What will John Romero do now that his game Blackroom has become Unbacked room and he promptly cancelled it? Kickstarter made him their bitch, and he had no choice but to suck it down.
>>

I know this is bait but I will bite, he pulled it down until they have a demo for the game.

He clearly did that because the Kickstarter was a failure

>muh damage control
>>
>>336137031
Yeah and? He saw the mistake and stopped while he was ahead to fix the problem for the next time.
>>
>>336136436
The funding was insufficient, or he would have let it ride. He didn't just launch the kickstarter and say "Oops! I forgot the demo! Let's try this 6 months later!"

Honestly, the concept sounds weak anyways. I want to believe in him, but his focus isn't narrow enough.
>>
>>336136436
He woudn't have done that if the stream was a success

He thought everyone would support him based on who he was, the bitch

It was cancelled a day later.

Because the first day is supposed to be some of the strongest funding the project will ever get. The projections were way low, so even after 1 day, canceling makes a lot of sense.

He's partially untrue. The first project was designed by Tom Hall and Romero's wife Brenda. John Romero was just part of the dev team and promoted the campaign through his name but it wasn't his game.

Look at how a typical kickstarter project carries out. The first few days are vital as for the rest of the backing period the pledges fall down drastically and only slightly pick up when it's ending.

He probably spent 2 days tops on each of those maps. I don't see how designing maps for such an old game equates to being able to design for a newer full 3d game. they were fun but it doesn't equate to skill in the modern vidya industry.

How so? Are you saying that modern shooting games have to be linear as fuck?
>>
>>336144079
3d and 2.5d aren't that far off gameplay design wise. 3d games offer more verticality and that's about it. Some shooters don't even use that well.
>>
>>336144386
>2.5d
when will this meme end?
2.5D are 2D Games with 3D Graphics like New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Doom is a 3D game with sprites

What are you even talking about now? 3D FPS games are a lot more complex than 2D platformers dude. Why would you even compare them?
>>
>>336144364
>Thinking Romero can make a good modern game because he made 2 doom levels.
I'm not saying he can't do it, I'm saying that making two doom levels proves nothing in a world with three dimensions.
>>
There have been several contenders to resurrect twitch shooters and nobody turned their head when they were released. Shadow Warrior, Hard Reset, Serious Sam 3, Rise of the Triad - all failed miserably. And now this.

And they failed for a reason. What you want is essentially archaic gameplay in current-gen graphics.

Just let it go, its clear that the market isn't there.

All of them have shitty level design and poor gameplay design. Build engine games usaually has good level design turning around the gameplay elements.

They failed because incompetence
>>
>>336144760
>Shadow Warrior, Hard Reset
And that's why SW is getting a sequel? Hard Reset fared well enough to fund SW.

The only shooter games that are not doing good are multiplayer focused ones. Singleplayer ones are pretty successful in this regard. Romero's game will be primarily singleplayer with coop and multiplayer features of second importance.

And what exactly do I lose if he fails? It's not like he's making a choice between curing cancer and making this game. Society loses nothing for him to attempt it. I mean the guy probably does nothing but hang around Gamestop all day hoping someone will recognize him and then get them to buy him lunch.

Let him work on the game, it'll probably be crap, but it might be good. We have nothing to lose if it fails and something to gain if it succeeds.
