melkathi Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Wayside Creations (Fallout Nuka Break webseries) just posted this update: Hello everyone! A new Kickstarter campaign has launched for our Legend of Grimrock series. We were inspired by the success story of Finnish independent game developers Almost Human, and captivated by the Legend of Grimrock’s storyline and design, so we reached out to the creators in hopes of developing a live-action series within the Grimrock world. Equally excited over the potential of a Grimrock series, Almost Human has partnered with us to develop a new, licensed series and bring the Legend of Grimrock to life in a whole new way. The Legend of Grimrock series will bring Wayside Creations veterans and new talent together. Co-founder Vincent Talenti (Fallout: Nuka Break seasons 1 & 2 and Fallout: Red Star) is set to direct the series. Obsidian Entertainment’s Chris Avellone (Fallout: New Vegas, Knights of the Old Republic 2) is attached to the series as a writer. The cast of Nuka Break, including Wayside Creations’ series regular Vic Mignogna (Full Metal Alchemist, Star Trek Continues), will return for roles and/or assist in the development of Grimrock. As part of the campaign, backers will get access to exclusive products—including the first Steam keys to the Legend of Grimrock sequel coming out in 2014. Other rewards will include a Blu-ray/DVD combo set with bonus features, signed props from the production, and opportunities for creative input on the project. Although high fantasy is a genre not usually tackled by indie filmmakers, we look forward to creating a quality high fantasy piece supported by the strength of the independent gaming community. Legend of Grimrock is an ambitious project designed to give fans of the game the live action series they deserve, while also offering our fans a new world to explore. While the new campaign is running, we'll of course be hard at work putting the finishing touches on your Nuka Break perks. Keep an eye on the horizon for those in the near future. We invite all of you to join our newest adventure here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waysidecreations/legend-of-grimrock-the-series 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Blarghagh Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Has anyone tried the Dungeon-Keeper like War for the Overworld alpha stuff via Steam early access (or KS backer access), yet? I have. It's becoming a pretty good DK clone but it's not far enough along to see how well it'll work out - thus far it lacks the charming black humor that the original had though not for lack of trying. It takes itself a little too seriously and most of the creature designs are played straight (and the only one that's a bit DK type silly is getting a huge backlash in their forums so doesn't seem to be lasting long - a serious case of "the community doesn't get it"). The gameplay is about the same as DK with some more depth to it so far, so that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gameplay is about the same as DK with some more depth to it so far, so that's good. Thanks for that. I wouldn't mind checking it out but not ready to fork over cash for early access yet. If they can keep gameplay similar to DK I'll probably at least enjoy playing it once or twice/worth a buy. Fingers crossed! “Things are as they are.

Does this mean Sci-fi is the way to go for KS projects ...what's Star Citizen secret that allowed such prodigious funding It's really very simple. Their fundraising has been going on for over a year now which allows them to keep increasing the number of backers. The average amount per backer is just over $100 but I would guess a lot of backers have only backed for half that (me for one), the rest made up from the monthly subscription for their backer "inside" look at the design and development of the game. There will also be a number of avid fans that have purchased multiple ship packages which can quite quickly add up to hundreds of dollars. The fact that they are very active on the forums helps also. Mostly it's as I said, time. With a very good developer presence on the site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjshae Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I guess in an era when Seahawks-Saints playoff tickets are going at $400+ for 3 hours of play, playing $100 for an extensive computer game is becoming feasible. At least for high end gamers. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I find Star Citizen an interesting case study in the types of payment options available and what fans actually consider acceptable in terms of price discrimination and exclusive access to content.

Bos_hybrid Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I find Star Citizen an interesting case study in the types of payment options available and what fans actually consider acceptable in terms of price discrimination and exclusive access to content. I'm not sure if you can apply Star Citizen's craziness to other games. Space sim fans have been starved for a looooong time, about the only thing on offer since freelancer(which could be argued wasn't a proper space sim) has been the X games(Reborn never happened), which are a whole different beast from Wing Commander games and Freespace. It has been essentially a dead genre. No other genre has been so ignored. Now add to that, the creator of arguably the best and most loved of these games is making this new space sim game, with pretty graphics, mmo features, SP campaign(the thing I'm looking forward to) and aggressive/good marketing to a starved fanbase and whole bunch of peoples wallets open. I don't think it's reproducible on this level. At least until another genre is ignored to the same extent and length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
