KickStarter Rebecca Heineman's Dragons of the Rip (formerly Dragon Wars 2)

[LESS T_T]

Now we know the reason. They made peace!



And she say this will not affect DotP DotR:

 

[Shevek]

I am rooting for this lady. If her pitch is decent, she will have my pledge.

 

[LESS T_T]

Well, I put this here than the Bard's Tale threads.

Heineman registered domains related to Bard's Tale on May 31st.

edit:

And descentiv.com was registered on February 1st. Come to think of it, in the Dragon Wars GOG stream, she said they pitched a new Descent game to Interplay, but it also didn't work out well. (Obviously.)

The first episode of Burgertime, featuring Apple II GS and Mountain Dew!

The content is mostly technical things.



02:40 Shows off her Apple II GS.
10:00 Source code and build for Space Ace for II GS.
15:10 Ultima 1, The Bard's Tale, Tass Times in Tonetown for II GS.
18:03 Back to Space Ace. She will post the source code of Space Ace to her GitHub in a few days.
28:26 Q&A, technical things.
43:00 Her life as a (fanfiction) writer.
49:20 About Dragons of the Rip. She say that she is doing 'what if I did Dragons Wars IX,' 'what if I kept iterating over it after Dragon Wars.' And they have a huge list of TSR D&D writers.
- Some Q&A after that; what Apple II emulator you are using, how to breaking into the game industry...

(I skipped many of the technical parts so I may have missed some interesting antidotes anecdotes and things there.)

 

[Jaesun]

She needs to come up with a better name than Dragons of the Rip.

Unless she can fully explain how that name makes complete sense.

 

[Lady_Error]

They already explained it. It's supposed to be about some rifts ("rips") in space that take you to different realms, or something.

Still, it's a stupid name.

 

[Jaesun]

Ahh missed that then.

Dragons of the Rift(s) would be much better IMHO.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Dragons of the Rip sounds like a name for a comedic RPG parody. It's just so stupid.

 

[Jaesun]

I know. Every time I hear it, I think of a big Dragon taking a bong hit.

 

[DeepOcean]

Dragons of the hip. Everytime I hear this I think on hipster dragons wearing lumberjack shirts and having solar panels on the wings to not harm the enviroment with green house gases.

 

[Melan]

Dragons of the Rift(s) would be much better IMHO.

Pretty sure that would get them sued by Kevin Siembieda©®™. Not necessarily successfully, but a small company may not want to take the risk, and Kevin is extremely protective of the RIFTS©®™ trademarks.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah, that's probably true. It does sound a bit too much like Rifts™. There just has to be something better than Rip.

 

[Lady_Error]

The full name is even better:

Spoiler

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Ugh, they really need to hire a professional writer, they do not exactly seem to be the craftiest wordsmiths..

 

[Dorateen]

If they were looking for something that suggests a rending or shredding, she could have gone with Dragons of the Tear

or maybe... Tears of the Dragon

 

[Zombra]

Shredders of the Rip

 

[glasnost]

Shredders of the Rip

dragons of the fripp

 

[Keldryn]

Dragons of Tripping the Rift

 

[Crooked Bee]

The full name is even better:

Shredworld: Dragonrip. There, short and to the point.

 

[octavius]

Shrip.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

Yes, needs to be compressed somehow, too many bland words

Transdragons of the Shredworlds

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Shredworlds sounds a bit too much like Crapworlds. Crapworlds: Dragons of the Crap?

I wonder how Old School they really are, I hope that they will pitch a game with traditional charming 2D graphics. Do we know anything about this yet? It could spice up things and make them stand out more compared to other modern blobbers like BT4, M&MX and LoG.

I have the hunch that its going to be a weak pitch, they do not seem to have any pull whatsoever, but if they pitch a blobber with great 2D graphics they gonna get a bunch of bucks from me, thats for sure.

 

[Keldryn]

Shredworld: Dragonrip. There, short and to the point.

Or just simply "Drip."

 

[Crooked Bee]

Dragon Drip. Catchy.

Better yet, Drip the Dragon's Adventures in Shredded Worlds: The Drippening.

 

[Zombra]

I hope that they will pitch a game with traditional charming 2D graphics. Do we know anything about this yet?

No, but I vaguely recall seeing a prototype video for the next game Becky was working on (?) after Dragon Wars (?) back in the day - a fake 3D third-person adventure RPG type game. I can't find it because searching for Dragon Wars 2 videos is getting me nowhere. It looked horrible, but the point is that it seems she also thought 3D was the next step. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Anyway, I agree 2D would be great but I'm not holding my breath.
