This has a kickstarter, for whatever reason OP didn't shill it

26 days to go
Yeah, that's all we need is for people to come around here who don't do anything but ******* shill their games. The Codex already has several people who do that and we already have a bunch of eaters who do nothing but register to download mods.



BUY MY PORN! BUY MY PORN! BUY MY PORN!
Tweed, he literally makes two versions of the game. One that has the sexual content and one without. It could be way worse.

As long as people can **** on them I don't see the problem, UNLESS it is some sort of flood of threads. THAT will start to feel like ads more than anything, especially with the cluttering that will create. Doubt even ******** on such posts will filter them out, rendering them just annoying and an eyesore.
Brother Chad has engaged and posted things before making this thread that I recall, though it did took rusty and others to address he might be the developer in the video before he admitted to it, the main post being just the video of the trailer that could have very well been posted by anyone for any game. He does introduce himself in the ending of the trailer, but I, for example, would not have guessed he was they guy just from that, as posts here are at times just a video to open the discussion about it more than the person in the video posting it themselves. Hope I am making sense, today is quite the day for me :|

I've been busy the last few days. But yeah, if people have questions I'm more than happy to answer them.

Otherwise, what I do here is mostly ******** on Dustborn, and that got old.

You won't suddenly add pronouns as "customization", "***** representation" or endorsment, or other such bullshittery in the future, will you?

Honest answer: I have no plans for this, but if a backer pays me like $9k or whatever to put a character in the game, I won't mind either. Although, I'll still be writing those characters.

The cool thing about being completely in control, I also get full accountability. I have no plans to pander or have DEI policies, or whatever the word is now. But the game will be diverse due to the setting and it won't be forced.

You know, like how media should be.

I'll watch this but it does seem like a porn game and it looks like they've created a few such porn games in the past with "mm and ff content" they suggest they want to add harems to the game but lack budget.
I'm not backing but if the game is awesome and there's an option to turn off the porn I might pick it up.

And without the porn content this "game" has store bought assets randomly placed together that the camera pans through so far.

Maybe to make a video game but so far you could just put this on the asset store as a showcase of assets for all it tells you about the actual game.

Think he began modelling with 15 and then got lured by **** to do porn, became depressed, wanted to kill himself but called his mom and then stayed at her place and met his wife and now has 3 kids. Good for him tbh, porn is poison for both the people that star in them and those that consume it.

@Brother Chad


Couple questions if you don’t mind me asking.



1.Biggest game inspiration for Vampire Syndicate: Gangs of MoonFall?


2.What is the price tag of the game?

3.When is the best estimate release date for the game?

Guessing by the fact it’s one man project I say two to three years.


4.Have you considered using AI VA for parts of the game?


5.In the comments of the official trailer it was
Suggested that this was final attempt to convince yourself that you have a future in game development. Is that true?


6.Do you have rough prototype featuring the core mechanics (basic combat loop)

7.Your kickstarter page said this was your second attempt. What lessons did you learn from failed campaign that you used in making the second attempt successful?

8.Is the 25k kickstarter goal really the full production cost of game?

I say this because this is really low for what your game is attempting to do. Studios doing similar games like you ask 4X the kickstarter goal.


9.What was the reasoning behind the switch from originally using RPG marker to unreal engine?

10.Will the squad team be random generated characters or be pre set or companion characters with full subs stories?

11.Why made you decide to take on such a project?

By what I seen of your previous games which were Small 2D RPG Adventures ,a Turn-based first person / Isometric tactical RPG is quite a big jump both in scale and ambition.

While I do like what I seen in the trailer that quite frankly is very impressive for single developer with little funding. However I would be remiss in not having some concerns that this game is a bit to ambition for one man. Even when outsourcing some of the most time consuming aspects of game development ( store bought assets, AI, volunteer help, etc)

I don’t want to be negative and I truly hope for the best for you in succeeding In the kickstarter campaign thank you taking the time to answer my questions.

Couple questions if you don’t mind me asking.

1. I listed New Vegas and PS:T as inspirations.
2. Currently 34 USD, might be higher later.
3. No idea
4. Yeah, but AI's not ready and if I have the money I'd rather get real people
5. It wasn't a final attempt to convince myself I have a future in gamedev, it was my final attempt to actually secure a decent budget for a good game. So semantics, I guess.
6. Yes. I already put out an old demo. New demo is in development.
7. Switching to a more flexible and scalable engine is probably the biggest lesson.
8. Yeah, like I explained in the Kickstarter, I would use my own money to make up the rest. It would be a pretty painful ride, but I've done it before.
9. RPGMaker is too limited. I was getting to the point where I was using workarounds for bandaid solutions.
10. Both.
11. A project of this scale was always the plan. It was really just when I left RPGmaker for another engine that I was unsure on.
