What a way to start the thread.

>>15753045

>>15753091

We have IDs here, refugee.

I'd say good luck but the kikestarter gives me a sour taste in my tongue.

eitherway, i doubt anyone here would be so willing to drop assloads on that just for empty promises.

I get that you're from AGDG and you have posted real shit there for quite some time.

but so was yandev and that's all i'm going to say about that

>>15753023

At least it's not a Patreon. Where's the demo if you think it's developed enough to start asking for shekels?

>>15753023

Looks pretty good but kickstarter isn't too great. though if you are going full time on this and you do actually fucking release the game rather than running away with the money I'll forgive you

Like the other anon said, is there a demo? I'm poor so I can't give you money but I can give you complimentary compliments free of charge.

>>15753023

You could release a special demo version to 8ch faggots and accidentally mention your kickstarter in some other post. But now it's too late. Fuck off, retard.

Game looks fun.

>Open World 2D Action Adventure apocalypse

Yawn

I shot you some shekels. Been following your project for a while so I wish you good luck.

>>15753125

That would be a alright request if it was board culture

But since it isn't

>Wanting people to follow your demands before they even know about them

>Potentially in conflict with the opinions of other people

I can't possibly imagine appealing for the sensibilities of people I don't even know.

>>15753098

>Acknowledging that you're shilling doesn't make it somehow acceptable bahavior

There have been at least 3 threads I've seen in the last two years that anons here have stated that full disclosure on shilling is okay, provided they are already a part of /v/.

>>15753023

Looks pretty good tbh.

>>15753163

No shit.

You want sheckles?

Post a build right now. I am not fucking around post your build that you got right now. and I'll spend the money I was going to spend on getting a somewhat high profile actor to do a thing for me on your game.

>>15753023

I was going to say you should keep it in /agdg/, but now that you're trying to shill your KS you should kys.

The game doesn't look so bad thought. I wish you look, but you left everyone down with kikery.

Looks cool, might pirate when it comes out, maybe buy if it's good.

>Dude have been posting on agdg forever

>Spergs whinning about kickstarter

How else can an indie dev get money to complete their game then? Sell his soul to a publisher?

I was going to say it's shit but it looks good so fuck you. One thing that pisses me off with most games is how fucking slow the character moves, yours seem to understand he has to run. Not sure if that'll work for normalfags though.

>>15753186

>kikery

Nigger he's only trying to sell his game. He didn't pretend to not be the dev, and didn't lie in any obvious way.

>calling OP a kike

how new are you ? Shilling your own game has always been okay if you're not pretending otherwise.

Good luck anon, I'll pirate your game when it's out and tell you to kill yourself if it's shit.

>>15753230

Plenty of anons, myself included, are making games for completely free, with some planning to release for free, others planning to sell. Either way, money doesn't magically make a game better, and you don't necessarily need money to make a game. I know that having an extra 10-15k wouldn't do shit for me because I don't trust anyone else to deliver my vision, have no use for better hardware because I'm building for as low end as possible, and no use for better software because I pirate everything anyway. Also, look below, as his budget breakdown doesn't make any logical sense anyway.

>>15753232

>It entails me paying people to do work because I want to finish this in my life time, and I don't know how much more of the burden of spending 5 years on something and having nothing to show for it I can take.

Let's assume that you're paying people minimum wage, be as conservative as possible. You would only be able to pay for 1035 hours of work, or 43 days. Who are you hiring that can crank out 5 years worth or work in 43 days? With the budget you have, the people you supposedly want to hire would essentially work for free, and if that's the case, why the fuck do you even need a kickstarter?

>>15753023

oi, nerd, explain the rewards.

All i see is pretty pixel icons, i can understand some of em, but i prefer words.

>>15753163

>I've got nowhere to runaway to.

Then go for it, just don't be a jew and jew up the goals.

Do something like

>$1 for a early access demo which will improve into a bigger demo or something over time

>$2 for previous one but you'll get the ost for free

>$5 dollars for full game only

>$7.50 for full game and ost

>$10 for full game, prototype versions, ost, physical artwork and a little handbook for the game

>$15 for nothing but supporting a well worked dev

subtle reminder that while people may call you a kike you do indeed need money to live if you're planning on going full time, just don't over do it with the monetary plan

>>15753243

He needs money for his game, especially if he wants to do it full time, there's nothing wrong it if you do it correctly in my opinion.

anyone remember the skyrim mod pack patreon thread a while back? That is how you don't do it.

>>15753283

You need money if you work fulltime on the game

>>15753232

>l you on any snake oil, just trying to fund my dream.

THEN FUCKING DO WHAT I SAID YOU FUCKING NIGGER. POST A FUCKING GAME DEMO. YOU SHIT STAIN

>>15753232

>Thanks, I'm not sure if I should just release a torrent myself when I launch?

