Peaceful Anarchy posted:Old School RPG updated and while I still have my doubts about them pulling it off they're doing a decent, if slow, job of saying the right things now. I don't know if they can overcome the rough start and in particular the two games for one goal seems out of reach, but I hope so. Yeah, they really should've put a bit more info in at the start. I really hope this one makes it over the line (and I've backed it) because I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing Wizardry 8, and if this is the closest thing we get to a sequel then I'll take it. I kind of think it's gonna struggle, though.

Quarex posted:Old School RPG now has a name ("Shaker," I am not entirely sure that is an improvement over "Old School RPG" but you know), and a new $125 tier with a boxed copy, cloth map, METAL DOG TAG, IN-GAME SOMETHING-OR-OTHER, WOOOOOO Either way it's probably not gonna reach its goal I reckon.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/evilaliens/orbitor Here's a somewhat interesting looking space action adventurey game. Appears to be nearing the end of its run and struggling to get close to what it needs, which is a shame because the concept seems kind of neat. The game itself appears to be almost finished, apparently they're just kickstarting for things like licensing costs and stuff that I don't really understand. Also they're based in the same city as me so I kind of want success for them on that basis.

Drifter posted:I don't understand your dislike here. It's Kickstarter, which provides a way for people to support something they want to help succeed. Luckily, these guys have an amount of something that they can afford to give as a "pledge prize" to people who can afford it. It's the same reason you buy chocolate bars for your friend's daughter through her school fundraiser for a buck a pop instead of at the supermarket for 2 for a dollar. Yeah I'm not really sure what the proposed correct action to take is when faced with a bunch of gifted mice, if the correct answer is not 'use those mice to hopefully get more pledges.'

If we're talking about remakes we'd like to see Kickstarted, I'll go with Sony either doing something with Lemmings other than remaking the original on their next console, or giving the license away to someone who will make something with it.

They launched a kickstarter within a week of Sim City's release. That is, at most, how long they have been planning this. EDIT: Never heard of Brandon Smith, can't find anything on Google about anything else he's done, and no one else's name is mentioned. There are 'a team of us' from 'various studios' but no names of team members or studios they worked for. Nowhere on that Kickstarter page is any link to a company website or even a Facebook page. The Kickstarter language is full of 'down with evil publishers' rhetoric that is sure to fire up disgruntled people who are regretting their Sim City purchase. Scam. Definitely a scam.

neongrey posted:Why exactly does this mean that he should use personal funds for a company project, that he's not entitled to be paid a salary for the time he's working on the project, or that he's got no right to gauge interest in a far more concret fashion than people just saying they'd buy a thing? Most previous Kickstarters worked on the premise of 'we can't afford to make this without using Kickstarter because we can't get the money from publishers'. It's not a case of whether he's 'entitled' to gauge interest, it's just that with most other Kickstarters it's been a case of us throwing money at people because that's literally the only way the game will be made. Because this is not the case with Garriot, it feels like a cynical way to transfer the financial risk of game making from him, the person who stands to make heaps of money from the game, to us, the people who stand to get the opportunity to play a game. Having said that, if the game looked like Ultima 7 part 3 I wouldn't have cared about any of that, I would've opened my wallet in his direction.

Occupation posted:Except not because the publisher/developer model is a completely different business model than the TV creator/studio model also the kid executive in the Torment video is an exaggerated strawman created by an unfunny dude to express his rage against The MachineTM. My understanding is that it was less a strawman and more a thing that actually literally happened.

I only watched about 30 seconds of that video, but in that 30 seconds he claimed that the only thing he took issue with was that she has disabled comments and ratings on her video. That must've been a really big issue for him to spend another eight and a half minutes on it.

Also, while InXile may not have done much as a company, (no, I'm not counting the Bard's Tale remake thing as indicative of their ability to make a good RPG) a lot of the individual people involved in this game have.

Well sure it's referred to as a donation, but... "Is a creator legally obligated to fulfill the promises of their project? Yes. Kickstarter's Terms of Use require creators to fulfill all rewards of their project or refund any backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill. (This is what creators see before they launch.) We crafted these terms to create a legal requirement for creators to follow through on their projects, and to give backers a recourse if they don't. We hope that backers will consider using this provision only in cases where they feel that a creator has not made a good faith effort to complete the project and fulfill." That seems like a slightly different dynamic to a donation.

Drifter posted:What about it, specifically, do you like? From the trailer the writing looks poor. I backed it because I'm dumb and the idea of throwing money at obscure indie devs based in India appeals to me for some dumb reason. I don't even intend to play the game when it comes out, really.

Arnold of Soissons posted:I mentioned that I wasn't sure about upping my pledge, but I did raise it to the two beta copies level a few days ago. In part because I don't want to have to wait two years for it to be out of beta, and in part because at this point I'm convinced that they will have three factions even if they didn't hit that fund raising amount. I backed at that level because I wanted a puppy.

(Yes. I do want to buy it and I am backing.) On the other hand, in every context ever, I do care that this other guy literally held someone's personal details hostage. That seems to me to be worse in every measurable way that a guy who has a bad opinion and makes bad analogies to support it.

She started off as an ordinary cow, ready to become a victim of another cheeseburger meal until the hormone that she induces begins to mutate her, giving her the ability to walk and gain a sense of awareness of her surroundings.

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing the money I back a project with is going to is the stuff they give me for it; I couldn't care less what they have to spend money on to eventually get it to me, I don't care if they spend it all on hookers and booze as long as somehow the boozing and hookering process results in them making a product that I wanted when I gave them my money.
