Well, like half of us have gotten violently ill and are basically incapacitated so we can't do much of anything right now. I wanted to post an update yesterday but I was too busy barfing, so that's part of it. But the other thing is that I just don't feel comfortable milking this for every last dime. It's why we've only posted 4 updates, because we don't want to saturate your inboxes, and why I think we've been comparatively low key. It would be cool if journalists wanted to post it of their own volition, but we don't want to pimp the game out.

Eh, I don't really feel the same way. Updates seem to me something like an obligation to your backers, keeping them in the loop about plans and progress, responding to questions and criticism. When a campaign has less than one update a week, it starts to look like the creator doesn't really care.

Your campaign is on the edge of that. You do respond to a ton of comments, so it's not that bad, but that fact is less apparent at first glance. Plus, it's easy to miss information in comments; full updates also offer you a chance to summarize and respond to these issues together in a place where no one is going to miss it.

I don't think spamming inboxes is really worth worrying about, unless we're talking multiple updates a day outside of the home stretch. Who would pledge to a campaign who didn't want to hear about that project? Edit: and anyway,

If it takes you $120000 to make 3 animated cutscenes, would $100000 get us at least one? Maybe an opening video?

Tales of Game's posted:

One thing I don't like about stretch goals is that they imply that if we don't reach it, it won't be in the game. For us, stretch goals are a guarantee that if we reach it, it will absolutely be in the game but we will still [try] even if we don't make it.

So, hopefully, and fewer might be more likely than all 3 even if they don't make the goal.

Paintball. Recolors enemies (no gameplay effect). Each gun causes one of dozens of colors.
of darkness. Darkens your screen every time you fire, reducing enemies' accuracy (to 0% at full black). Lasts 60 seconds.
Zorcher. Sends enemies to the X-Zone instead of killing them. Almost the same as killing them, only you can't get their gun's or other drops. But it lets you avoid on-death effects like explosive enemies.

A gun that starts off doing low damage, and every hit causes it to increase in potency.
Potentially very powerful with a large magazine if the player is very careful to hit every time, could be great against bosses.

Aight ill try to stream barkley work more often.
Its just been really boring stuff lately, stuff so mindless I really want to distract myself with videos while I work. Cant stream while watching vids!!

Its mostly a looping playlist of nerds playing and talking through Heretic or Hexen. That's my jam. I do my best work with 1994-1996 Raven Software lets plays.

Right now I'm looking for videos of nerds playing through very obscure dungeon crawlers, especially those eye of the beholder types with a first person view and tiled movement. Obnoxious voice-overs are a plus. Anyone's got tips??
Every time I look for dungeon crawlers all I find is a tidal wave of people playing Stone Soup. Stone Soup is great, but I know that one already, and it doesn't have the most inspiring art.


Anyway, I'll probably be finishing up some enemies soon. That aught to be more interesting than shifting sprites around for hours, I'll be sure to link here when I start.

Is Tides of Numenera supposed to be bad? I know nothing about it other than it's a spiritual sequel to P:T, the Best Video Game of All Time. That and it's been in EA since loving forever which I don't know why the hell anyone would play through an RPG of all things in EA.

Big Mad Drongo posted:

The best part of P:T was the writing.

Numenera is by the studio that did Wasteland 2, a game where the writing quality ranges from "wasteland fanfiction" to "acceptably mediocre for a video game."

It might turn out to be alright (not sure what the actual gameplay will be like), but hoping for another Planescape is just gonna get you hurt.

Most of the gameplay changes they implemented seem to be really good, moving it away from Baldur's Gate default assumptions and emphasizing the story and reactivity instead. It's hard to tell from videos, but the writing doesn't look bad. And it has most of the design team from the original.

The level transition between Dead Simple and Tricks and Traps is just depressing, marking the exact shift from "that was fun" to :wtf: and the game never recovers.

Not even 'O' of Destruction can save the rest of it


Mighty Dicktron posted:

The secret is that Doom 2 is actually not nearly as good as Doom 1 nor is it a particularly good game in general

Even Doom isn't the best Doom game. Shareware Doom is. The other two episodes are just Petersen going farther into the deep end the farther he strays from Hall's designs. (This is why Pandemonium is the best map in Inferno.)

Ultimate Doom has some nice map designs, but the progression is poo poo and it suffers from the same boring architecture monotony as shareware Wolf3d.
