Community Let's get a giant troll statue into a beautifully desolate adventure game!

[Junmarko]

Next campaign: Pay 20 homeless people to finish Grimoire.

Fixed that for you.

Also; statue should clearly be a multi-headed dick hitting a codex troll ass and leg.

Alternative option: Pay 1 homeless person to find Cleveland at work and bite one of his nipples off.

 

[ghostdog]

Bah I pledged again for our glorious desolated multiheaded codex dick.

DarkUnderlord put a screen or something in the first post goddammit:

 

[thesheeep]

Donated for the glory of Codexia.

 

[LeStryfe79]

Anyone donating* will be thrown into a raffle to win a duplicate of LeStryfe's as yet to be determined drinking shirt. (As long as DarkUnderlord provides me with his mailing address.) Go to Codex Member Pictures to see the candidates for his new shirt. I will use the Codex die roller on this thread to determine the winner. Value of prize is between $15 to $40.

You too can become a drunken master!

*Donation must be $10.00 or more

I give photography lessons. I'll tutor Bubbles for free.

I can imagine what your tutoring sessions would be like:

In thick German accent: Hey Prime Junta, vy do ve hafta go to ze darkroom, zis chamera is vully digital? And is it reely nezessary to unzip our pants?
...
*agitated grunting*

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Next campaign: Pay 20 homeless people to go hijack and start squatting inside Cleveland Blakemore's bomb-shelter.

That would be a suicidal mission. I think around a year ago, Cleve reported that some of his canned food leaked and black mold covered like half of his bunker. He tried nuking it with all sorts of chemicals but unsuccessfully. His shelter is not operational and would suffocate homeless people.

They have quite powerful immune systems though, eating from the garbage will do that.

Besides, think how poetic it will be, Cleveland has been fantasising about a post-apocalyptic scenario for the last 20 years. Let's give him what he wants, a ghoul raid

Fourth wall breaking backer shit is cancerous as fuck, ages badly and just makes these games worse.

 

[Wayward Son]

There should be more adventure in RPGs. Also, I'm psychic, and I'm sure the nonbackers will end up losing their souls. Trust me, you don't want to lose your soul.

Jokes on you, I lost my soul a long time ago.

 

[LeStryfe79]

But you can still win a LeStryfe shirt, which will give you back your soul. I'm pretty sure anyways.

Thankfully penises are ageless.

They will still be making penis statuses in 3017.

Codex is 5th wall. One wall beyond the 4th. Lots of wall supporters here. Always remember that!

Crooked Bee knows what I mean. She has like a hundred walls in her head. It's true!!!

 

[Kev Inkline]

Codex is 5th wall. One wall beyond the 4th.

Which tier is that?

 

[LeStryfe79]

Rum Tier

 

[Outlander]

With the money DU raised for that thin-skinned drama queen (who will probably just waste it on 'refugee relief'), we'd be nearly at 50% for the penis statue.

 

[TT1]

Done! Let make this game happen.

 

[LeStryfe79]

There might be additional secret gifts given to backers as well. It's a mystery tho

 

[Trojan_generic]

2,199 bucks for 25 game keys? Bad, bad deal.

 

[thesheeep]

I really tried to like STASIS, but boy did that game lack some clarity (like the character not commenting when you do something wrong, so you have no idea you have to do it again differently) and pixel hunting in games belongs locked away and forgotten for good.
There is 0 challenge in hovering your mouse over every pixel on a screen. It is a waste of time and nothing more.
It also actually distracts the player, because you no longer look at the (beautiful) screen and its details - you just look at what icon the mouse cursor becomes at pixel XY.
I simply stopped playing about 2 hours in because of this, it was agonizing.

A shame, really, because the atmosphere, story and puzzles themselves seemed so nice.
Just make a highlight-button (and make it optional, if you really want some players have that pain) FFS ...

So Bubbles is dead? When did that happen?

That was a joke right? because they do a fundraiser to get money for a camera for him.

Agreed.

If everyone (assuming we only have 25 backers) donated wants a game key, we each have to pay $88, with no other reward or whatsoever.

So, with that in mind, 88 should be the amount that guarantees you a game key...

I don't really care for other reward but I do want the game. I can't pay up to 88 and below that, well I don't really know if I can out compete other backers. Even so there is a chance that 88 will still be outside of the top 25 and I will have nothing (except for a glorious Codexia badge?) at the end.

The uncertainty is bit of turn off for those who really want the game and they might turn to the kickstarter without the Codex, just saying.

Thanks to Pyke, I can now guarantee a game key for anyone who donates $19 or more to the fundraiser - regardless of the total we raise (so whether we hit the target tier or not).

In the event the KickStarter itself fails to reach the $120k target, that will be addressed at that time (shun the non-believers) but options include refunds, or transferring your donation to another campaign (either existing or future, and would include any future Beautifully Desolate campaign if there was another attempt). Pretty sure they're gonna get there though.

 

[Pyke]

Heres a deal - no matter how much you raise (even if its not the full amount), if you pledge it to the campaign we will meet the community reward. You're getting your statue!

 

[Prime Junta]

Okay fuck it I'm in too
