|
 |
Codename: Herve needs more mustache grease money.
http://blackisle.com/
Promo video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MiEI18nb-dU
This will be an "Post-apocalyptic RPG strategy game, where your character will be an adventurer from a variety of backgrounds (mutant, human, cyborg). You'll be in charge of a colony and help rebuild the world. ." Basicaly a "kickstarter for a kickstarter on Kickstarter"
Not really much info right now, and the site disallows copying (and I'm not interested enough to look for a a solution to that), but:
- They are trying to gather money to build a prototype.
- Not kickstarting, Herve probably hates giving 10% away
- Eric Caen already gave $75, rejoice!
- Chris Taylor...Why, just why, man?
They also have Mark O'Green (which is pretty good, he wrote all talking heads in F1/F2), 20's depression era homeless guy (artist), and a producer who worked during the golden age in Interplay and apparently has no survival instinct because he's back.
NO MATTER the pledge YOU don't get even one copy of the game (as if it'll get finished) and NO refunds! THEY are NOT raising money for the game, but for a prototype to pitch to someone with money. And Forums.
Needless to say NO Fallout lore or references whatsoever.
A bit hard to find:

I'd rather burn my money than give it to Herve.

Total trap.
Looks like this is how they're planning to salvage Project V13. The train wreck continues.

I can wait long for a game I paid for,but not that I don't get some sort of obligation,that if/when it will be finished I will get my copy,I will just wait for a kickstarter or something from them,until then,good luck with the basics

It sounds like one of the shadiest and clumsiest scam attempts ever witnessed in the gaming industry..is mrs. Sarkeesian involved in this "project" by any chance?

BUT WAIT, there's more:

| Herve's mind slaves wrote: | -- Update #1 --
Not all of our updates will be of a serious nature. But this one is. The difference should be obvious, but in this case, we wanted to make certain people understood.
This is a real effort at creating a game. We wanted to be playful in our approach. We’re making games and that should be fun, both for us and for the fans involved. Game creation shouldn’t revolve around negativity.
We also want fan involvement. Positive involvement. That’s important to us, to the project. We want the final game to be something different, something entertaining. We want feedback on the game ideas.
We’re combining the call for fan involvement with a funding request. There’s no illusion here that we’re going to build more than a prototype with this level of funding. The final game will require more. But this initial funding method does two things. For one, it gives us an idea of who’s actually interested in a new post apocalyptic game – noted by their donation. This method, creating a private forum for those truly interested, also allows us to focus on those people. To hear their voices as opposed to the naysayers.
We understand there’s negative PR involved because of the past. People are free to make any comments they want. But that doesn’t help make something new. Those that aren’t interested in a new game can sit on the sidelines and gripe. That’s their right. We get it. The Internet fosters that behavior. Not a judgment call, just an observation.
We want to spend our time making a good game and want everyone involved to have fun doing it. That’s what gaming is all about.

And it keeps on going:
| Herve's mind slaves wrote: |
-- Update #2 -- Why you shouldn’t donate.
Something you should think about before donating or telling your friends to donate. You might be the cause of a small number of people sitting in their cramped, dark f****** shelter depressed because they’re not sitting in their cramped, dark f****** for real because the world didn’t really end.
Got that? Some people won’t be happy you’re helping.
So, if you have no compassion for those apocaleptics who want it all to come down around our ears (but not theirs), then you probably shouldn’t put in a contribution. But if those people, sitting in their ivory dungeons, annoy the hell out of you with their barrels of water, stacks of freeze dried, and smug attitudes, then maybe you should just empty the bank account on this project. Just to spite them.
Create some apoplectic apocaleptics. (Yeah, try saying it out loud.) |
I guess that's a hacked account...I really don't think anyone in their right mind would write that.
