I don't know why people are complaining about copyright infringement when you can sell things like Bro Force and Zelda (fan)art books.

(I'm still surprised nobody tried to muscle in on them because fair use has been eroded in the states, but they were probably too small a target. Plus they worked with The Expendables) Zelda licenced art books are obviously licenced. Fan-art books... what are you talking about, exactly? Those are probably illegal. Do you mean like things sold at 'cons? Those often skirt copyright infringement, but mostly because they're too small. They're sold person-to-person and barely make any money, they'd garner more ill will if you went after them than just letting them be.

I recall there was a Kickstarter for an Avengers fan art print set after the movie happened that got cancelled because it was illegal and they didn't want to get hit by a lawsuit since the total was thousands of dollars. They went on to sell the print set off a nondescript website anyway because they saw those dollar signs and thought that would be under the radar enough not to get sued. edit: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sketchcraft/earths-mightiest-tribute-print-pack is the one anticake has a new favorite as of 22:23 on Feb 13, 2015 |

Anyone else wondering if exploding kittens will also happen to have the most rejected pledges of all kickstarters? I imagine no matter what they'll walk away millionaires, but a man can dream. Dream of a flash in the pan fad that dies just as it hits store shelves.

Yes we foresee the possibility of encountering issues with the re-branding of the registered trademark "MySpace" but... due to all of the changes to what "MySpace" and the resale of the company prior to its re-lunch was known for, we are pretty confident that this problem will not occur or effect us in any way. Re-branding this domain "MySpace Retro" as opposed to the original site name is just in fact, the equivalent to an old arcade game. They have the tendency to go out of business and reappear 10 years later as a re-package labeled "Retro Games Console" as apposed to the prior "Games Console". "We're aware that this is super hella a lot an IP violation, but because they changed the thing and I don't like it anymore, it's fine to make our own and use their name for it in direct competition with them because of flea market video game consoles" also is re-lunch is the hobbit meal after second breakfast and regular lunch?

It's a re-lunch because the kickstarter guys are going to eat it when the MySpace people get upset.

Reach for the stars on your tiptoes, kiddos. The only people who take game design classes seriously are people enrolled in them.quote:People might think that our games will be dumb or stupid. But, Beethoven wrote his first symphony at age 7, and we have been working on stories and ideas for these games since we were about 13 or 14. So that proves great minds can start young. As if there weren't enough gaming communities, and that's before you count stupid crowdfunding projects for them. quote:The number one challenge we will have with our project is gaining followers. In this day and age video games are in every home so we must go the extra mile to give other gamers a reason to support us. With the amount of social media out there it takes something special to bring people into your community. One advantage we have is a strong local support group of gamers. Stupid idea but the video was mildly entertaining. Also a very important part of being in the food industry is turnover—how many tables you fill per day. If people are sitting on their rear end playing Catan in your cafe all day, you aren't making money off other people coming in to have a seat at that table and ordering food.

Actual research shows that 1 in 4 restaurants fail in their first year, and 59% in the first 3 years, mostly because of personal reasons involving the owner(s), like not realizing how much commitment it takes to run a restaurant.

Gaming bars and pubs have becoming quite popular. In fact, Central Florida, where this has Player 1 in Orlando, a video game bar, but even most gaming bars have tabletop sections for the Catan, Cards vs. Humanity or even the D&D crowd. It would probably be more successful, since you can charge for drinks and bars succeed by keeping people in seats and drinking.

I would pay an establishment too much money for keeping me supplied with drinks and food (and have, in the past, when I lived in Washington) in a secluded, private room. It's way more convenient than gaming at someone's home, and if everyone chips in like $10 on top of whatever you drink, the cost is covered. On top of that, the 'house' usually has a nice selection of equipment for you to use - battle mats, miniatures, whatever. The one I went to actually had a kitchen on premises. Their food was legitimately really tasty. I'd like to go back sometime.

"We can't make any art because we don't have professional digital art making tools!"  gently caress off, they could download any number of free programs like GIMP or ArtRage, or 3d programs like Blender or SketchUp. Virtually no excuse other than laziness and lack of talent to show something in their lovely pitch, something other than an awful logo. I mean how did they make that then? How can they make a lovely logo but no artwork whatsoever? God I hate those people.  And "we only have TWO computers!" What the gently caress more do they want? I bet there's only two people on the loving 'team' anyway. I did find this on their lovely youtube channel, so they have done some art:  But then of course one month later: quote:Sadly, we have bad news regarding Child's Play. Due to a coding bug that can't be fixed and left permanent damage to the game itself, we have sadly agreed to shut down the Child's Play project.

In planning process now.  edit: From their facebook page, I found this funny also: quote:HELP WANTED 14 or older?

I used to do the same thing but with a lovely "book trilogy", though crowdfunding luckily didn't exist at the time and the only evidence of my embarrassment is an old freeservers website. And by same thing I mean "try to hype a product that barely existed in consumable form outside of my ragged notebook". I think these kids have a lot more to worry about than having their game look professional (won't happen no matter how badly they want it to anyway. quote:Has anyone been in the mood to watch Pearl Harbor or Saving Private Ryan lately? #NewGameComing #Hints Is it just me or does every "gaming" wordpress site use this lovely "edgy" theme?

It would probably be more successful, since you can charge for drinks and bars succeed by keeping people in seats and drinking. I'd guess that they'd be a bit more successful if the games were a little more accessible and not a bunch of overly complicated games that require you to spend an entire day sitting with the overflow from the warhammer store. That however ruins the dream of playing with friends while eating deep fried goods outside of your mothers basement.

The oldass cool space game Starflight actually rewrote it's code in the executable every time you saved the game so it was way easy to gently caress something up and need to completely reinstall. But that was because computers at the time had less working memory than a modern wristwatch. Now there's pretty much no excuse for something like that other than blazing incompetence, and even in some kind of catastrophic failure why wouldn't you keep backups???

Also who the gently caress collects money for a kickstarter to make a game project and then doesn't keep AAAANY backups whatsoever? I mean honestly, that's just wrong. Lack of off-site backups is poo poo and it screwed over project zomboid, but they still had backups period. Not having any form of backup whatsoever would just be juvenile. Criminal negligence.
