They need to post more of the concept sketches for possible attacks and stuff. Thorani looks really boring as a still image but her attacks with her whipping her hair around and throwing out water balls make her look more interesting.
Which Indivisible is the best at taking a bath together.
Who is next incarnation
>>121727658
They haven't added Antoine to the chart yet, so it's hard to tell from the faded silhouette.
>>121727884
looks like she will have a big butt
might be rope girl
>>121728589
I think they're intentionally putting in NPC Incarnation silhouettes to throw us off, so we can't use the campaign video to place them: Someone that appeared to have goat legs was in Baozhai's place for a while.
>>121728925
I'm pretty sure that was just because of the effect they use
the one after the next one is obviously irish golfer, the next one might be either freckles girl or mecha-fist girl
>>121728330
I wish I could go back in time and warn Lab Zero/Reverge/Autumn that Konami will fuck them over.
Imagine an alternate timeline where Skullgirls was able to get every character, and Indivisible could just... get made, and not have to stress everyone the fuck out with a crowdfunding campaign that might barely succeed by the skin of it's teeth.
It's over, isn't it? Everything now just degenerates into porn.
>>121727884
IMO they should just scrap all the characters but Razmi and Thorani and make a game based on them.
>>121729846
>>121730094
fukken source me senpai
>>121730094
Make sure all the faceless men are white
>>121728925
the thing is that when you're comparing silhouettes, making even a small portion of it completely whited out is incredibly effective at obscuring the identity.
It probably won't get an extension. At this point it'd just be adding insult to injury if they drag it out another 20 days.

>>121730412
Who would want those fingernails anywhere near their ponos?
>>121729740
Would it really have been so bad to set the Goal at 500k and have a 10-hour game with 10 Incarnations? That's a perfectly acceptable game IMO, and if it did well you could always make DLC/Sequels later to finish your precious "Vision."
>>121730835
that would have killed their contract with 505
>>121730835
Holy shit what is going on in this pic?
>>121729290
Konami was probably their hookup for Michiru Yamane, though.
>>121731045
Vasco's singing country in her head.
Despite Mike Z not wanting to compromise his artistic vision, he is resorting to compromising his artistic vision by having guest characters come in, whether they fit or not.
>>121731129
They certainly could've done without her. Her typical CV stuff is far better than the Skullgirls OST was which I always found kind of odd.
>>121731002
I'm just sayin', Mike recently posted on his blog about chasing your dreams, yet keeping them grounded in reality. Ironic considering how long a shot this is. We get it; you don't like the scummy stuff the crowdfunding does like underselling the budget and just being Interest Gauges, but an Indie company that's barely hanging on by a thread isn't going to change the world.
Even if this does succeed, I doubt much will change, and if it fails, it will be an example to other Developers to just bend over and take it up the ass without protest like good little corporate whores.
>>121731615
Exactly; they were willing to compromise there, why not on the length and therefore budget of the game?
>>121730835
I don't think setting a lower goal was an option. The actual budget for the game is much higher than $1.5 million. They have a publisher who will only cover the rest if the Indiegogo is successful.
>>121731615
I don't see that as compromising their artistic vision, it's some optional endgame characters that aren't even part of the game if you don't want them to be
they change literally nothing about how the game turns out other than helping out with getting funded
and even if they are an artistic compromise, I'd rather have that than no game at all
>>121732174
Unfortunately you're going to have no game anyway
>>121732742

