"Never ending failure"... maybe you shouldn't do another generic "trying to be new" indie horror game. ????????????????????????

????????????????????????

Generic? have you at least played the demo?

Maybe people should make the games they want to and hope people enjoy them.

Please, tell us your amazing innovative idea for a horror game. We'll wait

I'm not a huge horror game fan but this guy clearly has a vision and the demo proves talent.

It's really a bummer that Kickstarter has become "Fund the old guy who used to have cool ideas and now wants to cash in on the old thing he used to do again" instead of "Fund the newcomer that actually has a cool new idea."

Backed 25$ after reading this, heh

This is sarcasm, right? Please let this be sarcasm...

 

[CadetMahoney]

It sounds like this dude is going to literally kill himself if this doesn't get funded.

you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Here's Johnny!

... wow.

 

[hwy_61]

EDIT: I totally missed another user's exact same post...talk about lacking originality.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

you gotta do what you gotta do.

Oh, come on, GAF.

 

[Messofanego]

Gorey Story Time!

Shit, I miss pop-out books. Whenever I make a greeting card for someone, it usually has a pop-out.

 

[Messofanego]

Didn't realise this game is doing a branching narrative. That'll be interesting, waking up in different nightmares.

 

[Killthee]

60k to go with 11 days left in the fund drive sounds like a steep climb. Maybe the thread title should get updated to reflect the projects funding progress and the announcement that backers will get the PC version day 1 instead of waiting for the Ouya exclusivity deal to end?

 

[Messofanego]

Simultaneous release, that's great!

Although how is the game going to be funded now? By Ouya?

Besides this change, they also lowered the minimum funding requirement and added a backer count to prevent situations like Gridiron Thunder.

Oh...so Ouya funded if they have enough backers/funding but not hitting the kickstarter goal?

 

[Messofanego]

Oh, it's on the website:

"Funding Requirements" shall mean:

1. Project Minimum. Have a Kickstarter minimum project funding goal of $10,000.
2. Number of Backers. For every $10,000 raised on Kickstarter, have a minimum of 100 backers.

So, Neverending Nightmares qualifies because it has 1706 backers which is more than 100 backers for each $10,000.

 

[Dascu]

C'mon, this game needs to happen. Looks way too cool to fail.

 

[More_Badass]

Damn I don't think this game is going to get funded. What a shame

A bit worried for Gilgenbach, considering his history with Retro/Grade....

 

[derExperte]

Oh...so Ouya funded if they have enough backers/funding but not hitting the kickstarter goal?

Unfortunately not, see his response in the comments section:

If the game doesn't get funded, then we get $0 from Kickstarter and $0 from Ouya. Here is the relevant section of the rules:
"OUYA will match 100% of Developer's funding goal on Kickstarter up to a maximum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in matching funds provided Developer has met its Kickstarter funding goal ("Matching Funds")."

 

[kuppy]

Come on people, only 8 days left and just about 50% done, this cannot happen to him again!

 

[microtubule]

I'm intrigued, it sounds interesting.

I backed it on KS but wonder how it's doing on Greenlight.

 

[Lonely1]

Isn't this an Ouya FTG game?

 

[derExperte]

Matt is on Giant Bomb's live show right now: http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/

 

[LiK]

i want this game funded. looks so interesting.

 

[bengraven]

GOREY!?

Just the art style alone sold this on me instantly.

 

[Messofanego]

Has gotten quite the boost since last I saw it. It could be close, but I don't think it'll make it. *hopes my pessimism is jinxed*

 

[DassoBrother]

It'll certainly be coming in hot if it makes it. I just pledged today and hope to see it become a reality. Could make for a good Spookin' with Scoops.

 

[JaxJag]

I haven't followed very many kickstarter projects. But considering how much time is left, what's the chances of this project getting funded?

 

[Zeouterlimits]

It feels real tight unfortunately.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

I haven't followed very many kickstarter projects. But considering how much time is left, what's the chances of this project getting funded?

I'd say it still has a shot, but it probably won't get funded. Projects that manage to get over 50% funding by the last week have a good chance of getting fully funded due to a surge in the last week. The project is currently at 63% but we haven't really seen a big surge yet and we're partway through the last week so that's worrisome. Also, the project ends on a Sunday which tends to be a weak day for kickstarter in general.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

55 hours left to pledge. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it'll make it. I feel bad for Gilgenbach

 

[Messofanego]

With all the talk with Matt, I'm surprised he hasn't actually played the demo yet for the feature. There are some great scares in just those 15 min!

 

[kuppy]

Update: Thank you!

We can still do it, let's not give up hope.

 

[More_Badass]

Oh, wow, 71K! I think it could reach its goal, but it's going to be close, really close

 

[Messofanego]

Where the hell did that jump come from?!

 

[Timekiller]

If anybody is on the edge about this i hope you'd reconsider. It's a brilliant project!

 

[microtubule]

RPS did a feature story on it here . I am guessing that's where some of the new infusion of backers originated from.

 

[sflufan]

Thanks to RPS, I backed this one too!

 

[More_Badass]

What a turn. This went from probably not getting funded to most likely going to succeed

29 hours to go and already at 82K

 

[petran79]

100.000 $ seems too much for that kind of game. it has an interesting premise but that design does not work for me.

Not when I have played The Cat Lady. A game where most of the excellent voice work and music was provided for free and budget cost much less

 

[ArjanN]

100.000 $ seems too much for that kind of game.

Not really. 100K is very little money to make a game, even an indie game.

 

[Messofanego]

24 hours left, $85,755.

This is going to be right down the wire.

 

[petethepanda]

The demo sold me, backed that shit. Hope it makes it.

 

[Nabs]

So close! Gotta get that Ouya money!

 

[Messofanego]

So close! Gotta get that Ouya money!

They have freed the games! lol

 

[More_Badass]

Messaged Stump about the changing the thread title. It's amazing how the campaign accelerated over the last few days. I was sure it wasn't going to make it.

 

[nbthedude]

Is it currently on trend ti make it now? I seems so close...

 

[More_Badass]

11k to go and 22 hours left. It's going to be close

 

[nbthedude]

11k to go and 22 hours left. It's going to be close

Except even thpugh it is only $11,000 that is more than any day except yesterday.

 

[More_Badass]

Well it's picked up a huge amount of momentum yesterday so hopefully that keeps up
