I used to play a bunch of JRPG shit on top of my cRPG stuff, but that "Tales of" series literally has the worst combat system of all time. It makes RTwP look like chess. Maybe they got better since the first couple?

Maybe you should stick to chess, grandpa.

 

[EG]

Should have went with "Tales of GAME" to capture that annoying, , hip, modern punk image the kids are so wild for today, rather than a bizarre . . . what ever that is.

Enjoy your quarter-million.

So ahhh how's Grimoire doing in comparison, Cleve?

I woke up like 10 minutes ago and that was the first thing I saw. Unbelievable.

Also you guys have no idea how many emails you get while you're asleep. It's going to take forever to answer all these emails.

I'll get to all the questions and comments!! But thank you everyone, I cannot believe that we reached our goal in less than a day. It is mindblowing to me. We really thought we'd be struggling at $5000 at the end of day 1. I can't thank everybody enough.

PS -

If you ever run a Kickstarter, 75% of your questions will be "is there going to be a Mac port?"

 

[Jack]

BOOM! SHAKA! LAKA!

[Kosmonaut]

Heh, nice to see that this reached its goal so quickly. cboyardee: How much money do you and your team need to keep working on the game for a full year?

 

[eric__s]

We only asked for enough to work on this full-time for a few months, not for a whole year. The more money we get, the longer we'll be able to work on this full-time, which means the larger and better the game will be. We'll be posting stretch goals later today hopefully but we honestly did not expect to reach the goal so soon.

Congrats on an excellent start of a (hopefully at least a 1000% successful) kickstarter campaign. Let me ask you 2 questions that have nothing to do with a Mac port.

First, is there going to be a Linux port?

And are you planing on starting a PayPal option for people with Amazon challenged cards?

 

[Hobo Elf]

Holy 80's cyberpunk, Batman! Backed and psyched as fuck for this game.

Fake edit: The OST is good. Even my wife likes it.

We're still discussing a Linux port. I personally don't know what all is involved, but there is a possibility. I don't want to string you along, assume that there won't be one until we make an announcement. About PayPal, yeah, we do have an account but we didn't want to put it out there for security reasons until we'd actually met our goals.

Yeah, that soundtrack is great, and you can tell the composer is a fan of Donkey Kong Country.

Hiring the real Charles Barkley to endorse the game and dress up in cheap looking cyber-inplant props and do cutscenes.

It would be glorious if those cutscenes looked like early 90's dawn of fmv sequences, pixallated, and done on a green screen over a badly animated background.

Or even up to emperor of dune level.

Yes obvious greenscreen is mandatory. Charles will be the only human in the cutscenes, everything else will be poorly rendered 3d characters and backgrounds.

One scene will be Charles doing a rap like 'dont copy that floppy' for copy protection.

One scene will be him throwing some b-balls with cumbersome cyber-implants prosthetics.

Another will be him swinging a rifle toward the camera saying 'Come get some motherfuckers!' (Could be in the attract screen)

Unpledged.

In honor of this my friend and I played the original in entirety last night (took about 3-4 hours counting smoke breaks and at some point drawing up plans to see Wintersun this weekend), we were constantly talking about how the soundtrack can be great at times and pretty damn jRPG at others (which I'm assuming was the point).

And then fucking FEAR AND AWWWE IN YOUR EYES SHOWING YOUUUU WHAT YOU CANTT SEEEE

Seriously man fuck you what the fuck were you thinking (directed at Ian Gillan)

So Guido should learn from this that it's all about flashing gimmicks.

A good presentation is a good presentation is a good presentation.

Shocking.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Didn't save Shaker.

And look at the Android console.

 

[MaskedMan]

Henkel should've made a nameless one bodypillow.

 

[almondblight]

A good pre-Kickstarter media blitz, a great presentation, gameplay footage, a pitch that gives people an idea of exactly what they're shooting for. Also much less of a break between their last game and the Kickstarter.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

It all comes down to that Matt Chat video where the artist who worked on the Terminator 3 videogame quoted a producer who said that you should be able to flaunt "For the first time ever, (insert gimmick)" with any videogame in order to be able to market it.

Guido has opposed that gimmicky attitude, and instead has just laid bare his intellectual explanations as to why the gameplay systems in his game will be better, and look where that got him: all the kids and hip bloggers just snoozed.

Even the Conquistador game with an intelligent premise and Legends of Eisenwald barely met their goal.

So it's false to say that Kickstarter is all about the indie, it's not any better than regular publishers in this regard. Can you imagine a kickstarter for a paradox game or a world war 2 turn based game getting funded?

It's not about saying that Barkley 2 doesn't have a lot of very clever and deep aspects, but you guys are kidding yourselves if you think it's not all about "do the Dew!" and "dude, it's gonna be AWESOME!"
