To any interested parties: I'm looking for feedback on my Kickstarter campaign before it launches next Tuesday. If you're willing to give me constructive criticism and advice on the campaign, please PM me. On Friday, I'll send you a preview link to the Kickstarter for you to analyze. You'll be credited at the end of the project video for helping me out.

Thank you in advance.

Andrew is the main creative force behind Project Epsilon, with the brunt of story, writing, and directing duties falling to him. He also voices the main character Andrex.

that character gets "killed" off fairly early. My VAing kinda sucks so he's not even in that many scenes.

Still, I do voice him, mostly because I want to get better at VAing.

I really hope Drinky picks the speaking cameo role. :hyper

Why Night Trap ReVamped Won't Be on Nintendo Systems

Quote
"Ever hear the term "never burn bridges?" Well, Howard Lincoln, the former president of Nintendo US, made our lives miserable during the 1994 Senate Hearings on Video Game Violence. Not only did he quietly suggest to congressman, though the use of Nintendo-supplied and heavily edited footage, that they should demonize Night Trap rather than Nintendo's Mortal Combat, but he also declared publicly that Night Trap would never appear on a Nintendo system. And he was right: as much as Nintendo desperately needs publishers to support their third-place platform, we won't be one of them. There's just too much bad blood between us and them."

That's pretty funny, but I'm sure the real answer is it's not worth the expense of bringing it onto Wii U due to low install base. Kind of unfortunate since I think they could actually make decent use of the tabletrollerwhateverthefuckyoucallit.

Ice-Pick Lodge [The Void, Cargo! - Quest for Gravity, and Knock-Knock] just put up their Kickstarter for a remake of their first game, Pathologic:

A mysterious and deadly disease breaks out in a remote town built upon old tanneries and butcheries. Whilst the disease can be identified by physical symptoms, its roots and origins remain mysterious. The disease is highly infectious and deadly. It affects the neural and the blood-circulating systems, crippling both body and mind.

To fight the epidemic the local authorities first send a learned doctor, then an inquisitor ordered to assess the situation, then a military commander. The first has to investigate the disease and find an optimal solution; the second has to save as many lives as possible while executing said solution; the third has the right to exterminate the whole Town should the others run out of options.

Along with the authorities’ agents two volunteers find their way through the Town along with the learned doctor, who goes by the name of The Bachelor. One of them, The Changeling, is a strange girl who believes she can heal with her hands, and the other, The Haruspex, is a talented amateur who’s fond of experimental surgery.

Taking on the role of one of these doctors, you’ll explore the town, its weird traditions, and the complex relationships of its inhabitants. You will only have twelve days to defeat the invisible enemy called the Sand Plague.

Time will become one of your most precious resources. Choices will haunt your every step. You’ll want to get closer to your goal, but sometimes it’ll all come down to mere survival. In a time when everyone is in danger, would you lend a gun to a person who may use it with ill intent? Would you try to save someone who claims they don’t need to be saved? Would you share your medicine with important figures who will unveil the Town’s numerous secrets in return, or would you rather help an ordinary stranger in need? Or maybe even selfishlykeep the pills in case you get sick? And sooner or later you will—Pathologic is a bleak and harsh survival adventure that’ll make sure of it.

They've been pulling in some really good numbers already today [$50k of a $250k goal], so I think they'll be able to make their goal with no problems. And they've come a long ways since their first game, so it should be a lot more playable at least.

Ice-Pick Lodge are among the most original devs in the industry. Pathologic is a frustrating and fascinating game, and adding more polish to it will only help.

This looks like a nice enough product but it's a solution to a problem I don't think really exists. These games were all designed for a minuscule resolution. Those looking for a nostalgia kick are more than likely fine with an emulator and the super hardcore would probably want something more all-encompassing.

This Strength Of The Sword Ultimate KS has been getting some press:

I bought Strength Of The Sword 3 on launch day on PSN because the description sounded cool + i think it was $5.  Haven't played it though, might give it a shot today.

Isn’t £175k a little cheap for the game you’re promising?

Indeed it is, but that figure alone doesn’t give you the whole picture. We’ve already put a plan in place using personal finances to get the game done no matter what happens, however this extra money can be used by us to hire a few more talented people, get the game done sooner and allow us to commit to more features and platforms too.

As stretch goals are reached you can see exactly what additional extras that money unlocks and we’ll be transparent with our development not just because it shows fans they can trust us, but we’re so excited to be developing the game and can’t wait to share the journey with them too!

Isn’t £175k a little expensive for the game you’re promising?

Not at all! Even including the personal money we’ve already contributed, the cost for this game will be a lot less than Banjo Kazooie on the N64 cost to make!

It should be more expensive, but because we are paying ourselves below the industry average, we only have a basic office and we are using Unity, it really helps us focus every resource we have on to developing the game. We’re as determined as the fans to get this game made and hopefully, looking at what we’ve produced in just 3 months, you’ll agree that we haven’t compromised on quality to do it.

In short, Yooka-Laylee will provide more content than BK, but cost less to make and cost fans less to buy too! Everyone’s a winner!
