Ground Branch + Kickstarter FPS Thread

[Gimpymoo]

a lot of companies asking way above what most people would lately...

You need to be extremely good at advertising or had a great previous game to lead people to kickstart 300k+

There was the problem

Sad if the game does not come to market though.

if the kickstarter doesnt make the target you get the money refunded

Gutted.

edit
These guys have a very proven track record of making very good tactical shooters.

I assume you pulled that information from your ***.

Payment is not taken until the deadline has been reached and funding is successful.

Up till that point, any money you have put forward is simply a "pledge".

This looks awesome, why not just wait an extra month or two, that way they'd get the 400,000. If they are a small company would they actually need a deadline? If your small, work hard and take your time to produce something that breaks you into the industry, not ask for £250,000 in a month and then scrap it because the impossible didn't happen.

Whats a few extra months when we are talking this level of $$?

Was just thinking about this.

Annoys me that they wanted such large amount of money in a short space of time for a badly managed Kickstarter when their game looked to be rather decent and has some good ideas.

Goes to show that a good product alone does not a successful Kickstarter make, you need to run a good campaign.

Maybe despite what we think, their game was too "niche" perhaps?

I heard the game is not dead dispite it not making the kickstarter I don't know how true this is but a friend said he'd been checking the website & it's still going ahead.

Takedown: Red Sabre looks like it'll fill the gap nicely anyway. Was also a Kickstarter thing

About 1 min 30 in

Yeah i backed takedown on the principle that it was a spiritual successor to R6.
