Seeking investors for Super Mario Combover. I have already done the hard work (grown out an incredible excess of matted, straw-like hair from the very top of my head) and have already hired a team of 8 to figure out ways to assemble my wispy thatch into a reasonable facsimile of a human hairstyle, but here's the issue: these people need to eat, and apparently they don't like sebum and keratin very much. So I'm faced with a conundrum, Code Red and Burger King are expensive. So I need you to give me ten thousand dollars, and once you've done that, and I look like a goblin in a cool wig, I will say "yahoo" and "mamma mia" repeatedly on justin.tv at 2:30 EST each afternoon for 6 weeks.

Yes, this is the exact response needed towards someone raising serious issues in your 'marketing strategy' that further cements the obvious, complete disinterest you have in the community you're trying to advertise in. Your time is probably better spent making up another stretch goal about adding a credits screen.

Is all that money coming from reddit or something. I mean this just sounds like a bad flash game. How do people spend money on things like this I just don't understand. 10k to add achievements. How? Why? Who is going to play this game?

Carecat posted:Boardgames get $700,000 but no-one wants a Descent update Oh, c'mon, don't go there. Next you'll be saying that iPod docks kickstarters do X instead of Y project that is struggling. Don't compare apples to oranges. Personally, I don't think the Retrovirus people managed their KS properly. If they had that alpha demo and the video to show to the media right at the start it would probably have picked up. Xenonauts did it and got quite successful. It's becoming obvious that if you are not a big name, you need to have a really cool concept or a nostalgic one with a lot of work already done to show the world right away and use the money just to finish the game. gently caress that Retro Squad flash game, though.

I know game development is expensive but they torpedo themselves by stating that with successful funding, they can add another hour of gameplay. Cinematics and voice acting don't even look required in the videos they have shown. A large scale beta is already a given with most any Kickstarter that gets funded and doesn't cost much to run. Also, for all their talk, the Kickstarter rewards don't actually say anywhere that you're going to get the mod tools. It also sounds like they have plans to sell them: cydereal posted:If we fail, we will likely release a stripped down single player and complete multiplayer while using incoming revenue on the editor and the final bits of the campaign.

It also sounds like they have plans to sell them: It's less that we need the money to "add an hour," so much as we're going to lose an hour or so of content that we haven't already started. The main reason we're kickstarting is to get our tools out. If we can finish the tools to a releasable standard over the next six months, we're giving them away. We also need more development time to polish the game; things like bindable controls, joystick support and performance concerns. We've probably already failed. I have some more media coming, but the biggest media outlets we've had have all been stretched to get us between $4k and $7k. No idea what it takes to get us over now. We'd need one of the media guys like RPS who have sat on the sidelines to get behind us.

I backed Dead State but have been wondering what stretch goal still has a lot of other goon backers still interested in hitting. I don't understand the big deal about animals being included so that rules out the 330k for me. I really would love for the kickstarter to hit 300k though and that's looking like a tall order considering how slowly its gone over the last couple days.

The post-release modifiers at $260k interest me the most (which is good since it should hit that just fine). The zones of control and whatever other gameplay options at $360k could be good too but it's hard to say given the lack of info.

Yeah, I'd love to hit 300k for the city, but I'm not holding my breath. Animals? Meh. But the city sounds cool.

I really would love for the kickstarter to hit 300k though and that's looking like a tall order considering how slowly its gone over the last couple days. I've donated $20. I'm most interested in hitting $260k (More Character Creation Options, More Zombie Variety, Post-Release Game Modifiers) and $330k (Animals Added, Dog Allies Added). I have pet dogs in real life, so I think dog allies would be pretty rad, plus I think animals would add some more depth to the world, and I like things that add more depth and flavor to the characters and gameplay.

I think it'll hit 300k easy, maybe 330k, but I don't think it will get the last goal. That wont be too disappointing since they probably can/will add it if the game sells well upon release.

100 HOGS AGREE posted:His tiers are kinda poo poo, but my absolute favorite part is the final one, which is such an audacious answer to the people who want him to release the source: I remember way back, sometime before the game went to 'gamma' testing (more than beta, not quite release), when people were being dickholes over demanding cheat codes and save scumming, pointing out that they could put that stuff in when he released the source. So he turned around and announced that plan was no longer on the table. I think it was one of the first big belly-laughs the Internet gave me. Then I got bored with the project, got tired of waiting for JADE, and now the idea of him needing fifty thousand bucks to develop a roguelike just makes me giggle quietly.

HEVampersand posted:I don't understand the big deal about animals being included so that rules out the 330k for me. Brian Mitsoda posted:Dogs aren't affected by whatever reanimates humans. In fact, the zombies don't even care about animals unless they happen to be in the way of the zombie and a human or the animal is attacking the zombie. Dogs are great at knowing when zombies or other humans are around before human party members. They are also great at distracting zombies and intimidating other human survivors. About 70 hours left for Dead State, it looks like we have started to see the end bump. They've raised over $10,000 so far today as opposed to just under $5,000 yesterday. The $10,000 pledged the day before that was half funded by one person who went in for $5,000, today seems to be largely made of people upgrading their pledges. Only $7,600 away from the $240,000 goal so we'll probably see that hit early tomorrow. There is a new update about the end-run for the Dead State kickstarter. Here is the important bit I think: Doublebear posted:So, how close are we to our stretch goals? Let’s break it down. As of this morning:

I never understood why a game taking place a few weeks after a zombie invasion wouldn't already have a "City" zone, it seems pretty important.

I imagine that "city" refers to the big city outside of the main "town" where the game takes place. A small town is a great place for a Zombie game, so excursions to the 'big city' could fit in really well.

I'm actually surprised by the vitriol against Super Retro Squad or whatever. SMBC was super fun and an interesting take on nostalgia and platformers, and finding out he was planning on making a new game with new stages and everything was exciting for me at least.  I mean, his hair sucks and he obviously registered just to back his game and that sucks, but I don't see the hate for the game itself, especially since it sounds like it's not just going to be SMBC with different sprites.

Cult has met it's final stretch goal, it's a shame the guy's probably asleep and can't put a few more up. He's still got 3 days to go. With some really great stretch goals I reckon he can hit $40K, maybe even $50K since it's a prettier number. I looked this morning and it was on $21K meaning he had $4K pledged today alone
