I think i've seen that porn movie before.

 

[Animal]

Porn movie...

That's it! They should kickstart a porno, following the events of the video!

The 'should'?, what do you mean?

 

[Animal]

What?

They raise money to pay the actresses to do a porno, where they go to the bar, present a proof of concept for the game and bang the chicks afterwards.

It could have bukakke, double penetration and watersports.

If the actresses aren't available, they can contact the pornstars from DnD with pornstars.

They can even connect this to gameplay as showcasing the effects of casting web, flanking an enemy, and a water domain cleric casting water breathing.

Pooncrest.

I have no idea what direction they'll take in a redone pitch video---I doubt they'll double down per se, but how they'd springboard from here onto something better while maintaining any sort of standing boggles the mind.

I guess the only thing they could do that'd draw more nigh-universal ire is edit together pitch vids from successful Kickstarters thus far and overlay a dub critiquing them and puffing themselves up?

I do not like forum doxxing, because here in forum or in any other forum we are saying very fast things that we can later regret, and therefore i think that the moto should be the same as: What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas.

Normally, I'd agree, but if someone's going to set themselves up as a moral authority, while being a revisionist lying hypocrite, then I feel that revisionist lying hypocrisy should be exposed.

There are two schools of thought that could discuss the moral ethic here, the relativists and the absolutist. You my dear belong to the relativists, making the moral ethic case and context dependent. I belong to them absolutists, saying that a person cannot pick and choose where the moral ethics applies, because the moral ethics are the goal them self and even if there are cases where it hurts the moral ethics are a standard that should always apply.

The Dev team involved in this piece of shit fine game

Well that explains the forced female protagonists. They should go get a girl whose name doesn't end in .jpg and give us proper character creation.

Apparently this is over? The money is barely coming in, there's a backers only update, and people in the comments are all "awwww, sad to see this go" so I guess they're packing up and going home?

I'm sad too. I wanted to see them do it (not enough to give them money though, obviously), in a strange way. It would have probably been very good, not in quality, in fact it would have probably been shit, but in its effect. Horrible story, shitty combat, everyone screaming at them, game journalists deploring the misoginistic attacks on yet another gem, the Citizen Kane of RPGs, comparable to masterworks like Gone Home and Sunset, and SJW criticizing some small, inconsecuential aspect of the game ("look at that joke in that book in that shelf all the way to te back!" for being ableist, ageist, thransphobic and fetishizing lesbians (which would probably be true, they ARE neckbeards after all.).

indeed.

We'll have to wait for a new, more enlightened age.

I don't suppose there's anybody here who backed who could copy-paste this for us: https://www.kickstarter.com/project...oware-devs-fuse-story-and-tacti/posts/1319703

Just for you, I pledged a buck. It's not like it'll ever be collected.

First off, huge thanks to the 1,300+ backers that got us to 11% of our goal. We’re very thankful for all the support. Apologies for the lack of updates but as we’ve been working to address the shortcomings of our campaign we’ve come to grips with the reality that we’re too far behind at this point to recover. We had a lot of marketing scheduled to hit this week, but even with a significant boost at this point we know it won’t be enough.

We’ve learned a ton about running this campaign and where Mooncrest stands as a project and what we need to do to take it to the next level. We wanted to let our loyal backers know first that we’ll be canceling our Kickstarter in the next 24 hours. If you are a first time backer on Kickstarter (and we know there are quite a few of you–thank you!) there is no need to cancel your pledge as you will not be charged. Staying on as a backer for Mooncrest will allow us to keep you updated on our progress through updates here on Kickstarter and will let you provide us with feedback going forward. We don't consider this the end, just a new beginning.

I won’t go into a full post mortem yet, as I’ll save that for the final update, but our strategy coming in was to present a campaign where we were upfront about the game we wanted to create and not over promise what we could deliver. On that end we were successful, but our biggest failure was presenting the type of video that we did as it not only sent the wrong message, but it didn’t tell anyone about the game and most people assumed we were trying to fund a game based on an idea. For all intents and purposes that’s what it looked like and, hindsight being 20/20, it’s pretty embarrassing realizing how badly we dropped the ball. To all the people that believed in us and wanted us to see this through, we are truly sorry and hope you’ll stick around and give us a second chance.

We’ve spent the majority of the weekend licking our wounds and reading forum posts, tweets, emails, and messages about Mooncrest and where we went right and where we went wrong. We would like to request one more thing of our loyal backers and that is to add your voice and provide us with feedback on our Kickstarter and let us know what you liked and didn’t like about the campaign. Also, if you know anyone that would be remotely interested in Mooncrest, please let them know as we’ll need about 10x as many backers the next time we bring Mooncrest to Kickstarter to be successful. Lastly, I’ll leave you with the mock up footage we were putting together from our current “pill and stick” combat system.

Lots of love to all of our loyal backers out there. Hope you'll stick with us as our journey continues!

Actually, they could still have made it, so either they do not handle pressure well, or they were hoping to shoot past the official goal into million dollar territory. Maybe both (?).

Anyway, since this project's most important contribution into video game history (pitch video) has been preserved, losing the rest is not that big of a deal.

 

[prodigydancer]

the next time we bring Mooncrest to Kickstarter

 

[HobGoblin42]

At least, they realized how bad their video actually was. Next time, just place two gay men in that game store - much bigger target audience out there.

 

[JamesDixon]

My favorite part is that the artwork doesn't actually match the game test footage or the pitch video. They show the female character wearing a chain bra that leaves everything exposed....

 

[felipepepe]

They probably just bought that chick and the skeleton from the Unity Store.

Also, love how stamina bar = DARK SOULS COMBAT BRO!

 

[Surf Solar]

I wonder how much money they lost hiring those two 'gamer gurl' models.

 

[Roguey]

or they were hoping to shoot past the official goal into million dollar territory.

Yeah, I wouldn't rule out the old "ask for a third of what you really need."

 

[Irenaeus II]

I wonder how much money they lost hiring those two 'gamer gurl' models.

Probably $300 each, going by porn rates.

 

[Darkzone]

Just for you, I pledged a buck. It's not like it'll ever be collected.

But i given them one thing: they have told their backers 24h before they cancel their campaign, that they are going to do it. Not like this SDS from TSI.

Probably $300 each, going by porn rates.

In USA? Really? This is cheaper than prostitutes for nearly the same service. Not that i would have used such a service, because i too good looking, but you know someone who lived at St.Pauli knows the prices for Hamburg St.Pauli sex workers.

I'm not sure, just some thing I read from SMA on shoutbox, who can probably explain this stuff better. Something about $300 per shot in porn.
