KickStarter Broken Sword The Serpent's Curse

[FeelTheRads]

I think it can get to 800k. I so wish they'd reach 1 million, though.

Some guy from their team said in the comments that BASS2 might happen regardless, but reaching 1 million now would speed up the process.

[tag]Astral Rag[/tag] seems to have some connection with the project, maybe he can clear this up about who the writers are.

I'm afraid I don't have inside information, I'm Just a fan of the original BS games.

Glad to see this project got funded so quick.

 

[kaizoku]

With 4 days to go they're at a total of 640k http://revolution.co.uk/kickstarter/paypal
I guess they won't be reaching that 1M I was hoping for after all.

They'll certainly reach 700k, maybe with some luck the 800k goal.

 

[Aeschylus]

Well, they probably won't reach a million, but they've still been quite successful. They're certain to be the 2nd most funded adventure game kickstarter behind Double Fine, which is cool. I do hope they make it to 800k so the game could be fully fleshed out as mentioned in the stretch goals.

Not the desired $1M, but not too shabby at all.


I hope they don't fuck this up.
If they do, it may be the end of Revolution, since most people didn't like BS3 or BS4.

 

[Jaesun]

Glad to see it got funded. And yeah, Revolution better make one hell of a good BS game or it will be goodbye.

What happened here?

 

[FeelTheRads]

What do you mean? That's the total with Paypal.

 

[catfood]

Then that makes sense.

Don't forget that Kickstarted games like Broken Sword, Tex Murphy, Project Eternity etc are likely to get extra funding from other sources. Kickstarter is more important for indie efforts like Dead State.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Well, the point is to do without publishers. Otherwise, I don't know what other sources. Not everybody has "mysterious friends" like the Tex Murphy guys.

Broken Sword V Gamescom Trailer

 

[jfrisby]

Un gameplay a la fois classique, epique et endiable

Gameplay is both classic, epic and furious.

 

[Cosmic Misogynerd]

Looks good so far. Although is not going to be as gorgeous as the first two games. Too bad that is going to be dumbed down as the Director Cut.

 

[abnaxus]

Can't be worse than Broken Sword 3 & 4.

 

[Dexter]

Meh.

 

[Darth Slaughter]

Meh.

Prettier than broken age, though...

 

[Dexter]

Prettier than broken age, though...

I disagree, the faux 3D is kind of annoying and the character animations only make it worse for me, although some of the backgrounds look real pretty like.

The only/main problem I have with Broken Age is some of the character design.

Compare with first game:

 

[Cosmic Misogynerd]

You're right.

 

[RPGMaster]

It's the same type of art style that made me quit Runaway after an hour.

Why not do traditional 2D art?

Also they seem to have turned Nico into the Heavy Rain slut.

 

[Jaesun]

That looks fucking sweet.

 

[Wizfall]

Looks ok.
Really like the traditional 2D art of the first two much more, and it's not nostalgia because i discover this series only 2/3 years ago.
The only great one is BS1 IMO, the next BS were much less enjoying including 2.
However each BS sequel, despite their flaws, were quite enjoying in the end and after some time left a surprising good memory.
I expect the same with this one now, even if i was expecting better first.
I should have pledge.
