WOW
QUick read through the blog - imho i actually agree with them
Hardware designs are a bit more risky imho. The ones ive seen OUYA and Pebblewatch are like around $100 each for backers. Did either have a past history of delivering?. But both had prototypes available (Ouya did, not sure about Pebblewatch). At least backers have a something solid to see as potential final product. A product which is only in theory and only in designs, could drastically change to what what donators initially see and hope for - and could realistically never make the light of day if the original design is faulty, or realistic or impossible to achieve in reality - which is why a physical prototype is important.

The other thing is, donating to get multiples of product doesn't seem quite right and potential for resell at a much high price down the road if donators are unscrupilous enough:/. All IMHO of course..

I'm still hoping they add him lol. But that's probably as desperate as thinking Lord British will make anything other then a Facebook/browser game. Same here though, i was hooked from "A silence in three parts" as well. I can't wait to see what happens. I'm at the beginning of the story Kvothe is telling Chronicler about when that old man was teaching him the fundamentals of "Sympathy" in the back of a carriage (i think). Seems like an interesting name for a magic system.

Apparently one of the writers (Tony Evans) is causing a shitstorm on some sites, as he was talking about Dragon Age 2 being an example of good believable writing, characters, and game world, with deep choices to make. Good god help us all.

And look at this asshole trolling already. He wants it to be "an action RPG like God of War". :RollsEye:

Edit: I hope they are smart enough to figure out when it's a troll, like the guy above.

nijuu isn't here, so I think it's safe to post the third update.

Lots of information plus the first part of a video series with Colin McComb.

Drats ninja'd!! LOL

Managed to get one of the last $125 Numenera Scholar pledges. By the time this thing is released I should just about have finished organising my backlog of games to play. Not actually playing any of them, mind you, just.... putting them into some kind of order.

I'm sure I'm not alone.

Sounds like economic overhead. Scary.

To make it worse, I bought a subscription to Playstation Plus last week, which added another 10 or so games to my 'list of things to do'....

See, this is why we need a way to add at least 12 more hours to each day without impacting life otherwise.

Turn based RPGs have been some of the most succesful mobile ports. The Extra Credits guys actually argued the iOS version of Avernum was more interesting than the PC version.

I'm not saying they have to do that here, just that if they did they'd probably reap a pretty huge windfall of increased sales.

Start with Vanquish. Such a fun shooter...

EDIT: Just realized that game is available to US PS+ subscribers. Not sure about the EU.

Minority of people would want the port though, a majority would rather the kickstarter money be spent on the actual game and not a port. If they did a port and it didn't effect the kickstarter funds such as Days of Dawn's Wii-U port via a seperate kickstarter of using the release day funds then that's reasonable. Plus ports take up more time and money than you think, it usually involves rewriting a new code and that could have been spent on polishing the actual game.

That's just my opinion of it and I had more stuff but my browser cut and wasn't bothered retyping it :)

Sure but no one here cares, we want to play it on PC. The backers want to play it on PC. It is announced as a PC/Mac/Linux project.

If they want to make an iOS version with their own money or from profits or whatever then sure, but you can't blame supporters of a PC project for wanting that money to go to PC development.
