Excited, /v/?
Hahahahahaha, holy shit. They're so desperate they're gonna try to make a gameplay demo from out of nothing within the next week. Poor buggers.
This is welcome news. I didn't even think they were going to be able to show anything of the game within the duration of the campaign, I thought they hadn't started development yet.
>>335907236
they make the first doom in the same way
>>335907317
They haven't, they said as much. This means they're gonna desperately cook something up.
>>335906984
>gameplay demo
He actually let it slip during his steam that they have not even started development. A gameplay demo at this point would be a UT4 mod with one or two new resources.
It's dead Jim.
Eh?
>>335908179
What the fuck is going on
>>335908179
Fuck
>>335906984
Already a demo after few days.
Why didn't thy wait with the kikestarter shit to show a demo within it?
>>335908179
IT'S FUCKING REAL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>There’s a hitch here, a hitch that’s making us do something that’s right for the game, the team, and the community: we’re pressing “PAUSE” on the fundraising campaign for BLACKROOM to complete this gameplay demo. Simply put, this will take more time than the Kickstarter has left, so we’ve decided to suspend the campaign and launch a new one when the gameplay demo is ready. We believe, however, it is the right choice. We know you do, too. Thanks to your feedback, we know we should have included it at launch.

Oh fucking wow

>To all of our backers: your support has been incredible and valuable. We will, of course, honor backer achievements in the next campaign (and an extra something for those of you who continue to support us in the next campaign).
>>335908401
I guess that's good? But now all the fucking momentum is completely gone.
They really didn't think this through, did they?
>>335908179
>>335908401
>>335908476
Not cancerous at all. Good on them. However what >>335908509 said is completely true.
It's official, Romero is /v/'s Brendan Fraser
>>335908401
>>335908476
>>335908509
LMAO
It's going to come back with a release date of December 2020. Vapourware here we come.
>>335908509
What momentum?
>>335906984
So the cancelled it to put together a demo and then they're gonna re-start the Kickstarter? Well that's silly but hey, at least it shows he listens. I guess it's a good move overall but I'm still not really hype for it.
>>335908626
Fucking this
>inb4 generic fps
>release date, dec 2020
>r u excited guiz :^))))
>>335908401
I wonder why they didn't think it would be necessary to have at least gameplay video to show when they launched the campaign. Is he so arrogant he thought his name would overflow the coffers in 10 minutes?
>>335908780
Yes
>>335908609
JUST CANCEL MY SHIT UP
>>335908780
>Is he so arrogant
He's always been arrogant.
>>335908401
Actually a good move.
>>335908301
I already questioned why they started the kickstarter so early.
>>335908643
The hype reveal and stuff. If nobody knows about the game the same time the kickstarter is launched it makes journos want to report and people to talk about it. But that's now "reset" until the next kickstarter.
The benefit is that we get to see what the game is like before people pay money upfront. I think Indivisible RPG did that part really well.
This will actually be Daikatana 2
BLOWN THE FUCK OUT
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's the right decision and they did well in making that decision this early, but still.
They were expecting like a million dollars within the first few days so that they could talk about "how surprised" they are by the support and how they have these stretch goals.
Instead they got jackshit and now they need to develop the game. Kind of embarassing 2bh.

>John Romero needs a gameplay demo to get atleast enough money to get the project funded
>Tim Schafer doesn't need a demo or concept even and gets 3.3 million
>>335908780
Pretty much yeah. Did you think age humbled the guy?
I'm ok with this. They clearly saw it only had the momentum to barely reach the target if at all. Better to try again with some real content.
>>335908962
that was before people had realized the risks involved with kickstarter
>>335908962
It's almost like when kickstarter was a new concept, everyone was interested in it and willing to give money away on promises.
Kickstarting games was way easier back then.
is romero even like a programmer, and if he is, is a good one? Also, were him and John Carmack ever friends and are they still?
Unrelated, Romero has fucked a lot of hot bitches in his life.
>>335908962
The trailer/advertisement on the kickstarter was pretty shit thou.
>>335909094
No. Schafer got +3.3 million two times.
>>335906984
This is amazing. Romero & Co. BTFO.
>>335909014
Don't get me wrong, I'm okay with it and they at least got me ready to take another look. I was pretty let down by the "big reveal" so all my hype was gone the day of. I just want it to be good.
Anyone a backer? There's an update titled "Pressing Pause for a Gameplay Demo"
>>335908962
Schafer got 3.3 by riding on the start of the Kickstarter wave, Romero jumped in after many people got careful about scams.

