mycot posted:For localization costs? I feel like this is a circular question loop. No I understand that. It's that it already seemed absurd for actually developing those games so it'd be odd for me to assume it's for localization.

I'm sure the no names voicing a niche VN command much higher pay than someone voicing the second most important character in one of the biggest game franchises.

Just a shame the Drift Stage trailer didn't use the best song off their soundtrack https://soundcloud.com/myroneofficial/exclusive-coup Though besides that it was exactly what a kickstarter video should be.

Maluco Marinero posted:I just find the idea of trying to convince people that a popular thing is only popular to terrible people, or that the creator is a terrible person for flimsy reasons tiresome. The obvious examples are Phil Fish and Amanda Palmer, and honestly it gets tiresome being unable to carry on a conversation because people so desperately want to tell you how bad that person is. Those were the worst two examples you could've chosen to try to make your point.

Geight posted:The kickstarter for STRAFE looks like it's gonna fall well short of their goal, which makes me sad because it looked like the first FPS """roguelike""" that I would be interested in. Their ask was a bit high unfortunately. It is weird how all the best kickstarters I've seen (bar Hyper Light Drifter) never really explode like some others I've seen. STRAFE was one of the few they did the video thing right (should just be a trailer/commercial no talking about who you are or what inspired you or whatever).

lol how does that guy think comparing the costs of adventure games back then to now defend somehow blowing half a million dollars on something that shoulda cost like 1/10 that or less will sit well with anyone. It's like blowing millions on an hour long 2D platformer and then saying well Sonic 2 cost millions and had a huge team of people!

Mr Underhill posted:The time factor means nothing to some, me included. There are masterful composers who write symphonies in a couple of days, and for others it takes years. I have enough to play so I'm not constantly checking up on games in production, and I don't think I'm the only one. Grim Fandango took 3 years and 3 mil bucks to make, i dare anyone to say those weren't years or money well spent. Grim Fandango wouldn't take that much time nor money to make in 2015.

Basic Chunnel posted:Like, Brian Fargo is something of a carny and Wasteland 2 was well overrated but for as much as he hosed up Interplay he seems to have a much better grasp of wrangling small teams working on small slates of projects. Pillars of Eternity looks like it's going to deliver everything it promised (which is a ton of stuff) and as much as everyone adores Chris Avellone / Rope Kid, Obsidian seems to have escaped total ruin several times over the years due to Feargus Urquhart's ability to hustle and keep budgets tight. Developers need managers. Troika learned that the hard way and it was very much the Perfect Artist's Paradise that a lot of people dream about. It's weird Double Fine gets the defenders despite a string of fuckups while I don't see such insane rabidness for Obsidian when they put out one of the best games of the decade and then got hosed because the metacritic score was criminally low and they missed a big bonus because it was one point too low.

Just because you got millions doesn't make you not a stupid for backing bad things. I got a good amount of disposable income but I've only ever backed Barkley 2, Hyper Light Drifter, and Drift Stage and I think the latter two were at the most basic "get the game" tier.
