I only really enjoyed it for the atmosphere/feel of VR and it got too much hassle to be worth the setup, then Star Wars: Squadrons came along and utterly scratched the VR space dogfight dream I'd had since I 1st tried VR. Next up devs please a single player campaign based VR space game basically more House of the Dying Sun with not so tight time limited missions.

I'm glad I didn't waste money on Star Citizen, now I can support a project that is worth my time: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playdreamworld/dreamworld-the-last-game-youll-ever-play

There's something really disconcerting about the art style of this game, it's weird. Given the default mannequin characters, my suspicion is that all the art assets are free/cheap licensed assets from somewhere generic.
This is dangerously close to how a game should be developed but I'm not sure how much credit I want to give them.

There is none. Apparently all of the assets in the videos are straight from the store.

I hope their Kickstarter goes as well as they imagine it will go.

It's like people are just out to grift with such low effort. If you've learned nothing, you should know that when you go into a Kickstarter you've got to have good graphics.

You don't need anything else really. Just some really nice art. Maybe some outlandish promises about what you can do with that art too.

Clearly they need to learn from the masters.

Imagine how much work it'll be just to add the individual attributes to every single piece of clothing in the game, including color, because mismatching your armor makes them dislike you.

$60,000 out of a $10,000 goal. 600 backers, so $100 per backer on average.

According to the description they've already secured funding from external sources - this Kickstarter is just being done as a PR stunt for visibility.

quote:

We know MMOs cannot be built with just $10K. We've secured the majority of our funding from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley. We know that we'll be able to deliver our Alpha and beyond with the money we already have!

The art is intensely low-effort. Looking further, they have basic grid construction (think Fallout 4/76 or Fortnite - and you can learn to build it with a UE4 tutorial), procedural maps (in a persistent MMO) and... terrain deformation, which totally won't be abused by griefers.

I think that game kinda deserves its own thread. I have a feeling it will gain some underground traction, in a bad way.

quote:

We will update the Alpha nearly every week, bringing more gameplay, content, and the changes you request. The Alpha Trailer is our roadmap, and over the next 6 months we aim to have everything you see in DreamWorld. An infinite procedurally generated world, a player-driven economy based on creating useful in-game items, unique biomes for endless exploration, mobs and bosses for you to take down, 10 full time devs, hundreds of thousands of players.

All of this in 6 months. I mean, surely there is no reason not to believe their claims?

the original bugsy

The question is why didn't those same Silicon Valley types handle the initial marketing push? Why showcase a mishmash of store bought assets with seemingly some store bought plugins (trails in the snow)? No meaningful gameplay, just a hint of what the player would be able to do. Ship and the airship look too good to have been done with their building tool and I won't even mention the city with the fireworks and horrible fps.

Good news!

Subverse (playing the role of Elite: Dangerous effectively) is about to be released I think. This means the official feud with Love Pledge (as the role of Star Citizen), can begin.

So I hope this means Love Pledge will be moving to 1.0 at this point with an official competitive update to let Subverse know they are still winning the race.

Because they probably didn't secure outside funding besides a small "loan" from one of their parents.

Subverse really did let the wind outta the <3P sails for a bit, but I'm back after an engine change and rewrite. Trying to write 2,000 words a day about corny thread memes and SC inside jokes does a number on a sober mind, lemme tell ya.

I am actually going to have to use my own steam account for that game I think, since nobody usually buys porn games on the shared account :lol:. I'll assume it's good but it's a thing.

I'll consider it an "investment" and nobody better try to yank their NPS rating or there will be words exchanged.
