Holy poo poo that SUSD update.. gently caress Quinns. I guess Paul was the one adding substance to their content and without it Quinns' snark just comes across as spiteful instead of funny.

yeah i was gonna go for a long-term attrition game but that's kinda iffy when it took three prop cards to get where they need to be. i suppose irl i could hit the vc up for money but i dunno how much they''d go along with that

man, can we talk about thhis?

art costs money. i'm doing all of my own artwork, but even with this i have no clue how people manage to afford to have their games in the forms they (now usually) are in for funding campaigns of all things. even worse is when a game is complete (and I don't mean FA! is notably incomplete, the only thing left is a portion of the artwork) to the point when a game has been manufactured and several copies of it are floating in the wild and sent to reviewers. what the gently caress do you even need the money for? it's kind of degrading to me as a person who actually needs funding to manufacture something that i'm literally doing all the rest of the work on.

now, I could physically take a prototype to tom vasel, who i've physically encountered by accident at my flgs, but outside of hand-making new prototypes for people there's no way I'm getting reviewer hits.

the whole thing just evades me conceptually.

i really should make a less sweary, more up to date version of a raw gameplay video. there's a point about halfway through the gatling somersault video where the robeast evolves and like 3 of us start saying "poo poo" over and over again until i'm like "DICKBUCKETS"

This to me is why the whole Kickstarter way of funding games just seems so rear end backwards. I feel like when someone goes to a publisher to pitch a game they have to have a really solid working prototype and then - if their game is accepted - the publisher hires someone to do all of the art and production and promotion. With Kickstarter, you have to basically lead with awesome visuals and production value and marketing and if you are lucky the audience might care about the mechanics to an extent; how long you playtested and balanced the game is going to be the last thing most backers will care about even checking.

Like I have read stories of DXV developing, playtesting, then pitching his prototypes (he has also posted the images of the original cards with google image art and comic sans font here) and then I look at something like Exploding Kittens which seems to have been conceived and hashed out in a weekend and then handed to the Oatmeal guy to illustrate, and it just makes me completely wary of Kickstarter games in general.

Obviously, you have the added challenge of this being a hard game to pitch conceptually without your name already being DXV or Vlaada Chvátil, so I understand why you are going the Kickstarter route and you totally have my support and pledge money. I'm just saying, um, I guess it sucks that expectations are set up the way they are.
