Yooka-Laylee Is Officially Britain's Most Funded Kickstarter Game
See, I wish a lot of new IPs go this route. Like, Destiny. Bet if Activision wasn't breathing down Bungie's neck we probably would have seen a way better Destiny. Kickstarter allows devs to build the games they want without corporate nagging at them to make it different.
Here's to one day Bungie becoming independent. Don't worry Deej, we the fans would still support you guys and if it were to happen, here's to a better new IP under kickstarter(:

1 ReplyIt worked with project cars, it's a better route to go down than using greedy publishers.

it has over 10x the initial goal of 270,000 USD. still needs a few hundred thousand to have DLC included in the game,

I'm not surprised in the slightest to be honest.

6 Replies[quote]Kickstarter allows devs to build the games they want without corporate nagging at them to make it different.[/quote] It also removes all accountability though. Take a look at Broken Age, for example: a budget of 3.3 million US dollars and he was right back begging for more after splitting it into two parts. Or look at the Tropes vs Women in gaming series. That was funded what, two or three years ago? She received a shitload of money for her series for everything that it would supposedly entail. The result was ripping other peoples' footage instead of actually playing the games herself, research that was faulty at best and outright disingenuous at worst, and a release schedule that would give Valve a run for the money. As much as publishers tend to overstep their bounds lately to the detriment of the developer, product, and consumer, we shouldn't forget that it's them who can actually light a fire under the ass of a developer so that the work gets done.

Edited by Mr Coco: 5/15/2015 6:08:57 PMProblem is, not many people would take a AAA company that already has a ton of money very seriously if they came out saying "we need your guys' money". More importantly, Kickstarter projects create a [b]massive[/b] sense of entitlement: if Yooka-Laylee flops, [b]tons[/b] of people are going to be pissed; like Mass Effect 3 ending times 10 pissed.

3 RepliesEasy now, let's save the judgement for after the game releases. It still has the potential to disappoint like N&B did.

9 RepliesIt was a place for indie devs to be able to get funding for games they felt passionate about, but it's quickly turned into a "fund the big names and developers"
