Will the Rap Rabbit make it? Place your bets now. Is Kickstarter

idk how you can fuck up a rhythm game. I doubt it's gonna get funded. Screen cap this pls

I'm fairly confident it can make its goal, but I'm less optimistic about hitting any of the stretch goals. Maybe if after re-shuffling the stretch goals, a Switch port comes in at less than 2mil that might give it more momentum.

If someone wants it to succeed all they need to do is start a fake shit storm over have "Make Rhythm-Action Great Again" at the top of the kickstarter being a pro trump message in disguise. Make idiots fight over it on twitter and many people will throw their money at it "out of principal".

It's only gone up by about 10,000 in the last day and most successful kickstarters are funded in the first few days.

Most Kickstarters make the largest part of their goal during the first day or the last few days. This one hasn't made near enough in it's first few days.

Making it some weird ass historical Japanese setting was probably a mistake. A lot of eople outside of Japan will dismiss it just because of that.

When will the Kickstarter meme die?

>>377156810
It probably won't make the amount it wants, due to asking realistic amounts of money, while also aiming for a very niche market.

It would benefit from a demo of some sorts, which I think should be the standard now for kickstarter games asking for x amount of funding, since most of the time it is cheap indie games or devs testing the water to outside investors looking at reception.

It's obviously rushed and the DLC such as playable Risky is stuck in Wayforward "SOON" release status.

It should have been called Shantae: Half Finished Game.

Looks like they rightfully got a bunch of shit for asking for 5 million to get a Switch port and one difficulty setting being higher than the Xbone port.

Must be way easier to port to Xbone. Not to mention nothing 3rd party sells at all on Nintendo.

Nah it was OK, that's absolute best I'll say about it but didn't really grab me. I had hope after pirate's curse they'd make another decent game but nope. The best thing about the series is the girls/porn anyways

Of course it'll make it. It'll get to around 600k with five days left, and then they'll start getting the "Anonymous" donations of 20k and 30k until they're pushed just over the line. It's almost like they already have the money to make the game and are just taking more money off of retards because Sony only gave them a video on Youtube.

>>377164838

Why is that a stretch goal? That should be an incentive for donation tiers.

>>377164838
Should focus on more content over porting it to dead consoles.

It was depressing that this was a fan funded game and it was the worse one yet.

besides visuals its much worse than pirates curse and the original game.

You mean jazz jackrabbit? Those games were pretty cool, shame about the unfinished 3rd game though

>>377164998
But third parties are selling great on the Switch.

If you can't find funding for your game with publishers it's probably shit

>>377168091
Just want to say everything after Mojib-Ribbon is ether Passable or bad outright. Vib-Ripple was a cute idea, but beyond it being some tech wank, it's a very bare bones game. The Tamagotchi games are all just Warioware minigames with Tamagotchi's, but at worse quality. Musika was just shit. Major Minor's Majestic March was a musical waggle game, you can guess how little of a good game this made. I only know about Haunt in passing, but it's apparently shit as well.

>>377156810
i can understand call of duty or fallout or another triple a game made by a huge studio needing a lot of cash

but how does an indie game need £855k ?

>>377169052
Voice Acting.
Really this game is just going to be a voice actor wank, but chances are without the camp that made the Parappa Series so enduring.

>>377156810
>kickstarting a console exclusive

who does this?

I don't think it'll succeed. Kickstarter delivered too many lackluster results by now for people to get really hyped and continue to throw their cash away.

>>377161667
shantae was never good, it's just waifufags overhyping anything that gives them a boner as usual.

>>377168091
All of his musical games were excellent, so I don't see the point of posting this list.

>>377160040
>but I'm less optimistic about hitting any of the stretch goals

They'll just pull an Inafune and open up post kickstarter donations.

>>377156810

>They updated stretch goals to prioritize Switch version

Yesssss

>>377169715
I doo

>>377161252
Neither do the chucklefucks running kickstarters apparently.

Remember Tim Schafer wanting more money because he blew through the 3.3 mil?

>>377157995
>idk how you can fuck up a rhythm game.

by making the timing for inputs have nothing to do with the music you're hearing. which is what parappa is.

>>377161667
Very mediocre but so was every previous Shantae game. You can really see the limited budget show through, though. The amount of pointless backtracking was considerable. They also made it BRAINDEAD easy and that was a huge flaw.

Charming and playable, but not really worthy of a recommendation.

Don't worry. Just like Indivisible, if it looks like it won't make the goal, they will "force it" to get funded via lots of cross-promotion, like adding Shovel Knight as a guest character, again...

How do you properly do stretch goals?

>>377164631
I gotta ponder: why the fuck do people ask for ports to specific consoles, instead of buying the console that has the goddamn games they wanna play? This is fucking retarded.

>>377168091
Parappa the rapper is not fun as well.
take out the music and u can truly see how shitty the game is.

Interesting conclusion there, anon.

>>377167580
Such as? I honestly don't know. I only heard that Bomberman shipped (not sold) 500k but actually sales were apparently satisfying for Konami (not that it had high production costs in the first place)

>>377170676
PC port begging worked so PC fags continue to beg. Consolefags start begging too.

>>377170676
This might shock you, but no one functional wants to spend $300 on a game.

>>377171210
Disgaea 5 hasn't released yet stateside, but NISA mentioned they have over 110k preorders already.

>>377171295
That's why you buy a platform with a bazillion games you wanna play. You don't buy a Zelda machine and then start praying that you'll actually have something else to play on it.

>>377170920
OSU! isn't a fun game if you take out the music there as well.

>>377171525
And even when you do have music.

>>377171210
Bomberman. Puyo Puyo. Blaster Master. And Disgaea.
Are all doing very well at the very least. I don't know about other games but I have no real reason to assume they're terrible.

>>377171417
This. 5 game rule is pretty reliable

>>377166928
this.
i'm glad someone pointed that out.
u don't need half the budget of making a full game just to translate some words. even with voice acts (on cutscenes only)

>>377171417
>That's why you buy a platform with a bazillion games you wanna play.
No such thing today. You pick a few games and hope you don't regret it in the future.

>>377171191
>>377171525
but take out the music on o2jam and u can still how decent and tight the gameplay is.

or change the music in parappa the rapper, then you will see how shitty the game is.
you guys liked the music, and you thought u liked the game, but the fact is it's a horrible as fuck rhythm game.

>>377171847
Don't get me wrong but those are low budget production which don't need to sell much to make profit but I'd like know some numbers if they're available yet. As long as games make profit everything is fine. I'm just curious about the actual numbers.

I hope PPT sold well, I got it on PS4 and I don't own a Switch (yet).

Doubting unless a big company like Sony pitches in at one point.
Day 1 is the big one - websites shill it like they have and most people that have an interest donate, then funding trickles down from there where others slowly discover it any might donate.

Given it's reached only a tenth in a day and a half I can't see it getting funded without another company.

>>377174052
Reminds me of the Shenmue 3 kickstarter. How long did it take to get funded?

>>377175009
Less than a day