>>121733553
Maybe; today has been relatively slow, but Crowdcharts' prediction is still slowly rising.
EU PSN gets the Prototype when there's only 4 days left, (only 1 until the Extension deadline,) it's gonna be close as shit, and even then it still might not make the remaining 600k in those 20 extra days.
>>121734169
She and all the other characters will always live in our hearts,
>>121734254
and our dicks.
>>121733553
>130k
You mean 150k?
flockmod time
150k in 3 days. Can the Indivisible humanoids do it?
>>121734984
We need 50k a day for 3 days
Today it might only reach 25k
If we hit the 50k mark on Monday, then we'd need 75k Tuesday to get the extension
Or it could die down even harder because Mondays/Tuesdays
Anything is possible at this point
>>121734984
It got about that much in the first 3 days, so it's totally possible.
>>121734984
So they need to have 60% before the last three days to actually get the extension?
>>121735531
To be fair, early adopters likely knew about the game in advance. It's harder to get new people excited.
>>121735531
I worry most people don't even know about the extension deadline and are just waiting for the last 2 days
>>121735662
Early adopters only made up 150k with around 1k backers, while we're at 750k with almost 12k backers now.
It's significantly more newcomers than early adopters already.
>>121735732
This is correct. Anyone just casually following the situation is not going to have heard about the extension possibility, which was mentioned on only a few boards and leddit.
>>121735662
Not if they've looked at the comment section:
Those motherfuckers are setting up spreadsheets of Youtubers and the like to collectively pester.
>>121736087
Just saw that.I'm strangely okay with it.
>>121736180
MikeZWasTaken to the BestBuy to Work
Mike sort of hinted at the extension on twitter with that whole "Why point out 8 instead of 5?" thing.
>>121736789
Such is the fate of all men who chase dreams in the capitalistic demon's belly. They are enslaved and forced to live in the shadows for eternity, serving the powerful, never achieving their lovely dreams. Capitalism has no pity for those who would dare go against it.
My biggest complaint with the prototype is every battle feels too tedious. I don't know if it's enemy health, player damage, or just animation speed itself, but the fights just drag too long.
>>121736834
makes me wish they would just flat out say it in one of their updates
they're seriously aiming at making the 1.5 million in those 3 days
I really don't know who they thought Indivisible was going to appeal to. Skullgirls was a fighting game, and fighting game fans want something that is fast, flashy, and twitchy. Indivisible's combat was none of that. They ended up going into this without even the full support of their established fanbase.
>>121737358
Is this a screenshot from the final ver of Indivisible made with 500k like the fans wanted them to ask for?
>>121738081
Nah, that's the 1m goal.

>>121756681
for some reason people are suddenly throwing out the big bucks every couple of minutes
I think LabZero should really start informing people that the extension is a thing
it feels like they know games, but they're trying way too hard to be honest and nice and not seem like douchebags with the community
this is make or break niggers, shill just a little bit more and put some of your faith in the community
I hope they're not dumb and refuse to extend despite hitting the mark, I'd be done, so done, they can't actually think to make double the amount from the final push alone
>even the pony game made it with all the funding tiers
Pathetic.
This is like the polar opposite of the Indivisible /v/ threads. Proper discussions and arguments actually rooted in reality over its development.
I have issues with how they've handled particular points of the fundraising campaign but jesus did /v/ completely lose their shit in the worst ways over it.
>that game with more fanart than funding
>>121757512
Which also had a much lower goal.That weird spiderman cow's fighting style looks interesting. I regret not backing it.
>>121757743
that's what teenagers do anon, the main demographic on /v/ are teenagers
>>121756681
More than possible. Don't get complacent though:
Even if we get that, 600k in 20 extra days is still a steep climb.
>>121757370
They said it'd depend on the pace at the time; if it just barely ekes into 900k before the exact second the campaign began (which is where the Days count down for those purposes.)
>>121757512
They had a lot more than the 4 currently on the page currently, they took them off.
>>121757743
And they call this a Hugbox.
There's plenty of Debby Downers in here too, but at least they present legitimate points about missteps the campaign and company have taken, instead of "MARIEL IS FRIENDS WITH BRIANNA WU! LE SJW AGENDER! LE UNFUNDABLE TOP KEK!"
>>121758017its gonna be shitty hazama which is saying something considering bb is pretty meh in itself
>>121758151
I don't think there should be an argument if the future of LabZero is in their own hands
they absolutely have to extend it if they make the cut, they have to, every other decision would be irrational if they actually care about making their game
the extension is *certain* to gather more backers and pledges, as it stands now there is no chance without it, so it's literally the only option
>>121758975
I can see it.
The other one that I saw a lot of reminded me of Glacius meets Lambda-11.

