DoctorTristan posted:There seems to be enough interest; maybe a better poster than I could try making a separate thread for the Sarkesian videos? I thought one was linked a page or two back and it was already closed. I really don't think it will go over well. Hell, even I have a hard time not spouting stupid bullshit against detractors to the idea and I'm typically very uninterested in debates online.

He's playing fast and loose with the source material isn't he? Also the visual aesthetic looks garbage on the one he did but has yet to release. Just look at the shot of guy and girl about to kiss (you remember that part in the Tell Tale Heart right?) I bet he turns Fall of the House of Usher into a zombie flic.

It's like that summer I lost like 30 pounds playing DDR. Now the "idea" is cool, but it'll come down to it's implementation which could be totally crap.

Admiral Heklar posted:Game developers have a long history of monumental facepalm moments like this. The guys who are buying this on steam aren't like the guys form the kickstarter page, they bought it to support the development of a cool game and get some cool merch in the process, the guys crapping all over this on steam are just looking for a game to play and $90 is a hell of a price tage for an unfinished game in their eyes. I can see their p.o.v dont necessarily agree with it though. Kickstarter is where you donate to a project you want to see completed. The bonuses that are awarded are just that. The devs seem to have make the mistake of confusing donation value with purchase value. It is not worth 90 dollars for a customer to playtest your game, but it might be worth 90 dollars for a believer to get the same access. When I saw that price I was kind of shocked, not knowing the background of the project. I thought we were finally moving away from games costing stupid amounts of money.

TTBF posted:I think this has less to do with developers being confused about value and more to do with developers not wanting to piss off the people who paid $90 to their Kickstarter for early access. If they then turn around and give other people early access for less than $90, those backers would very justifiably be upset. That's not how Kickstarter is supposed to be, but I guess that is how people see it. The donators did not spend 90 for the game, they donated 90 and just happened to get a 20-30 dollar value.

Verdugo posted:Pickup artists and seddit and other reprehensible bullshit has existed for ages before this kickstarter, with similar outrage and then nothing. Once the media storm blows over, it's going to lapse back into disinterest. Because the past has never changed, why would the future? That's the point you are making and I hope that putting it into plain words shows you how dumb it is.

Rapdawg posted:As I Goon, this was the first place I picked to advertise. I'm not the artist and art is the main reason we are Kickstarting this project, but I'm not going to sit here and defend my project piece by piece. I'm going back to my non-stop working to make the Kickstarter page better. No matter how many times I looked over the preview, and how many people I showed it to and got constructive comments on, there are so many things I'm frantically working to ad and change. The concept is interesting enough but there's some issues you should work on. One is no clear example of prior work. How do I know you CAN take a project from beginning to end? Or as VN's are naturally text reliant what about examples of writing? I hate to say it but naming your ship the Yellowjacket, I know is a reference, but makes it seem like a cheap Firefly knock off. There's very little solid evidence here of anyone on the team being able to excel at this kind of project. It currently screams "idea" rather than "impending product". If you've read the thread I know you'd know better than to put up an "idea's man" kickstarter, but you really need to offer evidence to the contrary. Also it's odd the art that IS shown because the art on the portfolios of the artist's is far better. Not sure if those are wip or if the artist's just didn't give it their all. I would seriously hope that the provided art is scrapped because it screams Amateur wannabe Japanese VN. The kind that has spelling errors, detailed bloodtypes, and accidental inescapable dialog loops. The fact is that Anime Art, is not nearly as popular in the US. It also does not have the same connotations. In Japan it's just a feature of the landscape, here it can be actively distracting. You'll like a VN despite the art. Not because of. You want to make a Western VN? Go with art that's a bit more western. Maybe less giraffe necks. You don't even have video of a prototype, the example given is of someone's bedroom. There are tons of VN Makers out there. Even if that'd not suit your needs and you'd want to use a custom engine, you still could have put some of your assets into one just to properly show it off. Honestly, you should have linked your post content here I feel. I know at least I'd have been more than happy to give these comments before you went live.

Noni posted:I'm sorry. I'm bitter. I'm sad that there's not a big festival for science nerds in the middle of the desert. We wouldn't even give a poo poo about the heat, because everyone would be wearing home-made cooling suits made from copper tubing and lego mindstorms. Instead of a burning man, there would be a giant neon Carl Sagan pointing to the stars and people would ceremonially walk up to Carl every night and charge their electronics devices. Please be our prophet and lead us into the desert.

"Dog House posted:To date, we have been faced with many risks and challenges. The largest risk has been our financial investment in this business. We have put a lot of our finances at risk to avoid taking on investors or bank loans. The least amount of overhead, the better it will be in times of slow business. As with any business there are good times and there are not so good times. We have strong confidence in ourselves and our products and know that, if we persevere, our Hot Dog Stand will thrive. 2nd. challenge being satisfying the health inspector... if he finds a problem I will correct it, but I really don't foresee a problem, because my county's inspector is working with me closely, to be sure I complete all of his requirements... he knows that i'm struggling and really wants me to succeed, I believe that truly ..the last challenge is wastewater hook up.. I have'nt found the existing sewer main on the property yet, but I know its there, and the City of Reform will hook up that service. So many people start restaurants by taking out massive loans against their property and stuff, this guy is actually doing everything he can to NOT gently caress up his life and family's future.

Anoia posted:The folks behind Community are generally wryly amused by all the weird fan videos the show inspires, not sure if NBC/Universal approves or even cares at this point. That's part of why it's not called Inspector Spacetime and instead has that absurd long name is to poke fun that they were told not to use the name. Also, it's in a strange spot as a fan show because the in show clips of Inspector Spacetime starred the same guy.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah there's this and there's one other one too that somebody made which actually hovers, but it has to be cooled by liquid nitrogen constantly so you can't use it for more than like 5 minutes tops at a time and it costs a fortune just to use it. Not sure it was copper, but it was definitely confined to a rail placed just under the skate surface, if I'm thinking of the same one that required liquid nitrogen. We'll never hit the future at this rate
