Is it ever a smart idea? Even with honest attempts such as Wasteland 2, the results are never good.
>>
>>342125695
What about Shovel Knight
>>
This really doesn't even have anything to do with Kickstarter, it's all Inafune. The game would have sucked regardless even if it was funded by traditional means with a publisher. It's just a game that happened to be on kickstarter, meanwhile tons of Kickstarter games have happened been made and came out that are totally fine if not really good to great.

Kickstarter games are only good when development has progressed a decent amount beforehand, and could probably ship without the cash if they really wanted to. FTL is a good example of this. Yooka Laylee is looking amazing and thats another game that could've launched without kickstarter.
>>
>>342125695
Divinity: Original Sin
Shovel Knight
Wasteland 2 ( it is fun you stupid nigger )
FTL
Pillars of Eternity ( it's okay )
Banner Saga

Darkest Dungeon

Games shaping up to be great:
Div OS 2
Squad
EVERSPACE

there is probably dozens of other good games coming out of kickstarter I don't know about

I did. I needed to look forward to something and a Megaman spiritual successor fit the bill well. Didn't know as much as I thought I did about the development of Megaman.

The concept art looked solid and so did their gameplay ideas.

Overall it will be an ok game, but a ton of wasted potential and hype.

Div OS: EE is one of best games made in the past 10 years (and maybe the only RPG game where higher difficulty=better AI) and Div: OS 2 should be a lot better. FTL is great, POE was a decent 6/10.

FTL should be the prime example of kickstarter games being good. That game is very well made.

A product making its money back before it can prove its worth is never a good idea.
Just give it a few more years when all the kickstards will be burned one too many times for the free market to kick in. I just fear that a new generation of stupid teenagers with too much access to daddy's money will get into the scene before that happens. Shitty posts like >>342127206 that point out the few minor anecdotal exceptions to the rule are only making things worse.

It already has become increasingly harder to get backed unless you worked for AAA

It looks great, but we're still completely unable to gauge it since we have nothing besides trailers and screenshots to go by.
For all we know, it could also end up being a huge turd. Hopefully not, but it's possible.
>>
>>342125695
It's like investing, except you don't make a cut if the product is succesful and instead get the satisfaction of helping to create something you want and maybe a free copy of the game and some other ueless shit.

Technically it's less intelligent than investing, because you don't have to like a product to invest in it because in the end you can get money.

So is it a smart idea? This depends soley on how much you want the game and whether or not the devs are competent enough to deliver a product that reaches all their claims. People proved conman was a conman long before this thing was funded, so people who contributed were fools who didn't do their research.
>>
>>342129817

FTL was great tho

>>342125695

shovel knight, wasteland 2, all the shadowrun games, serpent in the staglands, underrail, age of decadence

dont get me wrong, crowd funding/greenlight/early access is usually a scam job, but it has also brought us some of the best games of recent years

There've been good crowdfunded games, it's just that the ones that tend to be by big budget studios are massively self-indulgent and bloated, resulting in shitty delayed releases.

Get shit like FTL, Darkest Dungeon amongst others that come out of nowhere and actually find a decent audience.

Say what you want about publishers but for big studio's it's been shown that publishing houses are sometimes a lesser evil and an effective way to actually get a project done in a timely manner.
>>
>>342131583

Shenmue will get substantial publisher funding and will still likely be a massive disaster.

It goes down to the individual work and developer team. Plenty of great games came from the system:

>PoE
>Divinity: Original Sin
>Shovel Knight
>Darkest Dungeon
>Undertale

Hell, the last one was made by literally one dude. But the thing all those games had in common is that they SHOWED their assets, not fronted an idea like Mighty No.9 or Yooka. Darkest Dungeon demonstrated its mechanics and layouts before asking for money. Shovel Knight showed off gameplay and had a backing concept before asking for money. Undertale had an entire playable demo before asking for money.

