This one seems to be especially small.

They have a relatively weak processor in their benchmarks (a 3ghz one) which might be causing a bottleneck anywhere they’ve got lots going on.

It also depends on your definition of big.

Those would be the RPG elements, though. when people say MMO, they usually mean MMORPG. (massively multiplayer online role-playing game). Things like Quests, Xp, Randomised loot/loot drops, all RPG elements.

New talent and creativity is great! But the way kickstarter works is that all of the risk is focused on the buyer. If kickstarter were to have even the smallest amount of incentive to have the content creator follow through or have a contingency for when shit goes south, I’d be more malleable to backing smaller…

To be fair, Molyneux has always had a reputation of making whimsical promises. But there are certainly other examples that exist where big name X appears on kickstarter and ends up flopping or not getting funded.

This actually happened too.

I’m more thinking Mighty No. 9 than Bloodstained, but giving your would be consumers an opportunity to pledge and say “yes. Do want.” instead of having guys like EA and Ubisoft tell us what we want is a nice alternative.

Diablo’s an interesting case because it’s set up to give you loot if you go so long without a legendary. It sort of feeds into that slot machine mentality where you spend a lot, win a little which encourages you to keep going (worse, sometimes the people beside you win a lot which encourages which also has a bit of…

For what it’s worth, I think the big indies (like, people who’ve been in higher positions at big-name publishers) are the kind of people I’d rather see doing kickstarters than two kids fresh out of highschool trying to make a new MMO based with unity with 0 programming experience between them and a staff of three…

Would be nice to have some standards updates too, like CSS handling, consistency issues with javascript, and so on.

The problem with that line of thinking is that the browsers change almost weekly, sometimes in incredibly huge ways. Firefox 3-6 months ago is a very different creature from Firefox today, and tommorow they may completely change something yet again.

To be fair, most relationships that formalize into a marriage with a pre-nup (or other contract-like agreement) are not likely going to be relationships founded on wholesome things like trust and equality.

level design wise it looks a lot like gunpoint but with less stealth

Well, if they used the meme without the creator’s permission, they could sue? like that fiasco with the nyan-cat and long-cat in Scribblenauts.

I think the worst offenders are not the guys who make and maintain apps like uTorrent or whatever, but guys like Adobe who want to install a fucking macafee scan for their flash player/pdf reader, or Java asking if you want to install a browser search toolbar. These tools don’t really do anything on their own from…

I don’t think there’ll be amiibo levels of scaricity and scalping. but i’m sure it will happen.

This almost seems consumer friendly.

well played.