You're not associated with any publishers, so no trouble should come your way if so.

>>15753295

But "self-salary" was not part of his breakdown. Management is, so let's go with that. It's 12.5%, but if $1875 is going to make or break you, you really shouldn't be doing this full time. I live in a country with ~$400 minimum wage and I wouldn't wage my fucking bets on twice of what he wants to give himself.

Also take into account that it's two people on the team, so assumably, they'd split it in half, or less than a thousand each. That makes everything I've said far worse.

>>15753308

I'm highly doubtful you can get much of anything done with that much money. No self-respecting programmer would work for what I'm estimating to be 25% minimum wage at most. You're far more likely to find people who would do it for free just to test their skills.

>>15753308

>It's tricky to make everything stick out visually enough to convey these game rules, but I think right now it's pretty fun

Keep tinkering with it and giving us some damn demos so we can give our own advice out.

got a video? I can help shill on other sites for 1% cut

>>15753330

I got stretch goals confused with backer rewards for a moment, but my point still stands that most stretchies are not planned for appropriately.

>>15753290

>$2 for the OST

>$5 for the game

>$10 physical artwork and a little handbook

That's really bad pricing. OST should be above the game's price since nobody will buy the OST without the game. The game can't start at $5 or OP will need to sell a massive number of copies to have a chance in hell of making money from it, you start at a high price (not retard high like $50, but even $20 should be doable depending on length, quality, etc, I never researched the topic but I'd err on too high a price over too low) and lower it later on. If you start at $5 you're at the bottom already. A handbook, etc is also a bad idea IMO unless OP is a betting man or only ships it if he has x orders (printing one book is expensive, a few thousand isn't so if he doesn't sell many he'd lose a lot of money, also in your pricing he'd have to do the handbook, the artwork, print everything, put it into envelopes, ship it to the right addresses, etc, for $2.50 each, he'd lose money on that).

>>15753023

Looks good and luck to you!

The MC looks like shit

>>15753352

in all seriousness OP, I will spread word of this to other sites and keep their cancer out of here by not mentioning 8ch. It looks neat and I might back up $20 soon

>>15753384

Not criticizing your game in particular, I'm just annoyed that there are probably at least a few games out there that either failed due to not budgeting for backer rewards/stretch goals or they never completed their initial goals because all the consumer whores said "wheres the merch lol." Your game looks fun and I look forward to playing it.

So to clarify a few things

>It's more like an ARPG such as Diablo where you focus on building up a character rather than a roguelite with permadeath?

>You said you're (partly) inspired by Morrowind but didn't really explain the skill system, do you gain points as you level up which you then pour into a skill or do your skills level up as you use them?

>Is health/mana tied to your level or do you put points into them?

>Are there 'governing' attributes such as strength, intelligence and dexterity or is it all centred around 'concrete skills' such as axes and bows?

Looks interesting, will definitely pirate.

>>15753420

I see my second question was already answered in the .gif above.

Polite sage.

Here's the deal OP. If the game is good and no more than 15 bucks, I'll buy it.

>>15753412

is the video of the KS page on a youtube video? One of the sites doesn't want blatant shilling so a simple link to YT would be perfect.

>>15753283

>falling for the man hours meme

In a one-man shop, money goes into assets and licensing software, that's it. If a programmer is motivated and/or has a day job, they can write code at the cost of nothing but their own time. This is why so many roguelikes exist. Presumably, the dev has something specific in mind he wants to buy, like maybe commission someone to do music and/or sound effects. You usually pay a flat rate for, say, an album of songs. Freelancers don't usually get paid by the hour.

>>15753427

Then it's his job to break it down. Music was a separate section. All he said about where the money is going is

>It entails me paying people to do work because I want to finish this in my life time, and I don't know how much more of the burden of spending 5 years on something and having nothing to show for it I can take.

And

>There isn't 5 more years of work to be done. I wouldn't pay people hourly, and I'd still be doing the vast majority of the work myself.

Besides, even in a flat rate, a person would estimate how long something would take, and how much they'd get paid for it, so it comes out to hourly anyway. No one with any real talent is going to work for that little, and talentless people won't be able to contribute much of worth to the project for that little. As I've said, he might as well have gotten people to work for free.

i want to fuck that eldritch god

>>15753023

>Open World 2D Action Adventure game

>uncover the mysteries of the past

Reminds of my favorite game.

>biggest inspirations for this game are Secret of Mana, Morrowind, and Diablo

Yea, not those.

>randomly and dungeons

God, no. Randomly generated dungeons ruin the whole appeal of exploration. When I discover a secret I want to share it and have a sense of accomplishment. When I'm stuck somewhere I look for a guide. But if it's random I don't bother exploring and just try to finish the dungeon as fast as possible. RNG dungeons fucking retarded.