>LITERALLY NO PRODUCT CAN EXIST IF IT DOESN'T HAVE ANIME TITS

You know, I think this has really been the most amazing part of the campaign, discovering there are retards who get actively angry that someone didn't draw porn instead of what they wanted to draw.
>>121757512
Yeah and it was severely lagging and almost wasn't going to get funded until the very last moment when everyone came out in droves to donate. It's never over until it's over.
>>121758151
>There's plenty of Debby Downers in here too, but at least they present legitimate points about missteps the campaign and company have taken, instead of "MARIEL IS FRIENDS WITH BRIANNA WU! LE SJW AGENDER! LE UNFUNDABLE TOP KEK!"
No kidding. There's plenty of way that the campaign could've been planned better and the art syle and gameplay might not be everyone's cup of tea, but criticizing anything else about the game and campaign is just paranoia about the SJW boogeyman.
>>121759108
I'm gonna be pretty mad if they hit the minimum for an extension and don't go for it because of some self-imposed integrity bullshit.
Sometimes I think they're trying too hard to be goodguys for the fans, when really we just want them to make the game. Your jobs are on the line, Lab Zero. Nobody will blame you if you play the crowdfunding game and shill your shit.
>>121757994
how many games is that not true for?
FFVII was like 50 million to make and I feel like that's a good estimate of the number of drawings of tifa floating around the planet.
You know, 1.5mil in the standard funding window was kind of not really entirely a realistic goal in the first place.
Anyway, I've increased my contribution. Hoping this gets its extension.
>>121762119
That fanart came AFTER the game was released.
Games with mountains of fanart BEFORE they even get into beta is very suspect.
>>121761831
I really hope they don't just give up if they hit the minimum for the extension. There's tons of interest in the game and it just needs more time and possibly people need to upgrade their donation. Just keep it going and if it doesn't make it then so be it. Better to try and fail than not try at all.
>>121762496
>>121762307
thing is, it's only JUST NOW getting a decent pace of donations thanks to tons of videos on youtube and guest characters
they're also bringing the prototype to EU really late
>>121762307
Suspect? What do you mean? To me, it just seems to suggest that people like the idea, even if they aren't willing or able to put up money for it.
>>121762696
All this jerking off over concept art and characters when people forget this is supposed to be a videogame.
>>121762307
>suspect
Do you think they illegally imported this fanart from overseas? Or maybe it's counterfeit fanart made by photoshopping re-purposed dragon quest stuff?
These are some serious accusations you're making...
>>121762793
I don't really follow. How does enjoying the character concepts mean people have forgotten this is a video game?
Does anyone have the before and after shots of the Skullgirls "censoring"
>>121762793
as opposed to other crowdfunding campaigns when that's literally all you can do because there's nothing playable for people to try?
Personally, I'd really like to hear more about their ideas for incorporating food into the game. Alex Ahad mentioned how much they think food is important to representing the cultures in this game and wanted to have gameplay related benefits to eating different dishes.
>>121763056

>>121764221
THOSE BASTARDS
FUCK THEM AND FUCK INDIBISIBALE FOR THIS I GLAD IT BOM LOL
They've raised about $762k with almost 12k backers, that's a pretty good amount no matter what. $1.5 million goal seriously what the fuck.
>>121766346
Video games require money to be made.
>>121766943
But $1.5 million through crowdfunding? Come on now, that's extremely unrealistic unless you're a big name.
>>121767282
They want to make a full game and actually have creative freedom, in a world where "we have the millions of dollars to make this game already but give us 500K" gets you 5 million dollars it doesn't seem like a terrible idea.
>>121766943
>Video games require money to be made.
>set up shop at the second most expensive city to live in in the US
>ask for 1.5 million
>don't get it
>>121767282
We honestly don't know, crowdfunding isn't really well understood. If the campaign was already over and they were under 500k I might agree with you. But even making it halfway puts it in the realm of possibility, and with an extension this campaign actually has a chance.
>>121767282
All the money will be used to make the game, completely, no stretch goals, the game 100% for 2 years of development.
Besides, hand animation isn't cheap and easy.
>tfw it's not gonna get funded

I didn't give a shit about it at all until a day ago, then I played the prototype and now I'm sad.

