Gas Powered Games' 'Wildman' failed to get funded. Leaving the company in dire straits.I guess a fool and his money aren't always parted ..
Wildman looked interesting, but Gas Powered Games isn't exactly a marque name and action-RPGs are a dime-a-dozen these days.
Damn, just heard about Wildman

Lord British Kickstarter incoming:http://www.lordbritishpresents.com/
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/susanwilson/9-year-old-building-an-rpg-to-prove-her-brothers-wLMAO @ at this kickstarter. It's pretty transparent and more than a little exploitative, but it's worth it to see GAF lose their shit over this.Bonus Points: The mom is actually a 1%er.http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=528903
Yup. This is a work of art. I'm super-impressed.

Does any uterus-bearing member of TheBore want to team up for a potentially lucrative Kickstarting initiative?
(Image removed from quote.)Amazing. And she also did one for her sons:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/susanwilson/the-cape-project?ref=usersTalk about commitment! They had all of one update!
I tried to wrangle my family together to do a quick video update at about 8pm last night to prove we were real. That, as you'd suspect, turned into a total nightmare because one of my son's in particular has a chip on his shoulder about everything. His snide comments led to his father yelling at him which led to a video that was not exactly the Wilson family at its best. But to quell the "scam" rumors I almost posted it.Part of the reason Kenzie was so into doing this campaign was because I've been talking about the power of crowdfunding for years (along with girl power) - which her brothers routinely laugh off. They're teenagers and they think their mom (i.e., me) is an idiot or something to that effect. They're not disrespectful (usually) but they're teens and because they see me as a mom and not at work (they think I made up the term "entrepreneur" and that I'm just on the computer all day. They can't quite reconcile the value of my opinion or advice while I'm also folding laundry and nagging them to clean their rooms. After all, if I was so smart, wouldn't they already want to do all those things? Or wouldn't I find a way to make sure they and I don't have to do ANY work.

...can pornstars use kickstarter?
Hm, didn't they announce this a while ago? Didn't expect this to end up on Kickstarter.
Do monsters level up or become stronger the bigger your party is?No. Monsters do not scale to your level. If you are level 1 and you see a level 10 monster: run. If you are trying to take on 10 monsters all by yourself while the rest of your party is somewhere else: good luck. Combat is balanced against a party.
I'm going to play this in single player. Do I still have to walk around with both characters?Yes. And you'll probably be walking around with 4 to 6 characters, not just two Think of this as a party based game. It is not an action RPG. You can solo if you want to (just tell party members to "stop following"), but combat will be hard as nails if you try to take enemies on single-handedly. You will need a well-balanced party.
I'm going to play this in single player. Isn't the co-op dialogue system going to be a bit weird? It's like talking to myself!What's wrong with talking to yourself?! You can roleplay both characters!Or you can choose dialogue AI personalities. For instance, you can have a loyal friend (who always does what you want), a liberal (who’ll always take the liberal point of view), a mad dog (interesting stuff) and so forth. You haven’t played something like this before, but it’s fun.
What about character development?Character development is classless. You define your starting stats freely yourself at character creation, and you choose your own starting skills. From then on, you can freely develop your character and pick skills from any of the several schools.Of those schools, 4 are magic (earth, wind, fire, water) but there are also other schools dedicated to combat/warrior skills and ranger/survivor skills. The exact amount of schools and skills is dependent on the success of our Kickstarter campaign.You get one skillpoint and one stat point per level up. We currently guess the level cap is around 20.
Do I control everyone in combat? Can I let AI take over in combat?You control everyone in combat. Well, not the enemies, obviously, but turn by turn, you have to tell your party members what to do. That includes both heroes, your henchmen and your summons. You cannot let AI control your party members in combat. In multiplayer, each player controls his hero, his personal henchman, and his summoned creature. (Each hero can hire one henchman, and can summon one creature.)
Trailer for Jane Jensen's Moebius:http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/a4cum2/jane-jensen-s-moebius-exclusive-trailerSo...yeah, not exactly the best trailer ever, but at least the backgrounds [what few of them we actually get to see] look pretty good.
