The Conservative bootstraps game that wanted to fund via KS just cancelled like 3 minutes ago as of your post. Sucks that there won't be any future comedy incoming in the updates or anything.

Evil Mastermind posted:According to Fed Hicks, it was also canceled because people were harassing Daring Entertainment, saying that they were never going to support them unless they made the game PWYW. Good god, and I thought the manchildren peppering Greenlight pages with 'NO LINUX NO BUY' were an embarrassment to my hobbies.

Isn't that just incredibly obvious? If a game isn't out for linux of course linux users aren't going to buy it, it's like XBox users not buying playstation games.

I didn't come looking for a fight, but did anticipate that some would happen. If it didn't, I would question if I was even on the Internet. Word 2003? Nah. We have '07 here.  "Bob"ball! is geared toward a specific audience with The Book of the SubGenius in mind. Clipart-style is the key to capturing the essence of "Bob", so we went with it. We've already expected that not everyone will get it. If everyone got it, we wouldn't give it.Alright guys. I'll leave you to your forum. Take it easy, and enjoy the games you do play. The important thing is just to play. Get your buddies around the table, and have fun! Somebody fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 14, 2014 |

Doctor Zero posted:Some guy in Muskegon is going to have some choice words about the liberal backlash on KickStarter that is keeping his free market ideals down tonight! He actually mentions why he cancelled the project in the comments. Bert Ogborn, which is somehow a real name, posted:I carefully read Tim Fennell's comment, and talked to my attorney about caricatures vs. images again. He says that, though no photographic images will be used in the actual manufacturing of the game, since Kickstarter is being used for the MARKETING, it is highly unlikely, but I could still be sued by various parties. So look forward to the Game of Politics Part 2, coming soon to Kickstarter.

That being said, it's hard to top the amount and sheer weirdness of the Subgenius art from Subgenius Illuminati, which managed to match the odd CG and clip art with oh, the usual straightforward rules and layout you'd expect of a Steve Jackson Games product.

lordarach posted:SquandronROE, thanks for your reply! Understood. I have read through the forum some, and do enjoy a bit of back-and-forth now and then to keep things interesting. I think trolling is an art form the Internet doesn't have enough of. This seemed like somewhere I could make a mention, if even to deaf ears, and have some fun at the same time. I'm not worried about nay-saying. We keep it light down here, and probably won't look here again after today. Have you ever visited tg before today? Trolling is minimal, content is high. They're telling you your kickstarter games look like poo poo, which is both true and not trolling and not an art form.

So I know Lordarach is already supposed to be gone but can we take a moment to consider how distasteful this is: [quote=Michael Cox CEO, Angry Ogre Games]Sink the Titanic is a 1-2 player board game that pits you, the icebergs, against the evil Titanic. You must stop the Titanic from reaching its destination, but be careful, the captain isn't all there. The icebergs win if one crosses the Titanic's bow. The Titanic wins if it safely crosses the Atlantic. Don't let that happen![/quote] I dunno maybe this is just me but recreating huge tragedies doesn't really seem like a great way to spend family fun time. It reminds me of that game about managing Nazi trains but without even the excuse of having some kind of point to make and also with the expectation that people will not just play but actually pay to play it without having the whole "killing thousands of innocent people" aspect hidden from them.

Hang on, I need to go start a kickstarter for my new 2 player board game, "Take Down the World Trade Center." And yeah, SA has a long history of respecting horrible disasters and those that suffered because of them.

If it didn't, I would question if I was even on the Internet. You seem to be confusing art that was possible on a budget in 1987, and acceptable art in 2014 when every high school kid has a pirated copy of Photoshop. There's a difference between clipart-style and throwing crap all over your gameboard.

So Catacombs is in its last 48 hours, and I'm kinda dismayed that so much of it is Kickstarter exclusive stuff, including stuff that affects gameplay. The issue is that it's $145 for everything, which is a lot to ask for a game that I'm not even sure I'd like. I'm sure this is going to spark debates about Kickstarter exclusive stuff, but blech.

Asking me to drop 145 for everything too much for me. I don't care for exclusives personally. Give me a discount toss in 1 or 2 exclusive things. Maybe. Let people know they can get the rest after KS for a slight increase in price but don't make it "Oh hey I learned about this game after the KS ended guess I'll never get what other people are playing with, in a freaking board game, without dropping WAY too much on ebay" No one else has to agree with me here but thats my feelings on it

Kickstarer exclusive mechanics and add-ons sounds really market hypey to me, it also gives me the sense that they may not support the game too much after release.
