in the scope of what he promised in the Kickstarter but I'm not complaining.

A Steampunk Gent posted:Dragonfall was already a huge improvement in itself and made it a genuinely good cRPG, considering they're tarting it up even more for the director's cut you could do worse than giving it another shot. Agreed. Dead man's switch was a pretty lousy campaign, but Dragonfall is excellent. Definitely give the game another chance once the director's cut comes out.

Shalinor posted:By selling imaginary spaceships and saying $50 million isn't enough. That's why you need to help raise more money and buy this add-on, a grand piano for your ship hangar. Yes, seriously. On the other hand, some of the video shown during the GamesCon presentation suggests that the game might not be 100% guaranteed to crash and burn. It's still wildly overambitious (they want to include a complete FPS, space sim, mining, exploration, fish collecting, shipping/trading, etc), but it looks like they're making actual progress on parts of the game that aren't "more space ships to sell to gullible gamers." I'm cautiously hopeful, but I'd still suggest no one spend money on it yet, or at the most pick up the cheapest pre-order pack they offer, plus the $5 pass if you want to play the dog fighting module. DO NOT get overly excited and buy some $400 ship, no matter how shiny it is or how nice its hot tub looks.

Not a day passes by that I regret not backing Elite/give thanks for not backing Star Citizen. At least with Elite you know exactly what you are getting. Plus the geometric spaceships look 80s as hell.

Jotun hit its funding goal with 3 days to go. I wasn't interested enough to back it, but I'm glad it'll get made regardless. Could be cool. EDIT: Speaking of Star Command, they're hosting a party this Tuesday at their offices that I'm going to. Might get to play SECRET NEXT GAME. I wonder if it's Galaxies? Huh.

Wow, that looks pretty. They're based out of Montreal, which is neat too. I like that they address the issue of asking for too little in the FAQ as well. Gonna keep an eye out for that one.

The Star Command project a while back was to port their mobile game to PC/Mac. Many months later... Now they've feature-creeped it into Star Command: Galaxies. Or it's a new title, they still claim to be porting the mobile version and will have that out Real Soon Now.
