    A lot of money to ask with not much to show, do not think this Kickstarter will be successful.

    Oh, good. I was just thinking we needed another indie, crowdfunded MMO that will take 15 years to develop and never release.

    That project is lacking professionals.

    I'm sure that guy is a good artist, but if he's the only one on the project they have no leadership experience nor programming experience.

    Risks and challenges:
    This Project is only a visual pitch so far, an idea and a dream. Yes. You read it right, there is no real game to be played yet. We can run at all places with the character and that's it so far.

    Kudos for being honest I guess...

    Sorry Project Shadow, I know you're not the same as other studios. Too many have burned people on kickstarter with failed projects. I wish you good luck on your adventurers!

    So he is a 3D artist/animator?

    His work looks pretty good.However making some nice character art doesn't make a game.
    So far it sounds like yet another BR with promises,your not getting my money for a BR,so your going to have to finish the REAL game first.

    $168 pledged of $864,729 goal? Honestly Indie crowd funded MMOs are kinda part of what hurt the MMO industry over the years (partially, not all).

    Kickstarter itself hasnt been a terrible thing for gaming- Lots of great singleplayer RPGs have been developed with KS.

    Kickstarted MMORPG's on the other hand...

    Single Player RPG = Shack, Apartment, House, or possibly a Mansion

    MMORPG = Skyscraper, Shopping Mall, Amusement Park, Neighborhood, Village, Town, or even a City

    The average singleplayer RPG is a pristine mansions with massive entertainment centers and heated pools.

    The average MMO is a rundown park, littered with broken bottles, where hobos fuck in plain sight and drug deals power the economy of the local hillbilly backwater town.

    Instead of trying to be like WoW, now everyone is trying to be like Star Citizen.....Make a couple hundred million and don't even have close to a finished game several years later.

    I'm too skeptic to even acknowledge this game, let alone bother to inform myself about it... or even support it. Just reading the title of the article is enough to know it's just another pipe dream.
  • UngoodUngood Member LegendaryPosts: 7,532
    Ok.. IF I read this right, this is pretty much just a 50 player Battle Royal game, with some NPC Mobs thrown in.

    Eh.. not feeling it.

    Maybe someone else can get excited about that concept.

    It takes millions and not in single digits but more like double or even triple digits to develop a mmorpg.

    It's not really an MMORPG.

    February 2022 delivery for a game that is not even started yet by a guy who has worked on some but has never made one. Sure thing bud.

    I don't appreciate your language, young man.  And I don't see any hobos.  Maybe a drug dealer or two, but that's to be expected.

    That's still $168 free money. All the other scamstarters not being charged with fraud has opened the gates to anyone who has ever worked on any game ever to try their hand at milking gullible gamers. Except many more of these to come now that a fk ton of people are out of work and more over the next few months. People will start justifying scamming strangers through things like this to feed their families cause if all you have to do is pretend you're working on a game why not, right?

    An artist asking for 900k for ideas and concept art is obviously a scam. Just look at what he's saying you can do...

    The game is described as, “a Fantasy Action RPG game with focus on interesting and challenging quests, a fun competitive aspect and a world full of interesting Stories.” Boasting multiple races and monster, you’ll be able to explore, take part in PvE content, co-op, and PvP in standard arena modes or a larger hunt mode.

    Yeah fking right, PVP, RACES, World, quests, how stupid does he think people are after almost 10 years of kickstarters lying to us with veteran devs not being able to put together a base game(CU). People who were heads of entire game studios can't make basics work but somehow this artist is going to give us everything give me a break.
