I've been waiting to buy this since its kickstart.

I wonder if it'll be in the steam summer sale >_> <_< :)

Quoting: scaineInstead, I think our articles act as an awesome filter of what will succeed.

I mean, we tend to only feature the projects we think look amazing, so I think that naturally slants the results towards success.

While that interpretation is not quite as fun, it is of course the likely one. One would expect that games cool enough for a writeup should have an advantage in getting funded. Games that have Linux as a stretch goal tend to be held to an even higher standard for being featured, plausible explanation of why featured-despite-Linux-stretch-goal projects were funded at an especially high rate.

Maybe someday one of the Haxe IDEs will get good enough to pry devs like him away from that dead-end flash stuff, even if it's not as polished as Abobe's flash authoring stuff...

@Speedster

Forget about it, the author is a militant Flash user. People were, at some point, nagging him to drop Flash, and trying to explain why it's a bad choice, and his response could be summed up as "no u". The fact that his previous game, Telepath RPG: Servants of God runs like ass on my computer when it has no business doing so suggests otherwise. It's not only slow, it's unplayable in anything but a very small window. Which is a shame, because it was an interesting game. Same thing for this one. Though I would suggest hiring an artist next time, in addition to using practically anything but Flash to make it.

Well despite that the physics seems quite unrealistic it seems to be a fun game. Will buy it once released.

Brilliant article, guys, sorry I couldn't help out with this one! A little, cynical demon on my shoulder suspects that The Funding Crowd might not have "impacted" the funding rate as much as the stats would suggest, however. Instead, I think our articles act as an awesome filter of what will succeed.

I mean, we tend to only feature the projects we think look amazing, so I think that naturally slants the results towards success.

And while I've only helped with the last 12 articles (which surprised me - feels like longer :P) I know there have been a couple of cases where I've said "that looks great, but with one week to run, it's doomed to fail, so let's drop it". Usually when it's utterly doomed though, like $2000/$150k with 5 days left, but it does happen.

Great stats though guys. Fantastic work.

I really wish this would get ported to something modern like Haxe. I had an early beta of Telepath Tactics on my previous gaming machine, but haven't gotten around to installing the obsolete Adobe Air stuff on my new one yet.

I want to point out a section of their kickstarter:

"We will release Road Redemption on PC (Windows/Mac/Linux)"

I backed it solely for that. I've been trying to run the alpha in Wine ... it tries to work, but it also really wants a gamepad, and I just don't care enough to try until mouse/keyboard support is in.

I loved the Road Rash games growing up. This looks exactly the same, so will be a nice nostalgia trip. I think the price is a bit steep for what's basically a Road Rash remake though, will need a lot of bells and whistles to make compensate the price.

Hmmm... Now, I know that arcade racers are not supposed to be realistic, but the physics in this games looks extremely primitive, almost non existent.

QuoteIf you remember we actually had the developers give away 15 copies of the game

Yes, it was closed beta access, because game is actually free-to-play :)

You have to play it! It is absolutely awesome game, takes some time to learn how to play but when you get it, you love it :)

EDIT:
Mmmm, seems like game isn't available for download on Steam yet, but I asked someone from dev team and they said they will fix it soon :)

Bought the game some time back, but the single player is really tough so to say :D. Wish there was a mode where you can for once build up completely to see the things endgame, and know what and how to build in future.

QuoteFeel free to reopen it if You are sure about it.

I'm worried I wouldn't be able to supply enough technical information to prove otherwise, and it is a game that has faded out into obscurity thus may be a waste of their time. Thank you for the suggestion, if I feel I can prove otherwise I will alert them.

Then you don't have to worry about it. Most than likely all you will have to do is run game with set WINEDEBUG=+something wine game.exe("something" is a thing that developers want to hear about) and provide them with the the output. So don't hesitate and take an action.

QuoteWarhammer 40k: Dawn of War II (Steam) starts to load gives no error and stops

I don't think that is actually fixed. It doesn't work when I try, and I've been trying with as many Wine releases as I can get my hands on. When they say it's fixed, what does that actually mean?

Can it get to the main menu, or is it just in a state that is suitable for debugging now?

As mentioned in comment that bug was fixed, but there are other related bugs still open. Or at least they think it is. Feel free to reopen it if You are sure about it.

The lack of consistent art is what turns me off of the game. This game can be amazing but I can't handle the low detailed characters and the higher detailed environment, weapons, and certain monsters. If/once the artwork is more refined and consistent, then I will look into this game more.

I would but I already have everything in this one from previous bundles.

Yeah, I'd rather wait for Star Dew Valley for Linux:
