Don't see a problem at all with female dwarves being ugly TBH, but gender-locking classes sucks. Should be easy to have a head swap with M/F heads.
There's a contingent of clueless older Republican guys who think that a handful of executive orders and an occasional Supreme Court ruling going our way undoes decades and decades of losses.
These people see a headline on the TV and assume that it represents real change. They can't internalize that changes in "rules" aka, words on paper, don't have magic effects on the real world. You need to actually change people to change the reality on the ground.
This can basically be said across the board.
Lots of Fox News headline triumphs, and very few Leftists fired from their jobs, prosecuted and hanged.
At that point why would the game dev make art assets? You'd just have a mannequin moving around with the assumption of players putting their own cosmetics on top.
Problem is that all the well-known IPs are locked down due to copyright. Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Battlestar, Dr Who -- You'll just get shut down if you're doing anything there, and without the name recognition no one will invest budget to actually do anything besides direct-to-video slop.
Why would you assume this game cost 100m to make? It looks like they bought a lot of generic nature/medieval assets from the asset store and then put them together.
1m probably doesn't cover all of the development costs, but lets be realistic, this is not a 100m dollar game. Probably 10m max, and that's assuming it was made in the USA with experienced devs. If we drop the salary by 1/2 to 1/4 for Italy-based devs, and less experience, then that chunk is probably around 25% to 50% of the total budget. Most likely they had other govt funding as well, via some other grants or NGOs.
The original games are pretty colorful but don't have anything resembling the weird asexualized / antihuman aesthetic of the new Marathon.
I have to assume that all of the people who were glazing nuMarathon for the "artstyle" were botted, because there's nothing appealing to any normal person about playing a post-op transexual in a world that looks like a corrupt Adobe InDesign doc.
MOBAs/HeroShooters generally got popular because with a team of ~5 you can always blame your loss on shitty teammates. But in a fighting game it's still inherently 1 on 1 (even tag fighters).
This is a big self-own not being able to understand the psychology of average gamers.
I'd say an additional problem with a tag fighting game is you need a big roster. 2XKO has 11 champs. It's absurd they can't knock out 20-30 champs with Riot's resources.
Honestly League kind of went off the rails as soon as they focused on DIEversifying the cast. There was a time when all of the characters were (more or less) White/Asian, and straight (or at least, not-sexualized).
The devs are desperate to try to turn it gayer, and management is probably just trying to get them to make sexy kpop-girl skins.
The official Fortnite account deleted their own tweet stating that, when it was shown this was untrue.
Way to sugar coat the problem
The problem is most of the big companies with $$$ are terminally infected.
Once your company has more than 1 HR person, or some DIE cancer in a leadership position, that person is never going to get fired unless the studio itself closes shop.
Unless there's evidence to the contrary, you 100% should assume that this was an entrapment operation. They are willing to kill people, so fabricating some Russian connection and funneling too-good-to-be-true funds to YouTubers for making videos they were making anyway is expected
IIRC Locals was set up by Dave Rubin, so almost certainly a service that's run by Jews/Israel.
GiveSendGo is probably the best option.
What exactly is on the linked page, if not something?
The page shows early gameplay videos with working mechanics, concept art, and lays out the overall concept for the game. It's not a fully polished game but that's exactly what you should expect from an authentic indie crowdfunding effort.
Kvltgames also has a track record of delivering. Their stuff is mechanically solid and enjoyable in itself, not just meme-tier slop like that Kyle Rittenhouse game or Steam shovelware.
Why should someone crowdfund this, for a potential game down the road, when they could just buy existing games that do a lot of the same things, for example?
Why would anyone crowdfund anything, when you can play 30 years worth of back catalog games? Why watch new TV, movies, read books, or listen to music?
I mean honestly I don't understand the point of your comment. If you're so autistic that you've checked out of living in anything that's present-day, then why bother commenting? Log off and enjoy your shit until you die.
I don't expect a videogame to change the world but it's not a bad thing to play a new game for a few hours once in awhile and blow some shit up. Even better if that game is actually promoting some good ideas, and not the typical Niggerworship and Faggotry.
Are you a woman, or otherwise incapable of understanding that there are other people in the world who behave differently from you?
It is pretty shortsighted to think that you can just ignore media that people spend literally thousands of hours on.
Seems pretty good for a prototype. Most crowdfunded games are already getting money from publishers + other finance channels, so it's not a realistic depiction of what early-stage development looks like. Having any art at all at this stage is good.
They NEED identity verification so that when you say Wrongthink on voicechat that it automatically deducts from your GoodGoyScore
Chinese are pretty open to ripping you off if you're not in their social circle. I don't know about Koreans, probably less so but still not quite as trustworthy as an American.
Ending the mandate that TSA requires all passengers to remove their shoes would probably cut down on the TSA lines by 50%, just by itself
Yep. Unfortunately no matter how much money they "lose" when you do the napkin math, if you're accepting the 10x bloated Hollywood budget figures, you're playing yourself
This is THE business model of every major company now. It's the entire premise of marketplace-resellers (Amazon, Steam) / SaaS / subscription-model / vendor-lock-in...
Exactly. Slim women on dating sites are not there because it's hard to find a guy, they're there for the high of having 50 guys chasing, or to sleep around
Almost all of the "remake" slop lately exists purely to act as Year Zero. They don't want you to think of the original X, they want you to think about X-remade with black disabled lesbians or TRT hormone injection furries.
