Has this or the bad kickstarter thread already talked about Project Nimbus yet? The fact they're asking so little to finish what already looks like a decent Armored Core in the Sky game makes me probably more hopeful than I should be about its final result. But since they've already blew past their funding goal, it shouldn't be too much to hope for Nimbus to be a dark-horse Mecha success story, right?

You make that money, Gordi La Forge. You raise literacy rates and I don't care how much you extort out of the internet. In a world of Barbarosa and Steam Greenlight-esque low fruit projects, this deserves to kill every petty terrible video game idea it can.

So they have a video response up of the RR group just losing their minds in clocking the funding time. $1,000,000 for kids reading in 11 hours.

Yeah, the joke only works for the legion of video-game idea gold rushers and probably every internet celebrity game. Kickstarter is much more harmless and forgivable when its just your garden variety art or local pet project.

Brutal Legend would have been better as two separate games in the same heavy metal world. I powered through most of the band parts, but I'd rather just most of the game be about riding in your bone wagon and beating the poo poo out of freaks with your axe/riffs.

IShallRiseAgain posted:I dunno about that kickstarter, the game seems to be well into development, and it looks like its already getting funding from somebody. I think that whether the project succeeds or not won't really make a difference. Is it bad that they at least brought something you can play to the table and likely worked out contingency plans ahead of time before the kickstarter? I'm not saying you're wrong, I just thought it was a bit refreshing that they have something of a game instead of just a broad promise.

They can recover from this if they actually try to turn MN9 into a successful game, really work their asses off for Red Ash or build up other games before they try Kickstarter again, but goddamn have their ruined the wave of goodwill they had 2 years ago. Toxxupation posted:The big lesson I've learned from double fine, comcept, etc is that publishers are actually totally necessary and force developers to actually output a finished and complete product within a designated timeframe Some people can work without the structure or need to get out of the grasp of morons like Konami in order to develop the games they can and want to do if there is a market from them. However, the system definitely has its uses and not every old developer or young gun is Koji Igarashi or Harebrained Schemes. Many still need a publisher to hound them into doing their goddamn job or someone who understands what a game needs to give them useful suggestions.

al-azad posted:Especially considering they're talking about an SNES and TG16 version of the game which, uh, definitely aren't compatible hardware and would require two separately developed games. And yet the Mysterious Cities of Gold game got funded and translated into several languages, however, that show was still going around the time of its funding and release. There could be a remote chance it gets the basic funds for the title down, but Saberrider seems to have been through too much trouble already before the KS even began that I'm not quite sure if even nostalgia can save it.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:How are people liking Armikrog? I didn't back it and didn't follow the development of the game at all but I gave it a try for half an hour and it feels like a beta that got pushed onto the storefront by accident - I've been having frequent audio issues as well as issues with stuff in the options screen not appearing which make it a chore to play, and it sounds like I'm not the only one. The game itself seems like it'd be fine if it worked properly, so I hope they get their poo poo together. So far it doesn't seem to have lost any of the claymation magic despite how the creator's become bit of a jerk, but the entire game just drops you in and expects you to figure out what you can solve now, where you can go to and which puzzles need to be solved in order to know if progression or a solution is available. Also a bit of a drat pixel hunter in figuring out if you can talk to something or not. But At least Mike Nelson is good as tommienaut and he quips with his dog buddy so it isn't just a void of silence. And the soundtrack is great. But in better news, three more days until Read Only Memories shows us how snatcher it can get. Crabtree fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Oct 2, 2015 |

Holy poo poo, OMOCAT made a paltry update?!

So maybe another depressing Earthbound Like will release this year. Maybe.

I thought the initial return investment for these projects was getting the game on top of swag for more money? Which of the initial kickstarter gold-rush backers envisioned or wanted to be shareholders for a dream game? I guess something like Fig was going to be inevitable; trying to dig some sort of sustainable reservoir for crowdfunding where it can still happen as some sort of risk venture video game bond market instead of just letting the enthusiasm or belief in the system dry up for a few years/decades after people either get too burned or bored by KS games. However, I just don't see how Fig is going to be successful in that way. If anything they just seem like they're going to accelerate or make the crowdfunding bubble burst even worse.

It's loving shame because I really would like for this to be good, but I guess Rap Rabbit and any other Parapa style game is dead for now. Unless someone pulls an Isometric RPG where the spells and Ways of Old are all Hip-hop and Gangsta Rap. Like a future so weird and unnatural that classical western art music has returned as the style of the times and to enjoy a dope beat you gotta rap battle for your right to rhyme.

I finally got a alpha copy of CONSTORIUM: The Tower and what little you can do around the roof of the building is looking okay. There's a a lot of missing content that you can't play with yet, but the flight suit is kind of baller once you figure out how to use it. There's a lot of hidden stuff that I have no idea how to intentionally find and combat's kind of poo poo with the current build, but hopefully that'll change quickly now that alpha keys are out.

Did this thread already laugh at Gearbox potentially killing a indie game by pulling another Bulletstorm $60 price-tag on a game that isn't worth that much money? Because its pretty depressing that an indie team unfortunately picked the worst publisher to try and pull of some exorbitant AAA price tag and flimsy per-order shenanigans, a whopping 15% percent off for the low price of $50.99, for a crowdfunded indie game that should have stuck around $20. Even when you succeed as far as actually making your indie game in some reasonable form and your game is at least going to be released, there are ways to fail and that is letting the likes of gearbox gouge as much as they can get to pay off Randy's needs.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah the core concept of the game is absolutely brilliant and the first few minutes are extremely compelling. But then it just becomes a bunch of running around doing fetch quests waiting for something in the world to update. Not to mention how easily you tired out or got hungry or thirsty. Exploration was a total drag in the early EA build I played because you always had to go back to your little hide out without anyway I knew of expanding to another hide out or crafting some coffee to stave off being tired every 3-6 minutes. And even if they actually need money, that doesn't really justify needing that money to pay off their Collector's Edition Swag feeds. Like I'm pretty sure that is entirely on Gearbox's fault. I'm going to feel guilty for funding them back in their KS days if other people gotta pay like 60 euro if it isn't as polished as it should be, but maybe the current build's different. I'll need to check how far they've come now.
