mmmm, youtube channel says its serious, to me anyway

[chaoticag]

I keep hearing that Kickstarter only green lights projects that they think are worth the artistic endeavor, then I see this. This is out and out copyright infringement, and no, it isn't a parody, as it seems to be played awfully seriously that I doubt a lawyer would be able to defend it. The quickest way to make this guy lose money, is to fund this project, I'd imagine.

And the half a dozen other projects we've seen in this thread.

I doubt KS seriously has any oversight. Things get put up and they respond to reports. But there seems to be zero, absolutely zero quality control in the application process. And honestly that's the way it should be, I think. Otherwise Kickstarter finds itself in the position of publisher, where they get to, or must, decide on each project's profitability, artistic merit and legal standing. That's what publishers already do, and it would fly in the face of what KS is ultimately about.

They make sure it's not a violation of their rules, eg. being a fundraiser, offering non-project rewards, etc.  But even so, sometimes those slip through the cracks.

This looks really, really cool. If they do it right, I will love them forever.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

the art seems a bit generic and uninteresting

[Scelly9]

Yeah, but I like the whole community supported gaming idea. That's mostly what I was talking about. Not necessarily the first game.

Update: Your World "creator" Elwood Bartlett's project has gone no further in funding and is 13 days from kickstarter closure. Bartlett remains smugly confident to this very hour, "lol"-ing at criticism and agreeing with everyone who supports him, which is only trolls at this point.

yourgameistoobig Nice. I just put my info in there. Says $5,040,000.00 to build. Lets see our budget is about that. It says: it would take an entry-level game developer 100.8 years to create this game. We won't factor in that we will be using experienced game developers. So lets see divide 100.8 years by 75 programmers/artists/etc (also detailed in our budget) and you get 1.34 years so that is 15 months. We are giving ourselves 18 months until launch. Ok that works. Thanks for the link!

HAhahahahaha~!

[MaximumZero]

*facepalm*

[Fenrir]

That is ridiculous—1.34 years is 16.08 months!

[lordcooper]

He's selling shares

For the first time in my life I am getting seriously tempted to scam someone.

[Aklyon]

So, did he change the first post?

[Skyrunner]

Wow, and he's selling them at $1033 a share? o_o That's such a high investment, and with such high risk, it's a flat NO.

Maybe if they were like $10 a share, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe.

Or, like its true value, $0.125 a share or so xD


Incidentally, anyone know why he has such a ... uh, distinctive look?

[Scelly9]

Obviously.
