Zereth posted:I really hope those gifs are zoomed in and you can see more of the area around you when actually playing. There's a bit in the first igf where an attack is started when the enemy it's aimed at is not visible. The actual gameplay trailer shows that the actual view is zoomed out quite a bit from that, pretty sure they zoomed in the gifs to cut down on size and focus on the awesome.

Mr Underhill posted:I'm not really feeling Kologeon's graphics, but I too found out about it from Jim's good greenlight feature, so I hope that works out for them. Kickstarter draft page is up, if anyone knowledgeable of campaigns in general feels like dropping some feedback, the devs would appreciate it. Did I mention how pretty this game was?

Prey for the Gods is a game I've been following the development of for a while. They've finally launched their KS campaign and the game's looking great! Sort of a Shadow of the Colossus-like with more varied combat and exploration.

The devs are Serbian, so I'm happy to see more Eastern Europeans having a go at this Kickstarter thing. Really looking forward to this one. And no verb coin, Zver! I don't point-and-click, what's a verb coin and why is it bad? Game looks pretty, though.

When I saw it in motion I was 90% sure there was some sort of SuperHot body-swapping mechanic going on because all of the sprites are 90% hard black sillhouettes. It's an astounding mess, but I'm pretty sure that in play it would be far less so.

Haha, one of their already sold-out reward tiers includes a GTX 1070. Pretty canny of them, considering Nvidia's new cards are in such short supply.

Accordion Man posted:It's an old school adventure game UI thing, where you are given a menu of options such as Talk/See/Taste/Lift. Most modern adventure games rightfully got rid of it for the sake of streamlining, they were usually always clunky as poo poo and unnecessary. Like nine times out of ten the character would just say some variant of "I can't do that." Most modern adventure games just have look and interact.

System shock recently released a new patch that fixes some of the performance issues people had with the demo, makes grenades throwable amongst other things: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598858095/system-shock/posts/1623513 Makes the demo a lot more playable on my system, I can go fullscreen and everything. I'm not a big fan of the texture filtering that they added though, I liked the pixelated look.

Mechanism Eight posted:This looks gorgeous and I've backed it but have they elaborated on the backer plus "Elite version of the Grappling Hook In-Game Item"? I can't watch the pitch vid with audio but that's gotta be cosmetic right? Locking gameplay upgrades behind a paywall aint right If it's functionally any different, I'd imagine they'll have some version of it that you can buy later as DLC, Backers would just get it for free. Then again, this is Kickstarter and people do really stupid poo poo on there.

I can't watch the pitch vid with audio but that's gotta be cosmetic right? Locking gameplay upgrades behind a paywall aint right They answer this in the FAQ at the bottom: What are the Elite Items? The Elite items are our way of saying thanks to those that have backed us before launch of the game. They will be a bit fancier visually, and most likely have a small bonus (ie: the pouch will have an extra slot) or the Grappling Hook will have a bit more durability. They will not make the game dramatically different or easier. There will be grappling hooks, and pouches in the game for any player to pick up and use. The Elite versions offer you something to show off to friends and a way for us to show our appreciation.

I didn't even think that thing got funded... I remember loads of old Spectrum game IP holders coming out during the campaign to say "yo this dude's been selling our games on smartphones for years but we haven't seen a cent, gently caress him" and I assumed that'd be the end of it. How silly of me.

So to the surprise of no one System Shock got funded with lots of time to spare. Anyone think they'll hit all of their tiers? Wonder what the later tiers are. It'd be loving HILARIOUS if the last tier was literally, "we'll make System Shock 2, too!" out of nowhere.

I'm kind of glad it didn't completely explode since it seems like feature bloat has been such a drain on so many campaigns, unless you're willing to do the Shovel Knight approach and just outright not bother until years afterwards.

Wamdoodle posted:I'm sure that's the next Kickstarter. Yeah, as above, the next KS would probably be a Shock 3, so SS2 being a stretch isn't actually a... stretch.  They'll have the engine and most of the weapons already done, as well as inventory and HUD and whatnot. They literally would only have to make models for all of The Many enemies and do the level architecture, that's it. They even already have Shodan's VA on payroll so they can have her record any extra lines they'd need. SS2 overall needs way less work than SS1 to modernize it, since it already had voice logs and the whole RPG system built in.

The 'we'll add RPG elements!' stretch goal is basically them doing a lot of the SS2 engine work early.

Just playing the SS1 remake demo was enough for me to throw money at the screen. (well to be honest I threw money at the screen first but then I upgraded to the tier that gets beta access because I want more). I'll happily plonk down more cash for a SS2 or SS3. gently caress yeah. Surprise twist: SS3 is a dating sim game where you play Shodan and romance a number of classic 80s computers in an attempt to find your true retro love.

The latest update for Wizard of Legend goes a little bit deeper into the ability progression of the enemies, which I think is a pretty neat feature. It also came with some links to a game called Buck - A 2D Post-Apocalyptic Noir Action-Adventure Game by Wave Interactive. They advertise it as a Metroidvania action-brawler with adventure game elements and customisable weapons. Gameplay trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DWCXWcUehI It's already in alpha on Steam, and they seem to be pretty good with engaging with the community. They're asking for money to expand the content and for polish before the release, as well as to port to mac and Xbox/PS4. They anticipate July 2017 will be the release. I'm in for a copy of the game, which is only $10. So far they're doing this in their spare time, and I honestly wonder if they're asking for enough, but I don't know how far off being properly finished they are. They're in New York City which isn't exactly the cheapest place to live. It's worth the speculation to me, so we'll see how they go. Memento fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Jul 13, 2016 |

Pigsodus is a point and click adventure/rpg combo with skill progression and similar stuff, but really it's about this piggie and his chicken buddy who find out they're gonna get murdered, so they take their revenge on the humans. I'm not even into revenge stories that much, but this one I can get behind. Murder all humans 2016.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omGu7rm9DAs There's a DEMO.

That pic game's animations on terrible, particularly considering you're looking at that pig the whole time. Buck looks pretty cool, though the VA is terrible and I'm not seeing the Metroidvania aspect of it, just looks like Shank.

I just finished throwing money at the SS remaster campaign and it showed this one on the thank you screen. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sdmv/3001sq-space-colonisation-with-programmable-spacec Looks rather interesting so I gave them some sugar too. But mostly, hurrah and oh my god System Shock remaster, yes yes! It's going to be a long wait.

Yeah, I like the theme and the fact that it's (partially) a point and click, maybe they'll use the money to refine the visual aspect. Anyway, I'm past my monthly quota so I'm not backing it, just thought I'd link it up. Happy to see Columnae is doing good, 10k raised out of 40 and 27 days left to go. It's not in the bag, but I think they'll make it. You can vote for it on Greenlight, God knows it deserves to be on Steam.
