Inspector_666 posted:I can't believe the picture they went with as the "cover" for that game. I mean, the game itself looks awful too, but holy poo poo that high school binder anime image is something else. I more dislike the irony pixel artstyle. Making a featureless blob of blocks is "voxel-based" now apparently.

Sorry if this has already been posted - did you guys play the Dog Mendonca demo? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/942343365/the-interactive-adventures-of-dog-mendonca-and-piz/posts/1024079#comments I've been following adventure game kickstarters lately and it's a real shame about this particular one - it looks amazing, apparently based on a successful comic book. Unfortunately, I guess the IP is largely unknown in the US, and as pretty as the game is - and it's REAL pretty, it has things going against it like for example the NAME. It's Dog Mendonca. In the game, he's Dog Mendoza. Every time I searched for it on KS or KT I came up with zero results. It really, really is a shame, it's rare to see and adventure game with so much hard work and awesomeness poured into its art. I'll be backing this as soon as payday's here.

A couple of successful kickstarters have gotten sequels recently. Boss Fight Books, Season 2: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gabedurham/boss-fight-books-season-2 Video Games Live, Level 4: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1916334303/video-games-live-level-4-lets-do-it-again I backed both of the originals and was overall satisfied with what came out. Boss Fight was really hit or miss with the books, but the better ones were worth reading.

…and anyway, Dark Mysteries: The Soul Keeper is all the Charles Dexter Ward game you'll ever need. At leas if you like hidden-object games. It's a bit sad that the Lovecraft theme has really only been able to be properly incorporated in a large number of games in that particular genre.

Levantine posted:Some people just don't deserve their dreams. Dude sounds like a real piece of work. I was disappointed and prepared to kiss my pledge goodbye when Jack Houston and the Necronauts did it, and I feel the same way this time around. Given the structure of the game, I'm not really convinced that what they have is conducive to being tested on a level-by-level basis. It's a dungeon crawl, not a full-blown CRPG loaded with scripted NPCs. Too late to withdraw my pledge though, so I'm along for the ride. I'd be cool with being pleasantly surprised. Speaking of... staplegun posted:I'm about an hour into it and I'm pretty sure it has already been better than the entirety of Dreamfall. The movement/interaction system is a little bit wonky but they could have done a much, much, worse job. I enjoyed TLJ, and appreciated that it ended up going off in a completely different direction than I expected, but didn't think it was the second coming of adventure games. Dreamfall was an abysmal disappointment on every level, so much so that I completely wrote Tornquist and Co off afterward. This intrigues me, because I really wanted to like Dreamfall (and I've got a copy of the 'limited' edition as dubious proof), but it fought me every step of the way. Thank you.

You probably wouldn't know, but hearing people tell you you should stick with stuff related to your culture is jarring as hell, and it encourages stereotyping and lack of diversity. I'd love to see a Lovecraftian game made by innuites, if only just to see what they come up with. E.g. I'm from Transylvania, but I'll flip my poo poo if someone tells me I should make something Dracula related one more time.
