Support NeoGAF

For what it's worth, between the recent Aussie talk here and having Defiance on the brain, I'm envisioning you as Grant Bowler. This may be wildly inaccurate, but that's my mental image now.

I'm actually the person who inspired the creation of Saxton Hale.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

So most people in the thread are probably familiar with Sekai Project thanks to Sakura Spirit. They've got a visual novel interest survey that you can take part in.



All of the above.

I wonder what they'll think when they see the companies I put in for "other companies you'd like to see titles from".

so are the F1 games usually region locked? I would love to grab 2014 from a seller if I can when it is available!

Several interesting Kickstarter projects I found:

Fritz: A Video Game About World War I.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/462029764/fritz-a-video-game-about-world-war-one?ref=discovery

The protagonist being a German front line soldier is something that is not seen much in media, especially videogames. That alone sets this project apart from most. The footage in the pitch video looks like a early prototype and the images in the kickstarter are actually taken from the same movie. I assume this is because progress is very preliminary. Looking at the total amount being asked, it's clear that backers are being asked to pay the developers rent and food budget. While there is nothing wrong with such small indie games, people should be aware that if the developer or one of his family members gets sick or injured, development will grind to a halt and most likely never be completed.

Jenny LeClue - A Handmade Adventure Game.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mografi/jenny-leclue-a-handmade-adventure-game?ref=discovery

It was promoted by makeshiftchief in the Steam thread already. Just as it was then, it continues to impress. If the developer can deliver on the promises set in the pitch video, it should be something special. Even in the crowded indie space.

Jotun.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/682108903/jotun?ref=discovery

The principle thing everyone will notice is the wonderful hand drawn art used by this game. I can't comment on how the game will turn out, especially due to the grand promises they are making in the video. But, from a pure aesthetic approach I cannot wait for the game to be completed.

Survive the Nights.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/697158346/survive-the-nights?ref=category

This game seems like it is spreading itself thin trying to be the end all to post apocalyptic first person survival games. While I appreciate their courage to tackle such a monumental task, I have to say they are asking for a pittance for a game that needs a lot of work to improve the existing experience let alone expand the game mechanics.

After Reset RPG
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackcloudstudios/after-reset-rpg-rebooted?ref=category

This is also a very troublesome pitch for a kickstarter. It should be noted that at the current backing level, the developers are only promising to deliver a prologue and a 'cinematic intro', for Steam Early Access; and only for the $20 backer level. Unless you are smitten by the idea, I would be cautions about significantly backing an unproven developer.

Zipper Quest
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1980879772/zippons-quest-the-lost-kingdom?ref=category

As of posting, this kickstarter is nothing more than a prototype image of a anthropomorphic mouse and a developer name dropping famous games and nostalgic genres. I don't understand why Shadownet decided to mention it in his post.

Squarriors: Teeth & Nails
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/devilsdue/squarriors-teeth-and-nails?ref=discovery

This seems interesting, if for the art work alone. I'll keep an eye on the kickstarter and series as it progresses.

Heh! One of these days I'm going to have to install Hat Simulator 2014 Team Fortress 2 myself. Had a lot of fun with Team Fortress mods for different games over the years - there was a time when a friend and I used to play Quakeworld CustomTF religiously - I but never got around to playing the Team Fortress game, oddly enough.

yay it's my birthday

Happy birthday!

Do people still do reviews? I want to do a review:



Show me that concept again. (Show me that concept)
Don’t waste another minute on your playin’.
You’ll stop nowhere near the end (nowhere near)
A good game is not ready to begin.

Oooohhh. As long as we got super meat boy
We got a decent platformer right in our hands.
Steam bros you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest players who quickly quit playin’.

As long as we get tight controls’
we can play anything else that comes our way
Baby, spikes or shovels, all the time
We got plenty of other games, deserving of laughter and love.



So yeah, Growing Pains is not good.

Haha, this is most amusing review that I've read in awhile.

 

[JaseC]

Why Crytek doesn't partner with Michal Bay to make a videogame? I think it could be the best AAA full graphics only videogame ever made. I mean, the plot of Transformers 4 is written so bad I can't find words to describe it.

Because Crytek has no staff. I hope Deep Silver buys Second Sight at some point because Crytek sure doesn't seem interested in doing anything with it.

Haha. Is there a game that's actually called "Trademark"? If not, someone shall develop this.

edit: It would be called Trademark™ then of course.
edit2:

Attempting to trademark a game named trademark would probably cause the USPTO offices to implode.

GOOD. Let's get on that right away.

Since I came up with the name of our game, I think it's only fair if you guys do the rest of the stuff, eh?

 

[Snakethesniper]

Is there a way to skip a game in the idle_master? Blade Symphony after the first drop isn't dropping anything

 

[MUnited83]

Idle Master working beautifully, got 14 drops overnight.

I'm surprised it's not mentioned there. But the developer did say he's planning to add OR support (and Morpheus, if it's ever coming out): http://vrfocus.com/archives/1871/mind-path-thalamus-coming-project-morpheus/

Jshack should just release an update where this game is just skipped automatically lol

Blade Symphony just takes a million hours. It's normal.

None of those are on GAF's list of usually recommended gaming mice. Is that all you have available to buy?

not really, it just ones that are available today like right now, and as my mouse fell victim to this unholy heat, I'm in a hurry, kinda.

I just use a plain old logitech m185. Super cheap, Perfectly happy with it.

The Sweex MA030 because it is a mousepad. Don't be chained by convention, or common sense, bring down the system; mousepad by mousepad.

Don't listen to them. A Razer NAGA is amazing for any game you play.

Each of those buttons can be used for your weapon/spell switching. They can also be assigned specific shortcuts and profiles per game/program.

I loved my Naga, but the build quality is absolute shit.

Old one, build quality takes a dive for sure. But the new 2014 ones with the mechanical buttons are amazing.