>>15753442

>No one with any real talent is going to work for that little,

>what is Hotline Miami

>>15753447

Thank you.

>>15753447

>Music is kinda' complicated.

Depending on the kind of music you want you can get it for free, just make sure it's free for commercial use as well. Orchestras have free tracks that can work in fantasy settings but I think most (not all) are non-commercial only.

This game actually looks kinda cool. I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic exploration.

Hope you keep with it and release a good product, m8.

>>15753023

At least you're honest, but you should've shilled on Demo Day.

So check my dubs.

>>15753493

where the dubs at?

>>15753330

>>stretch goals

>This literally ruined Kickstarter as a concept.

if i used kickstarter, i'd make the stretch goals some extremely simplistic that absolutely does not require the asked amount of money, as a joke. and people would probably still throw money at it "ironically", assuming the actual base game is good enough to meet the main goal.

>>15753447

>>15753476

One of the advantages of being a pixel-art game is that it can lower people's expectations for the music. Since people tend to associate that style with the snes something that just makes use of simple soundfonts from that era would not seem out of place.

Fellow /agdg/ poster, hope your project succeeds. I always wanted to fund the game I'm working on, so I've got my eyes on you. But either way, it's great to see something that's been posted for so long become more and more complete.

Good luck.

>>15753615

>pledge $5,000.00 to hang out with a bunch if poorfags

>>15753493

>At least you're honest

Kosher Shilling is Kosher

Hey anon your game looks pretty cool. Reminds me of AlttP but with far more interesting items and weapons.

I have a few questions if you don't mind answering them(sorry if you've answered these elsewhere)

1. Do the weapons exclusively affect enemies or can they be used to affect and alter the environment? (Like hidden areas or shortcuts)

2. Is there any form of player choice in terms of the protagonist storyline? Like multiple endings depending on how you approach the final mission. For that matter does my character talk and or have speech options. (Not that i would even want them) MGS offered a non lethal playstyle etc etc

3. Would it be possible to set it to 120fps and 4k? A game with this style of graphics would look absolutely stunning in smooth 120fps at that size. Instead of the zoomed in tiles were used to.

OP, how long have you been working on this

>>15753023

I know you need the shekels so you and your buddy can make vidya without needing to get a better job, but if you're expecting money from here then you've come to the wrong place. Since I've seen you around in the /agdg/ threads I'm sure I don't need to tell you how many times people have been duped by kickstarters.

>>15753157

Woah, 3 threads?! Well I guess if some randoms said it was okay within the past couple years then it must be okay. And /v/ is one person after all, so the opinions of one poster are the opinions of all posters.

>>15753246

>Nigger he's only trying to sell his game

Not really. Selling the game would imply finishing it and then selling it. Kikestarter is a jewish tactic.

>>15753686

5 years allegedly.

>Hang out with the devs in Prague! Backer must supply own transport and accommodation.

The previous backer reward is $1,000, this one is $5,000, so that means you think $4,000 is what the privilege of meeting you is worth since you aren't paying for transportation or accommodation. You're making an uglier Binding of Isaac with more numbers tacked on and you actually think anyone is gonna cough up $4,000 JUST to meet you nobodies? Even if you put it there ironically, it still looks stupid as fuck to everyone reading it. Get rid of it if you can and replace it with "We'll pay you to spit on our faces!", maybe someone will consider it then

>>15753732

>If the songs were good

You tell me. I think it evokes an Elona feel.

https://my.mixtape.moe/sqnyah.mp3

>>15753051

I'll do better than this guy, OP. I'll toss you a few silvery nickels if you suck my cock regardless of whether or not you're a woman. You don't have to be in my area, either. You can pay for a flight here, I'm okay with that.

with the amount of content in that gif alone, if this is not just animated to look like a game and that is actually gameplay. Just put it on steam early access you dumb fuck.

It looks pretty fun OP. You ought to set up a demo. Good luck.

>>15753023

OP, you know all it takes is one little shit to link you to 8ch and they might take down your KS ?

by careful and find some other alternative.

>>15754023

>How many is a few?

That depends on how good you are with your mouth, my friend.

>>15754023

>I feel like early access would be a detriment to what I want the final product to be.

If you purely want to release your game and be done with that it can work, but you have to keep the update constant while juggling with your schedule so that you keep your deadline vague enough to still be able to meet them consistently while still having them be clear enough that people can get excited for them, although that require people to care about your shit to begin with and that's hard, even the more successful /agdg/ anon barring a couple more extreme examples have barren wastelands for communities

Now the problem is that your EA launch is your final launch, if you expect a "real launch" surge of interest when you drop 1.0 you're dead fucking wrong, although one thing you can play with is using the PC version to finish your game and as a trampoline into other platforms since for some reason launching an existing game on an other platform seems to actually spike the interest of people.

