...of SCIENCE! posted:Shaq-Fu 2 was an indie company that bought the Shaq-Fu rights and Mighty No 9 was a new company. If Capcom had been running a Kickstarter for a new Megaman game as a way of gauging interest I'm pretty sure people would be making fun of them too. Mighty NO. 9 is Comcept but also Inti Creates who are an established company who have created or worked on many projects to date. That is what Comcept does, they pair with other companies and by the time of the M#9 kickstarter they were already working on Soul Sacrifice for Sony and Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z for Tecmo-Koei (also paired with other companies.)

Oh, here's a better one. An MMO with "fully destructible terrain" for only 40,000 quid!

If something like that ever got made it'd be nothing but a giant hole with a few dicks floating in the air within a day. Glorious but short lived. Edit: can't find anything about how this guy plans to monetize his game, the first guy mentions a subscription as a backer reward. This is kind of important if you're serious about that sort of thing. Not like those one man MMO projects are going anywhere anyway. Morglon has a new favorite as of 02:42 on May 14, 2014 |

I should write a program that automatically generates Kickstarter MMOs. -SANDBOX -NON-INSTANCED PLAYER HOUSES -CLAIMABLE LAND -CUSTOM CRAFTING ITEMS Every single loving one of them boils down to "what if Minecraft had only one multiplayer server? And also a lot of bullshit features we need to include because they're improved versions of features in WoW."

Is there really that big a demand for CRAFTING CRAFTING CRAFTING? What kind of loser plays a game where you can be a badass warrior or something and decides he'd rather be the blacksmith?

Most MMOs have crafting systems in it, and a lot of what you craft are things what make you kill other things better and/or things that can get you in-game money to get the things that kill stuff better.

No kidding, a lot of people actually like Star Wars Galaxies because you can play a cantina dancer or a weaponsmith. A cantina dancer can just /dance in a cantina and can make more money faster than a bounty hunter. When they introduced vehicles in an expansion, some people chose to get paid ferrying other players into quest zones or run a safari service instead of dogfighting in space. Although to be fair, the game actually supports this; it has no NPC weapon stores if I remember right.

Crossposting from Kickstarter Gaming thread, you gotta see this So there's this kickstarter for a book of interviews with Japanese game developers about the old days, sounds pretty good right? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1748556728/the-untold-history-of-japanese-game-developers But he's being sued now: http://versusjs.blogspot.com/2014/04/joint-statement-regarding-criminal-case.html How could this happen? quote:What brought on the meltdown?  Be careful who you donate money to...I can't decide if its hilarious or tragic. Both, I guess. Wow.

And it turns out that  One million dollars wasn't quite enough so they're still taking pledges.They hit their goal last January and one of their updates last month said they were "moving ever closer" to alpha testing so who knows, maybe they'll actually be able to pull it off??

Even worse, its somebody who thinks the load bearing beams would look better somewhere else, but who never studied architecture or physics. It kills me how often gamers say "I want to punch whoever programmed <bug>" because clearly it was intentional!

Otisburg posted:Pathfinder Online. There was also Camelot Unchained and City of Titans. I think with City of Titans they didn't even have any professional developers on their team, they were just a bunch of City of Heroes fans who wanted to make a spiritual successor and people were willing to throw money at them.

I just can't hate on the Jane Austen MMO because it's a completely original idea, even if it's probably not a great idea. It's a complete breath of fresh air to see a crowdfunded MMO that isn't WHAT IF WOW WAS ALSO MINECRAFT.

Whatever, Dancey basically promised this would be the chaotic murderfest early Ultima Online was*, so wait for it to inevitably go F2P the way all non WOW/EVE MMOs do and goonswarm it, if it ever gets released. *He actually promised that it would be FFA PVP and all that, but it wouldn't descend into mayhem because... look, it just wouldn't.
