Hey I decided to check and see how Project Phoenix is doing since the funding period is ending soon. Did they add new stretch goals or has everything past the $1,650,000 mark always been there?

Isn't it part of Square's weird "pitch us a game" thing? There's got to be some kind of quality control if they're putting their name on it unless there's a clause stating "we reserve to back the gently caress up if things turn south."

Doesn't look like it, the only mention of Square Enix on the Kickstarter page is this:

quote:

The positive feedback that we have gotten through various media channels such as Kotaku and the Square Enix community has encouraged us to keep the community involved in the development of our game.

Speaking of that though, I remember there being a project that was part of it, but I can't remember it. It looked inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics and used customizable dice that would decide damage. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Is the framerate in that video also terrible for everybody else or is it just my computer?

Looked fine to me, except at the end there where they were showing off that entire level.

Yooka-Laylee looks like it is coming together pretty smoothly.

I'm posting this here because he also made a Kickstarter for it.

People on the Steam thread seem to dislike it.

For example:

That's real disappointing. :(

So the Parappa and Gitaroo Man devs are teaming up for a new game (up to the $3m stretch goal with Switch at $5m) and it has a million dollar Kickstarter going. Also people seem to have forgotten the last time the Parappa devs tried to do a new game we got Major Minor's Majestic March which was god awful.

This was probably the only way this it was happening, but when I heard about it in the E3 thread I was expecting it to be further along and fully funded. :(

Maybe they'll come out with a truly ill video in the last five minutes and save the project?

Nah it'll be saved by a Chinese company that will launch on their new console.