The didn't really "set up shop" in Cali, they already lived there. That's how they were all able to meet in the first place.
Srsly would ANYONE want to move to an entirely different state just to help lower a crowdfunding goal by a couple $100k? I thought we were supposed to be talking realistically in here.
>>121769240
They only need 147,000 by Wed.
They should announce that with the next Incarnation reveal and the Drifter design
>>121769240

almost everything that gets discussed regularly on /v/ has one thread open at a time.
>>121771987

Seemed to me like there were a ton of MN9 threads while that was relevant.
I wasn't really there during Bloodstained so I don't know.
>>121767542
By that logic, all the game companies currently located in California should move elsewhere so they can pay their employees less.
>>121775094
>move out of California
That is literally golden advice as a former Cali citizen when it has nothing to do with game companies. Pollution, water shortage, spics/nigs running amok, San Francisco, Expensive standard of living, Earthquakes, etc. The very small remaining unpolluted beaches and decent weather is not worth it.

The timing is really weird on it
Why would you stake your company's future on a clone of a game not very many people played while cutting down on the fanservice which is one of the reasons why people bought your previous game? Are they taking crazy pills?
>>121781339
it has some timing that takes practice, i agree. most of the combos up to that point in the tutorial allow basically any timing to work.
Getting this kind of timing down is important to being able to execute better combos that let you go from air back to ground for most characters.
>>121781837
Because why make a game if its not what you want it to be
Oh also how do you unlock stages
Donations are super strong tonight.
Hopefully people are starting to feel the urgency.
>>121781837
>clone of a game not very many people played
It's not a clone of Valkyrie Profile. It's a mix of that, Super Metroid, while trying to implement some game mechanics found in fighting games. Valkyrie Profile was a very popular game too. Not so many people have played it nowadays because there's so many more people playing video games.
>while cutting down on the fanservice which is one of the reasons why people bought your previous game?
Because they received so much flak for the fanservice in Skullgirls, they want them and their games to be taken more seriously. Besides, it's an RPG which is supposed to have a serious story you're supposed to care about. Kind of hard to do that with characters flashing their panties all the time. It's why nobody takes the JRPGs that are too fanservicy seriously.

>Because they received so much flak for the fanservice in Skullgirls, they want them and their games to be taken more seriously.
Well I guess we see where that has gotten them. People who want fan service pay and people who don't do not. Probably the same reason why Japanese games are full of it now. For some reason that segment of the population is the one willing to pay.

I love the tone of red they chose for her skin. She sounds like she is going to be the useful stat buffing character.
>>121783920
Shit... She's too cute.
>>121783920
Oh sweet a minstrel
Wait, I just thought it was 60% by the end, now it's 60% by 3 days left?
>>121786793
Yes so I think by around Wednesday 6AM PST
>>121786793
Yes.
I'm curious if IGG offered them the extension for Skullgirls on the last day or not. The way Peter talked about it, it seemed like a last minute thing.
I wouldn't be surprised if IGG bends the rules to help out Lab Zero and get their million dollar campaign they desperately yearned for.

Makes total sense when you find his Annie, Makoto Nanaya and Baiken pieces. He is a great artist too.
>>121783920
Oh my.
I think this is doing poorly because 2D platformer + turn based RPG combat creates a kind of bait and switch effect on people considering backing it and it is near impossible to market well to find your target audience:
Someone sees a 2D platformer-like screenshot and to them it immediately implies a certain kind of combat. Then those people will try the proto or watch a video and say "What the hell is this combat?" They will then not back because they wanted the real time combat they expected.
On the other hand, someone else who WOULD like that kind of combat sees a 2D platformer-like screenshot and just ignores the game and assumes it isn't for them and doesn't even see that it is turn based combat.
My new team:
Zahra
Thorani

