They went live but shut down in less than a year. They were salty about not reaching the goal, you can feel it in the undertones whenever they posted news and patch notes.

maybe, they should have catered towards Nintenbros

and the whole Kickstarter of Shenmue was actually a Joke, after all Sony is publishing that game, isn't it?

Seams only CRPGs have any chance of making it on kick starter anymore.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/owlcatgames/pathfinder-kingmaker

This game only made half so far but i imagine because its a Russian developer its gonna be way above the standards of a WRPG even on such a budget.

Asking $1.1 million was crazy. Maybe if they were making Parappa the Rapper 3 it would get that much, but not for some new IP rabbit game.

Shenmue being delayed isn't bad. A delayed game is better than a bad game. If anything it shows their dedication to its quality.

Iga got a new team that understands Unreal 4 just fine. Don't spread rumors.

The Yogcast game.

lmao. Also why the fuck are they literally just now showing gameplay? They should have just waited until they had that ready.

It was one of the first kickstarter projects to gain any buzz and kotaku/polygon shilled alot about it.

This one will be release Q4 2017 I think:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/duckblockgames/forsaken-castle/description

>>379539381
No! it was a a project from ~2011/2012.

It was an rpg where the gimmick was that every main character was a minority.The devs also said that they would only hire minotiries to push diversity. Then once they got the money they failed to find enough non white/males to work on the project.

>>379539381
The progress looks good but we'll need to see at least a beta to see if it passes into being worth while.

It's basically the PaRappa note sequence system with a new system that allows you to change lyrics on the fly for different affects based on your performance and your opponent's mood.

It's not "monkey see monkey rap"
It's a real rap battle. Something that's never been done before.

Shame it won't be funded.

Parappa's a rap battle, just following the buttons is enough to pass the level but you won't get the Great rating unless you embellish it with your own rhythm

RPGs are easier to sell than rhythm games.

Especially rhythm games doing something new, as a spiritual successor to two niche games, with developers that not even fans of those games could name off the top of their head.

Well they might have had more success if they actually showed gameplay first. Concept art is great and all but people have been burned by only seeing concept art multiple times.

We need at the very least a gameplay video. And if you can afford to release a demo, please do. Makes all the difference now adays.

The truth is actually funnier than this. They found plenty of straight white dudes to work on it, but in order to keep their diversity pledge they ended up barring them from formal employment. Indiegogo freaked since in an ironic twist of fate they were potentially violating discriminatory hiring laws, so when Indiegogo told the main chick to cool her jets she flipped out and Arkh started getting picked up by shit like Kotaku for diversity points. Once things got that far people started digging the many, many skeletons in her closet and the whole thing collapsed.

Last I heard she was working on an Undertale clone a year or two ago.

No kickstarter project will ever be as big of a failure as the homestuck video game. It pretty much sent the creator into a downward spiral and ruined his career.

Why isnt star citizen in here?

Fuck I'm sad for them.

I don't do business with Kickstarter anymore, but I would certainly have backed that when I did.

Name 5 successful KS games, and by successful I mean they have already delivered EVERYTHING they promised by now.

Should have hired some young Jap girls for the livestream

>>379544680
Nah, it's accurate.

I think it's become overwhelmingly obvious that any game pitched to kickstarter and then built after they have money will fail or underdeliever. Games like Might Number 9, Pillars of Eternity, Broken Age, Yooka Layle have proven as much. Meanwhile games that were already partially built and only needed a kickstarter to say hire someone to do the soundtrack usually turn out okay like Shovel Knight and FTL.

Things aren't looking good for Bloodstained or Star Citizen as of right now since all the news coming out of either of them are developmental issues and delays.

I find that the main problem behind kickstarters is that they aren't managed well enough which leads to things just falling apart at any given second and turning out a substandard product, if its managed correctly then we get a good product that people will enjoy.

It's just monkey see monkey rap except you have to change to a pre-set set of words occasionally. It seems like a good idea in your brain but in practicality it's just a single step away from what you already have

Project Rap Rabbit just put out a gameplay concept video. Looks nice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk56CFGhrew

>inb4 looks like shit
Well it is just a concept and if you don't like Parappa, Elite Beat Agents, or rhythm games in general. Then you definitely won't like it anyway.

>>379543641
So the deal with the game was the studio that had contacted them about making the game said "We can't actually do this." and split and since the Yogscast themselves TECHNICALLY didn't have anything to do with the Kickstarter they weren't responsible for it but they got the Sanctum people who they were friends with to give all the backers a free copy of Sanctum as what little comp they could.

