KickStarter Vampire Syndicate: Gangs of MoonFall - Kickstarter now live!

[GentlemanCthulhu]

Reading the comments on the trailer video reminded me of how dumb the average person is.

Most people have below average IQ.

This statement is statistically impossible.

 

[Spectral Pontifex]

Most people have below average IQ.

This statement is statistically impossible.

You took the bait. The statement is correct.

Let's say you have 5 people, 4 of them have an iq of 70 and 1 has an IQ of 160. The average IQ between them is 88 even though the majority of them are below it.

The example is contrived. There are no population size constraints in the original statement.

It isn't. Your claim that it is impossible is FALSE.

But upon closer look, the IQ statistics use normal distribution so you are actually right in that half the people are below the average. I yield to your might.

He is correct. Sorry, but I won't be able to provide the source. I read it too many years ago. Just something I recalled when I read a comment about how dumb an average person is. Make of that what you will.

 

[PanteraNera]

Well I think the Dunning-Kruger effect plays a major role in that, people just don't realize how stupid they are with an average IQ.

 

[The Jester]

Congrats on 5k sub Manly Mouse Dan!
Is the gigachad voice yours?

Edit: nevermind, didn't see the text.

Kickstarter live and already looking set for success: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1619485858/vampire-syndicate-gangs-of-moonfall-2nd-run

Backed!

 

[Abu Antar]

So, someone backed at $4900 tier, and someone backed at $7000 tier.

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

Pledged

Tyranicon That "heavy limitations" for designing shit better be VERY limited, one extra cringe non-minor character is enough to destroy the feeling of a game.

Here's hoping.

Admittedly, I do always worry about huge bids like that which represent 60%+ of the current take, as you never know if/when someone's going to pull their bid. Still, sometimes numbers provide their own momentum; people see something on a path to success and jump in.

 

[Tyranicon]

Man, I feel like I've been up for 64 hours. Haven't been sleeping a lot lately.

Anyway, I shot my shot. Let's see what happens.

I'll be using the same process I've used for my other games. The characters will be written by me and I'll have total control, but backers get to choose appearance, plot points, fetishes etc.

Backer content for me is really to introduce new ideas that I would normally never think of. It's worked out pretty well so far.

 

[Zombra]

Backed. Good luck amigo.

Yup, backed.

 

[glorificus]

Congrats! Will also be backing.

Always happy to support solo-devs with true ambition!

 

[RaggleFraggle]

Neat.

Tyran, I really have to give you credit for originality and creativity. I haven’t felt this interested in crpgs since Bloodlines released 20 years ago.

 

[Peachcurl]

Kickstarter be like




Seems like I haven't been there in a while.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Backed, good luck!

PS

25k seems tight.. stretch goals would've been good. You should later keep some alternative for donations as well.

 

[Rahdulan]

Now we wait to see who's going to cover it.

 

[jaekl]

What couple of lines should the rpgcodex bystander NPC have

 

[Tyranicon]

Now we wait to see who's going to cover it.

I doubt anybody tbh. Maybe PCGamer. Smaller sites too.

If the kickstarter blows up I'll expect a few snide, openly hostile articles from the usual suspects.

 

[ropetight]

Backed, in spite of my long time ago learned moto.
And it is almost over the goal in just couple of hours.

Meanwhile, trailer has near 200k views- which is amazing too.

Asmongold and other streamers mentioning the game helped it propel to somewhat viral.

 

[Abu Antar]

Update the title to acknowledge that the Kickstarter campaign is ongoing.

Put the Kickstarter link in the OP.

 

[RaggleFraggle]

I really don't understand why they do that. Cyberpunk and Baldur's gate already threw the door wide open to horniness by letting you customize your game model's genitals.

 

[processdaemon]

Backed it, congratulations on how well it's doing already!
