Ok, if it's possible to outdo that in amateurishness and badness, I'm not sure I really want to see it. fake edit: oh, the video and project page were done by a cat? I guess it's impressive for a cat.

Richard Garriott is making a new game: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/portalarium/shroud-of-the-avatar-forsaken-virtues-0 To balance it out, here's something completely idiotic: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/460594218/the-rock-string-for-iphone

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's basically placeholder art, they just wanted something to show off for the Kickstarter/at SXSW.

Chewbot posted:Color me cynical, but while DF:A, Wasteland, Project Infinity, Star Citizen and Shadowrun are all looking great or at least pretty good, this is just dismal. If it's placeholder art they should have gone with no art. Oh, I'm not defending the current looks (which are pretty bad), just clarifying what they've been saying about this valid concern. I've bounced off of Ultima games time and again, so I have no vested interest in white-knighting this project, and I'm not a backer. As you say, it'll likely get funded anyway, and it's not like people can't go buy it when it comes out.

Pyroclastic posted:I've reported those colored ziploc bags, those steel cups, and a couple other projects that were clearly just buying poo poo from Chinese wholesalers and making a project to profit hugely from them I don't know about the others, but the ziploc guy was up front about that -- the minimum amount you have to buy of each color was like 1000 or 5000, so if you only want/need a few of each, and are willing to pay the premium... Anyway, it was right in the project description, so Kickstarter must've known and judged it ok.

It is like all the comfort technology luxury items I could think of for something like a casual camping trip with some friends or to party out in the boonies put into a single package to offset the size of the AC unit (obviously it isn't for serious hikes or anything like that) Problem is the base unit doesn't even come with a battery, and the $180 battery has 800 charge cycles.

They refused an offer for a $740 million buyout from Citizen last year, then refused a $70 million offer from Intel after the Pebble Round didn't really go anywhere, and now they're bankrupt. It's not "a blow to crowdfunding", it's bad business practice.
