Boo! Considering some of the wrestling games that have cropped up on Rustlemania, it was in the realm of possiblity.

One bad experience means every other kickstarter isn't worth it ever? That's a real bummer of a mindset. I've backed dozens of kickstarters and this is the only one I've had issues with, though it will still come out and probably be fine.

I didn't want to go into every bad experience I had. I also backed Double Fine's games. The Homestuck game that (allegedly) had its funds stolen by the Fine Gentlemen and Shantae which I still don't think is anywhere near done. For every Undertale there's like 3 other projects that seems to go sideways and I'd rather just wait on the finished game.

This isn't even a relatively bad Kickstarter experience in the first place. At least MN9's devs put out regular updates and the game is on track to be released at some point.

Kickstarting is pretty much in the same place as pre-ordering a game for me. I don't do it unless I'm almost 100% sure it's going to get released and that I will like the end product.

One bad experience is often all it takes to turn people away from lots of things, not just Kickstarter!

I'd be pretty pissed if my money looked like it was going to waste on someone else's project, too. I donate to charities only after I've researched their use of that money, and for me, Kickstarters are basically charities. If I don't feel confident about my investment, I don't make the investment.

Wait what happened to the Homestuck game?

All I know is that it was a thing that was being made and nothing else and haven't exactly looked into it as I'm not interested in the game itself.

Supposedly the company responsible for it took the money to make the King's Quest episodic game, forcing the dude who makes the comic to make the game himself.

If I recall correctly, remember that King's Quest game made by The Odd Gentlemen?

Supposedly they took the homestuck money to make KQ instead.

They also supposedly did the same thing to some game Neil Gaiman contracted them for (took that money to also work on king's quest instead)

This is the most recent update on the Homestuck game. The game itself was recently redesigned from a 3D adventure game to a 2D one. Regardless of the veracity of the rumors why The Odd Gentlemen were dropped, the development of the game went from contracting a professional developer, to setting up a new dev studio in New York, to closing the new studio and switching to decentralised development.

Hivebent seems like a Skullgirls-level tale of developmental fuckery, with Hussie on the hosed side. There's even this weird period of radio silence with sporadic "hey, we're still here" updates. MN9 is this weird delayed schedule that doesn't make sense. Then you have Tale of Games' pulling the Nicalis official statement and Barkley 2 will never come out ever.

I changed my mind, Woolie and Pat should totally read through Naruto, I need that podcast segment.

E: listening to them comment and theorycraft based on Part 1 and scraps of Boruto info is like listening to someone do it for Bloodborne's nightmare based only on the lecture hall and the Childhood's End cutscene

Matt I hope you're dusting off your original Xbox because The Bible Game features music from the hottest Christian artists including TobyMac, Newsboys, Kutless, Jeremy Camp and more. A biblical scholar such as yourself should appreciate this game.

Could be worse. Frog Fractions 2 still hasn't come out (I think) and if it ever does come out, we might not even know!