Seeing a pattern? Don't throw cash at individuals/developer teams asking for funds before they can show you they're capable of doing something worthwhile with them.

FFXV looks okay from the gameplay they've shown imo, probably wait a couple weeks after release to see if it's glitchy or unfinished

All games on kickstarter show their assets. It's literally a requirement to form a new backing campaign, otherwise Kickstarter doesn't accept it. Backing an incomplete game is a shit idea regardless.

The difference is that all the games he named had polished, finished asset demos or viewable, finished gameplay. Every single failed Kickstarter game fails to do this and shows concept art or modeling or gimmicky details rather than the rounded game itself.

Publishers are businessmen trying to decide what the public want and force developers to change accordingly but you'd have to be a fool or know nothing about the industry to think they'd never refuse to publish/back a good game.

Your anecdote on how you play games doesn't change the fact that crappy fanbases are more attracted to a certain few things that swells into the entire internet.

There are respectable fanbases out there. Megaman is one of them. Sure there's a tard out there but it's nowhere like Sonic's devoted following. Also Sonic's gameplay was always shit imo, so it doesn't surprise me a crappy game got its defense force all these years ago.
>>
>>342134306
It depends on the opportunity cost of the game to make. Essentially, Kickstarter is supposed to be akin to paying the dev(s) ahead of time to work on their project.

It begins to differ on team size. When you consider the developers of Might No.9 make a sizeable developement team, it would logically explain the amount they asked for on Kickstarter. On the smaller end, you see dudes like Underyale,s creator asking for about 50k USD, to essentially cover himself for a year for the opportunity cost of making the game.

No matter how simple the game, this opportunity cost has to be considered. By that point, you just have to be smart enough to give money to the dudes who can demonstrate they'll use it well.

That's fine I encourage the same game on different platforms to have their own unique gimmick as you can see with the soulcalibur 2 post I made.

Because one person isnt responsible for megaman 2.

inafune was the programmer, not the PR, not the advertisement and budgeting, not the Creative director.

You put a programmer in the chair who has no idea how to finance a project and gave him 4 million dollars, of course hes going to splurge it on advertisement and everything else.

Two reasons: First is that time and aging is a bitch and the young man you were once isn't the same as the old man you are now. People change.

Second, this was a Kickstarter meaning the handling of money and time is now fully responsible by the devs themselves instead of their bosses. Having a set time schedule and funding is more helpful then some people think. Many artist don't actually understand how to balance time and money accordingly and thus waste more resources then actually effectively using them.

Some video games that got crowdfunded I greatly enjoy. Freedom Planet and Undertale are some of my all-time favorite games ever, just as an example. Skullgirls is my favorite fighting game. And while a HUGE amount of content wound up not getting into the game that should've, I liked Hyper Light Drifter.

I think if you mean is actually funding these games a good idea, I'd say it depends on how much the creator has to show for it. Is there a demo? How much gameplay footage is there, if any? And other things like that. You need to know if the developers are trustworthy. Sometimes bad stuff still comes out of it, but other times that's not the case. I'm quite excited for the upcoming Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. It looks like the best Shantae game yet, for instance. Mighty Number 9 looks kind of trash.

What the fuck do you mean "asking for trouble"? It's a video game. On a board for video games. Are we supposed to just shit on it because some other people did? Are you afraid to tell people in real life of your interests because you're afraid they won't like them? Do you pretend that you hate stuff that other people do?

I don't know where we fucking went so wrong as to make absolute fucking cowards like you -who parrot every shitpost they see- welcome on this board. You echo every criticism you notice on this website without any knowledge of its source content so you can feel like you fit in the /v/ "le epic pessimist mindset" because you're certainly not going to get the satisfaction of community and friendship out of real life, you worthless fucking nobody.

I hate you. I hate everything you represent in this day and age on this board in which shitposting hiveminds have replaced actual debate. I hate that you are incapable of forming your own opinion. I hate that genuinely good games now have a bad reputation on this site because of fucking morons like you.
