there should be a phased based kickstarter thing that says okay we need $2000 to do R&D and then if they get through that phase and produce something people are happy with they can initiate the next phase for whatever

kickstarter to get all the funds. it sits around collecting interest. if the projects succeeds it gets the original slated amounts. it loses? backers get refunded the original amount.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

doobie's having a meltdown:

For the first time since I started this project I'm feeling like it's not going to happen... It's the curse of the vent hood again.... Not only did it take a lot of my funds to buy it .. Now it's got to be installed ... I don't think I can do it myself..,I called an installer .. It cost more to install than to buy it.. This is ridiculous .. If I don't get this loan that I'm fixing to try for, I could be over before it got started... No need to respond just wanted to say what was on my mind... Having anxiety attach or something... Can barely catch my breath

how the gently caress was this idiot ever going to run a business if he can't get a hot dog stand running with almost $20k in free capital

quote:

Dropsy is an open world adventure game with an emphasis on surreal atmospheric elements and environmental storytelling. It extracts the humor and rich narratives from classic adventure games and places them into a unique exploration based framework. You guide Dropsy, a perpetually carefree clown (ex-clown to be precise) through a richly detailed world full of colorful characters and sinister secrets.


Dropsy subverts the traditional tendency of game protagonists to be destructive forces in the world. Instead of slaying enemies, Dropsy's innocence and kindness act as a catalyst for redemption. Dropsy doesn't recognize anyone as his enemy, and will lovingly embrace them whether they like it or not.


Though its roots are in the point-and-click titles of old, Dropsy is an almost entirely text-free experience. There are still colorful characters to communicate with, but the dialogue is handled visually rather than linguistically.

This helps emphasize another theme central to the game, a sense of not belonging. Players may not always understand what a character is trying to communicate, resulting in assumptions based on how they interpret the visual symbols. This came as a way to deal with the fact that Dropsy cannot speak, and has become one of its most unique aspects. It also gives the game a universal appeal as people who speak any language can enjoy it fully.
