A good poster posted:Could they get away with calling it "The Real Star Control 3?" I was such a confused kid when Star Control 3 came on and had a gorilla.

Back before the the stardock lawsuit, I recall their plan being to make a new star control literally named "star control 3" and pretend the one that already came out never existed.

Why the gently caress has nobody told me that there's a Kickstarter for an English version of the motherfucking GREGORY HORROR SHOW roguelike and a pilot for a new season of the cartoon?

Runa, a gorgeous, semi-open world, turn-based JRPG-style game is slightly more than halfway through its kickstarter period. It's already met its basic funding and many of the stretch goals, but the big goal remaining is English voice acting at €300,000. As of this post it's just over €219,000 - about to reach the stretch goal to have Emi Evans (NieR series, Dark Souls...) join as a guest vocalist. I am not associated with the project, I just think it looks neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTtwubaAS5o quote:What are the main inspirations for the gameplay and art direction? It's being built with Unreal Engine 5, and is currently slated only for release on Windows first, but they hope to take it to major consoles as well eventually, although there are no stretch goals for other console ports visible yet. Some features:

Unless there's something they're not telling that doesn't seem even slightly possible

With that successful a KS there's a reasonable chance they can get a publisher to help out, but the original goal? No chance, not in any reasonable timeframe. It looks amazing! Just. Oof.

Yeah, they fell into the trap of promising tons of different gameplay systems and saying all the 'right' things to the audience to make the perfect game despite being only a team of 3 people with a very modest goal. It's the sort of game you'd often see in the early years of KS campaigns and they almost always burned out. Looking forward to a few months of nonstop optimistic updates until they realize that they're in way over their head and just disappear.

mycelia posted:Ouch, yeah. With that successful a KS there's a reasonable chance they can get a publisher to help out, but the original goal? No chance, not in any reasonable timeframe. That is very true, it is a concern, but their FAQ does mention that they hope to leverage the kickstarter to approach publishers. Blowing past that funding goal in just 18 hours based mostly on the graphics will help show they have an audience. quote:Our main focus is to wisely use this funding for covering the areas in which we are currently more limited. This would mean a noticeable increase in the quality in, for example, character animations. With this campaign as a proof, we will also be able to approach publishers in better conditions, which allows us to have an extra funding to make the game possible and closer to the vision we share. They also say that they have been working on the game and been posting clips on their Twitter account weekly - some clips go back to 2021 - (although I don't have an account so Twitter can be finicky about what it shows non-users). But in fairness, I have backed projects which turned into lemons before *cough* Starflint *cough*, so I'm not the best judge. EDIT: I've just posted a few questions in the KS comments page, so I'll see how the devs respond. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 15:37 on May 2, 2024 |

I mean best case scenario you're financing their Dragon's Den pitch, which still appears to be a AAA Xenoblade-dating sim epic being developed by a team of three. This is the type of game usually made by a professional AAA dev studio over half a decade, and it's taken that long for Toby Fox to not even release half of Deltarune which is much, much humbler in scope. I don't know if it's a scam, but at best its terminally naive

For something that promised the moon but has somehow so far delivered, Friday Night Funkin released a new Week. It is very impressive in a lot of ways and visually stunning compared to their previous work so far.Captain Invictus posted:the Friday Night Funkin' devs have been hard at work.

Thanks for reaching out with your concerns. Of course, the delivery date for Early Access is still pitched for two and a half years from now, and things could go wrong, but I'm not spending a ton of cash on the campaign, so I'm willing to take a chance.

Well if they say that everything is ok and they can do it on their own and easily hire a team and get publisher support without needing to provide any proof of those ‘talks’ then who are we to doubt it? Like what did you expect them to say on their funding campaign? Yeah we’re totally over our head and will burn out? The confederate express guys also had really good answers to all our questions.

I get the impression it does sometimes happen but I'm not convinced it will here. I've been following the remake/remaster whatever they're calling it of Little Big Adventure, and they managed to get a publisher on board, but it sounds like they went through a lot of rejection and disappointment first, and this is some of the original personnel with an existing IP. (Albeit not the most popular one.) I imagine things will be even rougher for these guys.
