Operation Inner Space did this way back in 1994: http://www.sdispace.com/inspace.htm

Please convince these guys to put their game on GOG!

Inner Space was a great game as a kid. A few other games did this, I think one called 'Virus'.

Yeah, that game was Israeli btw: http://www.mobygames.com/game/virus-the-game

Published by Sir-Tech, the poor fucks. It wasn't a very good game.

I should make a post about the short-lived Israeli gaming industry of the 90s someday.

The creators of the Megaman series are giving a big 'fuck you' to Capcom by starting a campaign for their 'not-megaman' game The Mighty No. 9

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9?ref=category

It has the original designer, artist, and composer on board... I think.

EDIT: 155k after about 2-3 hours.

Mmm. Still in conceptual art. I became very cynical of at-conceptual-stage Kickstarters since the Torment 2 fiasco, so I'm on the fence on this. I'm going to pledge one dorra just to get the updates.

What Torment 2 fiasco?

 

[Destroid]

Worse graphics than the original megaman games.

 

[Tehdagah]

$900.000 for a Megaman clone?

Megaman fans create Megaman games all the time. For free.

WHY DOES NOBODY MAKE A THIEF OR DEUS EX CLONE I WOULD PAY 100 BUCKS FOR THAT

Because people are happy with having Deus Ex: HR and Thief 4

Using the sandbox stealth of Looking Glass Studio's Thief series as the base of Tangiers, we're looking to build a world inspired by, embodying and adapting the darker avant-garde of the 20th century.

Funny, that was your first wish.

$750k should be Jennifer Hepler won't join the team. Lol @ 2.5 million. Sadly I bet they get it.

I hardly believe that old lady behind main guy is a nerd/geek. Looks like she was forced to pose for this picture. Will this game have lightsabers vs Katanas and gun toys?

The Sime~Gen Universe, created by Jacqueline Lichtenberg, involves a future where humanity is divided into two subspecies or "larities". Gens look like ordinary humans and produce excess quantities of a life energy called selyn. Simes, who have tentacled arms, must take selyn from Gens in order to survive. If the Gen is frightened and resisting when selyn is taken, the Gen dies. The series chronicles the history of the two subspecies' search for coexistence.[1][2][3][4][5]

Simes and Gens have traditionally lived in separate territories. Simes raise Gens like food animals in pens. Children might become either Sime or Gen at puberty, and free Gens kill their children in self-defense if they start to change—if the child becomes Sime, it might take selyn from parents or loved ones, killing them.

Simes who can take selyn from frightened Gens without killing them are "channels". They can pass the selyn gathered to other Simes. The discovery of the channels leads to Unity. Sime and Gen territories declare an uneasy truce, and channels strive to assist both sides.

Lichtenberg began the series in the late 1960s as part of a creative writing class, putting it aside briefly to work on the Kraith Star Trek fan fiction series.

This is some of the dumbest shit I've ever read, you couldn't come up with a more contrived, biologically inexplicable conflict if you tried.

The game itself sounds like a pure Mass Effect clone. Their target customers are already served by the AAA market, so this kickstarter is probably not going anywhere. The only way to save it could be to emphasize same-sex romance and heavily promote it in the social warriors circles.

Ambrov X is a bad joke.