I also remember hearing something about one of the two guys talking up some underage b8 on twitter and that being a huge scandal and them maybe parting ways after that? I only know of two members that were Strippin who I think was hanging out with the ABF people and Pyrion Flax who was a Dota 2 community guy that was playing a lot of Dota on stream with one of the Yogscast guys.

>Yeah Mighty Number 9 was delayed several times, what a polished and well designed and appealing game that turned out to be, right?

MN9 = Comcept + Inti-Creates.

Bloodstained = Inti-Creates + Artplay + Dico + Monobit

The initial plan was simply a copy of MN9, which was a mistake, and Iga has fixed that by adding additional teams. MN9 also straight up seems to have run out of money at some point. 2.3 million doesn't last long, and Inti had to play the bills and work on other projects. BS has more money from their publisher, 505 games, making the budget around 8 million, which gives them more money to play with, and to be able to fix problems.

So yes, BS has had some development probelms, but it is not a simple repeat of MN9. In fact, that game outlayed the pitfalls to avoid.

>>379551614
It doesn't look bad, but you'd think they would have something a bit more solid at this point than a simple concept video. This is what they should've launched the kickstarter with.

>>379549947
It wasn't created for the game necessarily, more just the result of waifu circlejerking taking form. but that game did come out and it was forgettable shovelware

>>379539381

Game looks boring.

Brown Makoto look so cute though. I want to suck on her toes. Brown girls are so much superior to balck/white/asian bitches.

>>379552179
Well, they only have about 10% of their funding secured, anything they'd be able to give while the campaign is still running would be concepts and prototypes.

>>379550414
Oh for sure the music is the best part. It's just that the actual rhythm game part is just janky and kinda bad.

>>379550678
Undertale was suppose to get a lot of things. But I guess Toby can't work on anything cause he can't breath on the count of how much fucking money was stuck down his throat.

Speaking of KS failures remember Red Ash? Is that ever gonna happen?

>>379551614
I like the yakuza punk snake guys. Game looks kinda boring though, plus the english voice acting they got right now is pretty bad, though it'll probably be fixed if this was ever getting the money it needed.

Should've just posted this on the first day they decided to make the Kickstarter.

It was so bad Inafune and Ben Judd admitted it was a failure.

>During a Twitch livestream of the game for the release of the game, Inafune, through translator Ben Judd stated "You know, I want to word this in a way to explain some of the issues that come with trying to make a game of this size on multiple platforms." adding "I'm kind of loath to say this because it's going to sound like an excuse and I don't want to make any excuses. I own all the problems that came with this game and if you want to hurl insults at me, it's totally my fault. I'm the key creator. I will own that responsibility."[62][63]

>Ben Judd added his own thoughts, saying "In this case, it was do the base game and do all the ports all at the same time. And it ended up being a huge amount of work, more than they actually estimated. Definitely, when they looked at the project, they were wrong about a lot of things. They underestimated how much work, time and money was going to be necessary. All of those things create a huge amount of pressure."[62] Later he said “But, again, we can hope that if things go well, there'll be sequels. Because I'll tell you what, I'm not getting my 2D side-scrolling fill. And at the end of the day, even if it's not perfect, it's better than nothing. At least, that's my opinion.”[64]

CLANG by subutai corporation.
If you remember it, even gaben showed up in the pitch trailer.
The guys got funded but they cancelled production because they found out they had no money to hire programmers.
They had everything but programmers.

>>379534572
Not their fault honestly the Kickstarter bubble has popped. Since MN9 and Yooka fucked up people are really hesitant on investing.

>>379552219
I'm pretty sure she was only created because the board as a whole donated enough to reach the "Your character in the game!" reward tier.

>>379539897

The funniest thing about the Arkh Project is that none of the people who created it had any talent, artistic or otherwise. All the high-quality concept art was by some Korean artist they commissioned.

>>379552774

I was actually gonna ask who the artist is. Because the artwork is really solid. Nice naturalistic art style and designs, while making the girls kinda pretty but not too much. I really like it.

>Speaking of KS failures remember Red Ash? Is that ever gonna happen?

Literally zero word of it since the KS failure. No screenshots, nothing. Oh, wait, there was a post that the team got Red Ash t-shirts. And their sites and social medial hasn't updated since ReCore released.

At least the animated short got finished and released. But that's a separate project. It was supposed to be a whole season, but they only got one episode, lel.

>>379534572

Why would Nintendo fans fund Sony related shit, dummy?

