Yep, pretty much, though the reactions some people had to his twitter post (which really didn't insult her at all) were hilarious to read through.

I was like "this guy can't be real" because of how he was talking, and then I noticed it was the AmazingAthiest and it all made sense. Jesus. How do people not understand that she disabled comments because of hateful idiots and not because of any kind of meaningful discussion or opinions you'd get in the comments section? The video is loaded with really good points about how women are portrayed in video games, the Star Fox Adventures thing is just unbelievable. edit: Any idea when part 2 is coming out by the way?

Judging from quotes of his that appear on that Wiki, the video was actually pretty tame. Still stupid, of course.

Just backed this little game: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1216936499/back-to-bed-0 Its a navigation puzzle game based on Escher architecture, and looks really great. They're only asking for $5 for the full game and have less than 2 days to get the last little bit of money. Personally I'm really hoping they get to the Android stretch goal.

It's already at $18,000 anyway. I don't think I'm going to pledge, I'll just get the MP3s through AmazonMP3 or something.

So far the only project I have backed that I am not really looking forward too anymore is DFA, because their art style and story (what we know of it so far) do not really work for me. Lesson learned; do not back a project on promises alone.

Looks like the Telepath Tactics Kickstarter has relaunched with a smaller goal and is doing pretty well. He has a demo up and its actually quite a lot of fun; solid turn based stuff with an awesome mechanic where you can push enemies around the map. I was sold when I had one of my units throw an archer off a tower with her mind. The only thing I worry about is the art. The unit sprites are decent, but the maps have a dull, blocky feel, and that title screen art is really not selling this game well. At all. I hope he uses his money to hire a good art director.

And it actually does one better by having several alternate interaction styles... The old Sierra adventure UI is pretty rubbish. There's a reason that even these dudes don't have PUSH, PULL, OPEN or CLOSE as separate verbs. Right now, you need three clicks to examine something. You need five to use an item. If they just put USE/TALK on left button and EXAMINE on the right and had a sliding inventory/magic panel, like the Wadjet Eye games, they could have the exact same gameplay with way, way less UI fumbling downtime.

Have you tried the alternate interaction schemes? There's four in total [including the old Sierra style system, which seems to be default].

Here's a new one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yachtclubgames/shovel-knight My first reaction was 'yet another game cashing in on 8-bit nostalgia', but the gameplay actually looks pretty fun and I like the design of the main character.

Our first crowd funding venture, the 99 Spirits IndieGoGo campaign, is ending in 12 hours. Currently it's at 158%, we had equal amounts of hopes and fears on how well it'll do when we started. Thanks for the help on making it a success.

If you didn't like the controls in their remake of KQ3, you won't like this. I think offering both a Lucasarts AND a Sierra style control scheme is awesome.

That's kind of my thinking on it, too. Mage's Initiation is being tailored to a very specific group [that is, people who loved the Quest for Glory series], so having that particular control isn't some mistake that needs to be corrected or a bug that will be ironed out before release. If that's not something you like, and if you feel very strongly about it, then you shouldn't continue to support the game, simple as that. In the end, it's your money.

Yeah, I'm not impressed with Mage's Initiation either. The combat system was terrible, it wouldn't let me quit out of the fighting tutorial, to the point of trapping alt-f4, and it kicked into an obnoxious sound loop when I alt-tabbed away.

It looked from the previews like the combat was closer to QG5 style, which is the worst choice they could have made. QG2 or QG1EGA 4 lyfe.

Are you complaining that an early alpha has bugs? quote:Important Note: As of March 2013, this demo is still in an early alpha stage of the game’s development. It is feature-incomplete and there are bound to be some bugs. The demo does not yet represent the final product. Honestly I think the most iffy thing about that Kickstarter is how they're planning on providing those physical rewards, but drat was that QFG2 remake good.
