Not justifying it, but that's a common tier.

Hey now, Kickstarter isn't about investing, it's about good will. And if there's one Kickstarter project that needs goodwill it's this.

Isn't that how most Kickstarters go? You give us a Latte and we'll give you a thanks? Not sure I see the issue.
I was actually talking to my boy Pinko Marx about this the other day. He feels that the mobile/Vita origins could be too constricting on the overall game design and PC gamers don't want a prettied up "mobile port". He might have a point, and I think the general stigma of it being a portable title might be dragging it through the mud some. But the biggest issue has been gaining attention. A lot of the big sites haven't bothered to give the kickstarter much coverage.
At this point, their best friends are going to be the big name streamers and youtubers. Get a vertical slice in their hands ASAP to make a big push.

Okay? I just told you why that tier exists, not that you have to buy it. It's basically a donation and the dev thanks you for it. How is that an issue?
well, personally i felt burned with shadowrun so i lost some faith on developers' abilities to design user interfaces and gameplay that scales up well for pc.
i think something like republique (was it?) that was presented as a mobile game and then added the pc option is a bit more acceptable, tbh. lower the money you ask and port it with the earnings you make or whatever
in general i can't imagine a game not being constrained by being on mobile. like, i'm making a really simple puzzle game right now that you only use flicks to control and i'm already having to rethink some functionality to make it work better on mobile, so yeah, it's impossible that one version won't affect the other unless they're completely different gameplay/interfacing
if you're against kickstarter then it's stupid for you to be criticizing tier rewards
Kickstarter is not a shop. You're donating and may choose a rewards when covering certain points of donation value. Honestly, 5 Dollars are not much for development.
I personally am glad that Kickstarter exist. A lot of amazing games and some other great stuff like the western release of Time of Eve wouldn't exist.

If you are wholly against the idea of Kickstarter then why are you scanning through Kickstarters and finding minute things to complain about?
Because you want to support the game? Duh.
Ah,lol. Yeah, I somewhat expected this stance. Makes no fucking sense at all, but hey, it's your call. Without kickstarter many of the best games of 2014/2013 wouldn't ever be released.

I already put in $120 Kiyone.
That's $138 in rent money gone between the two of us, Mihoshi, but we can't carry the whole campaign on our own! D:
Interface was certainly an issue with Shadowrun Returns, they managed to clean up some of the gameplay elements in Dragonfall at least. I'm eager to see how Shadowrun: Hong Kong will turn out since they've dropped the mobile versions and are tooling it exclusively for PC.
Overall scope is absolutely affected by being a mobile game, and NightCry has that working against it. I'm just worried that this will send a bad signal out to developers that Japanese horror is a no-no, and doubly so for acceptance on PC. I think the only other JP horror title I can think of coming to PC is... Corpse Party? And that was what, 6+ years after the original release? I don't want them thinking that only NepNep type stuff will really sell overseas.

I used Flawless Widescreen program and it worked for me when I played, HUD was a little wonky but totally playable.

Anyone who references Tad Ghostal is a super cool person in my book. The book contains pictures of my porcelain Space Ghost bust signed by George Lowe. No big deal.

Well the PC release is slightly outdated since we're getting Corpse Party: Blood Covered with the PSP version being updated and titled Corpse Party: Blood Covered... Repeated Fear it has a bit of content differences so they're both worth checking out even if you've only played one version though. (Entire chapter is missing in PSP version and repurposed in the sequel while the PC version has less bad ends overall.) Main difference to me is production value though and the PSP version has some killer audio and scenario additions that I love.

