KickStarter Mechajammer (formerly Copper Dreams) - cyberpunk RPG from Whalenought Studios

[Fenix]

Depends on what we are talking about. Already https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Tsiolkovsky was talking about brain in jars, but I was talking about context - human btains, used for building up supercomputer. In that book "Tree of Life" I referenced to, it was done by clearly fascist alien race. While book have many action (in both senses) and nude breasts, it's mostly a musings and social furutistic prognosis between the lines about technocracy, and return to a feodalism on high tech level, which sadly was too precise.

Misc.
Just looked into English version of article, and it's just laughable an bogus as usual.
You can compare it yourself with this machine translated entry to Russian article.

Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky (Rus. doref. Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky; 5 [17] September 1857, Izhevsk, Ryazan province, Russian Empire — September 19, 1935, Kaluga, RSFSR, USSR) — Russian and Soviet self-taught scientist and inventor, school teacher. The founder of theoretical cosmonautics[6]. He justified the use of missiles for space flights, came to the conclusion that it was necessary to use "rocket trains" — prototypes of multi-stage missiles. The main scientific works are related to Aeronautics, rocket dynamics and cosmonautics[7].

A representative of Russian cosmism, a member of the Russian society of world lovers. Author of sci-Fi works, supporter and promoter of the ideas of space exploration. Tsiolkovsky proposed to populate outer space using orbital stations, put forward the idea of a space Elevator, hovercraft trains. Believed that the development of life on one of the planets of the Universe will reach such power and perfection that it will allow to overcome the forces of gravity and spread life through the Universe.

Do you consider Tsiolkovsky the sole founder of modern rocketry and astro/cosmonautics?

If so, you've earned your tag.

 

[Fenix]

No, of course no - it's Musk too.

 

[Fenix]

You see, the father is the one man, not all all those who did it after him.

Next week?

[Fenix]

Wait, why Australian?

I guess it's a love or hate thing with the art style. For me it's absolute impossible to look at it for more than 3 seconds, I just cannot stand it at all. The colors, the shadows, the style, it just hurts my eyes. Sorry for saying that because the devs seem cool and the game itself interesting.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Yeah, it works for the UI but everything else looks like a mess.

 

[frajaq]

My fucking god that looks horrible, what the fuck happened, I could swear this game was like some low-poly 3D that was clunky but charming at some point

 

[roshan]

Jesus Christ this looks horrible, what have they done to the art since the last screens/vids?

 

[ArchAngel]

It seems art style changes every month.. they will never finish the game this way.

 

[Rahdulan]

ANGERY ABOUT ART STYLE!

 

[Terra]

Saw the thread was updated, expected an art style change & accompanying complaints, thread delivered.

The best looking version of the game was posted on Page 5 in this thread in February 2016. The graphics weren't good by modern standards but you could tell what you were looking at. In the latest screenshot, everything is ill-defined save the over sized shopping carts.

 

[The Wall]

Ball is Copper Dreams' art direction. Let's hope it won't inevitably end up in endless pit of decline. But, hey there's next Kickstarter, next game, next ball!

Eww wtf? No the best version was defintely a few pages back. The kickstarter art was garbage.

Yup.
Staglands was flawed but it put these devs on the radar.
Copper Dreams looked promising in the kickstarter phase.
I hoped to play it in 2017 or 18.
Now it's just a hipster trainwreck I watch for laughs.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

What happened that the game has turned to crap?

 

[Fenix]

what have they done to the art since the last screens/vids?

I can't see - did they change something?
If yes, it looks better then before.
At least I think so.

 

[Black Angel]

vs.

If you ask me, I think the latter's artstyle is fine. The lighting, shading, and those shadows are pretty retarded, though.

If they can, however, I'd like to keep the overall style shown in the video, but keep the most recent style for the UI. Obviously, tone down the UI and adjust it until its looks matches well with the older style.

 

[ArchAngel]

I like it to look as much as possible as a comic book, that is only chance it can sell more than their last game.

 

[Mortmal]

Previous art style was 3D , PS1 style, no problem with me but it wont get them many sales indeed on steam. Now that comic style can appeal to a larger steam mass market crowd, while not alienating anyone, it's clearly for the best.Tbh that's really impressive aesthetics.

Thanks for efficiently pointing out how much comic(allly) new art style looks, so that I don't have

I swear, they change their art style more often then your average thot her latest 'bf'. They really lack focus

Whalenought_Joe have you tried meditation or temporal conversion to Buddhism? Could really help you and more importantly your game

 

[Jenkem]

the art style kind of make it looks like an uprezzed EGA screen shot.. I kind of like it, but kind of don't at the same time..
