Mr Underhill posted:...And the inevitable Cuphead-like. Complete with almost-copyright infringing title. Looks like poo poo, team has zero programmers (one "technical director" though so that's totes all right!), one artist and one animator. Asking for $50 000 which isn't even going to pay their salaries, let alone let them outsource the massive amounts of work they need to get from outside. Cuphead was a labor of love from guys who eat and breathe old animation and understood perfectly how the aesthetic worked and how it would work in a game. These are just some fuckwits who aped the style, cut off the colours and slapped on an old tyme film scratch filter (or even more likelier, a scratch animation looping on top of the game layer) and legged it to Kickstarter to ride that sweet sweet wave. gently caress these assholes and their dumb ripoff game.

So that's... one and a half games out of the 10+ I've backed. God bless gamedevs and their sense of scale.

Played a little bit last night, playing with a GTX 980, 32 gig of ram and the game installed on an M.2 SSD, I would get 3-10 second hangs while enemies spawned in. Borderline unplayable at the moment for me. edit: quick perusal of their twitter indicates they know about this and a patch is forthcoming. Will wait until then to pass judgement.

Dragonfall was a stretch goal on the Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter, and then Hong Kong was a separate Kickstarter afterwords.

I've just been experimenting with builds (there is an rear end-ton of content, over 100 spells I believe) so I haven't been pushing for wins but I'm pretty good at action games and I haven't had a complete run yet. It's tough, fun, and has a ton of progression. I love it.

Stoneshard is a modern take on the classic turn-based roguelike, a bit like Dungeons of Dredmor that's more Darkest Dungeons-flavored. It's by the devs of 12 is better than 6 which was also crowdfunded and came out to be a fairly decent budget Hotline Miami-like. They're also my fellow Russkies and they probably need the cash, so pls bck ktnx.

Yeah, I've learned long ago that you should never play a big RPG on its release date. Though in Obsidian's defence, at least they actually bother to patch the most glaring flaws.

Pillars 3.x is much better than Pillars 1.0 was design-wise so I'm glad Obsidian kept fixing it, it's just that I did my 60 or whatever hour playthrough at launch and then could never find the time or energy to replay the game to play the DLC I'd bought or to see the mechanics changes. This time, I'll just wait until all the DLC is out (which gives me an excuse to finish replaying Pillars) and they're done with major balance/design changes and play it through in one go.

If you enjoy the main game, there is no reason not to grab the DLC since it's the same thing but better. Stronger writing, more interesting combat encounters, and a welcome change of scenery.

If you've ever been curious about loving around with game development, Ben Tristem/GameDev.tv who did a bunch of pretty good Unity/Unreal courses on Udemy are now Kickstarting a Discovering Godot course. They're pretty good and reliable and the price is decent, so if you're interested in Godot I'd recommend backing. And, ofc, if you ever wanted to, like, buy all of their courses at once but never got round to it, the one tier with all their courses is a pretty good deal bang-for-buck.

An update on Bard's Tale 4 and bit of a Q&A - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/the-bards-tale-iv/posts/2188974 Krome Studios are now doing the remaster of the original trilogy, I seem to recall there being a debacle about the previous studio working on it.

This doesn't strictly belong here, but it's pretty neat: Paradox is making board games of Crusader King and others, and using kickstarter to fund 'em. e: And Here's the link to the first kickstarter.

Unsung story's updates are so good now that even if the game isn't great I think I'll be pretty satisfied with my original pledge I haven't seen any other devs come anywhere close to the level of transparency and depth of updates as little orbit has been doing. The latest update was a detailed look at their current iterations on their interface/UI design and as someone fairly interested in game design I found it fascinating

I know it's not a Kickstarter but it's pretty relevant to most of this thread. I just backed this book project on Unbound. Full disclosure: I am an insane map nerd so maybe I'm the only one who is interested in this. Virtual Cities.   quote:Virtual Cities: An Atlas & Exploration of Video Game Cities is an ambitious and richly illustrated atlas that is the first detailed attempt to document the deep and exciting history of game cities via a combination of original maps, ink drawings, and insightful commentary and analysis.

Just don't get Wizard of Legend on consoles, especially Switch. The console ports are really badly optimised, the Switch one noticeably chugs compared to PC and has random freezes as well. And play it with a mouse and keyboard, otherwise you can't aim spells independent of your movement direction.
