As much as I dislike the Penny Arcade guys, I dislike snarky attention seeking tossers even more.

I hate Penny Arcade but if nerds want to throw their money away to help make a website they enjoy less visually cluttered, it's fine by me.

jesus christ almost three million in two days huh?yeah, i'll buy one too. I think OUYA needs its own thread

The only kickstarter that should happen is Ron Gilbert making his version of Monkey Island 3.

looks like Divekick's gonna make its fund tho. i get it though, Keits is a likeable dude
xp yeah - i'm going to wait and see what kind of games they get on this thing. certainly not going to sign up for the chance to play minecraft on a 7th platform

Though we cannot honor game pre-orders or mail out T-shirts without taking money in, we do want each of the 800+ of you willing to back our game to be able to have some ownership in it....Pledge Level 1 - $10 – Though we cannot honor a pre-order, we would like to thank you all by letting you suggest a “Tip From Uncle Sensei” for our loading screen. Pledge Level 2 - $25 – Because we are letting people who pledged $10 submit a Tip, we are going to let anyone who pledged $25 or more suggest up to 3 “Tips From Uncle Sensei”.

Divekick looks pretty hilarious, tbh. This is actually a pretty good outcome! The game comes out and nobody had to pledge any money.

Yeah, excited about that and I've chipped in even those these people have a great track record when it comes to releasing games that I start, really enjoy for 10 hours, then give up on.

just wait until they put up a kickstarter for the patches

it looks like they're 150k away from mac version. also, i'm so burnt on out developers promising mac support and then not following through. i guess that if they promise it on kickstarter they won't be able to put it off indefinitely... have any of these kickstarter games actually been made yet?
― Mordy, Monday, 17 September 2012 14:20 (eleven years ago) link
whatevs. i pledged
― Mordy, Monday, 17 September 2012 14:25 (eleven years ago) link
Faster Than Light was a Kickstarter project, I think. Thing about Mac support is, if they promise it at the beginning it's a lot more likely, since they can build for cross-platform from the start (as opposed to taking a year to port the engine/assets over or whatever) so I'm more optimistic in these cases. (That said, COME ON, TORCHLIGHT II, GAWD, you shoulda known better)
Amazing that Cheetahman II went over the goal, though
― Nhex, Monday, 17 September 2012 14:31 (eleven years ago) link
Dude, they are getting 150k before end of day no doubt

I suspect that people who are fed up with waiting for things either try to obtain refunds from the project organizers or, failing that, from Kickstarter or Amazon.
