Information Tom Hall and Brenda Brathwaite Kickstart Turn-based Oldschool CRPG

[DashiDMV]

Took them 3 days to get from 247k to 250k. The vultures are circling. I bet we see more Grimoire links as it gets closer to Day 0.

Last update was 6 days ago, it looks like even they dont care anymore.

They are too cool to care.

Okay, folks, definitely working on updates, large and small, which will tell you more about the game, the world, and all. Yes, are working on two other internal projects, but want to get you folks as much detail as we can! We appreciate all of you sticking with us, and stuff is coming soon!

They might as well just save this for the next KS they do. Oh well guess it should be more entertainment at the very least.

They are really stupid. Yes they should be saving that for a new kickstarter. But it can have more entertainment value though.

I am actually that a potential Wizardry successor dies like this and possibly ruins other potential kickstarters of first person, party based rpgs.

All of because of their stupidity and laziness. Not because people aren't interested. But this failure might be interpreted so.

 

[DashiDMV]

This is just where people twist the screws to remind people that a Wizardry successor has been completed and will ship in May. And unlike Brenda Bathsalts, there isn't a 1 million dollar bribe required to think about it.

Well look at the bright side, now they have more time to make the ever anticipated Pettington Park 2.

 

[FeelTheRads]

They should put that in the update too: Hey guys, we're actually working on some other shit and just put this up to get money without doing anything but it doesn't work so here, take this chewed-up bone.

Well i am not risking my money on this project anymore. I really hoped it was going to happen, but considering the lack of any real meat to the bones I can't say I have much faith even if the project does get funded.
Nearly half the way in and we still basically have nothing. The last update was an update on how they came up with an update!
I shall follow with interest, but I am not risking my money on a project as badly run as this has been.


Ryan ries 1 minute ago

this small update better be damn good cause they have been working on it for almost a week now!!!!!!!! all i know is that i have heard in 2 days a big new game is about to drop on kickstarter, so i am guessing this one is going to be pretty much dead


Ham Wizard just now

Too much "Coming soon" and too little "Here's info now"
I'm out until you sort this. Later guys.

I was kinda hoping for more than this. They launched a Kickstarter during a period where they're obviously too busy doing other things to maintain it. They're asking for $1m.... they should be there every goddamn day posting updates. They should be in the comments communicating back and forth with the backers. This is just stupid.

Yeah Feargus was in the comment section of PE every single day of the KS answering questions.

 

[DashiDMV]

Think the next 2 weeks or so, people are just going to use the Shaker page to advertise other KS projects that have a chance of making it. Already someone posted a Star Citizen one. At least the place will be useful for something.

I'm afraid of the same. There is a chance they ruin any other project which aims in the same direction.

Good Bye Wizardry games, Hello Isometric games.

Loot Drop backed:

GoldieBlox: The Engineering Toy for Girls

Seriously?

I'm all for feminazi and such. But this is ridiculous. None of the women working in science I know would endorse this. It's one of the most sexist idea I've seen in my life. And I know about sexism for I am posting on an RPG forum. The project basically says: "the only way girls can be interested in science and engineering is to make everything cute and pink." Go to hell, you backward cunt!

And Loot Drop is backing that? Cleve seems like a much more sensible fellow suddenly.

Loot Drop backed:

What the.... You cannot change a society mindset with something as derp as this...

Edit: They should back Cleve for the lulz than this.

 

[~RAGING BONER~]

I knew from the first day, from the moment I watched that horrible video, that this was going to fail miserably...I was so uninterested that I didn't even bother to check back up on this KS.

Now, from the looks of it, by the end of their run they will be actually LOSING the money they've made so far.

Pathetic. It was just so obvious they wanted to cash in on the first day success of Double Fine, Wasteland 2 and Eternity. Fuck these greedy whores.

The saddest part of all is that it doesn't teach anything about building things. Since it is about following a specific set of instructions to copy one thing, it is less like engineering and more like cooking.

The project basically says: "the only way girls can be interested in science and engineering is to make everything cute and pink."

I share your outrage. All the cuteness and pinkiness in the world wouldn't accomplish shit, yes.

 

[DashiDMV]

Hey guise we just pulled a world from out of our ass, now pay us 750k more to care.

They should have kept this for the next one but maybe they want to get some buzz when they restart.

 

[markec]

What would be hilarious is when they restart the project they earn even less money.

 

[DashiDMV]

It's actually funny, I am sitting here refreshing every now and then and after the update they did about 2-3k or so, not it's slowly going backwards like 15,25,50 at a time. I don't know. Been one of the oddest KS projects I have seen in terms of people coming and going. The Grimoire spam is pretty funny though.

 

[Excidium]

This kickstarter must have the worst updates ever.

 

[DwarvenFood]

Let's hope all the backers come to their senses and donate to Grimoire instead.

Is Grimoire for real? I.E. it's not scam/parody/imagination of a crazy person?

The element of surprise is one of the Grimoires strong points.
