So as a rule of thumb, be 20% better than this project before submitting to kickstarter.

So here is one, that caught my eye, mostly do to it claiming to be Shonen like.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1140956590/call-connect/

After reading through it, it's a date sim. And well, I like Date Sims, it's a guilty pleasure. Though he seems to shy away from the term.
 
But overall, I'm putting it here, because it's getting funding and I think it's strikingly clear this person doesnt really know what he wants from his game, and cant really draw. I also dont think he understands the conventions he using for his characters. Srsly, all the picts of woman are all either aroused or in a sexual tension situation.

This shouldn't be getting funded.

Aww, whoever made that image didn't do it right.  It should be "Ze Goggles.  Zey do nothing."

Outta respect for people who like Shonen, all I'll say is......lulz. His funding goal is totally reasonable and he's got about a snowball's chance of making it in time.

I think you forgot the 'un-', there.

Also, the video on that project made me want to punch a kitten. Preferably a basement-dwelling, Doritos-eating, Mountain Dew-drinking kitten.

I was surprised when I noticed he was black, I thought white otakus had a monopoly on bad dating sims.

This guy should scrap the game ideas and just write a novel.  I'd read it.

What, you don't like tiny tables with a space heater attached to the bottom?

/Sarcastic or not?

Could definitely spruce up the video though, his boring and unexcited voice would make anything seem unappealing.

However he tries to spin it... it's still a goddamn table.

The stupidest one yet. So... this guy will sell you his posters if you "donate"? This is really all there is to it. It makes no sense. He's not "starting" anything". You literally pay money and get some prints he's already made (also known as "buying") in 18 by 24 arbitrary units.

And none of the rewards get you the table.

When I get it I will cover it with a blanket like he has in the picture, turn on the heater, then sue him for burning my home down. Yay America!
