Project GODUS, the ultimate Peter Molyneux fiasco

[skuphundaku]

Was anybody wondering about how it would be for Peter Molyneaux to do a KS pitch? Here he is: Project GODUS - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22cans/project-godus - "GODUS is a delightful reinvention of the god game from 22cans and Peter Molyneux, who created the genre." - funding goal: £450,000 ($720,000)

This is going to generate some MAJESTIC bitching, butthurt and fanboy circlejerking.

Discuss!

Where are the other 18 cans? False advertising.

And he'll get the money. Fuck the guy and his cube. Scratch that, fuck the guy with his cube.

How much from that funding will be used on Molyneux's drug therapy to help him keep it real?

 

[Metro]

Yeah I'm really sure he needs money. $30 game tier? I'll get it for $10 on sale.

There's no cure on this planet in this universe for what he's having.

 

[ohWOW]

Aren't all his games shit?

 

[Metro]

No, he made some good ones (or at least was part of a team that made some good ones) twenty years ago.

Reinvent Dungeon Keeper you morons.

"Gift a pledge!"
That's more brilliant than the game idea. I expect more Kickstarters will use that in the future.

Molyneux has kind of become this anti-gaming figure for me. I would never pledge.
This game isn't about bringing back the good old days. This game is for iApple man-children to have as a time-waster on the bus.

So Black & White with cartoon graphics for tablets?

Project GODUS?
More like Project BOGUS.

(except with Molyneaux)

You mean 15 dollar. (if you are an early donator)

The women have big cans. That's an extra two. And there's a tranny in the back. Three. But Pete likes even numbers so he rounded.

Mystery solved.

EDIT: also, I read that wrong. And I'm a little tipsy.

That's a pretty shitty invention (I mean I understand why they would do it, but fuck them anyway).

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Change the nature of gaming, like I didn't heard that before

Only one kickstarter remains to be done.

 

[dibens]

Well, that was awfully humble for a project led by Molyneux.

No, it's 15 pounds sterling but I got the exchange rate wrong so it's more like $24ish not $30ish. The non early buyer tier is $48ish which is even more laughable.

 

[Jarpie]

Fuck off Molyneux.

 

[Minttunator]

I'm sure we all knew a Molyneux Kickstarter cash-grab was coming, the only question was "when?". Now the question becomes "are people retarded enough to back this?".
My personal guess is that this will get fully funded within the week.

I dunno it seems kinda slow for now.

Reinvent Dungeon Keeper you morons.

Dungeon Keeper meets Dwarf Fortress on a primordial alien world.

This one (Maia) has potential, but I'm actually hoping he fails and tries again in a few months, and at that time make a prototype/demo available.


BTW, any decent Theme Hospital / Dungeon Keeper worthy games out there?

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Screw this man, his ego, his lies, his conceit and his stupid gimmicks.
