Is cold lube such a loving huge issue they saw the market gap there? I would think that on cold locations it's just basic survival instinct to not have whoopie/fap if it comes down to use cold as hell lube.

I thought you just sort of rubbed it in your hands before you put it on someone's B-hole to let friction warm it up. I guess these dang milenials can't buttfuck without involving a web connected smart device.

I love how these kickstarters miss all the articles about all the Star Wars, Star Trek and Nintendo fan projects getting immediately shut down by lawyers.

Or maybe they're on indie-go-go and have flex funding and hope to run with the money. What does happen in that case? Flex funding only applies if you make it to the end of the "campaign" period without being shut down right?

Nope! Money is transferred (more or less) instantly, so you get whatever you've managed to scam raise by that point!

Wait...so I could set up an IndieGoGo with flex-funding, make it a campaign for a property I don't even own, and as long as I fly under the radar long enough, I get to keep the cash as it comes in?

What. the. hell. Indie-GoGo?

No wonder there's so many scammers. You don't even have to steal someone else's idea. Find something cheap out of Shenjen, dress up some videos like its some brilliant idea you came up with, flex fund and profit.

I mean, you can still get sued for the money by the people who gave you money or a copyright holder. That can cost you a bunch of money in lawyer costs alone even if they don't win against you.

Most of the time that won't happen, then again most of the time your fly by night flexible funding campaign only gets like $15.

It's up there with 'they can't arrest you if they're not wearing a hat.' Or 'Admiralty law'. Hilarious until you realise the person telling you is deadly serious.

Just to let everyone know, Lumberyard is free as long as you use your own server (basically so you could develop the game in-house) or Amazon's tiered server hosting. Basically, they've spent who knows how many millions of dollars on their own fork of the CryEngine, only to switch to a free version that's a gimme game engine for using Amazon's hosting.

Supposedly Lumberyard is very similar to the version of Cryengine they started with so theoretically they could apply all their alterations they made to Cryengine as a big patch to Lumberyard if they kept strict track of everything they had changed. Maybe they did, the ones steering that insanity are pretty stupid but the programmers may not be.

Yeah, I hope they'll preserve what they've already developed.

From the Kickstarter gaming thread:

http://www.pixelmagegames.com/

quote:

Hello Hero's Song Players,

It's with a heavy heart that I have to report that Pixelmage Games is going to be shutting down and we have ceased development on Hero's Song. For the last year, our team has worked tirelessly to make the game we've dreamed about making, and with your support, and the support of our investors, we were able to get the game into Early Access. Unfortunately sales fell short of what we needed to continue development. We knew going in that most startups don't make it, and as an indie game studio we hoped we would be the exception to that rule, but as it turned out we weren't.

We sincerely value our customers. You’re our most important focus and have been from day one. We’re going to offer 100% refunds to all of the people who bought Hero’s Song.

For our Indiegogo customers, please email refunds@pixelmagegames.com with your name and information about which one of the packages you bought so we can make sure you get your money back. Our team will respond to confirm we received your email and we'll make sure you get your refund quickly.

For players that purchased via Steam you will be able to claim your refund through the normal Steam refund process. Go to https://help.steampowered.com and you can get your refund right away.

Thank you for all the support you showed us. We're sorry things worked out the way they did, but we feel strongly that we gave it our all and we're proud of how far we came with the game. The fact that we weren't able to finish the game is painful, but the journey of making Hero's Song has been a great experience for us and we’re just sorry we couldn’t take it all the way.

Thank You,

The Hero's Song team

Solid business plan:
  1. Ask people to give you money to make a complete game.
  2. Sell an incomplete version of said game.
  3. Absolute bafflement as to why no one buys it.

At least they're able to offer refunds considering they started with an initial $2.8 million outside investment on top of the $94,000 they raised through flex funding.

If they were a competent studio I'd say this is because Crytek is in a very bad spot right now but for Star Citizen this is just par for the course.
