BenRGamer posted:Hey, if you're concerned about it, ask them in the CoH thread I linked--they really do seem to be passionate about it. It isn't that I'm concerned about it. It is that it literally has no chance of success. A team with no experience is not going to be able to make a fully-functional subscription MMO. They may be passionate about it but donating to them is just a quick way to lose your money.

Warcabbit posted:Actually, CoH didn't trust the client. And we've not forgotten that lesson. That's part of why there isn't a grey server right now - getting through the encryption wasn't easy. If I remember right. I may not. It was a different team working on that, which I carefully learned as little about as possible. No offense is intended by this, but you've still not actually explained how you plan to do this. I mean making a MMO is not an easy task, let alone one which is designed to both mimic and improve upon City of Heroes. The road of game design is littered with the corpses of MMOs and those are MMOs where the people working on it are not entirely volunteers working on a shoestring budget (many of whom are apparently doing it in their spare time.) You're optimistic, you're confident, but nothing you've said gives the impression you have any kind of gameplan. Your Kickstarter page is largely a ton of words saying "we're really really sure we can do this" without much backing it up. You're telling people to trust you but that is about it, which is not very confidence-building when you're taking people's money to do it.

jbone posted:So yes, you're right to be skeptical. But don't count it out. And again, no offense intended, but that still isn't an answer. Why shouldn't be we count it out? Even your clarification is "he said he can do it and they're really dedicated to doing it." Telling me "they've got a gameplan" doesn't help when I can't find that gameplan at all. Telling me to look through several months of forums posts doesn't help either because I tried looking through what I could see and found nothing but a lot of pluck and vinegar and some vague promises. I have absolutely no doubts that the team is dedicated and cares about what they're doing but they are asking people to invest money in them and "we're really dedicated" isn't and shouldn't be enough even for a regular game. An MMO is something to be thrice as skeptical about. What they have here is nothing but giant glowing neon warning signs when it comes to Kickstaters. The fact that they're half-funded already proves there is enthusiasm for the project but from my perspective it also means it's a lot more likely that a lot of people are going to be out $50 or more. I have friends who love CoH and are interested in this and I need more than promises to explain why I shouldn't warn them away. CapnAndy posted:I... I haven't backed Hyper Light Drifter, and I don't think I'm going to. I'm in the same boat honestly. I think the game looks fun but I am completely dead on the art style.

Man, I didn't even know this existed. I have huge nostalgia for General Chaos that it probably doesn't live up to. Warcabbit posted:I am currently limited on what I can say about other funding sources. In fact, I'm a little limited on what I can say about a lot of things - we're not ready to reveal business plans or precise technology. That being said, all of your questions have been considered. Including the ones about the servers. The launch servers are going to be expensive, but we don't need those for a while. Then you're doing a bad job of promoting yourself. That's all there is to it. You're 'limited' on what you can say. You're hiding things while asking the public to fund your game. Do you not see how you sound incredibly Ouya? Do you not see how you look like a giant scam I want to warn everyone away from promoting?

Project Sen is a nice idea but just to echo what people are saying, the art design on the two 'character info" pictures really doesn't hit 'big girl' so much as it does 'fetish art.' The body structure as a whole doesn't really fit together. It's understandable to some degree, a lot of artists are just not taught how to draw larger women, but the initial impression (especially on the internet) is going to come closer to 'this is someone's fetish game' than anything else. The overly small head and the general design of the legs really are what give that impression and the proportions in general seem like they could use some work. I'll also echo that the sprites themselves look better proportioned and less deviantarty and I (for the most part) like how they look.

Huh. those are actually three really good choices. Mascot platformers are ripe for Kickstarting and Gex is just recognizable enough to be useful while so obscure and ancient you could basically do whatever with him as long as he has wisecracks. Fear Effect is cheesecake and survival horror but had a lot of potential to be something really interesting in the right hands, and I could see an indie version of Fear Effect being a great game if they play up the 'weird-rear end mythology" and downplay the "lesbians making out" parts. Anachronox is basically a "hey, do you want to kickstart a sequel to an awesome game? Sure you do!" situation and invites older developers a chance to get onboard. They're kind of better choices for getting people to kickstart interesting games then Deus Ex or Tomb Raider would be in that regard.

Hakkesshu posted:I don't know about that. I'd put Gex in the same category as Boogerman, James Pond and Dizzy. It would fail horribly, and also go back and play that game - it is awful. Might as well Kickstart Oscar while we're at it. Gex had three games across multiple platforms. It wasn't a great game but it isn't Boogerman either and the basic concept is ripe for modern Kickstarting platforming games. It'd have to be better than the PSX game to really be worth it but the IP is probably worthwhile enough that someone could figure out a way to make something of it without be beholden to whatever came before.

Accordion Man posted:I'd be all for an Anachronox sequel if Square doesn't utterly botch it. I still need to play the first Fear Effect, I've had it for months. Fear Effect is like the definition of a game that has aged poorly. It has some really unique and interesting ideas but it also controls like balls and literally features The Macarana as an important puzzle clue.

SaviourX posted:Yo I ain't even backed that Sen game, but you goons is being loving goony again. Boy, it's a good thing nobody points out those designs as well. Absolutely nobody said anything about the Arkham Asylum Poison Ivy or the Skullgirls designs before release. The Skullsgirl thread didn't have a standing rule not to discuss that in the thread because it was pointed out so much. As I said in my post, the sprites are fine and are much better proportioned for what they are trying to do. The art just looks a little off but in ways that are fairly easy to fix while still keeping the characters larger women. The creators seem fairly receptive to criticism and don't seem to be intending their characters to come off that way so I don't think it's particularly harmful to point it out.

Orzo posted:Although I think the legal aspect is kind of interesting (whether it's okay for her to use that image) this probably isn't really the right thread for it. Also, just because something is discussed on reddit doesn't mean it isn't allowed to be discussed here, that's really dumb. The legal aspect has been discussed elsewhere in other terms. If you like I'll find some and PM them to you to avoid filling up the thread with the discussion. There's a lot going on here and the point of view presented in the original post is, intentionally or no, regurgitating crappy stuff from a specific part of Reddit. Considering the subject matter and issues involved, it really feels like putting it into the Kickstarter Gaming thread would be a good way to make the thread devolve into pretty crappy arguments. It's a complex issue and emotions are incredibly high on all sides of the argument which rarely leads to something that doesn't devour a thread whole. I'm not trying to sound like a dick or anything like that and if I misunderstood the original post then I apologize, but there's basically no way it can end well in this thread and at least a large part of that is due to the actual legal issues involved being filtered through a lot of the actual assholes on Reddit.

I feel like Barkley 2 will get finished but I do wish they were a bit more transparent about what is going on. Maybe that is because most of the other games I've kickstarted have been giving me regular frequent updates which really helps make it feel like they're going to get finished. (Admittedly they are all from developers who have released multiple games before.)

They seem pretty far along, only issue is they don't seem to be asking for enough.

Man, I love the Fire Emblem games and I've played all of them, even the ones only in Japanese. They're really not super-complex games. They're largely about positioning and simple resource management tempered by semi-randomized stat gains and occasionally a specific game-exclusive mechanic. They can still be challenging (depending on the game) but complex they ain't.

It's a pretty easy game honestly. You have infinite lives and a lot of items which invalidate the really hard parts. One of the earliest relics you get makes you immune to spikes and all damage for a limited period of time and can be spammed. It's hard but not overwhelmingly hard.
