Is that...the Pokemon TCG with meme-based pokemon? There are so many copyrighted things in that game, I highly doubt the creator won't get sued/forced to cancel the project even if they "redesign the game a few times because we felt we could be susceptible to lawsuits". The gameplay is like an exact copy of the Pokemon TCG with energy cards, trainer cards and evolutions to make your monsters stronger.

Did anyone notice that the art isnt his? He is just grabbing stuff off DA with "Used as a concept drawing reference"

quote:

Some of the artwork for this pitch is currently being used as examples and inspiration for what the eventual artwork created by our artists will be. As the team finishes the final pieces, we will replace and show you exactly what we have and this should be on a regular basis in the coming days and weeks.
I have attempted to contact every artist whose work I have featured as part of this pitch and asked you if you would like to be part of the project. If you would prefer that your work was removed, please just let me know and we will just use it as inspiration. Alternatively, just reply to me on deviantART and we can talk numbers.

A list of the brilliant people who have inspired me thus far to transform this into a reality are:
Sugarnhoney (On board and responsible for Jessika and 2 others thus far)
Rehmiel (Responsible for Foxie and on board)
Meawsy (ready to be a part of this)
Slugbox
Evov1
Missnips
Alejandra Perez
Kaze Hime
MattBourne (sorry you don't want to be involved)
Magiscarf
Pupururu
If I have missed you off the list, please do let me know. Likewise if you're a talented artist and open for commissions, please get in touch as I'd love to get you on board.
Again, a big shout and thanks goes out to Slugbox. I know he's not the only sexy pokemon style artist in the world, but finding his work really helped envision what I meant by stage 2 "sexy" evolution.

Some people want to buy the IPs that Atari owns. Not a bad idea in and of itself, but of course it's Flexible Funding so they get to keep all the money they get whether or not they raise enough to actually buy anything.

Since someone else was asking advice here, I was wondering - do we have any kind of Goon kickstarter help thread? I mean, something for like advice and constructive criticism for campaigns before they're finalized and posted up?

I get the impression that their approval process is a quick once over to make sure the project doesn't break any of the rules* and won't get them sued and their secondary process for vetting projects is 1) wait for a social media shitstorm and then 2) decide whether the project in question makes KS Inc look bad. If they get enough complaints of a certain nature they'll cancel a project otherwise they just don't care. One the other hand they might knock back approval for 50 tentacle rape games every week and the two we saw just happened to sneak through, they're notoriously uncommunicative in regards to how they run the site so we can only guess at stuff like this.



* The "No 'fund my life' projects" rule seems to be pretty flexible as long as something is produced/created at the end of the project.

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with that, either. Kickstarters #1 priority is getting paid, and I think it has become apparent enough that tons of low quality projects are not going to make people shy away from crowdfunding in the short term (obviously long term has yet to be determined)

As long as their projects are not inherently dangerous to society, then I see no reason why they should not approve it. The only instance I can think of where Kickstarter let something actually dangerous get funded was that rape book, which they have admitted was a mistake and owned up to it, and I assume they will make sure nothing like that slips through the cracks again.

I'm surprised this hasn't been done before by at least conspiracy nutjobs. Would it be illegal to say, download this application, somehow automate the submission process and farm it out to people a-la bitcoin mining?

You could essentially create a wikipedia of FOYA documents on the cheap.

A THIRTEEN minute pitch video and the company logo and title screen take forty four seconds. Also the direction, camerawork and editing on the footage they have in the teaser is loving abysmal given that they expect nearly half a million to make this.

What is your status with Square Enix?
The team is very familiar with how Square Enix has dealt with fan projects in the past and has taken every step to avoid becoming a statistic. Several steps have been taken so far to give us the best possible chance of success.

- We have sent several letters and emails to many departments of SE which we know have been received and read. Square's general legal counsel has been aware of this project for many months.
- We have engaged in persistent dialog with the manager of SE online, who assured us that both the North American and European divisions were supportive of our efforts.
- We have had the series trailer actually appear on the SE website.
- We have acquired the music rights via a surrogate agency that gives us licensing permission with specific legal caveats.

While this functions as tacit approval on some levels, we understand that we are not officially endorsed by Square Enix. We are, and always have been, eager to speak with SE about our project and welcome open and honest communication. We think this project would benefit fans and Square alike. Adding YOUR voice through your donation helps us greatly.

Well they just raised $3,200,000 in one day.. so at this rate $32,000,000 isn't far off.

It's not even a huge leap as an adaptation, since FF7 was already kind set up as a movie, and you could probably edit cutscenes and footage from the game to make a coherent movie.

River City Ransom Underground has to have the worst pitch video I've seen to date. The gameplay footage looks good but everything else about it is awkward and annoying.

Cerevisiae posted:

There's a part where he struggles to make an after effect appear. A part where he acts out stuff that will be in the game like punching for "fighting moves" including sound effects, him putting on an effeminate voice and gesture for "shopping", and "wearing" 8bit glasses. And a part with him talking to an NES wearing a bowler, monocle, muscular arms, and a mustache. That's about the point I shut it off and decided I didn't really want a new River City Ransom game.

Given that their specs talk about being useable by a 250 lb adult? I'd say they're expecting kids AND adults are going to want to use one.
