Whack posted:We're talking about people hearing mean things said to them while they play video games. Instead of asking for thousands of dollars to shed light on this non-issue, people should grow some thick skin and accept the fact that you're going to hear nasty comments when you're online. I want to ram my gigantic cock down your throat and ram your tiny rear end in a top hat until it bleeds. But I digress, I'm really looking forward to that video series.

Krenzo posted:I'm surprised they're going with the Half-Life 2 engine for this, and it reminded me of this other HL2 Kickstarter project. Source is really cheap to license, isn't it? You're not paying through the nose like you are with the Crysis Engine.

Archetypes and stereotypes are basically the same thing. Except archetypes don't negatively affect real people.

Rebel Blob posted:I feel rude intruding into the fartjar chat, but Stoic has received their physical prizes for The Banner Sage and going to be shipping them out soon. They have a new update up on Kickstarter and a video that shows off the chaos of managing thousands of prizes on your own. They also have this breakdown of how that $732,000 they raised is being used. I really dislike that kickstarter has become more about the swag than the ideas that people want to get behind. Were I making some revolutionary indie game that would knock people's socks off, I would use all the funding I got on the game, the send out then fancy swag(If I chose to do any) afterwards, when the game makes a profit. Or alternatively if I manage to come in under budget, that money would be used for the swaggening, if possible.

Yeah there should be a contract that they're obligated to them eventually, even if the game doesn't finish. That sounded less silly in my head.

SuperHappy posted:Yeah, we're... definitely aware of the reality of OUYA, but... we're tryin' to keep the Kickstarter positive and upbeat. We're pretty certain the iOS port will happen now too, though we do need to rack our brains to come up with some higher-tier rewards. Somehow it was easier to do that with my first Kickstarter project, where everything was at least $100. Put it on the PC and/or Mac? That's a huge market that might not be interested in a mobile game.

Orzo posted:Sorry, I'm a bit jaded when it comes to 'art' games; I don't think I've ever played a good one. I follow gaming news and read gamasutra, and for the last year they've really been upping the amount of talks and conceptual bullshit handwaving and theorycrafting about what 'games' are and how games 'tell a story' etc etc blah blah blah, so it's a bit of a touchy area. The best art games I feel are ones that don't make pretensions about it. Psychonauts, Grim Fandango, New Vegas, Portal 2, and Half Life 2. They didn't set out to create ~art~ when they started development, not exactly. Anyway, listening to pen ward geek out about QWOP and other things convinced me to donate.

I'm pretty sure someone has already done the concept of "which ancient warrior would win in a fight". And I think it was with actual physical cards.

Mordaedil posted:This was great and one really should watch this with an open mind. It's probably easy to get frustrated at first since she critically analyzes the Mario and Zelda franchises, which is quite literally burned into peoples subconscious and might cause some defensive trigger feelings. There was one, but it was one of those CD-i games that no one speaks of. edit: looking them up there were actually two. huh.

There have been half a dozen remakes of Double Dragon. The most recent one, Double Dragon Neon, redid the whole game in 3D.

Cicero posted:Yeah that makes sense. And out of the other major kickstarted games that come to mind, they mostly either have a choice of gender for your character(s) (CRPGs like Project Eternity, Shadowrun, Wasteland, Torment) or they don't really have a protagonist (At the Gates). I think we may have more female protagonist leads in the kickstarted game space than male ones.

If so I can totally get behind that. I imagine Project Awakening would have succeeded if they had George Ziets as a stretch goal.

Shalinor posted:It would seem Kickstarters are starting to take that stupid "people trust campaigns that use US dollars more" thing seriously. He even explains that they converted it in the video. When it comes right down to it america will always have a bigger market, therefore it will be seen as more likely to succeed.

He did say this in the comments thoughquote:Thanks (NOT!) for the sensational headline! While I appreciate those of you who read the whole thing, to see better the whole context, even still, this article is skewed to make a sensationalist slant. My point was, that game design is the hardest, but also the most valuable skill to build in the industry. That every company lives and dies based on the talent of its game design team, and that as an industry we are not doing so well creating the talent we need in this industry, because educational systems have not caught up in this area as well as programming and art. I was not trying to toot my own horn, rather state that game design is hard. Ah well.

Timeless Appeal posted:A person I run in the same circles as put up a pretty interesting Kickstarter for a documentary called GTFO. It basically deals with the harassment that female gamers often face from online gaming communities. It's a topic that I would be inherently interested in, but I'm intrigued by how she is really approaching this from an outsider's perspective. I think right now, the pitch feels a bit unfocused, but I'm optimistic that it just means she'll be developing her thesis as she does her research. If Anita Sarkeesian's kickstarter is anything to go by, you should advertise this on the MRA reddit.
