Hieronymous Alloy posted:It has to be a troll/prank just from the goal. $7,500 is nothing. It could be just the final push, distribution and poo poo. If you're not trying to do physical, 7.5k would be enough to put together a halfassed trailer and host it on some cheap webserver. But more likely they just don't have the slightest loving clue what things cost.

Peas and Rice posted:Well, as expected, Super Retro Squad just completely imploded. I'm not remotely surprised, but I am kinda saddened, because SMBC is fun, and they were proposing 16-bit-style graphics, which really needs to shove out 8-bit stuff... but I digress. I'm amused that they felt the need to use Unity. Because trying to force it to do 2d games when you're only used to flash is so, SO much harder than using Adobe's tools specifically designed to let Flash developers target smartphones. I mean hell, there's even documentation using it to target Ouya, apparently the Ouya people managed to shut up the voices in their heads long enough to do that much. As for my learning experiences, so far I've dodged any truly awful ones. Just Double Fine Adventure (which was Double Fine, so if you didn't expect it to take forever you're delusional) and Chuck's Challenge 3D (which took forever and is very obviously NOT designed for a mouse and keyboard, but it's playable.)

Christian Knudsen posted:I actually can't believe they didn't build a simple prototype in Unity before doing the kickstarter. No way I'd be comfortable launching a kickstarter to build a game in an engine I'd never used before. That YouTube devlog from early March is like the minimal thing I would've had to have running before I'd even consider a kickstarter. I know. I've considered doing a kickstarter project at one point. A clone of the old MTG Shandalar game. I sat down and figured out what I could do in my spare time, with a friend who has his spare time assisting with the TCG design and development (in the paper TCG sense). I determined that I'd be able have a near-final engine for the TCG part with stick figures and crap from PDClipart.org for card art, and a working prototype of the overworld part that would probably have to be thrown out to get non-poo poo art working with it. Kickstarter would be paying for an artist and maybe a Mac Mini to be able to actually test an OS X port. That's further than I expect most people to take it - I have copious free time, very low expenses, and a tendency to get bored with projects before I get to that point - but going to kickstarter with just an idea boggles me.

I'll completely admit that I'd play a Night Trap remake, but I'm sure as heck not going to fund one.

Honestly, The Sims-style space ship decorating, while incredibly stupid, sounds kind of fun...

As opposed to Elite, which is about flying around a bunch of cargo with not enough weapons, trying to avoid pirates.

Shalinor posted:It's because they're optimizing for animation over controls. They have big drawn out landing and jumping animations, a big drawn-out run animation, etc. Makes for charming footage, but it means the actual controls will be somewhere in the neighborhood of dogshit. It's most common when you let artists or graphics programmers do your gameplay code / when you implement art first, controls second. Iji? Bunny Must Die! Chelsea and the 7 Devils? Holdover? That's just off the top of my head. Iji's not quite metroidvania and I haven't played BMD though.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:The answer is to never use it. 2 is basically a straight upgrade from 1, but 3 redid it with a 3d engine and a lot of things... just didn't work as well there. It's still fun, from what I hear, but it doesn't quite reach that same peak of near-perfection as RCT/2.

mutata posted:Because art costs money but they don't want to pay for it but they want to profit from it. So, paying for all the other music, but running a contest to have a fan's work be one of the random songs a jukebox can play or something like that is "not wanting to pay for it"? That seems more like 'hey, let's have some fun and drum up some interest in our game' than 'let's exploit people who don't know better'.

I could probably write a better script for that with my eyes closed. (Granted, I can touchtype reasonably well, so that's not saying much.) Of course, mine would end with the protagonist spiraling into dysphoria and depression and probably committing suicide, sarcastic yay!
