Title: "FTL" (A proper Kickstarter) Post by: Ghambit on March 07, 2012, 05:04:24 PM "Faster Than Light" (http://kck.st/wcosc8)
A working, ingenious, indie project by two now jobless guys with a great idea. Make a roguelike in space inside a player-owned, built, and maintained spaceship. If I had to pick a game that it emulates (err copies actually) it's the boardgame "Battlestations." Only you control every crew member yourself and there's permadeath. So, you donate a few bux and immediately get closed beta access. Monies go towards making the game better and bringing it to a wider audience. If you wanna try it before you burn coffee money, you can demo it on OnLive. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l2WX5F7W8qk Title: Re: "FTL" (A proper Kickstarter) Post by: Thrawn on March 07, 2012, 05:29:55 PM Interesting, I haven't backed any Kickstarters yet but I might start with this one.
I wonder how long though before someone puts up a successful Kickstarter, then just takes the money and runs. Seems inevitable sadly. Title: Re: "FTL" (A proper Kickstarter) Post by: rk47 on March 07, 2012, 05:54:22 PM So far the hottest seems that 2D Adventure game from T.Schafer.
And Wasteland 2 by Brian Fargo. - $15 for the released game is cheap. Less honorable mention : Former Halo Reach Designer promising a 'Hardcore Tactical Shooter'. Lawl. Title: Re: "FTL" (A proper Kickstarter) Post by: Ghambit on March 07, 2012, 06:50:43 PM Schafer didn't even have a design doc whereas this game is near complete. Just sayin. :oh_i_see:
Title: Re: "FTL" (A proper Kickstarter) Post by: schild on March 07, 2012, 07:08:47 PM Kickstarter is far better for board games than video games. Tangible products good, virtual products are merely OK.
