So is it fair to say this kick starter is doomed?

Speaking of Kickstarter:
These guys want 750k to make an action RPG where you play a golem who's role-playing Godzilla in Prague.

Rabbis created golems during WW2 to fight Nazi necromancers. I saw it on TV two days ago!

This is like asking if is a German Kraut.
Chris Taylor is a very emotional man right now
An idealist, but ultimately a failure in today's business environment. Sorry Chris, being a passionate nerd alone doesn't cut it anymore. This isn't the 1990s anymore.

Oh? Is that why all we get today is shit for retards?
Not saying that Wildman isn't popamole shit arpg for retards, of course...
I agree with you. Cold, calculable profits-only-please attitude towards publishers is the *only* attitude being accepted these days. Nonetheless, Chris still made too many shitty games. But I respect his anger.
He should have made Planetary Annihilation but he chose the wrong path. Damn, that's tragic and his desperate performances don't make it any better.

Larian Divinity is a bit different, than the other projects being thrown around here, since it's more of a prepurchase kickstarter for a game that's largely done. Kickstarter is rather a good way of handling prepurchases, since it has a lot more visibility than bunging a paypal shop on the game's site and a KS sale attracts less commission than a sale through GOG/Steam.

So apparently Totalbiscuit offered to do a Youtube interview with Chris to try and drum up some support for the project. Didn't get a response. When one of the most popular Youtube commentators offers to help you answer him Chris....

Nathan Grayson, you are not writing a novel, you are interviewing a subject to inform your audience.
God damn that lead in is awful.

My opinion of Chris Taylor went up a little. Ignores Totalbiscuit, goes on Matt Chat. Totalbiscuit doesn't really do developer interviews so he's seemingly just trying to scrape up the jewgold being generated by the death of GPG, whereas Matt DOES regularly do interviews and got the tons of extra views normally.
Good man Chris.

Oh Hey there Kickstarter fatigue
It seems we have our new million+ project here.

Huh, four days to go and Chris still hasn't officially thrown in the towel.

Probably because people told him not to. From the recent interviews I think he's already preparing to close it all down. Well I hope something good happens for him in the future. He mentioned investors if he got the money (which to me sounds kinda horrible to ask a company going out of business but hey) so hopefully there may be some hope.
I didn't think RPS could get more pretentious but then Grayson arrived.

All they need now is to merge with the escapist and we would have a perfect storm of ego stroking articles until the funds dry up which would lead them to devolve, like other gaming media, into pure cock sucking until another ign is formed.

That doesn't make much sense. If there's a possibility to convince investors he'll want to play the final stretch to the end, hoping for the best possible score.
Oh no another one I won't be able to resist

I'm going by that RPS interview where it sounds a lot like he's accepted it but let's just see what happens I guess.
