I think were now 3/3 for people talking about Mythic

I think were now 3/3 for people talking about Mythic

Well this thread is over 50 pages and I went back 3 without seeing any.

I somehow don't think Benjamin Walsh is the person to go to for the Your World game dev.

The four other games on the Pure Bang site are non-3D, not MMORPGs, and also are social games. D:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05/01/kickstopped-the-strange-case-of-mythic-gods-men/ This one got caught before it took off - the first outright scam I've seen. Most of the art is stolen and slightly tweaked in photoshop from other sites, and none of their staff are actually who they claimed they were (Blizzard veterans etc). Good that Kickstarter managed to catch them in the act.

Kickstarter didn't. Random internet people did.

Nine hours to go until Your World will have failed to be funded, officially. It's a pity that the three $10,000 "supporters" haven't retracted- Bartlett will take it for real evidence that his ideas are genius. I think we might be missing out on the possibility of a final rage post, but it certainly looks like he hasn't learned his lesson. Only time will tell if the designers he is speaking with will succeed in getting his lottery dough or not.

[Megaman]

I feel bad for him, he really has no idea how idiotic and misguided he's being.

[zombie urist]

He's selling a horse mount in his store for 13.30. >_>

Also he's already selling in game land. The lowest price is $100.

[Megaman]

...

What

[zombie urist]

Oh also remember how he said on his KS page thate you needed to pledge $10 for beta invite?

In his store he's accepting $1 donations for a beta invite.

And the horse mount requires you to be lvl 10 to use.

It saddens me, as a potential indie dev, to see someone's dream go down in flames.

At the same time, the rational part of me wants to pour gasoline on the fire so that the damned thing will burn longer.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Don't be sad at the dream going down in flames. Thats not the kind of thing you should be sad about, its when someone actually does create a game with their dream and then it goes down in flames that you should be sad. If I cried a single tear for every "Idea" person who's game idea went down then I would have no tears left for the rest of my life and I would probably put my children and their children into tear debt as well. Everyone who plays video games has an idea for a game or 20, its those of us who actually design the game and work on it that mean anything.

[MaximumZero]

Valid point. Very, very valid.

[Draco18s]

Made my parting shot at Bartlett and canceled my $1 pledge.
Told him that I hope he continues with his idea, so I can see him end up broke and miserable.
And eat popcorn.

[lordcooper]

Bit of a dick move don't you think?

[Draco18s]

Bit of a dick move don't you think?

And?

He hasn't accepted any advice that isn't his own, continually talks about how he can pull it off, despite having no experience, and how he's got millions he can throw at this project.

He's going to fail, it's a given.  I'm just along for the entertainment value of that failure.  So I can laugh and say, "I told you so" when he crashes and burns.

If he does miraculously pull it off and have a real, playable, marketable game at the end that doesn't have god awful mechanics and a hodgepodge of themes, etc. and he's still sane.  I will eat my hat.
