Would love this to be great, but to avoid disappointment the single player experience has to be a lot better than X3, and the multiplayer has to avoid taking on Eve. that's harder than it sounds on both counts.

so they've been working on it for years but can't even show one piece of concept art? weakest KS pitch i've seen.

Kickstarter UK launch = sudden influx of British indie games on Kickstarter
Sort of looking at one which makes nods to lots of things I totally adore but where the videos/screenshots make it look perilously close to Tower Defence (nice ZX Spectrum on the wall tho):http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1438429768/maia
and one which is in a genre I don't enjoy but looks interestingly done:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1499900830/sir-you-are-being-hunted
but boy howdy, £10 feels like a lot more than $10 in the "can I afford to throw this at something which may never exist and may be terrible, and even if it exists and is brilliant it'll be £2 in a Steam sale eventually" stakes (yes yes we are not preorderers but funders, ok)

If you have hundreds of dollars that you are going to give to someone, you need to do some research on them or you don't deserve any sympathy.

As part of Project Eternity making so much dough, one of the side requirements was that Chris Avellone had to play Arcanum. They posted a poll as to how he should document this undertaking.

no to actively cast my eyes along some text from left to right would be too much effort, obviously the ideal medium for chris best writer in videogames avellone to do this is via incredibly boring youtube videos so i can stare at his sweaty putz while my jowly face hangs open

Rabbi Loew, along with his smart and eager apprentice, convinces the guilds of Prague to assist him in the creation of the Golem.
would be surprised if jews were even allowed in these "guilds"
putting that aside, tho, they do beautiful work

the guilds? yeah, i guess so

Guy is a multi-millionaire who went into space but I might've punted him ten bucks for a kickstarted game, except the game tier is $40. Thousands of dollars for some entirely imaginary (un)real estate in a game which doesn't exist yet, if ever? I'll pass, thanks.
― susuwatari teenage riot (a passing spacecadet), Saturday, 9 March 2013 16:11 (eleven years ago) link
$10 + $30 tiers still open (and the $30 tier comes w/ digital copy of the game i think?)

Lord British clearly doesn't need Kickstarter. $1MM is not close to enough to make that game. He's probably just on the bandwagon for marketing reasons, and because nobody objects to a million dollar loan at 0% interest.

The more the happens the more it feels like, Pitchfork getting Pavement to play the full album of "Slanted and Enchanted" or something. Kickstarter is to videogame idols what the classic album concert is to indie rock band.
