Sad, but a very good example of what happens when you don't advertise your Kickstarter. I just stumbled across it by accident and plonked down a pledge as a show of support, but I found it with 6 days to go and knew straight away that it wasn't going to be successful. Hopefully they'll learn and get the word out properly this time. Speaking of getting the word out, check out Strike Suit Zero, a space/mech shooty sim with hot laser death and explosions. Seems they need the Kickstarter to publish the game rather then develop it, and the video looks very sweet. I mean, look at all that dakka! Plus if you can turn into a mech and use melee attacks, there's the very real possibility of punching a capital ship to death  Must go find out.....

seorin posted:I think there are two reasons I can't bring myself to ever back an MMO kickstarter. First, they're easily the most likely gaming kickstarter to fail even after funding. Second, they're the only kickstarter where you actually won't get the game at the end. I've seen them offering beta access and a certain length of subscription time, but that just doesn't grab me the same way as getting a copy of a normal game, even though I play and enjoy MMOs. They seem to be going for a Guild Wars 2-style scheme where it's F2P with cosmetic microtransactions, which is smart because after the failure of Old Republic it's pretty obvious that subscriptions are a no-go these days. I agree that an MMO Kickstarter is a risky proposition, but the fact that they have a working alpha already is encouraging. Ah well, I knew the risks when I signed up.

TBH, I never saw the appeal of that Hero-U game considering the pitch video was a bunch of caricatures of people I've never heard of and what looked like my mad Aunt and Uncle back from their latest trip to Darkest Africa with stories about "those wacky natives". Plus Project Eternity aside (because it's loving Obsidian) I don't like committing to a Kickstarter without at least a working prototype.

Man, what's with all of the space sim kickstarters all of a sudden. Star Citizen, Strike Suit Zero and now a new Elite? Hell, maybe this'll start a new wave of space sims and Disney will commission a new X-Wing and/or TIE Fighter game. A man can dream.....a man can dream....

0lives posted:The surge in pledges is quite likely thanks to TotalBiscuit's video on the game, seeing as how the pledges increased by £17,000 in the last 8 hours. Which is really fantastic, because I don't think Maia was going to make it otherwise. Yup, as soon as I saw that I knew that Maia would end up funded. And lo and behold!

DoctorTristan posted:I was rooting for them right up until that writing update. I hope they fire that awful hack they found and hire someone who's written things other then NWN quest dialogue. Or at least seek the editorial opinion of someone who's read a book that doesn't have a big-breasted lady barbarian in a metal bikini on the cover. Yea, that was what made me pull my pledge. A pity, as the engine looks good but it's starting to look like another Tresspasser, excellent in-game tech dragged down by a lovely game. Al! posted:Also I feel bad for the Xenonauts guys now that a really good XCOM game has come out. Really? If anything, XCOM helped Xenonauts because a lot of the previews about XCOM mentioned Xenonauts. Free publicity baby! Although given that it's XCOM it'll probalby end up with the Xenonaut studio burning down
