Illessa posted:Having difficulty actually pledging since Indiegogo is being hella sluggish right now, but Ghost of a Tale is the most adorable of the action-rpgs This looks so good. It makes me sad that it's on IndieGoGo instead of KS, since I think he'd do really well. I guess it's because he's in France?

Orzo posted:I am honestly surprised that such a polished, already-functional game like this hasn't met such a modest goal. The graphics are really great. Is the genre something people just aren't interested in? It really seems like they just haven't managed to tap their audience. The game is cheap and pretty, but it only has 200ish backers. I imagine the British pounds things makes people more wary too

Yodzilla posted:It does. Backing Humans Must Answer worked fine for me. Yeah, me too. I did have to put my card in manually (instead of using Amazon payments), but it seems okay otherwise? Guess I'll find out since it seems they made their goal. Still really surprised at how close it came to failing, especially since the tiers are wacky low on price.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:I've got so many projects backed I can just kick back and watch the games roll in for 3 years. I wish Kickstarter would let you mark projects as "reward received" or something, and let you filter them. I have so many and I often forget which ones have delivered. It's more of a problem with music projects, but even the games are getting hard to manage.

Baronjutter posted:I've gotten to a point where I've lost track of about 50% of the kick starters I funded, they could all just run off with the money and I'd never remember. Yeah, I've asked Kickstarter about implementing a way to track your projects properly (at the very least, filtering projects that have delivered), but they don't really give a poo poo (if anything, they might prefer if people forget).

Massive Chalice seems like it has a way worse set of reward tiers than Broken Age. The game is more expensive, there are less tiers below $100, the 100 dollar reward is worse....

Hieronymous Alloy posted:I think the secret to minimizing terror is to stay within lighted corridors as much as possible. Think of the buoys and lighted zones and land areas as the bases and your job is to get from base to base with as little time as possible in the lightless dark. You can reduce your terror by carousing on the docks in London. The trouble is making the money to party at the docks enough times. I tried to use the sisters as a means to bring terror down for a while. Guess I'll try to be more mindful about light. Oh yeah, I run away from anything that isn't a bat swarm (and maybe a pirate if I'm desperate for money but high on hull). Fought a weird island once though, which I assumed would murder me, but it never hit me.

The REAL Gtab Fan posted:The Insomia guys mentioned it in their congrats update, but I'm pretty excited for After Reset which looks like it'll hit funding. They've tried before with a goal of 900k, but the guy behind it is a little obsessed with the game and has been supposedly pouring money from the business he owns into making the game. I followed it after it didn't get funded and they've been keeping up with development since then and they've got some pretty cool stuff so far. They showed off a bit of their character creation recently and it looks solid. Wait, they went from a 900,000 ask to 35,000? How is that gonna work at all?

People are clearly willing to pay ridiculous sums of money for promises alone, why spoil it with an actual product?

Megazver posted:The creators of Oknytt are making a new Settlers/Banished/Dwarf Fortress type of game focused on online co-op settlement management called Northward. There's a technical alpha available with some basic gameplay. It's decent. I'm backing it. It's on Indiegogo but they're using Fixed Funding, so Indiegogo's main downside is not in play. (Although WTF with the two mandatory address lines? They want me to put just the house number in one and the street name and the apartment name in the other? What?) Indiegogo's main downside is that it's not kickstarter and this won't get funded

All I want is to be able to fly Etalommi posted:Yup. They try to get around it a bit by making you replace the mods and adding a delay for the replacement that grows with how often the ship is destroyed. However, these will likely either be trivial or nerfed after the sperglords whine. The stupidest part of the whole thing is that even if they somehow manage to make an amazing game in every other respect, the economy will be so broken and real-money driven that it's still not a good game overall. They can't make a game worth investing in without screwing over the people investing in it. I think they realized quickly how silly lifetime insurance was, and now they're trying to figure out how to deal with it without trivializing it or making it way too valuable... which I don't think can be done

Why spend your own money when you can spend someone else's? Especially with Kickstarter, where you can basically rack up presales way in advance and keep almost all the money, and still go get regular financing for your game after.
