Doom Goon posted:The developer who created Super Mario Bros. Crossover is developing a "new" game. Now, I think it looks like a pretty big mess (IP problems aside, except for no physical rewards it could probably rightfully be in the "Awful Kickstarters" GBS thread), and who knows if he can create original level design, but I thought SMBC was pretty impressive. SMBC was an interesting experiment that I bet a lot of children in the 80s would have love to get their hands on. Creatively, it is about as impressive as I Want To Be The Guy, so I wouldn't exactly trust that guy with an original product.

Doom Goon posted:Welp, that was fast, guess Super Retro Squad (Super Mario Bros. Crossover dev) passed its funding (barring a ton of people yanking, of course). This guy should really try to find a new brand of shampoo.

Lord Lambeth posted:So someone made a flash game where you could beat the poo poo out of Anita Sarkeesian Luckily enough, by the time that article came out the newgrounds staff had already gotten rid of it. A loving evil thing to make in the first place, but at least someone on that site was sensible.

Falcon2001 posted:Hurray! Also, re-iterating the part where I don't understand the hate for a retro platformer like Super Retro Squad with multiple characters. Because I usually like to play games that don't just copy mechanics from the bygone years of gaming. And the only game the guy has ever made was literally just putting other NES characters into Super Mario Bros.

Le0 posted:I'm glad he succeeded with his kickstarter. People sometimes forget that behind those kickstarter there are people with feelings (I know, unbelievable right?), the guy had an idea and has a nice team of people with him. I don't think a lot of the people giving the project poo poo really wanted it to fail, we were just pointing out that giving 50,000 dollars to a guy whose only other game was literally ripping art assets, and this project (with NEW ORIGINAL CHARACTERS) has terrible looking, obviously referenced characters, it just doesn't sit well with me. If the guy who made I Wanna Be The Guy made a kickstarter for the sequel that he made I'd have called it out for similar reasons.

The Moon Intern guys reached their goal with 6 days to go. They posted some stretch goals. quote:$40,000: More in-depth character creator. This character creator allows players to design their avatar down to specific attributes rather than just picking from a vast assortment of faces. I'm really starting to consider upgrading my pledge and becoming a moon scientist.

I, for one, liked the Scott Pilgrim game and its soundtrack. (Seriously, Anamanaguchi are great). Trying to claim an entire art style is lazy is loving stupid. Sure, there are defiantly indie devs who go into a project thinking "We'll do retro graphics, it will totally be easy!" Those games look like poo poo. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it bad. I don't know why so many internet people haven't figured that out.

katkillad2 posted:I only buy video games when I can confirm the entire development staff are good upstanding liberals who have the exact same beliefs as I do. Thanks for the warning on Armikrog goons. There's a pretty big difference between individuals in a huge dev team being bad people and literally the name of the creator, who is a big draw to the project, being a biggoted rear end in a top hat. Theres also a big difference between hateing people for having different beliefs and hateing someone because they've said that you're an immoral subhuman because of the people you're attracted to.

I just stumbled across this game on greenlight. RetroWorld It's a dumb title and the animations are a little awkward, but I'm digging the style a lot. Something about an earthbound like game about being a kid during the 8-16 bit era speaks to me. It doesn't seem to be doing very good right now, though.

Gamers should not be allowed to use the word "scam" anymore. I don't think I've ever seen a group of people misuse a word more.
