Doc Hawkins posted:I wish it was more like an investment platform, so you could get equity in a project instead of just access and gewgaws, but that's legally unfeasible for now. Gambitious allows exactly that. However it's based in Europe due to the legal issues mentioned. Unfortunately, investing is not allowed for U.S. Citizens (though they can pledge).

I'm pretty sure the Foglios don't have anything to do with this. Hell, only got Cheyenne Wright involved via a stretch goal, which Machination (which doesn't have anything to do with GG) managed from the get go.

XboxPants posted:For instance, take Ravaged and Tales of Fallen London. Both asked for $10K-$15K, and ended up getting about $40K. And they were both able to finish and release their game with that money. Except, Tales of Fallen London is a text-based browser game, and Ravaged is a full-3D multiplayer, vehicular FPS. You can't judge the scope of a game solely based on how much money they're asking for. Also, the Ravaged devs claimed the game was very near completion when they started the project. They just needed the extra money to finish it.

I'm guessing they're going the "spiritual successor" route unless they plan to ask for several million to get the license back. Which creates the funny situation of having three different Syndicate successors released in 2013/2014 (Black Annex, Paradox Interactive's Cartel and this) EDIT: The site is called "Satellite Reign". Thought so.

ReV VAdAUL posted:As an aside, it got me wondering about synonyms for Syndicate. Cartel is right out the window for obvious reasons but Trust, as in Teddy Roosevelt's trust busting, has a lot of interesting possibilities either as a single world name or in a longer title. Especially given how most citizens are brainwashed and you can't trust anyone. "Consortium" is also sadly taken.

Shalinor posted:Tangiers is down to 20 hours, and at this point, should easily hit the $40k commentary stretch goal. I really wish it'd hit the $52k reality tears one, but that's pretty unlikely. It miiiiighhhht hit the extra difficulty at $45k still, but I don't really care as much about that one. I don't think I've ever wanted a game to hit the highest stretch goals as much as this one (with the possible exception of Satellite Reign). So freaking sad.

U55 - End Of The Line might have a rather lame title (between that and the thumbnail I thought it was a U-boat simulator), but it looks like a rather neat horror game that claims to be based on the Cthulhu mythos.

Accordion Man posted:It's disappointing that it actually isn't about a German U-Boat crew fighting off Deep Ones or something, that sounds rather cool. A horror game set entirely in a subway sounds pretty boring though, subway levels are usually the blandest areas in survival horror games and I should know I love the genre. Even if the game were to somehow be set entirely inside the subway (which I doubt), A) European subway stations usually have a lot of variety to them and B) Metro 2033 proved it could work. Also, we already had a game that had "Submarine crew vs. Cthulhu", it was called Prisoner of Ice. TychoCelchuuu posted:This thing seems pretty hardcore, their description of their sound design suggests that they're using the same technology that Pokemon used to get people to kill themselves. Yeah, the binaural beat thing made me raise an eyebrow as well. I've listened to those and I suppose they sound SOMEWHAT creepy so whatever. re: the voice acting, they explicitly state that one of the things they need money for is to hire decent VAs. Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Everything seemed interesting until I saw the word Cthlulhu. Stealing that setting for your own is such a creatively bankrupt thing to do I instantly lose any interest in any game that does so. Dark Corners of the Earth was a great game that unfortunately drowned in a sea of technical mishaps. AceOfFlames fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Aug 21, 2013 |

...I'm going to have to disagree. I watched the video and for a minute I thought this was supposed to be a Heavy Rain ripoff. Nope, they claim it's a first person shooter...and yet they give us a clearly pre-rendered video that shows some gameplay that looks as uninteractive as hell. Even if you cast your common sense aside and assume this is meant to be a proof of concept instead of outright fraud, this is probably the worst way to go about it.
