I was going to vote yes on Greenlight, but a helpful commenter pointed me to a TVTropes page that set me straight

Interesting, my friend was just telling me how someone was going to publish it. He did one of the voices in the game, I think it was Marn, which he did by trying to sound like FLOE.

That was the reason given for cancelling the knickstarter.

Summer for all versions.

So I guess that the game has been unofficially pushed back then? From the press release that Iron Galaxy put out in January, it was scheduled for a spring release.

CHICAGO – January 22, 2013 –Iron Galaxy Studios is teaming up with One True Game Studios to release Divekick, a unique fighting game available in spring 2013 for PlayStation ®3 computer entertainment system, PlayStation ®Vita handheld entertainment system and PC.

Initially developed as a parody of fighting games by Adam Heart, the Editor-in-Chief of Shoryuken.com, Divekick gained notoriety in the community for its surprising depth and lack of a control stick. Divekick’s two-button controls and precise timing soon made it a staple in competitions. Shortly after its debut to long lines at Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament 8 in May 2012, Heart wanted to bring the game to a wider audience and launched a Kickstarter campaign in June 2012 to finish its PC release. The campaign reached its funding goal in less than one month.

Will this be at PAX East?

Did Kick just drop the mic at the end there?

Greatest victory pose ever.

Yeah, so far there might be problems with a Steam release, because reactions seem mixed. Not sure how unanimous Greenlit games have been, though.

Developers that still put fun ahead of graphics and explosions... Refreshing

Hi! Glad you liked our video. I'm here to skillfully dodge your meaningful questions.

Buy my product.

finally some honest PR i can appreciate.

To this day, I still don't fully understand Steam Greenlight. Why would someone go the Greenlight route instead of submitting their game to Steam for approval via the normal channels?

As tends to be the case with these things, we need a little more time.

Will this be at PAX East?

We have a big booth dedicated to Divekick. Please come play!

Understandable. Will it be an official game at CEO regardless of how finished it is by that point? I plan on entering and bodying everybody fo' free.

Divekick will have a latest build at NCR 2013, UFGT 9, and CEO 2013 and each has an official tournament.

I read it; viewers(in this case, gamers) are morons? It's off the mark, rest assured. I'm actually intrigued on the reasons why people would think this applies. I'd be offended if their pitch explained why there is a lifebar even though you die in one hit and mention this TV Trope, for example.

Because greenlight is the only channel if youre not big publisher. There was a outcry about it some timeago when developer who allready had games on steam had to submit new games through greenlight.

Why is that? I feel like I see indie games being self-published through Steam all the time that didn't go through Greenlight.

 

[Nabs]

Divekick seems to be a massive hit at PAX this weekend. I should have gone...

 

[Booker Dewitt]

I was asking Keits about the Kickbox controllers in a Twitch stream chat the other night, and he said that the two-button controllers actually put the player at a disadvantage because they lose the ability to utilize fake button presses. Apparently the metagame of tapping ununassigned buttons on a traditional stick to get the opponent to do something on reaction has formed over the course of testing the game.

This is just too perfect.

This was probably posted somewhere, but

 

[lupinko]

Is there a subtitle for this? Like Divekick: A New Generation of Dive and Kick.

This is just too perfect.

This is why it's the one true game.

 

[Dusk Golem]

This game was a LOT better than I expected it to be. Played several rounds with friends and randoms, we all loved it. Lot more strategy-bound than you may think. I also seem to be good at it as I never lost, not even against one of those Street Fighter tournament guys.

 

[Banana Kid]

Divekick was the best game I played at PAX. It's insanely fun.

I feel like I can love fighting games again now.

That's the beauty of it, it seems like a joke game but it is actually serious shit.

Daigo and team madcatz smiling like hell while playing dive kick (dat controller)

 

[GotchaForce]

Wow Cliffy, Daigo and friends....really happy for Keits. Game is the shit!

 

[Keits]

Thanks for the support and thanks to those of you who gave the game an honest try at PAX East.

We love you!

 

[MarkMan]

The game is amazing.

We had an 8 man tournament on the Mad Catz stage during Day 3! Great job Keits and IGS!

Here's a clip with Daigo playing (his first time playing) !
