Game News Dead State, DoubleBear's Zombie RPG, To Go Kickstarter

Their last update was four months ago. I don't think that really qualifies as disappearing.

@Ventilator
I dont see a difference with going pro and kickstarting in that sense.
I sure hope they make enough moneys with AoD but kickstarter can be seen as letting people preorder, simply investing but with buying of product included. Its not like people giving you money for a gift. Unless they really want to take that option.

Agreed on Dead State. I somehow have a feeling they know it too. If not a full big demo then something substantial and continuous that will erase most doubts of not completing it.

this. the cash will flow if there's something to show. ironically garagegames sell a zombie art pack for their torque engine. group buy anyone?

That's the thing with Wolfire -- they actually give people something for their money even if it is just an early alpha. If they haven't produced screenshots of basic things like the combat system and UI could they actually provide anything playable? Don't get me wrong, I've always liked the concept of Dead State and I'm very forgiving when people are programming games in their spare time but... if you're going to start asking for tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash... you need to produce something tangible.

White knights gotta white knight, and Princess Annie clearly needs Hiver's help.

Let me get this straight, in september you guys already had more than 3 years of development of DS, and had the idea to kickstart it. Then what you guys did? Lost momentum and paused development & updates.

Meanwhile, the 3 dudes were still working on SW:TOR. Then they quitted BioWare, created their own company, started working on Banner Saga, gave out some great interviews, released a trailer with great animation scenes & voice over and gameplay bits, launched their Kickstarter with great tiers rewards and ATM have 82/100k to make their game, a free multiplayer demo coming soon and a release date for Spring 2012.

Still on your high horses? You can have all the e-mails you want proving you had the idea first and the best game ever made sitting on your desk, but that doesn't mean anything if you can't make it happen and deliver it to the audience.

Say what you will about the 3 "unknown" dudes, that maybe they don't have any real gameplay, that they probably shot that video in a hurry using their iPhones, that they are name-dropping and jumped the bandwagon, whatever...I've seen that they are people that "make it happen", I believe that I'm going to get Banner Saga this year, play it and judge myself, and I can already see & understand Banner Saga in a much more complete way than I can see Dead State.

another internet retard...

10/10, obviously

lol

Some of you guys are seriously fucked in the head. Damn, take a deep breath. It's $15 bucks. Some of you are acting like the sky is falling. Get a grip.

whats funny dumbass? trying to show yourself as something else?

Assuming you're not trolling, please look up the definition of "entitlement" and explain how it applies to my decision not to fund Dead State's development.

assuming you have a brain try to understand i said nothing about it but your pathetic attempt at a dickhead insult as if anyone is interested in your moronic sense of failure as a man. -edit- AND psychological issues that trauma creates.

Fuck hiver, you need to get laid, or high. Calm down bro.

Good idea casanova. You should go back to your EA, Activision, Bethesda funded games. That's some quality shit there. I mean, why would you want to give experienced game developers $15 bucks, for what might be a truly kickass game. Apparently, Someone took your logic, and shoved it up your ass.

Just because we're forking out $10K for a shrine, does not mean we will throw our jewgold at just anything, also when did annie/brian last post anything about the project and now they're jumping on this revival or whatever you want to call it, I'm very sceptical but if they put up a kickstarter with good content in a month of two, three, that could work. Unless MCA is quicker, I'll put everything I got into that. (well not really but it would have priority)

Four months ago, which I don't think is that bad for an indie project.

Hiver been-a-ragin' lately.

I am calm, dont be stupid. and dont project your own frustrations arising from not being able to get laid onto someone else. not everyone suffers from your problems.
get a fucking grip. im not your bro fuckhead.

I can't tell you exactly when I got the game, I don't remember. I do remember reading a list from the developers detailing a bunch of awesome possible updates that never came to fruition, but I could be mistaken.

Besides the combat and the factions, which are pretty awesome and distinct, all of that stuff pretty much sucks. The characters are just stat spreadsheets. The world is static (besides what color the town name is), boring, and empty. The quests are boring. And while the combat and factions are phenomenal, they haven't been noticeably improved since I started playing, excluding Warband's added faction and minor gameplay tweaks. Everything apart from the combat is either dull, grindy, or dull and grindy.

I'm not saying it's a bad game. I'm glad I bought it and I put a lot of very enjoyable hours into it. But I expected the game to be much further along several years and two paid expansions ago.