>>335908918
Eh, it was hard to be hyped about a game when the first thing we learnt is that it's not in development yet. I don't think there was any momentum to speak of.
This is a bit embarressing though.
>>335908179
just what is romero up to?
>>335906984
Who showed grandpa how to use hashtags?
>>335909094
>>335909125
>>335909254
It fucking happened twice, fags.
>>335906984
There is a reason he never put a ? question
mark, he didn't want to know the response lol.
>>335908609
More like Brendan Fraser is /tv/'s Romero. Pretty hair John JUSTED his career long before Fraser imploded.
>>335908257
Read the page, retard. They're pausing the ks so they can relaunch it when the gameplay demo is ready.
>>335909126
Romero is a level designer.
He made maps.
>>335908179
>The campaign is generating zero steam
>Hype started and died off in a day
>Instead of making 5 million dollars they would barely make their goal
>"I know, we'll just cancel it and restart it later!"
>>335909597
It's all on that demo. It better be a demo made by god himself, if it's just average, blackroom is dead.
You doubted him /v/?
Are you so used to your corporate master's ways?
He straight up said "fuck it, we're cancelling this kickstarter until I can get you a playable gameplay demo"
Truely, he Did The Right Thing.
I cannot wait.
>>335909693
I'd be shocked if it doesn't look like a mobile version of mobile version of Quake Live.
>>335909410
Why do people back this hack even without any kind of demo or artwork showcase.
Can't honestly wait until he reveals that Psychonauts 2 is going to be iOS exclusive.
>>335908962
anyone that goes to kickstarter these days better have something to show
overload had the same problem until a couple of days before it ended they released a playable teaser which got them over the finishing line
>>335909760
>"fuck it, we're cancelling this kickstarter until I can get you a playable gameplay demo"
Because it didn't make enough money. They thought they'd be at 500k by now. They fucked up. They have to go back and rethink their strategy.
>>335909840
That cannot be real.
>>335909760
Screencap this now. Screencap all the denial, and all the jaded players trying to tear this down.
And when the day comes this demo is put out, we will see them for what they are.
>>335909582
He was a programmer too, Carmack thought Romero was better than him when they first met, but eventually Romero couldn't catch up to Carmack's progress and began to play games more than make them
>>335909847
>anyone that goes to kickstarter these days better have something to show
Unless you are Tim Schafer
>get 3.3
>don't deliver on time
>be a bitch to your backers
>even cut the release in half
>product is mediocre at best
>do a new fundraiser
>get even more than 3.8
>He bought a WiiU
>He bought a PS4
>He bought an XBONE
>He bought a gaming laptop
>He bought a prebuilt
And yet, when it's an obvious kickstarter scam, you fags fall for it every single damn time.
I don't understand how this board tries to act smart when it's actually dumb as all fuck.
>>335910005
Based Tim
>>335909948
It's not, it's a satirical website.
>>335909951
I hope it's good, Anon. I want to believe again.
>>335910046
>because I say so
Romero just want to make the kickstarter camping with de Demo on it.
It similar when they release the demo of the first chapter of the first doom for free son the people wants to play the full game.
>Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator 31 minutes ago.
Uh, not the excited.
>>335909126
He pretty much programmed every environment functionality and coded his own map editor to make the maps. Carmack really just did the engine, which is already made ala Unreal Engine.
>>335910005
What it was funny is how he gave everyone the middle finger by setting the fundraiser to 3.3M
Was Psychonauts really that good?
>>335910321
I played it for several hours, it has nice imagery but it's painfully average as a platformer - good if you haven't played a single third person Japanese game. I guess it was the gimmick of entering people's imagination that sold it well.
The pacing is also completely off, there's tons of boring listless shit you do inbetween action. I also played it on Ps2 and the loading times were abhorrent.
>>335910321
It's good but it's not worth getting scammed out of 3.3M again
This doesn't look very fun