>>15754108

Yeah those were better times though, WSW wasn't a long gone dream and tetrachrome wasn't a dumpster fire said I would release the preview build if the dev didn't show signs of life for over a year, see you next september , hell even a couple people making "my first game"-tier games got some fairly good feedback.

>>15754140

the 2nd gif looks freaking toyetic

>>15754140

>Would you like a link so you can throw all your money at me through the screen?

Are you retarded enough to have that kind of talent and yet not want people to fund your shit?

>>15753023

Looks good OP, how long until you have a demo or something at least playable? I'm not opposed to supporting your project but would like at least something to see in the meantime. At least the Cube World dev had a simple proof of concept demo to hand out to supporters

>dev moved from Detroit to Prague

They accept niggers in the Czech Republic?

>>15753023

<Kickstarter

<in 2018

Anon, you missed the train

<Kickstarter

<in 2018

<without something playable

I really hope you don't have your hopes set on this Kickstarter passing it's goal. You're like 5 years late and without a demo no one is going to give a shit. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you'll finish your game regardless, but Kickstarter is basically a dead platform these days thanks to the massive scams and massive failures that have been run on it, unless you come with something seriously attention grabbing I don't think you stand a chance there.

>>15754211

All OP has to do is say it's inspired by Chrono Trigger and it will make a million. There's something about Chrono Trigger fans that makes them throw money at fucking anything. Banjo would work too but this isn't really a 3D platformer.

>>15754239

As long as it has a large protagonist accompanied by a small flying friend, they'll think it's good enough.

>>15754245

So a Sanic fangame starring Big the Cat and Tails?

>>15754255

Get Kirkhope to do a track as a stretch goal and you're set for life.

>>15753023

Nice. Any plans for co-op mode? Also, if you can't meet the ks requirement, will development be postponed?

>>15754218

Honestly I don't think even that would help. The days of some random faggot being able to claim he's making the next spiritual successor to a beloved game and get cash for it are long over. Again, it's been done to death already and people aren't buying it anymore. Kickstarter is dying, Fig is on it's way out too. Now if OP had someone from the Chrono Trigger team working with him that may change things, but even then I kind of doubt it given how many big kickstarters with industry vets I've seen fail recently.

>>15754361

All the conmen have already made their cash and milked all the suckers. The well is now poisoned.

>>15754361

>Fig is on it's way out too.

Fig was in at some point? Last I heard, the earliest campaigns on the site waited over half a year to collect the good goy shekels because they registered each game as a shell company, as otherwise, they could not ask for more than a million per campaign.

>>15754379

I do think it's fair to call Fig DOA, the only successful campaigns I saw on there were previously established franchises.

>>15754375

Exactly.

>>15753023

Put some monster girls in and I'll buy it.

>>15754207

Well your opinion certainly had more credibility when I was under the impression you had any actual skill. And no, I don't donate to kickstarters, ever. But I also know OP isn't just some shmuck who showed up out of nowhere, given his prior involvement with agdg.

>>15753649

Factually untrue, an AGDG anon released his own game named speebot and that was well recived, but heres the thing.

He released it.

There was no kikestarter page, no patreon, no gofuckme.

He just put his game up for sale and even gave a demo out for those who wanted to try it.

This is a key difference and is why /v/ is hating on devs like yandev and OP but not speebot anon.

We like AGDG, just not when their kikes.

>>15754631

wasn't Monolith also from the AGDG threads?

>>15754631

The big difference between Speebot and OP's game is scale. Speebot had a lot of levels and a custom engine but with a small asset pool: OP's game uses a custom framework but is more mechanically complex and needs more assets. I'm concerned that he's bitten off more than he can chew.

>>15754081

you should know better that Labirynth has been here since 2014, has posted functional demos and is legit though you clearly are new and trying to fit in too hard

I live near Prague. I could probably find OP and meet him. But I don't feel like doing that even for free, much less for $5k. Why do devs even include this retarded "reward" like they were some big celebs? What would we even do if we did meet? Greet each other, go "so you make a game, huh?" and then sit in awkward silence to the sound of spilling spaghetti?

>There isn't 5 more years of work to be done. I wouldn't pay people hourly, and I'd still be doing the vast majority of the work myself.

I feel like the issue they're presenting you with is they want you to be more specific with what you'll be doing with all that money, what specifically it's needed for.

I understand budgeting is pretty difficult for people who aren't into finance and people always end up undershooting the number, but at least give them a rough estimate. That's what they want.

>>15758885

LOL

*raises hoof*

No.

Finish your shit and release it.

