And it hadn't even left the first page this time.We already have a Kickstarter thread for Video games, which was already an amalgamation of two threads. We don't need more than one. Can we get this merged? Again?
What, do you WANT the game to suck?Me too. It's the perfect game for me in almost every sense of the word. I look forward to its dev cycle... maybe even an Anticipation Station by year's end?
It looks like this game isn't happening after all -- the $122,000 that was raised through Kickstarter has been spent and there is no end product to show for it. The project author didn't itemize his expenses, so there isn't even a good accounting of where all of the money went. Lawsuits are no doubt on the horizon.
The big guys might be floundering but tons of indies are doing well. I'd say it's doing alright.Is it just me or does it seem like that's happen more often than not with Kickstarters? Double Fine have yet to deliver their game, for example, (and has continually needed MORE money) and you've had some that are way overhyped like the Ouya. You have some success stories, like FTL or Shadowrun, but am I wrong in seeing there are are a lot more misses than hits when it comes to Kickstarter?
Has the hype for what oculd have been a great thing died down because too many people are ruining it for others?
I think you'd have to break down Kickstarter by field to get a better view of what's working. I'm betting musician's Kickstarters are doing a lot better than electronics. If the songs are already written, and the money goes to recording and publishing, it's a lot easier to project the expenses than it is for developing the latest tech doo-dad.Is it just me or does it seem like that's happening more often than not with Kickstarters?

Cryptozoic, the makers of the hex TCG (alpha at the end of September) http://www.hextcg.com/ have promised to make and give every backer a free copy of The Doom That Came To Atlantic CityIt looks like this game isn't happening after all -- the $122,000 that was raised through Kickstarter has been spent and there is no end product to show for it.
