It is? They've been publishing other games recently, including at retail, and it seems to be doing well for them.

They've handled retail publishing in the recent past for The Escapists PS4 and their own games, so if they go that route there's experience at least.

As an old Amiga fan it is a shame to see one of the top developers having lost all desire to create anything new, instead they just make endless variations of Worms.

Sounded more like they partnered up so Team 17 could do all the boring business stuff that comes with creating a game, while Playtonic focuses on the actual game. I don't think Team 17 will have any creative influence on the game.

I hadn't seen that one, but i still think my point stands, since they made the original Worms, there have been 25 different versions of Worms, and a bunch of remakes and sequels to other games.

Re: Harebrained Schemes BattleTech Rumours (ie Tweets) seem to be suggesting that they're working with PGI and using their art assets for the game. Which is interesting and saddening, mainly because PGI are terribad.

Everything about Red Ash has screamed "astoundingly dumb" to me, but I'm admittedly not that invested in MML to begin with. I think it's funny that they are working on some ephemeral stretch goals for what amounts to a demo.

Considering the canceling of MML3 was what set them down the path of MN9, this is a dumb beyond dumb. They've burned out the copy of the game that got people mad enough to give money to 9.

I bought a founders pack and ran out of time to play the game. By the time I logged in, Ghost Heat was a thing and it was poptart hell. I briefly logged in again after they dropped CW, but it was seriously loving unfun. Number 19 is saying that PGI has a cross-licensing deal for the art, which is better. I've not entirely forgiven them for shutting down Living Legends. There's also that whole IGP debacle, which still makes me wonder. They actually collected money for MW:Tactics.

MWO is a perfect example of a company leadership that's used to being able to drop their current lovely project and move on to the next one, only to find that in the league they're now playing in that doesn't fly at all. The obvious use of MWO funds for the development of their escape attempt was depressing, but not surprising.

Tangiers is almost done and it looks to be shaping up... well, I have no idea how, but it looks really nice at least. Here's the latest backer update.Alex Harvey posted:Release Dates The trailer is very pretty but lacks much of what he assures us will be important parts of normal gameplay and isn't quite as balls-to-the-wall insane as the game will apparently get. Still looking forward to playing it.

Wendell posted:Mighty Number 9 still looks boring to me, but I'd find any Megaman boring nowadays. The whole scoring thing seems like something that should be an extra mode and not the main part of the game. I'd rather have a simple satisfying platformer than this hyperactive speedrunning nightmare where the actual parts that resemble Mega Man's gameplay almost seem like an afterthought.

It's kinda weird that the core gameplay is the one thing they decided not to be conservative about but it doesn't bother me too much. Red Ash update: they finally decided to disclose the new purpose of the kickstarter and the ratio of Fuze-funded content to "stretch goals" - in a nutshell, Fuze is paying for the full prologue (as opposed to the full game...) as well as Japanese VA and some other unannounced stuff, and the "stretch goals" are little additions like a challenge dungeon or a new character. None of the "stretch goals" will be funded and completely changing the thrust of your campaign 5 days before the end is lunacy but I'm glad they finally worked out how to write a non-ambiguous update, if nothing else. Seriously, can anyone think of another "should have been a slamdunk but wasn't" campaign that's gone as badly as Red Ash?

I was going to ask if there has actually been anything good come out after Road Redemption, Shadowgate and Carmageddon all leaving at least something to be desired. But then I seen Volgarr in the OP which is good. But then I seen Ouya in the OP....

Define "good". You mentioned Volgarr so you might wanna check out Odallus: The Dark Call - it's a Castlevania/Demon's Crest-style game from the team that made Oniken and it finally came out after being crowdfunded about two years ago.

RightClickSaveAs posted:Darkest Dungeon is still Early Access but is really solid already. +1 Into the Stars isn't terrible. Still early, but they're responding to the community. It's FTL from the point of view of the bridge, and is a series of linked minigames intended to help you outrun the baddies and help your crew and passengers survive. Sui Generis produced a little walking and fighting simulator on Steam called Examina. It was rough as all hell up to a couple of days ago, but he's working on a full revision after getting some feedback. Sui Generis is one of those that isn't going to be done quickly, and I can't recommend Examina at the moment. Reminds me a bit of Kenshi.
