The Space Dwarves Just got Kickstarted

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1827950768/space-dwarves-multiplayer-game-project

Please help us make a great game.

Looks great, good luck with your Kickstarter!

Uh… so you’re not going to get anything if your cutoff for the kickstarter is 1.12 million dollars.

Yeah I was just looking at that. 1 million dollars pinkie on lower lip

Seriously, thats a very unrealistic goal. Thats a really big problem with most kickstarter projects, everyone shoots way too high.

The goal is a little high for only 30 days, dudes!

I think you’ve shot your load a bit early there dudes. You’ve got a half decent pedigree so you would have been better spending a bit more time to utilise your experience and skills a bit more to make a really awesome kickstarter with great concept art, a polished demo or showcase to show on your video, and unique assets rather than stuff obviously bought off 3DRT etc. With what you’re currently showing I think asking for so much is a bit far fetched.

there’s nothing wrong with using 3drt models…

unless youre asking for 1 million dollars :wink:

This is a joke of course.

But video description says this game is being made by a team of professionals! … although it also warns you that you shouldn’t trust anyone over 18… wait does kickstarter even filter these things? O__o

If this is a satirical meta-appeal which points out all of the flaws in Kickstarter’s system, it’s really quite good. Most Kickstarters start off with a few hundred bucks in the kitty from friends and family, and not doing this is a nice touch which adds to the irony.

If not… well, I’m just going to hope it is.

I really hope its not a joke. I wont take anything from anyone associated with this game seriously if it is.

clever? no.

stupid? very.

Whereas you would be inclined to take them seriously if they made this appeal and genuinely thought they had a fair shot of making $1.12 million USD?

Sure… there’s a difference between creating a naive ks and a mockery ks

As some constructive feedback I recommend them strongly to include some actual pvp gameplay into the trailer or show some WIP footage of actual interactive featues. As long as I can’t image how the game behaves I don’t feel like investing into a 1M $ kickstarter project. And I do know they can, the Collaboration thread looks very promising in respect to progress.

I’m going to seriously consider posting with subtitles in future.

THIS,
I saw that and was like wtf

If its real, these guys are in for a very VERY rude awakening. I had my own KS reality check when I realized even asking for 2k , when no one knows you is a long shot .

Oh, and I had so much hope for this project, it’s just gone downhill…

It’s not even that it’s 1.12 million. I could see that as a reasonable budget. It’s that without hitting 1.12 million they will never see a dime.

Whereas there are plenty of projects that have generated lots of buzz, had their kickstarter set at like $100k, and ended up at 1 million.

If you need 1.12 million and it’s worthy, you’ll get it, even if you don’t ask for that much. Or you can set it too high and get nothing.

It’s just a stupid decision no matter how much money they need. Unless it’s a troll. Which would be mildly funny.
