I predict that once the drama dies down the internet will realise it's just a game. I look forward to getting halfway through, switching to something else in my Steam library, and forgetting about it.

It won't be as bad as its worst detractors claim and it won't be as good as the defensive response to those detractors will claim.

I found their boards and account management stuff so annoying I never bothered to download the beta. It's a little more of a hassle for anyone who did a direct paypal rather than through KS, as I did.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Sorry duder, you're going to need to spend a lot of time making the UI. Brah nah UI isn't protected by like IP laws and poo poo right? Just base your UI on something you've played that was already really good. Actraiser, Crystal Chronicles, Fallout for something more recent and in a different visual perspective. I mean yeah, it'll take a lot of work to put together well, but it's not something that you really need to make up from scratch. Plenty of good reference materials to work with

Empire of the Undergrowth got funded this time, they still have about 3 weeks left too so a stretch or two may be reached as well.

 So happy to have hit our first stretchgoal yesterday, that's the Ultra Fully Voicedone, and that means some very talented goons will have a lot of voices to record for Gibbous! SA's been great as far as quality affordable voice acting. Now reaching for EFIGS, fingers crossed!

Lynn and the Spirits of Inao (which was part of the Gibbous latest update's shoutouts) looks very pretty and really close to the Ghibli Studios animation/ character drawing style. Not sure about the platforming bit (which is apparently a main part of the gameplay). A demo would really help their case, or at least give a better idea about how it would control. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bloomylight-studio/lynn-and-the-spirits-of-inao/ Thimbleweed Park's latest update show an updated UI, where the verbs are now overlayed over the background without blocking the bottom part of the screen (which is an optional feature). It does look way better this way! Also, the estimated release got pushed back to Janurary 2016. https://blog.thimbleweedpark.com/stateofthegame3

The game had a whole different feel. It took me around 10 seconds of walking around to realize that the whole game needed to be like this. He'll accidentally discover left-click use/right-click examine next, any day now!

Very pretty, but yeah, no demo, no previous projects from the team, and no one with the job title of programmer means no backing from me.

Yeah, in their "where is the money going" section quote:Hire a new full time programmer, as the one we had until now unfortunately had to leave us, precisely because we could no longer remunerate him That doesn't sound good. The game looks beautiful, and if it were a short film, I'd be on it. But without a programmer, you don't have a game.

I just threw in for the Midair (tribesalike game) campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/archetypestudios/midair I've seen reddit comments reacting to this along the lines of "why don't people innovate, what's up with just copying old games" and I can kind of sympathize, but there are in fact studios out there trying (with varying success) to do brand new stuff even in the FPS genre. I like that, but I also really like seeing people who are old enough to have been fans of games like Q3, Tribes, and Myth get "all growed up" and become developers trying to recapture something essential about those games that maybe other developers haven't nailed (and so we get projects like Reflex, Midair, and Deadhold). Also I dig their art direction!

Not a Kickstarter no, and I'm not sure if they're going to eventually do that or not. Just mentioning it as a title-in-development that is the sort of thing I was talking about. Website is at http://www.deadhold.com/ but most activity for now is on their Discord server.

I think there's some inner drama in the Tribes community that spilled over from elsewhere that we can't hope/don't want to understand.

The thing about a Tribes game remake is that you need to do a lot of very expensive, very specific stuff to make a proper Tribes sequel - bases, equipment customization, multi-person vehicles, dynamic firing arc indicators for targeting lasers and marker beacons, etc. If you just make "FPS with skiing and guns that aren't hitscan" you might as well stop because a "Tribes" game that does just that already exists - it's Hi-Rezes Tribes game. A new Starsiege or Earthsiege would be amazing though - and it's probably the only genre that didn't get a kickstarter yet (Bioware get off your asses and Kickstart the Shattered Steel sequel you promised ten years ago already).

Holy moly, I never seen a final push like Arcadian Atlas', EVER! https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1266693296/arcadian-atlas-tactical-rpg-inspired-by-classics/#chart-daily Check out that next to final day! And since I'm posting here, wanna send out a HUGE thank you to all the goons who supported Gibbous. We pulled through and hit 3 stretchgoals! almost $56k out of a $40k ask. https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/777841902/gibbous-a-cthulhu-adventure/#chart-daily At least 34 backers and $600+ from forums.somethingawful.com, you all rock, y'all know who you are! Full time game developer now and it's thanks to you guys. Woot!!!

Yeah, I was all doom and gloom over in its thread on the TIGForums. Never would have thought it would make it. Last day is 200% of the first day. Crazy! They announced signing an agreement with 2K to include Booker and Elisabeth from Bioshock Infinite in their game in one of the last days. That must have given them a huge boost. I wonder what their funding would've been like if they had managed to sign that agreement before the kickstarter? No news outlets had time to pick up on it the way they did it.

Does anyone remember '90s Arcade Racer, the crowdfunded indie racing game for PC/Wii U that immediately dropped off the map once Nicalis signed on as publisher? Well, it looks like they've cancelled those versions and are releasing it as "'90s Super GP" for PS4/XB1: http://angelcomm.net/games/90s-super-gp