>I wouldn't be so sure.
It was popular enough to get a bunch of sequels and a remake. I mean, I haven't played any of the Valkyrie Profile games, but I do love Metroid, played the demo and found it very enjoyable so I donated.
>Well I guess we see where that has gotten them. People who want fan service pay and people who don't do not. Probably the same reason why Japanese games are full of it now. For some reason that segment of the population is the one willing to pay.
The only thing more fanservice would've done is build hype quicker. Once people have actually played the demo, they would've donated based on whether or not they liked it. The key to the entire campaign was simply getting people to play the demo. Granted they should've planned things out better to build hype and get people talking to get people to play the demo, but the level of fanservice that Skullgirls has simply does not fit in the kind of game they want to make.
>>121787856
it's not doing poorly, they are just asking for too much.
>>121788368
It's doing poorly compared to Famous Guy Makes: Game You Loved as a Child!
>>121788229
>The key to the entire campaign was simply getting people to play the demo.
I guess they failed. I didn't play the demo. It's really too much effort to download some shit and try to get into it. I judge off vids and screenshots and it didn't seem like my kind of thing due to the fact I couldn't get into Valkyrie Profile's combat
>>121788531
It's about to surpass Shantae, which is pretty good
>>121788602
Yeah, but whether or not they failed with you doesn't matter since you probably would not have donated even if you had played the demo since you don't like Valkyrie Profile's combat and can judge the game based on videos and screenshots.
What matters is getting the people who WOULD donate after playing the demo to play the demo and after a slow start and many set backs, they're finally doing that. It may be too little too late, but oh well.
>>121789274
Is there a rule anywhere stating they can't start another campaign?
Also fuck, is there a chance of this grabbing another $100,000 but wednsday? I'd even let Pewdiepie advertise the game at this point.
>>121789426
Pewdiepie's audience is literal children, they have nothing to give.
>>121789426
>Is there a rule anywhere stating they can't start another campaign?
No but it would mean they would have to go months without money which is kind of hard.
>>121789507

What kind of pure world do you live in?
>>121787856
Basically, you've described why having the prototype was so important. Imagine if they had tried describing this to people without gameplay to back it up. It would have been a mess.
Also, can we finally stop calling this combat turn based? True turn based is like Pokemon style. When it's your turn, you can put the controller down, go eat lunch, come back, and nothing happened while you were gone. It's one of the biggest differences between VP and Indiv that people keep ignoring for some reason.
Even fkn Simmons while he was playing was sitting there with full action bars, waiting for a turn that wasn't coming, while enemies were beating his ass.
>>121789426
>Is there a rule anywhere stating they can't start another campaign?
I don't think there is. It'd also be dumb on everyone's part if they actually spent more than $250,000 on campaign materials for a one-shot only plan. At least 505 must know that a kickstarter campaign should be tried if this doesn't pan out. I'm actually surprised that they didn't make that a requirement in return for funding the prototype to be honest. Lab Zero found a flexible partner in that sense.
LZ keeps saying they have a good relationship with IGG but it doesn't really show. Makes me think of that kid who thinks you're best buds but you just want him to leave you alone.
>>121729290
So what's the deal now with Skullgirls? Are we ever going to see the release of all these characters - or are we at least going to get the characters needed to reveal the true plot line? I'm actually really interested in all the stories.
>>121733553
Hopefully not
>>121755230
>not adding fanservice
There's plenty of fanservice in the game, though
>>121783920
Another nigger?
How much was needed for extension again? And are these designs final or is there the possibility that they might change a bit?
>>121792807
>game based on SEA mithology
>wonders why there arent so many white people
>>121794939
Well, no wonder it isn't getting funded. Lack of fanservice + niggers, who wants to buy that?
>>121795132
From what I've seen, this games gets heavy influence from Valkyrie Profile, so why base it on any kind of European mithology?
>>121795223
Because it would get funded, at least?
>>121786925
>>121786986
Welp, then we are screwed. They could get to 60% by the end of the campaign if they get lucky, but there's no way it'll happen by Wednesday morning.
>>121791638
That depends on how long Lab Zero is allowed to live. If they're allowed to make Indivisible it'll give Autumn and Lab Zero time to work out a deal for when they finish this. If Indivisible never happens the team runs out of money, goes it's separate ways and the odds of seeing another character decreases significantly. Under that scenario getting a full game from them would nearly be a miracle. Honestly, anyone who wants Skullgirls 2 to be a thing should be backing Indivisible if they aren't already. I want to wreck fools with Annie, Feng and Panzerfaust even if that happens in 2020.
>>121795261
That's a point, but it would be far too similar to VP, judging from what I've experienced in the demo.
>>121795364
I agree and I am all for new settings being explored in games, but it doesn't seem like many other people are. I would say it's a shame this isn't being funded, but on the other hand, it serves Lab Zero right for what they did to Skullgirls.
>>121795361
But if Indivisible gets funded, won't they just focus their efforts on that instead of Skullgirls, meaning no new DLC chars for Skullgirls?
>supporting a game that literally excludes and ridicules white people
not that it matters, games like that don't get funded and they don't sell.
>>121795647
>supporting a game that literally excludes and ridicules white people
What the fuck where are you even getting this from, one of the major factions is based on western culture, there's a fucking cowboy assassin from them, see >>121730835
Also, the witcher has no black people or asians because it's fucking based on eastern europe, this is based on southeast asia, no shit there's less white people then normal.
>>121796217
which is why Witcher is a good game while this isnt :^)

