Anyway, those screenshots look familiar. I think the models are defaults that come with some game engine or other (relatively recent version of Torque?). Can anyone help me figure out which/if I'm correct in my suspicions?

As Mark Willett said,

Your screenshots is coming from a pre-built cloud solution known as Hero Engine. You basically used in game tools which were freely available that everyone here has access to to mock up from pregenerated terrain shown in the tutorial sections. All you have there is access to the engine and the ability to roam around.

Kickstarter is a liberal scam anyway.

Haha. What a bizarre project. Especially the Apple-based rewards, which has nothing to do with the project and obviously is just a portion of your money going to Apple to buy you something. At least he "Gets a large discount on these products" because of his job, so it's not 1 for 1 pointless. Still I can only imagine that offering to exploit your employee discount publicly is frowned upon.

Clearly you're a liberal.

Read the comments, they're the best part of all of these articles.

Everyone who donates $10 gets a free copy of the game when it comes out!!! I can't edit that pledge any more.

That should say $10 or more. :-)

*facepalm*

Especially when one considers the bit where he essentially says it's f2p.

This game will cost as much or as little as you wish to spend. We will fund this game though the sale of in game items. There will be no subscription fee to play this game. So you can either work really hard for your items or work easy and enjoy the game and buy things to make in game life easier. It will be up to you.

Hahahahaahahahahahhahaha.

Is this guy even Elwood Bartlett.

[Knight of Fools]

So... Even if I donated nothing I'd get the game for free?

Wait, and it's only $10?!

You should have told me sooner! I'll have to go withdraw my $10,000 immediately... *Grumble grumble.*

I kind of got the feeling reading through the project description that Kick Starter had a good reason for not giving the green light. The third or fourth comment down confirmed that. None of the rewards were related to the project (Give me money, and I'll give you an iPod I got at a discount!), and there wasn't really any project. It was just to support some guy's blog.

Shame on him for trying to pass it off as a scam. He's just embarrassing himself, there.

Oh, and another reason I didn't see your response as sarcasm earlier, read the comments section here: http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/03/14/win-lottery-design-mmo-profit/
A very large percentage are positive. D:

I think I had more realistic game ideas when I was five.
