In non-trainwreck news, someone is apparently making a Power-Stone-esque game for PC/Xbone/WiiU with online multiplayer, and why the hell did I not hear about it until today: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1518707381/combat-core-high-powered-4-player-arena-fighter  I'm slightly apprehensive about the online MP turning out to be something they later ditch, but I played a ton of Power Stone as a kid so I've backed it anyway. I found out about it through a backer update for Bloodstained, so hopefully it'll get the boost in funds it needs, because right now it's not looking like they're going to make their target.

Trapezium Dave posted:It's already a Metroidvania with crafting elements, they're obligated by Kickstarter rules to throw Dark Souls in there somewhere. I hope it's like Dawn of Sorrow, which let you combine items with enemy souls to make new items, rather than having you farm materials.

Cabbagepots posted:If you like multiplayer fighting games like Smash Bros. or Power Stone then this is a cool game that you guys should look at. It got plugged by Bloodstained so I hoped it would make its target number easily but for some reason, it just doesn't seem to be getting a big influx of money. Shame, because I really want it to succeed.

Rirse posted:This is bit random, but is it possible the OP list of kickstarters get updated? It hasn't had a update since 2012 and still lists stuff like Volgarr and Broken Age (which is still listed as Double Fine Adventure) as ongoing. Considering we're over 750 pages, it might just be time for a new thread rather than hoping a three year old OP will get updated.

Count Uvula posted:The UK, Germany, Russia (if you count them as European), and Turkey all buy a lot of videogames. Most other places are negligible. Practically the whole of Western Europe still buys more physical discs than download titles, IIRC. e; vv khwarezm posted:Surprised by that, the PC sections of gamestop or HMV here in Ireland have very slim pickings indeed. Amazon still makes a killing on game discs last I'd heard, and supermarkets tend to have decent stock in France, Spain and Germany.

Hopefully, this one comes out in a good enough state design-wise that they don't need to release a director's cut in a year.

Demiurge4 posted:This. SOMA is a psychological horror story. It's quite unlike most games in the genre and almost completely lacks jump scares. It's basically all atmosphere and creepy thought experiments. Man, this is actually making me want to get it and play it, so thanks. I'll never touch Amnesia because I hate jump scares.

Andrast posted:Amnesia doesn't really have jump scares. I was told it does, which is why I've never played it! I'm generally really bad at horror games. Like, I only managed to play through Alien: Isolation because by about the mid-point you get enough fuel to just tell the xenomorph to gently caress off every time it shows up.

Persona 4 is a VN with bad dungeon crawling elements, good fighting game elements or rhythm game elements of an unknown quality, depending on what part of the sub-sub-franchise you're talking about. Japanese VNs would be a lot better if they weren't written to be skeevy/have any non-zero amount of porn in them but dismissing all VNs as bad because you've arbitrarily decided that CYOA isn't interactive enough is pretty dumb.

Endorph posted:there are a wide variety of japanese VNs that fit this criteria, is the thing. white people didn't unlock the secret power of not putting porn in something. How many of the ones that have received official English translations aren't just all-ages versions of VNs that do have porn in them, though? It seems like most of the ones on Steam fall into that category but I've only played Christine Love's stuff and Phoenix Wright.

RPS just posted that Aurion is up on Kickstarter, which is cool: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/plugindigitallabel/aurion-legacy-of-the-kori-odan I really like the idea of this one, and it looks pretty good despite the slightly janky animation in parts. Doesn't look like they'll make that many stretch goals, unfortunately, but at least they should be able to hit their main goal and that money will go a long way.

The White Dragon posted:If "let me play something upfront" ever really mattered, nobody would've backed Shenmue or, worse, that Totally Not Castlevania that literally had NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY IMAGES, NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT THE GAME WILL LOOK LIKE, MOCK-UPS ONLY plainly labeled on them (that every news outlet that covered them meticulously cut out of the images that appeared in their articles). There is a significant difference between "here is a new indie game that a relatively unknown studio is pitching" and "GIVE CASTLEVANIAMAN MONEY TO MAKE CASTLEVANIA LIKE THE CASTLEVANIAS YOU HAVE CASTLEVANIAED BEFORE."

Lunchmeat Larry posted:so why isn't Indivisible on KS anyway Brand loyalty to Indiegogo, offers of support from Indiegogo because Skullgirls was one of the bigger IGG projects, IGG takes less of a cut (7 vs. 10%), IGG pays out faster, IGG makes you pay when you pledge which is good for guaranteeing that the money will be there and scammers won't gently caress with the numbers.

Nemo2342 posted:Is that why it's a pain to change your pledges? I've only backed one thing on IGG, but I remember being kind of irritated when it wouldn't let me change my pledge easily the way I do on Kickstarter. Yes. If you pledged, IGG already took the money from your Paypal or whatever account, rather than collecting at the end of the campaign. They also make it impossibly hard for you to cancel or change a pledge, which is really loving lovely from a user's point of view. I'm 100% certain that if they were on KS instead of IGG they'd have smashed their goal by now, but because IGG is the place where failed Kickstarters and scams go to die, they'll barely squeak by if they're lucky.

mycot posted:That isn't quite true (or if it was it isn't true any more). You can change your pledge just by clicking a button, but it works by refunding the previous pledge and making you pay the new pledge. I'm not seeing any kind of one-button "downgrade your pledge" anywhere on the site, but maybe I just missed it. There's a pledge upgrade button, but that's it for me.
