The creator of Scratches needs $100,666 to help finish the new horror adventure game he's been working on for the last 4 years, Asylum. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/agustincordes/asylum-kickstart-the-horror Hm, I like adventure and horror games and I heard Scratches was good. Anybody got a good reason to not throw at least $15 at this?

I can definitely see being wary about funding them before WL2 comes out, but saying they're just scammers is just being ignorant. They really gave a good explanation of why they had to it and at this point they've reunited essentially all the major people behind the original game plus guys like Ziets and Mitsoda who helped make two of the best RPGs of all time that weren't Torment 1. They clearly have the passion and experience to pull it off so I was willing to trust them, unlike say Ouya which had disaster written all over it from the start.

Yeah TOG's been sending monthly updates for people that backed $40 or more. I backed Barkley 2, LA Game Space, Asylum, Eternity, Dreamfall, and Torment. Barkley 2 was the first for me to get rewards aside from the game and now next should be the LA Game Space because they already sent out surveys. I went for the Wasteland 2 add-on in the Torment Kickstarter so that's probably next. The rest will all be either next year or 2015. I will also probably buy some of the Kickstarter games that I missed the boat on. (i.e. Shadowrun, Moebius, Dead State, Broken Age) I'm not really worried at all for any of them.

Among the Sleep, the survival horror game where you play as a toddler that's showed some teasers over the past year or so, just started a new Kickstarter asking for $200,000. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krillbite/among-the-sleep

The Veronica Mars one was totally justified because WB needed to see that it would be profitable and crowdfunding was the only way. The Zach Braff one seems like he couldn't make the movie he wanted without crowdfunding which makes sense enough. The new PA one is just scummy, not in the sense of being a scam because its most likely not, but in the sense of "We're going to abuse crowdfunding because we're douchebags and we know you'll give us money anyway."

To be honest if they really play up the rogue-like elements I'm just going to drop my pledge. I despise rogue-likes, it ruined Binding of Isaac for me which sucked because I loved everything else about the game.

Trapezium Dave posted:I never played McGee's Alice because I have a pet peeve against "darker and edgier" Alice in Wonderland attempts - they all take what is a warped and twisted setting to begin with and try to make it more "adult" by stripping out all the political and social satire of the original and replacing it with violence, sex and/or overwhelming dark grimness. This Oz based thing looks the same - Disney's Return to Oz film looks like a better take on the idea. This on the other hand just seems really uninspired in comparison, it just seems like they went "Nerds never shut up about steampunk and zombies right? Let's put them both together and slap them on The Wizard of Oz even they though have nothing in common! Brilliant!" Accordion Man fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jun 25, 2013 |

seorin posted:Well this looks fascinating: LIONESS. It's a mystery/adventure game with a great trailer and graphics that remind me of Ghost Trick (probably the best possible game to remind me of in this circumstance). They seem to have a thing for sevens, so for $7 you can get seven experimental indie games and all seven episodes of the final game. It actually seems like a pretty good deal.

Bieeardo posted:Holy cow, Steam's SR: Returns forums are crawling with indignation, ludicrously high expectations, and even a guy complaining that twenty bucks only gets him ten hours of campaign. I'd stroke my chin and puff on a meerschaum, pondering what this kind of upset might mean for studio-scale Kickstarters, but... pfft. These people make the same noises when EA and Co. take dumps on their plates every year, and still come back for extra helpings. I'll probably get Shadowrun because its sound like a solid, fun RPG, but probably not until the Winter Sale because I really don't need it right now.

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.

You can even argue that they're even worse, because they can't be skipped so you're just jumping up and down and throwing random crap everywhere waiting until the characters stop talking to you.

I think the big problem is that the original Shantae was quite hard to find until they re-released it on 3DS a few weeks ago and the sequel was only on DSi for a while. I actually haven't played either because of that despite wanting to, I still pledged though.

If Ice Pick does another Kickstarter I hope its for a Pathologic remake that's a lot less of a clunky chore to play with a better English translation. I'd back the hell out of that.