If it's good people will buy it.

>>15753023

Well, been watching your work for some time, so I'll give a few leftover Thanksgiving shekels. And Dev-OP, some advice, contact and get some youtubers or niche game sites to spread the word of your game. And good luck in the future and don't be a cuckdev.

>>15753023

Need a musicguy?

>>15760398

Kickstarter has its problems, but the idea is good.

t. poorfag devlord. I'd develop games full time if I had money and quit my wageslave job.

Hey, congrats OP. That's a big achievement. I ain't making any promises but I'll give the KS a look.

>>15753101

>I get that you're from AGDG […] but so was yandev

I don't remember him ever posting in the /agdg/ threads or on the board, he always used his own threads because he was too much of a special snowflake.

>>15753101

cuckdev was never part of /agdg/. Not one trace of him in the archives.

>>15753023

The concept looks nice, but you should put out some sort of demo or early build just for some examples of it. It would be better to do that before making a kickstarter just to show an example of what your game is to potential backers.

>>15756351

>>15754140

He is being up front about his shilling. If he was hiding it, then you would have a point about him being a huge faggot. As it stands now, you are just being some newfag trying to act like an oldfag who keeps ignoring the dev has been here for years.

I hope you the best for your game, Anon. It looks better every time I see some progress

>>15754081

Lurk more

>>15763316

Sounds okay to me.

>>15763316

Sounds good. I was considering backing the game anyway, but if you can provide a solid demo that shows off the engine you've built then I will be much more inclined to throw shekels your way.

>>15763316

You could've just done that from the start.

>>15753023

>no demo

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like giving potential chumps customers an idea of what the game's actually going to be like might make more inclined to give it the time of day. Especially since even big names in gaymen completely shit the bed with massively successful kikestarters.

>>15753023

>Looking to line my pockets with enough coin to not have to kill myself

>If you're not interest giving me money, I understand, KS is stupid.

Self-deprecation is not an attractive trait and you've already convinced me that this is not worth my time. If you don't care about your own craft, why should I?

How much to get my OC self insert in there? Do I have to pay extra to have it sprited?

I'll look forward to the demo OP. It looks interesting from the gifs but I won't put money on something until I've played it a little.

>>15764385

Looking at the kikestarter it'll set you back about $175 to try and ruin the game with your cancerous OC.

>>15764391

That's not really obnoxious enough for me.

>>15753023

>>15764366

I'll have to agree with this. Self-deprecation is fucking gay. I do hope the game comes out. I'll only support it once it's out though.

>5 years in development

>no demo

It's not easy for me to say because it's obvious you put a lot of time into this, but still, I would consider that a serious oversight

And surely it's not too late to package up several sections of the game and then forge a screen that says 'Thanks for playing the interactive teaser!' or whatever

>>15764995

>>15763316

>>15763316

>>15753023

wow OP, you already are at 1/5 of your goal

neat.

I will take a look at this once a playable demo or something thatalike is out. Otherwise, this title will just be another ship stranded on the shore of broken dreams.

I wish you luck OP. I believe you can do it.

Focus on getting the word out about your shit everywhere you can now, send it out to as many media outlets that aren't cancer as you can, and shill in every small forum or niche subleddit you can as those will be the places most receptive to this. Be sure to answer every person who asks a question about your shit and be as nice as you can to everyone, even ones who say your game looks like shit. You can turn anyone into a person who will want your project to succeed and will help you do it if you treat them well. Your shit actually has some nice presentation and it looks bretty decent. I think you'll be able to get it funded, but you cannot afford to be complacent right now.

You should make marketing material as well, that gif is a good example, shit like that will work. Any unique pixel arts or whatever will also be good as well.

on a more disappointed side note, no physical copies? Even at some of these more higher tiers?

Kinda disappointing, in my opinion. I understand its not for every developer though I suppose.

>>15764366

He's clearly being tongue-in-cheek for the first part, and acknowledging that people have problems with crowdfunding in the second

His work is what shows that he clearly cares about this project.

>>15767794

It's just phrased in a slightly ambiguous way, I have no doubt that OP has suicidal tendies and can only share it through "jokes".

So how are you gonna deal with being from h8chan? I been following your game for quite some time now, at least a few years and I always posted asking for what your game was called since I always forgot it. Looking forward to it. I hope I can play as a thot loli.

>>15771686

Its best to, in general, set low goals for kikestarter if you're an indie dev and especially one without any real connections. High goals for indie games result in failure 99% of the time and even low goals like that result in failure probably 60-80% of the time.

Speaking of which: OP, your campaign is fucking stalling, stop being retarded, make a fucking update about the progress of the campaign and the percentage of its funding and keep fucking going with this, you dumbass.