As someone who didn't donate to Indivisible for having a mostly unappealing cast i must say this character is a step in the right direction.
If they add more sexy girls like her i'll give them my money.
>>121797849
>sexy girl
>>121783920
it's disgusting
>>121795504
Indivisible being funded means they have work and are together which gives them time to draw up plans with Autumn if they wish. You want to try your luck at Skullgirls 2 when Mariel is working with a new developer (or drawing porn), Mike is working at software company making 2-3x what he makes now and everyone else is doing their own thing? Mike and the rest of them have said as much several times throughout this campaign. Them splitting up is likely the end of anything from the Lab Zero we know and love right now.
>>121798342
She's sexy and cute.
I need more characters like that to justify giving them money.
>>121798807
She looks like a dude, how is that cute?
>>121798880
>we want the tumblr audience
>>121797849
Well, chances are the Leah guest character will be pretty gud in Lab Zero art/animation. There are rumors Shantae as well being in the works.
I agree that this game really needs some sex appeal, though. This game is literally the complete opposite from Skullgirls. I wonder if Mariel is bored as fuck with the style of this project because it doesn't feel like their style at all. This is coming from someone who is excited for the game if it is made, but really would have donated more if there was some energy in their characters.
>>121798880
As for me, she's got a nice midriff goin'.

Ah ok I see, I was just curious, I haven't really been following this whole thing. So this whole Skullgirls 2 thing you're talking about - is that supposed to be a separate have-to-pay-again game or is it an update to the normal one like Encore, etc
>>121798880

You need to get your eyes checked. It's like Lab Zero finally listened to its fans and decided to make a 100% waifu character.
If they add more i'll give them my money.
>>121799040
>I agree that this game really needs some sex appeal, though. This game is literally the complete opposite from Skullgirls.
I concur.
There're already too many dull looking characters in the cast. We need more sexy and cute ones to balance that.

Who is it pandering to, then, because it just seems like a game set in southeast asia with some other areas/settings mixed in here or there, in the same was asuras wrath is.
Also, /v/ regularly talks about how cool that region is and how they would want games set in it, so i'm not sure why you and they are suddenly bitching about it.
So I started playing Skullgirls this Saturday and I can't believe I managed to go so long without playing it. The game is such a blast even though I'm pretty trash. The visuals are fucking godly too. And Peacock is the cutest thing ever I just want to hug her.
