SpaceVenture - Space Quest spiritual successor by Two Guys from Andromeda

[Infinitron]

commie is right, there are definitely a lot of people out there saying "I did my part for the Kickstarter revolution last month, not interested in this stuff anymore".

Banner Saga got more money than it deserved because it was the only other show in town for people who discovered Kickstarter for the first time when DF and W2 broke out

Yeah it got FAR more than it deserved while an earnest quality production with actual evidence of mechanics and gameplay like Eisenwald(or even Xenonauts) relatively struggle(d). Less than 3000 backers for each so far compared to 30,000 for TBS? That's the real evidence of coffee shop latte slurping bourgeois liberal scum latching onto a trendy cause.

Pray tell, where are all those gamers that you consider worthy of your respect, do they have better things to do that give money to Kickstarter, admitting that they have any money?

If that is true than kickstarter will eventually die off and cease to be viable. I was hoping it would remain as an alternative source of funding, if it dies we will be back to the days of publishers choosing what games we will be able to buy

No, when actual games come out, there will be renewed interest in Kickstarter...if they're good.

Prototype 2 is up:
http://guysfromandromeda.com/prototype-2-gogo/

Check it out!

 

[FeelTheRads]

It fucking awesome! They still have it!

 

[LizardKing]

Whoa!
Humor is spot on and artwork is great!
"Well, well, feels like old times, doesn't it?
Since this is the first time you've done something this stupid I guess we'll let you off easily and give you a hint:
You're now dead. Dying didn't feel good, did it?"

This game needs to happen!

 

[Kz3r0]

What happened?
Kicktraq is showing a minus 2K$, retired pledges?

Edit.
From the comments:

we just lost 6k in 10 minutes... WTF???

Putting blame on backers by accusing them of being either unaware or ignorant of the fact that the Two Guys stated numerous times that the finished game won't require Chrome (which probably wouldn't even be an issue if they had just told us that these prototypes would be Chrome-exclusive beforehand) or by telling them to go watch a video instead won't solve the problem.

Mark my words: If this campaign fails, you can blame Google Chrome for that!

 

[Crooked Bee]

What the fuck.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Not sure what the 6k in 10 minutes comment is about. I don't think it got that high.
But yeah, 2k or so are gone. Dunno.

 

[Kz3r0]

Too many deaths in the prototype?
Probably the newcomers didn't like that.

 

[FeelTheRads]

I'm afraid as well that their desire to remain so old-school may work against them. I hope I'm wrong, but probably I'm not.
Maybe some new press and adjusted rewards tiers can save this.

 

[Infinitron]

One of this Kickstarter's problems is that it didn't use the words everybody wanted to hear.

Two Guys from Andromeda, who are those again? "SpaceVenture", WTF?

SPACE QUEST! SPACE QUEST! SPACE QUEST!

Should have put an animated Roger Wilco in the videos to advertise the game even if he wasn't going to be in it

 

[Alex]

God damn it! And I thought the prototype is so well done too. At least when you consider how little time they had to come up with it.

 

[trustno1code]

The KS-adventure-game lovefest was bound to end at some point with everybody jumping on the wagon at the same time... but it's going to be damn depressing if it's The Two Guys to be the first...

Hmmm, well, that's not quite the reaction we were anticipating for giving everyone a "slice" of what our game could be like.Scott and I would personally welcome hearing directly from those who pulled to better understand what the real issue is. write us Mark, Scott or Chris@guysfromandromeda.com.
But in the mean time, we seriously have to consider whether or not showing early prototypes was a good idea. Some people really don't want to see how their sausage is made, I guess. But that you, the faithful for sticking with us. Your support is priceless to us. Please keep it positive on here everyone. It probably doesn't help matters when new folk come here and see a wall of doom and gloom. Let's beat this thing. Some good press coming!
Thanks all!

Google Chrome this, Google Chrome that..
It seems that those retarded idiots are ruining the campaign..
TGFA been working their ass off making these prototypes and then these dimwits wash all the work down the drain.
Fucking majestic..

 

[Infinitron]

"Activia"

 

[Dexter]

This "Google Chrome this" and "Google Chrome that" certainly doesn't help...

 

[Guido Fawkes]

Sadly I have to say this plan of showing gameplay tidbits might have backfired.

It would have probably been better just to hire a concept artist and show some graphics. People are dumb, they didn't get it.

 

[Infinitron]

 

[FrancoTAU]

Some of these kickstarters have had some stupid PR with mistaken what DRM is or using bad buzzwords. It sucks that these 2 have been getting problems because they're sharing their mock ups and how early adventure game development works.

 

[Guido Fawkes]

I am starting to fear for this one. You know, we never had a big adventure kickstarter fail on us yet. Wonder what will happen once it does...

 

[Kz3r0]

They should get a clue a re-launch this, IMHO.

I don't know. The extra time would be really nice, but a few of the pledgers might be spited by this and not come back. I still think they will build enough momentum to break through their own goal.
