Klaus Kinski posted:They have at least released a gameplay video of wasteland and it does make sense to get this stuff lined up way before your current project ships. Still, even the artists working on wasteland aren't going to have time to work on this any time soon which does make me wonder why they launched so early. Brother None posted:Skepticism is warranted. Honestly, we'd like to delay the Kickstarter to after Wasteland 2 is out and settled and we know what kind of reception it's got, we'd like to do that, but from our perspective it's not all that feasible. We've got writers, Kevin Saunders, concept artists, people working at inXile know who don't work on Wasteland 2 (at least, not much) and whose work can't be paid out of WL2's budget because all of WL2's budget goes to WL2 (naturally). We're not big enough to self-fund the pre-production of this game, but we don't want to fire all these people and then just hope they're still there when we roll into the new production. Not to mention we'd then create another pre-production period after Wasteland 2 where our programmers would have nothing to do. Starting pre-production now and rolling over when WL2 is out, patched and modkitted up creates the most natural workflow, and will prevent unnecessary delays and firings.

Young Freud posted:I know they probably won't reach $31 million but holy poo poo. Yeah it's maybe worth a laugh but otherwise a linear extrapolation of the funding curve is valueless.

Liska posted:I like that comments are already disabled for the video. Either it was done preemptively, or things got out of hand that quickly. They were disabled preemptively along with ratings.

AxeManiac posted:That new ultima game looks awful. I know Ultima games have never really looked good, but man, it is terrible. The font looks terrible, the characters look cheap. I'm not too thrilled about it, not sure it is going to get funded. It'd be a fairly atypical kickstarter for it to reach 40% within a day but not the full sum in thirty. I guess SHAKER would be the closest example to the contrary, but their total before cancelling was below 250k, and they were asking for as much as Garriott is.

Waffleman_ posted:They got like millions of dollars in another Kickstarter last year. Hundreds of thousands, not millions But that's besides the point. I'm not sure what their game is with this.

Chunk posted:The game is that by setting it at $10, they're essentially making it into a flexible funding indiegogo campaign. Acting like they're just trying to mess with Kickstarter is being far too generous. That's what I meant. Is it a stupid joke or them being scummy? Probably both. It looks like there's really absolutely nothing to a KS review beyond checking for porn or the like before it's allowed to go live. Which I guess is fine, but it allows for this sort of crap to exist, never mind "$829".

Elissia posted:Who the gently caress thinks of making a $10 Kickstarter project before putting up a page on their site with a button to donate money to this thing? Oh wait the donation button would probably take more in fees herp derp how stupid of me. Nah it probably wouldn't cost more, but a $10 kickstarter (or a kickstareter in general) that's an excuse for selling merchandise comes with a whole lot more attention.
