Rebel Blob posted:It flew completely under my radar, but former Piranha Bytes composer Kai Rosenkranz is Kickstarting an album. Starting at the $14 pledge there will be Gothic & Risen medley tracks included, besides the album itself. Rosenkranz has announced some of the Gothic/Risen music he'll be revisiting, such as Gothic 3's Vista Point, and right now he has opened voting to pick out more Gothic tracks for the project. gothic is cool and good and if he had more physical rewards related to it i would back this

Might help out a few apsiring kickstarting goons. There's a huge pile of those lists out there. But if you're fine with ignoring feedback from goons, then you're probably going to ignore those lists, as well. Or just pick and choose from them. It does sound like it was partially the team's fault for making the video all story, Pxlwrm mentioned in the other thread that he was pushing for more gameplay footage. He really should have pushed harder, but I get the feeling they need money to keep the team together, and they need it now. There's a "company" (they're 90% college students) local to me that's done two failed kickstarters. The first one had no gameplay footage until late in the process, and they "had to release it now" because they had a newspaper interview going out then. The second one had a small amount of gameplay footage, but it was for a mobile puzzle game, and their video was still heavy on the talking heads. Mido posted:In gold leaf on a 3d printed plaque.

Lets! Get! Weird! posted:You should have something to show - kickstarting shouldn't be literally nothing but an idea and some people. At least enough gameplay to show off a minute or two or gently caress at least fake it. A kickstarter video should just be a gameplay trailer. Yeah, the only people who have a licence to kickstart an idea without detail are those with a track record. Even that is becoming not enough, with big names running into a plateau early on in the campaign when it becomes clear they didn't have a lot to show for it. If you're aiming to kick start, development really should focus on getting a slice of gameplay together that communicates what the game is about and how it plays. That proves you've solved the hardest problem, successfully getting an idea, or at least the core of it, from your brain through to execution. If you do that well, the game will pitch itself provided you've targeted an audience well, because people will be able to describe what they're seeing. 1 minute of gameplay can travel the world before 6 minutes of exposition gets its boots on.

I'm trying to remember if he had several other failed Kickstarters under his belt, or if that was the first one he'd actually done by his lonesome. Personally, I've grown to dislike Kickstarter videos. These days, any idiot can throw a trailer together, and I can read faster than you can spin your pitch-- and I don't need concept art pictures gliding randomly about either. Make something memorable, show me some basic gameplay, or don't waste my time. There needs to be an indication that you have something more than an elevator pitch; we're beyond the point where multiple Kickstarters have failed and others are apparently years behind schedule because there's a big gulf between having a neat idea and some concept art, and actually having something tangible to present.

Basically, they were in "okay, we produced a tech demo with the KS funds, let's see if we can get a second round of private funding to turn that into the actual game we promised," and it didn't happen, because the tech demo was rough as poo poo and not very fun (and very dependent on having their custom hardware).

We just hit our funding goal on Kickstarter with a little shy of 48h left on the clock. I don't want to spam the thread or anything, like I've said before, but a good chunk of that was goon money, and me and the team wanted to offer our thanks to those of you who backed us. Knowing that we made it is an awesome feeling. =D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh5CB2lnZ7c The Pathologic remake has a new trailer. I want this thing done so much and I hope they can hit at least the first two stretch goals. Do please consider pledging on their KS. You can even pick a copy for one of your silly, expensive new consoles (PS4 or Bone).

Unfortunately that Pathologic trailer is just all of the CGI scenes they had in their pitch video. Nothing new, but it is nice to have that all in one place. I'm considering upping my pledge again, I really want to see them make lots of money. Unfortunately, while they have the best mindset possible about stretchgoals in terms of not ruining the end product to shove in a bunch of poorly thought out and ill-fitting features, it is a little hard to get worked up over "we'll add more content to The Town"

I think the new trailer is useful for gaming sites and such -- it'd be weird to see a Kickstarter pitch video on Giant Bomb or something, so this one fits in better even if it doesn't have anything new. I doubt any of it is in-game anyway, the animation and stuff gives the impression of something akin to a storyboard. Producing more would be a bit of a waste of time, since it's just for advertising (though I guess that might bump up pledges but who knows.) I still jumped up to $55 for the extra in-game scene. Why the hell not. I can say for sure that this is not a game I'm interested in Beta access for. I love IPL's music. The first little snippet of coming through the door and talking to the lady is incredibly reminiscent of The Void (which is amazing but very slow and rock hard.)

Unfortunately the dude who made the original Pathologic music no longer works at Ice-Pick Lodge. As for how that will affect the game itself, I believe in the comments IPL's position on it was "we'll see if our current composer can emulate the old guy's style to our liking. If he can, there might be some new tracks, and if not, it'll just stay the same. Either way there won't be any big changes."
