Community Giant troll statues, pets and game keys for Beautiful Desolation + PoE2

[Once more unto the Codex]

...Why Africa though?

Because the developers are African?...

 

[Septaryeth]

But to humiliate a game dev into stripping for the Codex is...

Very generous of you, Pyke, but Codex should not be given a statue unless Codex earns it. Now there's less of an incentive to not give money to that other game!

Oh well, desolation always prevails. Law of entropy, & whatnot.

The incentive can be like...helping the little guy prevail! Or something.
I could always say that the SIZE of the statue('s phallus) is dependent on the amount of money received.

Sounds like those filthy, disgusting and dodgy patreon character projects where the patrons vote to change the shape and size of a particular body part.

...Why Africa though?

Im African - so it seemed fitting. :D
But a few other reasons! We are using photogrammetry and living here gives us access to some really cool an unique looking natural environments to capture. I also really wanted to make something different in the post apoc genre - and combining an African design aesthetic with the styling of Mad Max is something I haven't really seen done.
There are also so many awesome post apoc games, films and comics out there that its hard to not come off as derivative - so trying to find a new 'blend' is a good way to go. The Witcher devs took the same approach in a fantasy take on Polish lore and culture and it worked exceptionally well in putting a new spin on an old idea.

Hmm, might have to change my pledge from Kickstarter to the Codex for BD.

Good idea, get the game and a statue... I switched mine to RPGCodex

 

[commie]

Fuck you DU. I gave 50 bucks to the last one and wasn't in the Codex letter in the damn game!

Pyke, you seem a little bit over-eager to get a massive dick into this game. Getting the Codex to fund it is pure genius.

I can easily imagine the following discussion taking place during the development:

Nicolas: Hey Chris, the animations are lagging three weeks behind the schedule, can you speed that up a bit, please?

*sound of a zipper being pulled up*

Pyke: ...

Nicolas: My God! Don't tell me you've been sculpting that penis again!

Pyke (voice breaking): But it's a backer statue!

But it needs to be multi-headed! ONE DICK IS NOT ENOUGH!

You really want your name in PoE?

Yeah, what's the problem? Good game is good.

 

[Crooked Bee]

PoE2 Update: Codexian pet is in. Can we make it two pets??

Fuck you DU. I gave 50 bucks to the last one and wasn't in the Codex letter in the damn game!

You sure about that? I just checked and you were on the list (and should've been in-game) as "The Rogue Menace." We definitely submitted your name to Obsidian along with the others. Are you, like, really 100% white sure you weren't included? And if so, why didn't you tell us sooner?

Damn! That's why I didn't notice! It should be 'Rouge Menace'. No wonder I didn't recognise it. That's what happens when you try and be smart and not put the obvious 'Red Menace' I guess. Nah, thought it would be more cryptic by using the French word which would actually still appear as 'rogue' to the quick skimmer. '2deep4u' ended up just confusing. Seems that somewhere down the line someone transcribed it as 'rogue' instead from the start.


PS. I did grumble sooner, but maybe not loud enough. Back then might have been a chance to get a spelling update in a patch. Oh well, since you guys did your share and somewhere the chain got confused(no-ones fault) I'll probably end up adding some coin to this one as well. Thanks Bee and DU.

Rouge Menace

Spoiler

Such menace!

 

[Haplo]

Rogue vs Rouge was actually a big discussion spanning many topics on some NWN and DnD forums.

 

[Popiel]

many topics on some NWN and DnD forums.

By some do you by chance mean potato or some other forums where non-natives dwelled...?

 

[commie]

Rouge Menace

Spoiler

That's the gag there...it's a double meaning, even triple if you mistake rouge for rogue and not get the 'Red Menace' meaning. But yeah, shouldn't have been so obtuse. After seeing what others went with, probably could have gotten away with plain ol 'commie'.

Mainly NWN/NWN2 forums... so not necessarily potato.
"Rouge" always got some people agitated... for some reason.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

so we're almost at the $850 Create an Item. any thoughts?

Is this Obshitian funding going extra slow or what?

Adventure game though: TOTAL: $1,363.50

Cancer: TOTAL: $727.00

More donations are needed to get to the goal for Beautiful Desolation. At least it will have better game play and story than Pilllows.

Well, the campaign description flat out says that Pyke promised to whore his game out for whatever meager amount we manage to raise, so we've already won.

 

[fabrulana]

Check out the new stretch goal... will be pretty awesome! https://www.kickstarter.com/project...n-isometric-post-apocalyptic-ad/posts/1808200

 

[Sensuki]

At least most people are donating to the dev that actually needs it.

I was going to rant how the campaign only raised about 60% of the target, which might suggested that the Codex's dick is only the average size, or half the size of what it could be.
I only checked the campaign like yesterday, or the day before that.
How the hell did it jumped all the way to 101%?

Anyway...

Anonymous has been busy. Who could our mysterious benefactor be?

 

[PlanHex]

The "anonymous" donation at the top is from 4-Feb-2017 though.
But I guess it would take time to verify someone throwing in $1000.
