fez_machine posted:Notably, the interviewer is the author of The Untold History of Video Game Designers which had its own contentious kickstarter campaign. Yeah these guys are two peas in a pod, so this interview is very funny to me. Szczepeniak did some great work on those books but he could not go like a month without starting a new feud with some entity he was convinced was out to ruin him.

for a kickstarter gaming success story(or at least release story, I haven't played it but I hear it's at least good), Protodroid Delta just released on steam and other platforms, the dev is currently livestreaming the game on steam: https://twitter.com/protodroidDeLTA/status/1661781318534041602?s=20 "it's nice they finally turned Megaman X7 into a video game" is a pretty funny review

Oasx posted:Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 were crowdfunded, and I consider those to be some of the best crpgs ever. The unfortunate reality is that most people wouldn't want to buy multiple copies of a game to fund development when there just isn't/wasn't a real market for them. So getting people who are REALLY into those genres to throw upwards of 5-25 or even 100 times the cost of a copy with reward bonuses really was the way to go.

The team behind Patapon launched a campaign for their new game and spiritual successor, Ratatan. It's for PC for now, but there is a stretch goal for console versions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okG0R8r_G8Q

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJH-2jtw9Y Hymn to the Earless God, a new game by Kasey Ozymy, creator of one of the best rpgs of all time Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, is in its final stretch. It's still a fair way to go to fund successfully, but i'm hoping for a miracle. I would very much like to see a new game from him and his new team.

My last backer rewards for Psychonauts 2 just shipped: a lapel pin and a boxed copy of the game. It's kind of incredible how long they took to ship them out and that they still did after all this time. The game was pretty good anyway, so I'm glad I backed it regardless.

The Trese Brothers have an update on their KS game!quote:Cyber Knights and Alpha Backer, we have big news! The New Boston Zone is online once again and the first builds of Alpha V2 have been downloaded from Steam and are in the hands of the Alpha Backers!  I love seeing a game I backed shaping into a real thing. I should probably actually try the alpha since I paid for a higher tier to access it, but...  Either way! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tresebrothers/cyber-knights/description Coming to steam soon!

I can't help by impressed by the plucky Anima team managing to claw their way through about 3 game campaigns now alongside the tabletop side of things, reasonable stretch goals met and all just like the semi-decent days of KS after the wild boom times---right up there in terms of heartening alongside the cult success of Elin some months back. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/animaproject/anima-song-from-the-abyss/description Last 12 hours

Octopus City Blues finally has a demo out and they say the full game's releasing next year. Only took them a decade of plugging away at it. If you like adventure games with trainwreck protagonists like Disco Elysium, this one's a good choice.

I'll take "things I never thought I would ever see and forgot I even backed" for $1000, Alex. Feel like the FNF kickstarter has been radio silent for years. But if they're for real knuckling down and focusing on actually getting backers their stuff, and finishing the game proper, well, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

After a few years of radio silence, the Little Devil Inside team posted a new kickstarter update with a new gameplay video: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ldi/little-devil-inside/posts/4033837 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_TcRcIY8a4 They've done an engine swap to UE5, and are now looking for a publisher apparently. The update doesn't paint a great picture of the development process, though. It sounds like they've lost a lot of team members, and I wonder if they're searching for a publisher now because they need the money to continue.

You're not wrong, but they've been making games this whole time, which is a bit of a different thing. (They were the Skylanders devs, for instance.) It's conceivable that this particular game will suck, but it's not like they spent the last couple of decades working on accounting software and are trying to get back into the industry now or anything like that.

idonotlikepeas posted:If you want in on a Star Control sequel by the original devs, well, now's the time: Star Control has always been these guys' biggest passion. I remember posts on the TFB blog years ago that openly discussed how they were regularly pitching a new Star Control to Activision and kept getting turned down. During their lawsuit against Stardock (during the whole SC Origins kerfuffle), they insisted that they intended to make a new Star Control the moment they were free from Activision. So I suspected Toys for Bob was going to make this game after they became independent earlier this year, but TFB buddied up with Microsoft and I guess the founders bailed to found a new small independent studio instead. There's a lot of reason to be skeptical of original devs returning out of nowhere to do a new thing. In this case though, the project is helmed by a management team that has managed a successful medium-sized studio for 30 years. Nothing is a sure thing in the world of kickstarter but this seems like a safer bet than a lot of other projects run by devs who have either no prior experience or some experience in development but not management. edit: Also for the confused, Ford and Reiche settled with Stardock and managed to maintain control of the setting (the "Free Stars" setting) while Stardock was mostly left with just the name "Star Control." So that's why this isn't called "Star Control 3" or whatever, but it is still in that same setting. edit 2: I guess they actually left TFB a few years ago which makes a lot more sense given how far along the project is.
