** Official Carmageddon: Reincarnation thread **

as much as i loved the game there is some serious nutters out there,

it seems a few people have pledged upwards of $7500 and one has even pledged over $10k.
 
$10,000 to people like that is probably like $10 to me and you.

If I could afford $10,000 I certainly would, I am such a big fan of the original Carmageddon games and indie developers in general, it's great this project isn't being dictated buy a big corporate publisher.

I will up my pledge to $1000 at the end of the month. Will be cool to be a ped. :p

Anyway it seems to of picked up over the last day or two. Made $7500 yesterday and $4000 so far today. Needs to average $7000 a day to hit $400,000. However I see a surge in the last week as it'll be pay day week and also people will be putting in or upping their pledge.
 
I've been playing a bit of the original, plus a bit of Carmageddon 2 today - finally got them working properly on W7 64-bit! :)

For both, you'll want the nGlide wrapper.

Run nGlide Configuration and set your settings as appropriate, I'm setting it to resolution of 1920x1080, aspect ratio of 4:3 (this retains the original aspect ratio of the picture), VSync on, and the 3dfx splash screen to On (just to confirm that it's working correctly!)

For Carmageddon, you'll also want DosBox with support for Glide - I'm using Cosmic Dan's tweaked version of DosBox pre0.74 and am launching it with D-Fend Reloaded

For Carmageddon 2, again using nGlide, and selecting the Glide version when running (rather than Direct3D) - but, importantly, I've installed the Super Patch V2 - and after setting Compatibility Mode on carma2_hw.exe to Windows 98/Me mode - you can run Carma2.exe to set the initial setup, but after that, run Carma2_hw.exe to launch straight in.

I've got almost 100 games in Steam, but in the last few months I've hardly been able to sit down with any of them for more than an hour before getting bored - I've clocked up about 6 hours between both of these in pure gameplay just today! :)


Oh yeah, and forcing AA on the executables gives you even better graphics too! :)

pledged of $400,000 goal

15
days to go

Slowly getting there. I believe they could easily make twice that if they could release C1 & C2 on Steam or GOG.

I had a bit of a negative reaction to this kickstarter campaign. Dont get me wrong I would love to see this suceed and get a decent carmaggedon game out of it but its apparent to me they could not get a publisher on board and saw the sucess of Double Fine and thought 'we'll have a piece of that'.

I dont agree with thier description of Stainless as an 'indie developer' its been around for years and had many publishers involved with thier releases
 
When I played my friend's Carmageddon 2, it originally had the green blood and zombies, however I believe that the patch for making it red and pedestrians was incuded on the disk itself.

Could well be wrong though and he had downloaded the patch separately - it's been about 12 years and so can't really remember :p
