The Machine posted:This looks neat, but I don't own any idevices to play it on I feel kinda guilty excluding android - my summer project is learning to code android apps after this. It is going to be totally. I am considering limited ads or simple iap. The game isn't long, but some people might like unlocking the features right away. I don't want the game to depend on iap, or ads to disrupt the playability. If neither work it'll just go 100% free.

I kinda dig the presentation (SCIENCE!). If you release it for free, are you going to monetize it in any way, like ads? Unless you're just trying to get the game out there, which is cool too.

SaltyJesus posted:The Jagged Alliance guys just posted their first update. I was quite skeptical about whether I should back this and for how much, however what they said is at least assuring that they seem to be taking the game in the right direction. Quoted in full below, bolding mine: I have to say, JA: Flashback is probably the most exciting kickstarter for me in a long time. I was a little surprised by the instant negative reaction here, but hopefully by now people should realize that these guys don't have anything to do with the past failed attempts at reviving Jagged Alliance, and this one looks legit. These people are really passionate and care a ton about the original games.

I looked at the Divinity kickstarter and realized that the $65 Dragon Commander tier does come with two copies of Divinity when I thought it only had one. Then I was sad because it was sold out. Then a single space opened up, and I jumped on it. Now I feel like I'm overspending because I'm not used to preordering or spending more than $5 on a PC game.

RottenK posted:$65 is only there because they made a mistake. Stop fleecing Larian and add 30 bux you jerk This has been quite the engaging kickstarter for me. Plenty of gameplay videos and coverage. It's cleared the most important stretch goals though it doesn't look like it's going to hit the final 1mil goal but though I'm sure they could do interesting things with NPC schedules and weather patters effecting spells it's no big loss to the overall game.

But I just want to enable Cuba 2, dammit! Perhaps they'll have a Red Alert-esque second campaign as a stretch goal if they get that far, but I'm not holding out much hope.

I cannot believe how close Larian is to $1,000,000, given that a week ago $650,000 was starting to look dubious. If Twitch.tv puts the Livestream on the front page again... it might actually happen. The live stream starts in an hour. These guys are great. Watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtby4YGKlO8  Graph removed, here's what it showed.

I don't have a ton to kick in but I at least gave to the "Get the game and soundtrack" level, game looks really good and I've been on the fence a bit. Hopefully they get the usual last minute surge and get up to that last tier.

Okay yeah, I'm interested in this one. I really hope they get the PSN/Vita award. (they should swap it with the Ouya one, why would you even put an Ouya stretch goal before a Vita one considering the Vita install base is much larger?)

More money is obviously better, but I'll be honest in that 'NPC schedules' is not exactly a feature I have any enthusiasm about. In most games it just means that people aren't where I expect them to be when I swing by for a chat or to turn in a quest. Best case you have a map marker pointing to them and it just adds a few more seconds of running around town, worst case they up and vanish behind locked doors at arbitrary times and you have to fiddle with the clock to make them show up again. NPC behavior is usually so far from human anyway that making them go from point A to point B at 6:00 every night just makes them seem MORE robotic, so it doesn't help with immersion at all. I'm not saying it couldn't be a neat feature if well done, I've just never seen it implemented in a game in a really compelling way. Maybe because they almost made it, they'll be able to cram in weather effects and moon phases. Those seem more interesting to me anyway. E: Oh, well if it's in with Paypal then whatever!

You're thinking of Myth II, a stategy game developed by Bungie. The early versions of this wiped the entire hard drive when it was uninstalled. Funny that two unrelated games with Myth in the title had such similar bugs!

An often overlooked bug for Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor was it only let you install to your default installation folder. Trying to change it during installation didn't do a thing. This was a hard coded bug they couldn't fix without hacking together a customer installer. The installer still checked your default drive for space even after you selected the different drive and they said they'd never be able to change this. So if like me you had tons of room on a D: partition but only had windows on a small C: partition you were out of luck. The only fix for this was changing the default install location in your registry install the game and change it back. First time that installing a game was so hard that I had lost interest in playing the game by the time I figured out how to do it. This was a time where every game purchase was something I had to budget for. I still haven't played a single minute of that game.
