Obsidian gets 2.2 million bucks by throwing lots of names in => every publisher and developer get everything old-school from their closets, pulls some more from their asses and run on Kickstarter?

 

[felipepepe]

Has anyone else spotted MOBILE SUPPORT stretch goal at 2.1 million?

Fuck this shit, I'm out.

 

[Phelot]

And so "Old School RPG" becomes another marketing term.

 

[Jarpie]

Mobile support...

They have lot of explaining to do, there are quite many people wanting to know specifics about the project in Kickstarter comments.

Indeed. I wonder if EA will adapt it?

Dragon Age 3, a spiritual successor to the old school arr pee gee Dragon Age 1, with more BLOOM!

 

[Phelot]

Immerse yourself in an epic, majestic, accessible, old school RPG, also suck it down you are jealous of my vagina

Most likely. After all, they did jump on the indie bundle bandwagon.

Brenda Brathwaite sucks and Tom Hall is a faggot.

 

[InspectorRumpole]

Looks like something we'd want Roguey to investigate

Mobile support...

But.. Mobile gaming has history! It can be oldschool too! Super oldschool!

 

[l3loodAngel]

Chillax guys for 15$ you will get 2 Old school iPhone games

 

[Tolknaz]

That being said, I'd surely prefer a Commander Keen kickstarter.

To this? Sure. In general, no. After browsing through Steam greenlight a few weeks ago, i can honestly say, that about half of the games, that get made these days are shitty 2D platformers "with a twist".

“You’re not doing your work! You’re not living up to your responsibilities. You’re hurting the project. You’re hurting the company. You’ve been poisonous to the company, and your contribution has been negative over the past couple years. You needed to do better but you didn’t. Now you need to go! Here’s a resignation and here’s a termination! You’re going to resign now!”

- John Carmack, Technical Director of id Software, informing John Romero of his resignation.

 

[Digital Monocle]

Game Developers better be wary of pitching half assed products, because it could potentially kill their revenue completely for future projects they want to crowd fund.
If they spent another month or two to completely focus this project and not give it probably one of the worst names of all KS, then maybe it stands a chance to get funded to its maximum. But this completely insults the good projects out there that may get the blowback from this project.

 

[Jarpie]

I wouldn't be surprised if there's gonna be Kickstarter for Goldbox Reimagening from some of the original developers...wouldn't mind pleding for that if they keep it enough faithful.

 

[insukk]

"An Old School RPG: Like a Boss edition" - that sounds like something worth pledging 10 thousand dollars.

I don't mind remakes(or just upgrade graphics) of old classics, in fact that wouldn't be bad for games that do not go overboard(2D to 3D game). I wouldn't mind a REAL JA2 remake with the original devs or a proper XCOM remake that's not popamole.

 

[Gakkone]

The whole pitch almost comes off as a joke.

This was long before Doom 3.
