I think top right is Alastair from Dragon Age; the second and third from bottom left also look familiar, not sure from what though. Pretty sure it's an anime.Bandit Queen posted:I also see The Spy next to the Pyro and Phoenix Wight. Yeah, that's the Spy, not sure how I missed that. Pheonix Wright isn't there, though, that is the G-Man from Half-Life. Unless you mean the blonde...

I feel like I missed out on a :goonproject: shitstorm. It's a trad games thing-- he was one of the guys running this kickstarter-- which is still chugging along, actually, despite the setbacks. The guy who actually got the money from the KS made the dumb move of paying R_M in advance for his part. Not sure what happened because he didn't take off right away or anything but eventually R_M just took off. He's no longer involved with the project but people are obviously very sore about his role in a pile of poo poo that nearly sank the project. So you didn't really miss out on anything, exactly-- there's drama there to be sure but it's pretty pedestrian stuff. Not even a shitstorm because the people involved in the project not named Red_Mage are still going to make the thing happen.

Hotdogs are like, the ultimate no-effort food. He's serving trailer-park grade hotdogs with supermarket buns, and expecting to expand to a restaurant? If he's currently operating out of a trailer, and can't make $6000 off those prices, obviously he's not getting as much repeat business as he'd like to believe. Because easy-cheese and canned chilli are an excellent gourmet option for dressing up supermarket wieners!

This is a pretty cool idea that will probably end as a huge failure. Cross Plane is a WiiU-pad'ish handheld that can stream pretty much anything under the sky. Sorta like how the the Nvidia Shield handles PC games. All they need is 350.000 dollars from backers and it'll be a reality. Also, if you want to stream various consoles you'll have to buy separate "cartridges" that handle each format. The OUYA is obviously one of them and heavily featured in the video pitch.

The miniatures at "purchase price" add up to well over $650, but you can get ALL of them for a tenth of that price? AND they're painted? It makes absolutely no sense. Of course it won't reach it's goal because the miniatures look absolutely hideous. I have never sculpted at 28mm scale in my life and I'm absolutely certain I could do better than those on my first try. They look like a 13 year old made them.

Remember 'will it blend?' These guys had a show just like it, except instead of putting random poo poo in blenders to show off the device's durability and toughness, they threw random poo poo in a campfire because why the hell not. They need 2000 dollars to bring it back. Because if there's one thing YouTube lacks, it's channels dedicated exclusively to wrecking poo poo in various ways. Normally, when people make KickStarters for card games they tell you how the game is played on their project page. War of the Dimensions has a different strategy; their only comment on the gameplay is that it's 'completely random'. You may also think their current art looks a bit poo poo, but that's only because they haven't made their cards in this software package that automatically makes the cards look a hundred times better. Why they haven't used this magic software to design their cards before starting their campaign will forever remain a mystery. Maverick Hunter X isn't necessarily a bad KickStarter, but I'm including it here solely because of how hard the guy must be kicking himself right now in light of recent developments.

I guess it's original in the sense that there are no zombies. It's not really offensively bad, but of course it looks like a Gamemaker platformer with the standard void of a cohesive art style due to stealing sprites from other popular games.

It's a high traffic area in full view of the road in Reform, Alabama (population 2000.) Oh, and it can only be 48 square inches so nobody will be able to see it driving by anyway.

This guy isn't close enough to anywhere decent to ever make a profit on trailer park hotdogs, he's miles from even Tuscaloosa. I'm a little bummed I won't get to trip report hotdog food poisoning. EDIT: "To date, we have been faced with many risks and challenges. The largest risk has been our financial investment in this business. We have put a lot of our finances at risk to avoid taking on investors or bank loans." Whatever this guy says, the truth is he can't get approved for a $6k loan from smalltown banks in Nowheresville, Alabama. Good business investment, right there.

Why would the explosions be tied to your character's facing direction? There are several times where he killed something, turned around and a couple of frames of the explosion follow him.

Just so you guys who haven't clicked the link know, this is the entirety of their kickstarter: [Not putting in quote tags so that excerpts can still show up for anybody quoting this post] A new dice based card game. Making everything you do by chance. I am raising these funds to produce this card game. I have all the designs done and most of the pictures for the cards finished. We need the funds to help get the sets printed out as well as to fund the program we use to make the cards. The art for the cards isn't cheap and the program we use costs quite a bit of money. We have started with simple designs and turned what was a generic card game into something new. We do need help funding though to send this through a print shop. The reward you see on the page will not be the only one if we raise more money then we are expecting. We do plan on coming out with unique rewards for the different funding levels. This game will give you a whole new outlook on card games, as well as a new perspective for those of us who played Magic the Gathering and Dungeon and Dragons. I hope to eventually have this game sold at bigger retail stores and make it world wide with tons of expansions but I can't do that without your help. Every dream starts off as an egg, with help and time it will eventually hatch into something beautiful and unique. The card as you see below is a completely hand written card. The program we've decided to use give us the ability to add text to the cards, making them look 100 times better.  current condition of some cards Risks and challenges Part of the problem we ran into was to make this game unique. We have played other card games and every one of them is similar in attacking and defending we wanted to make it different. We have made this game completely random even if your winning at one moment theirs always a chance someone else could beat you.

There are several times where he killed something, turned around and a couple of frames of the explosion follow him. If I had to guess, he's passing the value of the character's facing at the time of firing the weapon to make explosions have a "blown back" effect. However, he's crazy and this information is being passed by reference for some awful reason, so the facing in the explosion points to the same variable as the facing for the character sprite, instead of being just a copy of it from before. I'd bet dollars to donuts he's passing the entire character state in every projectile fired because he's too lazy to go through the engine's UI or type in whatever chain of fields and properties he would need to in order to reach the variable that just governs facing.

He probably wanted to make the explosions be based on your position, decided it was easier to base it on facing, and then hosed up and had it check for your facing every frame of the explosion animation rather than just when it started.

Jeff Leroy has worked on an impressive number of horror B-movies, and is currently running a KickStarter for his next project, GIANTESS ATTACK! It's a tribute to horror movies of a bygone era, and I suspect he's putting his heart and soul in this project. He's been in the business for the past fourteen years so I doubt he's secretly trying to satisfy any fetish he might have here. I hope he's prepared for a shock, because if you submit green screen footage of yourself he'll edit you into the movie as a victim. At the low price of 200 bucks, you can get eaten/stomped on by a scantly clad sixty foot tall woman. I've been on the Internet long enough to know there are a whole bunch of people with weird fetishes out there, and Leroy's movie might just be the first of its kind to be fully funded by them.