>>15760365

>it's investment

>but it's actually completely different

>it's the Dark Souls of investment you see

>>15771706

yeah but then this fag brings up a valid counterpoint considering there isn't a demo or anything

>>15754140

>>15754207

>>15771737

Yeah, its riskier than kickstarters with demos, but kickstarter in general is riskier than regular types of funding for a game. Maybe he doesn't have that would serve as playable yet. It seems like he's largely got mechanics down, but hasn't put it into any noteworthy contexts or ones that would work in a demo yet from what I can gather from the page and how he has responded in the thread.

I can't really answer for the developer; its something to be wary about to be sure but the assets and shit he has put together are respectable enough.

He's answered questions about that and says he "might be able to" here.

>>15753384

and says he's going to try to do it here

>>15763316

>>15771686

This so hard. It's going to get pulled the moment (((they))) get wind of him being from this n*zi website.

>>15771799

Didn't Notch used to post of halfchan? As long as OP isn't stupid and doesn't start showing his power level he should be fine. It's just networking and trying to get funding from as many sources as possible as far as anyone is concerned. The only ones who would actually care are places like Kotaku so they can write a hit piece or 2.

>>15771799

Anon, Czech Republic isn't the UK. The government is too busy covering its corruption scandals to engage in thought policing, and if any (((activist))) tried shutting it down, the dev would likely make bank from all the people funding it out of spite. The migrant crisis pushed the normalfag population to the right, and most such activists are seen as borderline traitors.

>>15771830

and pewdiepie was a /v/irgin

>>15753023

Looks cool, OP. I'll give it a try when it's out.

>>15771686

>>15771799

The gimmick is to get anons here to early adopt because Kickstarter's dumb enough to bump up projects that are already getting lots of money in a short span of time. It's not the first time or last time this strategy's been used, intentional or no.

Best of luck OP, it looks like you've already been bumped up on the project page so there's a good chance you'll succeed.

>>15771919

Except kickstarter would just scrap the project and the devs get nothing.

>>15753023

i have been following your work bruv, it looks pretty gud if i say so myself. upon the day of its release i shall plunder it.

Congrats on reaching your goal. So where did you shill this anyway? It fucking jumped by a heap suddenly.

>>15778239

Yeah, what the hell? I checked earlier and it was like $11,000 like 4 hours ago

>>15778255

Man I need to come up with some cool demo art and screenshots so I can scam people out of 11 grand too.

How much would I have to donate to a giant dick as a boss fight put in the game?

As he emerges, he emits projectiles that you have to avoid and spawns enemies that you have to defeat. It gets more difficult the further he goes.

>>15753023

>>15778524

Well looks like it's funded,we did it redditi guess that demo is never ever

>>15778239

>reddit

>>15767782

Physical rewards are one of the top reasons kickstarter projects fail, retards underestimate how much it costs to make and send that shit, both money- and time-wise.

>>15779608

You think 5 years of work is "really that easy"?

Polish matters more than just "nice visuals". Plenty games with less pretty graphics have been kickstarted, but the main difference between games that do and games that don't is generally polish, and showcasing a good amount of content. Usually people make a Vertical Slice for Kickstarter purposes, which basically means a small segment of the game at a finished state. This game not only has that, but outright has what appears to be a decent game already done and just needs more content.

Also seems the largest influx of pledges came after OP posted about the project on plebbit, so your question would be better framed as "is getting money from plebbit really that easy?" to which the answer is: yes.

Just saw this thing shoot up to 21k, what happened

DO NOT GIVE MONEY THIS GUY SHILLS ON REDDIT

>>15779716

Wow, way to go, OP. You fucking idiot. You thought we wouldn't find out about your little kike scheme? Trying to get money from us AND reddit? It's one or the other, kiddo - you don't get to double dip. You can be goddamn sure I will mention this in every Aethyr thread ever made from now on, and no anon will ever give you money.

ANYONE WHO DONATED TO THIS GARBAGE, CALL YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND ASK FOR A CHARGEBACK!

>>15779754

Fuck off, apologist. You and your ilk make me sick.

>>15779800

It doesn't help that there's probably at least a few autists on here who unironically believe what you said.

Personally I think advertising on there is simply logical, actively catering to them on the other hand is retarded. And that's exactly what Yandev did, which just proves my point.

>>15779761

>>15779903

here's your (You)

>>15780110

Don't you have a safe for work and advertiser friendly board to shit up?

I guess what I've got to say is redundant since the kickstarter succeeded anyway, but whatever.

>Aethyr

It's not a good title. I'm surprised you completed the kickstarter with a title so forgettable. I guess reddit will throw money at anything. You weren't ever going to take this to a publisher, but I think if you did they'd tell you the same thing. Sometimes popular games use made up words, but never ones that are this awkward: Greek/Latin words like "Aether" don't normally use the letter "y" in that kind of context so the whole thing looks really messy.

