Solenttar returns as IceBlink Engine

Thanks for pointing that out! Backed.

Lulz, they messaged me that I could pick a cheaper reward tier if I wanted to.

Wait, what?

Thr 100K$ JRPG:

Pier Solar is the biggest 16-bit RPG ever and it's coming to you in high definition for Xbox 360, PC, Mac, Linux & Sega Dreamcast!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects...pg-for-xbox360-pc-mac-linux-and/?ref=kicktraq

how in the shiznit does this piece of crap have 100k in 10 days?

/ragequit

The reason for their success is that this is the HD version of a homebrew Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game that was released in 2010 and had been in development since 2004 ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_Solar_and_the_Great_Architects for the long version of the story ). Imagine how the Codex would have been all over a KS project of Age of Decadence or Ultimate Newcomer. That's how they got all that money in such a short amount of time. Your piece of shit is their AoD/UN/WL2/P:E all rolled into one.

I see. Thanks for the info, it makes perfect sense. Still,

Making sure that I didn't pick a more expensive reward tier by accident.

Dude, it's not like their tiers are going into thousands of dollars...

Ultimate Hipster Pack http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lagamespace/la-game-space-a-place-for-re-imagining-video-games

We already had a kickstarter for a pack of games and it failed miserably. People don't want to donate to something like this, they want that perfect pet project (or 15) that they've been waiting for since 1999.

Asking for 1.5 million, oh lordy.

How did they raise 1.3k dollah for this? Is there some secret subculture of well-to-do Prospers lurking in the darkest depths of Kickstarter?

They don't actually get the money unless the project reaches the goal.

Would it be possible to introduce a new category for the OP? I suggest a Released category with the cyan color used. I know of two projects already released: FTL and Giana Sisters AKA Giana Project, which needs to have its color changed from green to cyan :D. I know it's nitpicky as hell and all...

But that's already the case: in each category, the released games are colored cyan and moved to the top of the list. OK, Kz3r0 hasn't updated Giana Project, but that's just a matter of detail.

Meanwhile, Hero U is still fighting for the 400k goal http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1878147873/hero-u-rogue-to-redemption

At this rate, they need about 1.5 k per hour to make it. Not impossible, but...

Is that legal, though? I know they're not gathering money for the mod itself, only to fund it's development, but will that shit fly with EA? Especially considering these guys want money for what many others do for free.

It would be legally dicey to ask money for the mod itself (i.e. selling the mod), but asking money for living expenses so that they can work on developing the mod shouldn't be a problem. The difference between doing it for free and asking for money to cover your living expenses is that if you have the money, you will be able to focus on developing the mod and, as a result, it will be developed faster. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

As one KS project is starting with a whimper (Thorvalla), another one is ending with a massive bang. Star Citizen's KS project ended with $2,134,314 from 34,396 backers. The kicker is that on the game's website (which is down again), the game got another $4,000,000+ from another 45,000+ backers. We'll have the final numbers when http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/ comes back online, but we're looking at the most crowd-funded video game up to date, way over P:E.

 

[PosledniKovboj]

Yeah. And, frankly, I think it'll be shit am doubtful of the result.
