On the other hand Reaper comes out fairly well, but that's not because it's a better model; it's just that Darkblack McBoneson's color scheme is easier to get right, and his animations are largely pretty rigid and reserved in Overwatch anyway so he translates well into SFM movies.

Well, aside from them not being able to animate Death Blossom without slowing it down by a factor of ten

Can't really look right now at the link, but if it's the Homestuck game that was a thing for a while, didn't that get wrecked because the guys that ended up making the new King's Quest turned out to be thieves and hosed them over?

Kickstarter has plenty of success stories but plenty of failures to go with them. The lesson to learn from this isn't to never back projects but rather really look into them before doing so. For example, don't back a game with no actual development plan that's just being pitched by a bunch of "ideas guys".

Having completed darkest dungeon, I can safely say the game was very good and fun if you are not bad at video games, and the final boss was great.

The second darkest dungeon level sucked though.

fool of sound
Oct 10, 2012
Actually, it was a repetitive, grindy chore with mostly fairly uninteresting classes and bosses (though the final boss is pretty good). The latter Etrian Odyssey games are basically the same idea done much better; they're still grindy, but have way more enemy and player variety and strategic depth.

e: And still quiet challenging!

One of the problems is that Kickstarter projects typically don't have a legal budget and have much less funding than traditional productions, so they're prime targets for scammers to "contract" their "work" out for much less money than a real company would ask for. The scammers then embezzle the money and settle for a paltry sum, since the projects have no lawyers to tell them to gently caress off and sue them into oblivion.

In general, never back a project that's not from an established company (e.g. Obsidian and inXile) and doesn't have a functional prototype (e.g. Undertale).

People still put the blame solely on whats her face for how it turned out.

Anyway, I'm almost done with the .hack GU series, so to celebrate never playing these games again here's a picture of Haseo as a wolf I found on google.