>>379553076
Because a Switch release is in the stretch goals.

>>379553040
The Red Ash game was funded by some Chinese company called Fuze, but who knows if anything is still happening with that.

>>379553190

A theory of mine is that Inafune was just saving face and was bullshitting with that. Maybe Fuze funded them, but they never specified how much. Maybe it was never enough to really fund a whole project. Inafune just wanted to avoid having to admit his project was a failure.

A part of me doesn't hate Inafune, just realizes he's a bit of a retard with bad luck.

>>379553434
That man has way, way too much pride. He needs to get back to Earth.

Never backed it and it is flawed as fuck, but I enjoy the fuck out of this game. Telling Jason players the Jason Part 6 smells better than their mother's overused dildo while jumping in and out of windows is good fun.

>>379553168
It was too little too late. I wanted a Switch version, but even at that point it was pretty obvious it wasn't going to get funded.
Plus I don't back kickstarters that don't at least show off some gameplay.

It's just not enough these days. There's been too many big name failures that the bubble for this kind of shit has popped. Also didn't help they had no pitch video or fucking anything, no surprise they haven't even gotten a quarter of the way in funding with just over a week left.

Of course they're not going to get funded. The game actually looks half decent, they just need to market their game better.

>>379553040
I thought Red Ash was supposed to be a 15 minute film oddly enough. I just found the whole thing interesting, Inafune went KS instead of going to any number of other publishers, maybe even Deep Silver, to fund what seemed to be a low budget game. It was also his second attempt at doing so when Mighty No 9 wasnt even released yet and they had to spill the beans that it was delayed, there were two kickstarters which created confusion, and now Comcept is dead while Inafune dropped off the face of the earth, and the game is supposed to come out in July. It'd be so sad if it wasnt fitting.

>>379553813

Keiji Inafune, and... ?

The problem with Rap Rabbit is that, yes, it's a new IP.
New IPs on Kickstarter have an uphill battle because everyone there wants nostalgia projects.

But also, even though a lot of people love PaRappa and Gitaroo Man, the truth is that they're both very niche titles. Rhythm games are a niche genre anyway. So it doesn't have a lot of mass appeal by default.

It's unfortunate, but I think a project like this is doomed from the very beginning.

>>379534572
I think people are finally getting wise to the fact that washed up devs trying to recapture their glory days on Kickstarter are not worth supporting. Especially not for over a million euros. Rap Rabbit would have ended up a Mighty Number 9 disappointment.

>>379535601
Thank god
Fuck Cyber step and their low effort gatcha games

>>379554485
There may not be a huge audience for it, but there's enough people who liked Captain Toad to probably fund something with a goal that small.

I also really liked FTL, Volgarr, and Freedom Planet though. Hollow Knight i'm waiting for to come to Switch.

>>379555521
that looks legitimately cool

Do you guys remember Daymare? It was done by some Italian group that was working on a RE2 remake. They tried a KS that flopped but they're still planning on releasing the game next year which is admirable, and the game looks great considering its low budget.

>>379555524

Money = time when it comes to games.

They can delay BECAUSE they have that funding.
Otherwise they would have to make compromises and rush development so that it can release before the money dries up.

I actually am looking forwards to see if SoH goes anywhere good.

But I still laughed like hell at how fast the devs panic-stopped the kickstarter when they realized they had to do shit like, tell their own regged users it'd even gone live.

It sure shut down that obnoxious shill /v/ had lurking around quick. Little bitch hasn't said shit since then.

>1.1 million dollars for a barebones rhythm game
PaRappa wasn't even that good. It was short and most of the time you'd fail songs despite pressing the buttons when you were supposed to, and there was never anything telling you what you were doing wrong.

>>379553813
Holy shit I had no idea that happened.

I would have funded the game myself, that looks adorable.

Welp. Now that I'm here, I'm hesitating to put my money where my mouth is.

Kickstarter is a medium for already established personalities and companies to make the audience pay them to make a game.
Unknown people will actual original, interesting and unique ideas are ignored and will not be funded.

It's kind of ironic how the only people who have successful Kickstarters are already well known people with connections and fund to make their own game without any problems, but still jew money from people in Kickstarter. It would be like people giving Ferrari money just so they would make a new concept for a new car to develop. Is there an audience that's more retarded than gamers? They're the one fueling this shit, they're the one that allows the devs to be such jews.

>>379534572
That's pretty disapointing. But really, it shouldn't have been a Kickstarter at all. What with Sony reviving Parappa with the HD remake, this would've been really cool thing to announce at E3.