This is kind of autistic even for a native English speaker, but in English most of the unwritten rules for how things are "meant to be" really come from the languages that English pilfered the words from to begin with. There are things that seem like they would be possible in English but don't work because they combine roots from two different languages or use the wrong suffix for the language that the word came from originally.

But I guess the kickstarter's done so it's way too late to think about doing anything about that now.

>The main character.

I guess he's just a placeholder for the create-a-character, but in that case you should show some of that system in the promotional material. Games with custom characters like this still need a distinctive looking character to promote themselves - if you think about Oblivion, Skyrim or Dark Souls, even if nobody ever makes a character that looks like the guy on the box, they all have armor sets that match it and are clearly unique to their games.

By definition this guy is going to be the center of all the gameplay you show, so he needs look cooler if he's going to draw people in.

Make sure to add reflections on the slippery ice. I guess it's not top priority but showing off the ice physics without all the visual effects is good for /agdg/ but not so much for actual promotion.

Without a demo there isn't really any chance to get feedback on more than the promotional material you've put out.

Alright, you got your shekels, you'll probably get twice as much as you asked for by the end of this. Don't fuck it up.

congrats on winning the kickstarter. good luck with the game.

>>15780910

Probably more like 3-5x as much. These kinds of things get a huge boost at the end.

>>15781750

There's nothing wrong with taking money from nigger cattle as long as he doesn't rape the game in the process. I've made hundreds off a single reddit post, and in this guy's case, passing up tens of thousands of dollars is unthinkable.

If single 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, game gets released and is moderately fun.

If single 2, 4, 6 ,8, or 0, game never gets released.

If odd-number dubs, game gets released and is amazing.

If even-number dubs, OP pockets the money and is arrested several months later in Thailand after being found with the body of a child prostitute.

If odd-number trips, OP's game leads to him having a successful time designing more games and all of his dreams come true.

If even-number trips, the game somehow leads to him getting murdered.

If quads of any kind, his game leads to a bizarre turn of events that trigger the race war.

>>15783288

Thailand it is, have fun OP.

>>15783288

that's all well and good op

He's been shilling on plebbit for 5 years, i don't think he cares.

>>15783969

And he's never been driven away from here? I'm surprised.

>>15783971

I got curious and had a look at the thread in reddit. Looks like the artist does all the posting in reddit and acts like a typical reddit sperg.

When is the mega link going to come out?

>Asking money from /v/ and reddit on kikestarter

3 years in development, no demo, just lots of gifs. The belief that the average person is capable of critical thinking or self-governance is untenable.

>>15784184

Go take a helicopter ride.

>>15785677

Basically, you post here to make your game good, which is one way to make your game profitable. Then you post on reddit to get an endless stream of money and ass-kissing. the good part is optional, but helps

>>15785764

>>15785677

As a dev: You get honest, unfiltered feedback by a community of elitists that grew up and understand what makes games fun

As anon: You get to call devs faggots to their faces with no repercussions

>>15783780

Who's to say he's not the friend?

>>15785677

He's been here for at least 2-3 years if my memory serves me right, I seen his shit posted here in early anon game dev threads. Posting in reddit easily gave him the 20k, while here? Probably a couple hundred bucks.

Some benefits around here? See what everyone is working on, get honest brutal thoughts on your game and its down to a select few which you can read compared to the hundreds of hive mind fag who will never or will not criticize your game. Also steal ideas from us.

>>15779716

He was told to :^):

<Honestly, if you're going to crowdfund, you should try Reddit.

>>15785880

<Honestly, if you're going to crowdfund, you should try Reddit.

He's right though. Why take the hard-earned neet shekels of anons, when you can fleece Reddit left and right? Once the game comes out and anons have verified it's worth paying for, then they can pay for it

>>15785875

Anybody who dared give honest and good criticism would also get down voted into oblivion and the the top comment would "Wow this looks so gud XDXD"

>>15785886

That's why he was talking about here when he mentioned honest and good criticism.

>>15785885

It's like with art: if you can into art and want money you draw fun shit here for free in drawthreads, and make a killing drawing furshit.

>>15785872

That might be the case, I'd assume OP is the programmer if he has spent a lot of time in the AGDG. Would seem like there are better places to hang around for a dedicated artfag.

From plebbit in response to people asking for player housing.

>Haha I wish I had the power. He is the programmer guarding my mischievous changes but I think he will warm up to the idea when he wakes up and sees how many people want it. We already have the assets so the chances are good.

>>15785875

>>15785880

>>15785885

>>15785886

Stealing money from paypiggies on plebbit sounds good to me, just don't read or take suggestions from them.