youre better off playing the mobile version since you wont want to hurt yourself trying to get it to work.
I spent like 90 minutes trying to roll back San Andreas to both fix some of the issues, re-add the tracks that were removed, and add Xbox controller prompts to the game. None of that shit really work, and i just ended up redownloading the PS2 version on my PS3 and calling it a day.
you shouldn't voice dumb unfounded opinions that don't concern you. or at least not be surprised when everyone tells you you're a dumboI just gave my opinion, because I know you wouldn't sleep well without it tonight
kickstarter for people that like it is a wonderful thing and people that like it don't see pledges the way you do. so saying a reward is bad from the perspective of someone that doesn't agree with kickstarter is like me having opinions on spiders. i don't like them, i don't pretend to like them, or try to understand why would anyone would like them, so i'm not gonna say yeah tomato spiders suck, potato spiders are much better or whatever
don't be a dumbo
i dunno, dreadout (or deadout was it? i forget) i think was fairly succesful and obviously resident evil now and evil within and all that crap
kickstarter is a lot about pr and probably nightcry just failed at that. seeing something like pathologic getting easily founded shows me that kickstarter is truly a place for niche stuff that isn't necessarily nostalgia based or whatever, and hopefully japanese devs will see that too (and hopefully fucking project phoenix will show some sign of progress someday...)
also imo making the game also for mobile is a red flag for a lot of people and is probably raising the money and time requirement (i have to do a lot of android testing for my tiny mobile/desktop game, so i can't imagine nightcry being any easier), even tho 300k is not too much money, really.

Does steamgaf like Corpse Party?
I enjoyed watching a playthrough of the first one enough, but "Book of Shadows" was incredibly boring to start; the beginning was filler and then seemed to just rehash events from the first game. I honestly didn't make it that far into it.
Now I'm jealous.

Your example spider names entertained me; I had to make sure they weren't real, so I googled them. Do not google image search potato spider.

Yep.
It's pretty easy to install and restores a large chunk of the game.
Been playing more Freedom Planet. It very well could have been an obscure Japanese Saturn Platformer, like Tryrush Deppy.
The tone is oddly dark though, which is the #1 reason why I'm skipping all the story scenes on my next play-through.

Well Book of Shadows fills in story for characters that didn't get much exposure during Corpse Party with the last chapter being the lead in to Blood Drive. Some chapters aren't too great but it's interesting getting some light shed on a few characters and the Blood Drive chapter is just gruesome. Since Blood Drive is unofficially confirmed to come over I'm pretty excited to finally see the aftermath of that chapter.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. I tried playing it on the PSP and it was some trial and error garbage. I had a section with a ghost that was trying to kill me. I had to replay it 5 times to figure out what they wanted me to do, and each time it required that i sit through about +5 minutes worth of texts and cutscenes before i could find myself dead again. The worst part? the 2 minutes of text that followed my death every time.
It's a shitty RPG maker game pretending to be a decent horror VN. It's garbage, and i bought it for $10 and it's sequel/prequel for $10 and i wish i had that money back.
I play bullet hell shooters on my 360 to calm down.
Why 360, and not the good PC ones?
Crimzon Clover, Touhou, etc..
Milamber, if you're reading this, who is your Touhou waifu?
The point & click gameplay and the numerous endings sound good to me, but I'm scared even by Alan Wake. How I finished Dead Space is still a mystery to me.
Still, I'll back it. It might come the day when I want to scare myself for no apparent reason.
Oh, this reminds that I need to back the new Shadowrun campaign as well.

I assume that's one of the shmups with young girls?
The only questionable-content shmup I've played was Darksmiles on 360 because there was a slick deal on the collector's edition and the reviews were good.
Not a bad game, but the deal/value doesn't seem so great in this new world where I got Crimzon Clover on Steam for $3.50, not to mention REVOLVER360:REACTOR and Astebreed in steam auction and humble bundle respectively.

I played Beat Hazard on PC before but today it is easier to play Flappy Bird on mobile phone XD
Not even I approve of Touhou. Those girls look all the same.

Well that doesn't matter to me really since I bought my 360 primarily because I played Death Smiles at the arcade. It's a really fun game!
I think people not valuing what CAVE were doing is the reason they're mobile-only now.
(Which is a shame since they made the ones I enjoy playing most.)Crimson Clover is pretty legit though so much respect there.
