I check the kickstarter page from time to time just for LOLs. About W2:
Guys, it turned out to be very interesting! I.e., this game, of course doesn’t have anything in common with either Fallout 1&2&T, or with After Reset RPG
I see what you did there, MrNixon!

Richard Nixon’s After Reset: Far Too Early Access Impressions

...

Other 90s-styled RPGs have used Early Access to fine effect. Divinity: Original Singauged opinions on that game’s opening area (a term which doesn’t quite convey the 15-20 hours you can easily spend there) and attributed “the level of polish and complexity present in [Original Sin’s] current form” to the Early Access process. Wasteland 2gathered feedback on their own Early Access beta, which consisted of the first half of the game.

So Early Access isn’t entirely the problem here. The problem is Valve’s casual attitude (new rules or not) about what gets on there, and studios taking this route before their game is even out of its foetal stages. I’m loathe to put the primary blame on anybody who pays for this and gets burned, because while there’d be some responsibility on myshoulders if I bought this, I’m also someone who writes about this stuff for a living. I’ve been around the Steam block a few times. I know the warning signs.

For people newer to Steam, used to more traditional exchanges of money for goods and services, the concept of shelling out $50 for a game with barely anything in it that might be out by 2018 is going to be pretty alien. They might not even consider it a thing which could happen. Until it does. Then it’s off to Valve’s byzantine customer support system for a shot at the Steam refund lottery.

At the time of writing, Richard Nixon’s After Reset gives you a menu screen, an intro, a character creation tool and a slow, boring tour around a small set of medical facility rooms. For $50. If it comes back later in the year with a little bit more game to show then it still probably won’t be worth $50, but at least it’ll be able to make a better case for itself.

The game might, eventually, turn out to be … something you can actually play. I don’t know, I can’t predict the future. But there’s also a significant chance that an RPG project as broad in scope as this one will not be completed. The Kickstarter (by its own admission) only raised funds for a prologue chapter, so who knows where the rest of the money will come from. Hopefully the studio aren’t banking on Early Access to pay their way through the rest. That way lies madness, probable failure and direct contravention of another Early Access guideline: “Don’t launch in Early Access if you can’t afford to develop with very few or no sales.”

If Richard Nixon’s After Reset is still around in 2016-2017 (assuming the world hasn’t gone through an actual apocalyptic event by that point,) maybe check back with it and see how the Early Access version is coming along. At the moment there’s very, very little to be gained by playing the game which couldn’t be learned by just looking at the screenshots in this article. It is, frankly, taking the piss.

Prototyping Cave Entrance. Guess which of original F is the inspiration

It will be shit (if it'll be ever finished, which is highly unlikely), but at least drama is mildly entertaining.

So does anyone still remember this game? Does anyone wonder why there is no updates in the thread or visible progress in EA? There is no info on its Steam page or official forums or groups in vk or facebook or twitter, kickstarter updates are private in "only for bakers" mode. To my surprise not so long ago I found a meaty article on russian tech\geek portal habrahabr by no less but mr.Nixon himself! It's an amazing inside of the disaster:
- The day before kcikstarter ended the lost lead programmer.
- THe guy who should collect money from campaign cheated for about 16k$
- Mr. Nixon found out his main level designer is an incompetent fuck and from now on will do design levels himself
- Mr. Nixon lost about a half of the game assets due an ssd failure because true professionals don't do backups. Blames Windows.
- By april of 2015 all kickstarter money had been spent
- Mr. Nixon was quite surprised that good programmers cost a lot, and he has no money.
Summary: Mr.Nixon, a very successful international businessman as he call himself is a dumbfuck.

Yeah, never trust anyone who tags his own name in front of his game's title. I mean, how obnoxious can one get.

Edit: Holy shit, people actually backed this at $720 on Kickstarter.

Who would have thought that a compulsive liar and egomaniac with no actual experience in game development would not single-handedly deliever his very own "fallout killer".
