Four score and twenty pages ago, it was called. Supertoy is now dead! The founder has made a run to some well established toy company, made the toy much simpler ( AFAIK it just reads Wikipedia and uses Siri or something worse, along with a probably very simple blanket ban on anything that uses "adult words") and given the backers a great choice : botched alpha version of the promised toy or beta version of the lesser new toy (or refund)...

Oh, there is also some drama about the team breaking up and the fact that not only were the backers not kept in the loop, but the "creator" purposely mislead them into thinking that the project was going fine -photos of the production runs, shipping dates...- and only coming forwards with the truth of selling the idea to a toy company once backers had noticed this slightly too similar competition.

And here's me thinking it would last all summer long.

Goon-made, Goon-disapproved webseries Video Game High School just got funded for a third season which is good for the backers (because they did a Flexible Funding campaign so otherwise they'd be SOL) and bad for everybody else because it means another year of effects dudes and internet comedians wasting their time and talent on Video Game High School.

sucks to be right
Kickstarter just announced that there's now been over $1 billion pledged to KS projects. That's a hell of a lot of microwallets and iPod accessories.

Ahahaha not only did it fail and prove to be a scam just like I said, but the updates are hilarious. Definitely an 'idea guy / idea gal' going on here (welp my idea was great but mr. stupid programmer just couldn't make it happen!) look at this amazing update where they brag about the sweatshop they're using to make the teddy bears

quote:

This sums up HOW I FEEL. The long and winding road that leads to your door Will never disappear I've seen that road before it always leads me here Leads me to your door The wild and windy night that the rain washed away Has left a pool of tears crying for the day Why leave me standing here, let me know the way Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried... "The Long and Winding Road" is a ballad written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney). It is the tenth track on the Beatles' album Let It Be. It became the group's 20th and last number-one song in the United States on 13 June 1970,[3] and was the last single released by the quartet while all four remained alive. "

Brony dating sim with deep RPG elements, 100+ gameplay hours, and gorgeous artwork.

Three years in the making, Dark Skyes is not your average dating sim. It is a journey that spans multiple continents; a quest of good against evil; and a search for true love, fulfillment, and self discovery--all rolled into one.

I'm surprised women are actually on the design team, but it's still mostly unwashed-looking white dudes.

What are you talking about, it's full of pizazz. Look at all of those terrible eye-bleeding fonts and how the dude's covering part of the bottom dialogue option.

Of course it's not, since I assumed that it was posted on some other forum. But after doing some searches, I have to say that you are probably right.

Also, dude posted three times in 2008 and before that in 2004 or earlier. It is entirely possible he had no idea what SA thought about Ponies.

Though considering that was during the furry purges and hell dump… I really want to believe it was a joke.