It's not like there are many people here which are willing and dumb enough to throw money at a product they can't immediately play. Game honestly seems like it has potential and as if it contains many mechanics I enjoy, would pay ~$10-20 after pirating if good.

>>15785961

the gameplay's fun but the art's shit

haven't played though

>>15785955

The /agdg/ project with waifus is another one anon

>>15785966

I like the art it just needs scanlines.

>>15785961

All I care about is the end product, if the dev(s) seem like good people I'll be more optimistic but it wont affect how much or little I will eventually enjoy the game.

>>15785980

Funny, I usually don't botch spoilers in spoilers but that's what I get for trying to get fancy.

>>15785981

>All I care about is the end product

This is the best way to look at it. "Is the game good?" is always my big question.

>>15785971

Why is the player character Generic McFag instead of a cute girl, or at least a generic cute girl?

>>15753163

>I made the "design your own" shit to specifically allow for ambiguity for me to have entire creative control.

>They're basically all content that was planned for the game, but I'm just choosing to monotize it.

You are still betraying your own plans. Sure, you planned to have these things in the game already, but you are selling people the opportunity to replace whatever design you would have come up, that would mesh well with all your other designs, with whatever random and likely memey joke shit they can pull out of their ass. How the hell is "random people can pay to design shit" "entire creative control"?

For a thousand dollarydoos you can make the most cancerous boss ever.

I think the game looks gay and lame, but every other thread I've seen where a dev has shilled the game full disclosure it's generally had a positive response. Just look back at the Speebot thread and when the voice actor for Candyman popped into the Lethal League Blaze thread and started talking about the game.

Guess it's just more cancer growing on /v/.

>>15788246

I know right 2D and indie games are stupid, anything less than PUBG is literally gay

>>15788241

If OP confirms playable lolis I'll throw in 175 bucks and the character I get to add will be a loli names Hate-chan.

Speaking of which: Op's friend:

>Thanks! Stardew Valley is awesome and Eric Barone's work on it is inspiring. Hopefully my friend will buckle to peer pressure, I keep asking for a player house/garden :P

What do you guys make of this shit? I'm inclined to disapprove because it sounds like it's attempting to turn the game into a genre it's decidedly not (which is typically a recipe for disaster as player housing is one of those things that screams "feature creep" as people start bitching and moaning for all kinds of things to decorate their homes and gardens with next), but we still don't know that much about the game proper. I do suspect it's rather out of scope, but depending on how the game wants to play to survivalist elements developing shelter/lodging might be a serious aspect. Then again if the MC is going to keep roaming from one place to the next a permanent home won't work well either.

OP is a dumbass for walking out of the /agdg/ thread.

>>15799673

>>>/pol/

>>15799691

How hard are you hiveminding to have internalized all that shit to the point of slavish adherence? The problem with pixelshit isn't that it's pixel art. The problem is that they are typically pretty fugly and want hipster cred for looking "oldschool" even though the actual pixel art games of the day looked way the fuck better. Openworld and kickstarter similarly aren't problems per se, it's just that their execution is typically dubious and shit.

He got the money, but can he handle all those redditors including the artist? I feel like he'll either get pozzed or get too bitter from all the reddit cancer to make a good game.

>>15800072

Notice how he's not "the artist", he's the "artist friend", which means OP is fine being friends with leftist soy drinking redditors. The likelihood that this game will get cucked as the reddit infection slowly seeps in are not low.

>>15800339

I like to watch people get handed the world and then throw it all away due to their own incompetence or degenerate ideals. This'll be a fun one.

>I mean, yanderedev was absolutely right about how this place is absolute vicious

Not really. 99% of the feedback I get on my devving and demos has been positive and the 1% that isn't is usually blanket shitposting that is calling everyone's progress shit. Yandev got shit because of how he acted and his shoddy work ethic.

>Personally I don't care for any race or culture, I feel that ethnonationalism will fade away with globalism and eventually (several hundered years) we won't be thinking of things in terms of race.

>Genes don't work that simply though, if you want to get rid of "bad genes" you need full scale sterilisation of carriers, and in doing so would probably lose plenty of useful genes along the way. Eugenics doesn't work.

>Well if Europe does devolve into nationalism we can just get another historic reminder of how shitty an ideology it is.

>There are no such thing as white countries, no european country obstructs citizenship on the basis of race.

>There are 19million muslims in Europe, many have lived there for generations. European nations are neither white nor christian nations.

>Culture and Race are not inherently linked. To say so is racist. If a black person is born in England they are just as English as anyone else.

>Your culture doesn't actually run through your blood as magical as that sounds. At the end of the day culture doesn't matter and it is just another thing holding us back from a post racial society.

>There is no reason to have ethnic pride unless you are racist.
