Quote from: Bebpo on April 10, 2012, 07:00:47 PM

In my defense, when it first went up (like, within the first 15 mins), I read the thread Kagari put up and was like "oh, long time poster whose always done good by me trying to pursue their dream; sure I'll chip in a few bucks". I'd do the same if anyone on EB started up something as well. Was just a donation as she's always been a good fellow SE fan and I tend to do a lot of donation stuff at low levels because I like to help people.

real talk: I agree, I'd put in 10 for Demi's Bears Around The World kickstarter, or a Kickstarter for Kosma to remove his homosexual tattoo

Kinda agree. The problem is that most kickstarters by their very nature are appealing to a hardcore or niche crowd. I love the ios platform but its full of new casual gamer types who typically aren't hardcore. Not to mention getting people to spend money on ios games up front is like pulling tooth. You can bait them in later with in app purchases and stuff like that but once it goes over 6 or 7 bucks up front, ios gamers are a group of cheap son of a bitches. Not necessarily said in a demeaning way either.

cool breeze · « **Reply #401 on:** April 11, 2012, 08:22:46 PM »

It's true. Concept of value on iOS is completely mangled, and I'm not blaming the audience. Plus you're losing out in the impulse buy here.

I'll support it because it sounds great, but I don't think it will meet its goal.

For those that are on the fence about Jane Jensen kickstarter, Amazon has Gray Matter for $4.99 direct download. Then you can decide if you want to kickstart a sequel.

It should be a sale, yeah. It's normally $20 though usually around $15.

Bebpo · « **Reply #409 on:** April 13, 2012, 09:51:18 PM »

The design docs for the Jane Jenson kickstarter are up along with the voting. Voting concludes on Sunday morning.

As I expected and said previously, Moebius is destroying the other two at like 70% votes, with Gray Matter 2 getting 25% and Farming Adventure getting 5%. Gray Matter didn't get word of mouth and Moebius is quote "a sci-fi Fringe version of Gabriel Knight" which is a very crowd appeasing statement.

It looks like she might hit 300k and Moebius will get made. Really don't see it hitting 600k, so GM2 is gonna be out.

Bebpo · « **Reply #410 on:** April 13, 2012, 09:53:04 PM »

Although, I'm betting almost no one voting has read Jensen's sci-fi novels. She is a great mystery/thriller writer. Her sci-fi writing on the other hand is ^^;

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #411 on:** April 13, 2012, 10:04:29 PM »

I didn't even know she'd written any sci-fi. I've just read her Gabriel Knight novelizations.

Bebpo · « **Reply #412 on:** April 13, 2012, 10:19:21 PM »

I read one of her 2 non-game novels that she did after GK and before GM, Dante's Equation. The first half is a fuckkkkk awesome thriller with some mystical religious stuff. The 2nd half is STAR WARS x LoTR x DUNE and it's sooooo not that good.

Spoilers:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Basically first half is a bunch of really cool protagonists chasing/building a potential dimensional altering weapon kind of thing which matches up with religious prophecies.

Then at the half way point the whole cast teleports to alternate earths, each cast member on a different planet and every planet is totally different sci-fi planet. Like one is Avatar, one is a destroyed sci-fi civilization with only robots left, one is a planet of ogres, etc.... But all of them are amateurish in their sci-fi writing because it's really not her strong area.

I'll probably jump on this kickstarter. Will try to play Gray Matter first. And from that poll I would've picked that sci-fi adventure game too.

Tangentially related but an alien inspired adventure game that plays like clock tower would be awesome. One might exist and I've just never heard of it. Echo night beyond and enemy zero capture some of it.
