Good point about Codename Iceman, Aeschylus
You can pledge $1 or $100,000 -- support the project as much or as little as you would like. Whatever you choose to pledge, you will receive a DRM free copy of the game when it ships.
Our campaign has four funding milestones; $25K, $90K, $250K, $400K. At $25K we will begin building a playable prototype, which will be freely released to all backers. $90K will allow us to build a vertical slice. When we reach $250K we will begin building the game demo and at $400K we will build the full game.
He should have put some kind of threshold of at least five dollars, this way really seems begging more than crowdfunding.$1 for a DRM free copy? What is this, crowdfunding via Humble Bundle?
Anybody play Blue Force? I think I quit sometime after the boat scene early on, but it wasn't very good. It was mostly just... sad. Like it made me sad.
goddamned cluster fuck of tom-fuckery. Who organized this Kickstarter? Did they not look at others? Did they not go out the forums where their fans might lurk and see what they think? $30 for a digital copy? I can get a digital blowjob for $30, thank you.
It still works that way:I hate how kickstarter turned into the exact same bureaucratic thing that everyone initially rejected and hated. People forget how the whole crowd-funding thing was a hippie/hipster thing where someone comes in a video, tells the world about his visions and dreams and asks them to support that dream. It's basically a place where we pay so that someone else can become big. The rewards always came as an optional thing, the big reward a kickstarter user got was making the world a better place by helping the indies. Cheesy, but that's more or less the truth.
I call this the Guido Syndrome, old timers jumping on the bandwagon for the money and hoping to rise straight in the AAA+ gaming industry with popamole concepts thanks to nostalgic gamers.Oh, yeah, because Robert Lindsley and Jim Walls are some dreaming, hungry young indies who've never had a chance to make their game and show their dream.
By the wy guys don't piss off Blackthorne, he will probably deliver the best Sierra-like game of the bunch.
