Naar posted:Speaking of projects in moon dollars, Tangiers looks really interesting - like Thief meets David Lynch. From the videos the art direction is great, and the concept of the levels rearranging themselves based on past actions is pretty cool. I will probably back it. I just love what they are doing. And then I will turn off the project updates so I don't see it die a slow death. I really don't think they can make it... Curse you, moon money! Edit: Actually, this is a 28 day campaign, so it does not look as bad for them as I initially thought. No Gravitas fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Jul 17, 2013 |

Baloogan posted:Its actually tough figuring out a conversion rate from money to franks or whatever that symbol stands for. It's easy. The currency is Pounds. One pound is 454 grams. So you pay a kilogram for about every 2.2 pounds of kickstarter backing. I'm still trying to figure out what they want all this weight for, but who am I to know... I don't get imperial units. And what form do they want this weight in? Duct tape? Rebar? Rotten fish? That is... Unless they want the British money Pounds Sterling, in which case google tells me it you multiply your USD by about 1.52 to get GBP. https://www.google.ca/search?q=1+gbp+in+usd

Overflight posted: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. Ah, they had a good run. The GBP doomed them from the start and yet they got funded and even got a bit extra. I don't think they managed the end of their campaign the best. I know their reasons, but the end was a bit lackluster. Opening up a paypal with USD would have been a big boost, I think. So would a countdown live stream... EDIT: And we can always hope for

Yodzilla posted:That's an interesting idea for sure but I'm not entirely certain how that translates into compelling gameplay or level design. Also I wonder what sort of creature hello.jpg would translate to. There was a genre-ambigous game called "Inner space." which did this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation:_Inner_Space It was the best thing ever. Files were resources, directories were levels. The game was non-linear and thankfully you did not have to clear the entire hard-drive to finish...

Gorgeous Gorge posted:Death Road to Canada just went up (along with a steam greenlight), made by rocketcat games who were the dudes who did punch quest, mage gauntlet, and the hook champ series on the iphone. It's their first attempt to break out of mobile gaming, and I'm sold entirely on the fact they've got the guy who made dwarf fortress endorsing the game in his video. Endorsing it while he wears a crown. I love the music on this thing. Reminds me of the NES, in the best way possible. As soon I learn about the DRM status, I'm backing.

From the Hyper Light Drifter kickstarter:quote:I've dealt with some very debilitating and difficult health issues throughout my life, left with few answers as to what exactly was occurring within. This was only amplified in the past few years. Now I have answers, and more importantly a path, which is potentially life-changing in a very positive way. Oh dear. This sounds ominous. Last time someone I knew got a "life-changing diagnosis" and "found a new good path" things did not end well... As in: All fun projects and school abandoned, creativity and personality eaten by medicine that is supposed to help but did the contrary. (Hope you are doing better now, buddy.) I'm probably wrong, but I don't think I will be backing it. Backed the Road to Canada. The dogtaur in their last update did it.

This sounds more like: "Hey, you should know, since I have to keep you all informed. I have a terrible disease that has been tearing me apart for years and has been worsening as of late! I don't like to talk about it. But don't worry guys, I think I have just found the thing for it! It is life changing, I tell you!" Pretty good art though...  ain't that much...Maybe.

Bieeardo posted:I was mildly annoyed, mainly because I've been waiting on a patch for SRR for a couple of months-- their last one hosed things up in precisely the way it was supposed to fix things for other people. Otherwise, eh. They wouldn't be the first outfit to do something like that, and it probably is going to be pretty close either way. I'm a bit pissed off too. I wanted that native Linux support. There also is a hillarious bug. Sometimes an attack instead of going to the proper target goes towards every thing on the map. This looks great (a massive whirlwind of bullets). The bad news is that it does not discriminate between friends and foes and I tend to play squishy mage-ish characters for my main character. They don't tend take the autoshotgun burst to the chest from one meter away very well. And the checkpoints can be far away... So, yeah. I'd like my Linux support or at least some bugfixes for stuff that ain't quite right. I still love that game, given what I paid for it.

monster on a stick posted:Hyper Light Drifter combat video is up. (I think it may be for backers only.) I think what you are seeing is maybe a day-night cycle and the "spotlight" is the light radius at night? I really don't see it early in the video. Just as well, I'd hate a permanent spotlight. The video is public on youtube, so I don't think I'd be runining everything by posting it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu9w5P_7apA EDIT: The update is public anyway.

About Dex: In their pitch video the whole section from 0:53 to 1:00 makes me want not to back it. Timing puzzles with acid droplets and pistons? Come on! Cliche as hell. Also: Fistfights in a cyberpunk world. Boo. Deus ex at least had a police baton, electric stun prod, pepper spray, fire extinguishers, a knife and a sword that doubles as a flashlight. Shadowrun has claw implants or mystical adepts who use magic in their melee fights. All those are more cyberpunk than fistfights. Maybe I'm picky, but this one is a strong "no" for me.

Fart of Presto posted:I really hope Reset makes it, but as with most other Indiegogo projects I have supported, their biggest problem is lack of project updates throughout the campaign. I'd say the price too. I can throw 10$ at a project. Maybe 15$. Never more. If the project dies, that's fine. No big loss. At 25E this is more than twice my limit.

Fwoderwick posted:The younger me demands I buy into this, the current me questions the pricing structure. It's the same issue I had with Satellite Reign which is they've got a comparitively miniscule number of early bird places (as a proportion of the overall total they're asking for), which is expensive enough sight unseen before adding on an extra $5 if you don't jump in right away. Yeah, expensive... My rule of thumb is not to pay 10$ for small games and 15$ for big ones.

I'd love to see Outcast 2, but that seems very unlikely unless this remake gets much more popular than it is now. Nice visuals, but the voiceover is killing me. Something about the way this guy talks makes me want to punch my headset in the face. Take the food out from your mouth and speak clearly, for gently caress's sake! Too bad it won't make it. EDIT: Yeah, lots of strange English too: "... you will see them eat, drink, sleep, or being intrigued ... "
