Terezar Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I thought with the space quest community being what we are, that it might be nice for us to reach out and help other kickstarters in need. With that in mind, I present Unforgotten Quest, a 2D side scrolling action RPG with a heavy focus on humour an d4th wall breaking (really its right up the alley of space quest fans) You can check out the kick starter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/urealms/unforgotten-quest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinfan Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Unforgotten Quest forgot to plan for a Linux port :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terezar Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 from what I understand, after talking to some people about it, linux would be a stretch goal. The guy making this is pretty much making the game single handedly, so he needs to plan his time and finances carefully. I use linux too and I can safely say that programming a game for a linux system is....challenging, and the large majority of people don't use it, because its not as "user frienly" as windows and mac, so he would need extra incentive to do a linux port.

Dat Engineer Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I hate to say it, but I've been Kickstarted out -- I've donated to three Kickstarters this year, of which SpaceVenture was by far my most expensive donation. I would love to give more, but I have a little mutual fund to maintain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It depends on whether the dev starts out thinking cross-platform or not. If you pick the wrong libraries, every new platform can be a major pain with plenty of platform-specific code, but done right most of the work in adding a new platform is testing with some amount of debugging thrown in. Take Minecraft as a good example of an Indie game that is cross-platform with the help of solid libraries that handle the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terezar Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 thats fine if you are kickstartered out, the idea of this topic was to post kick starters that need more attention. If you know someone who might be interested in whatever gets posted here, or if you find kickstarters YOu want to bring more attention to, post em here and hopefully we good space quest fans will spread the word as far as we can :) drdrslashvohaul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I like it. :) The thought of giving other Kickstarters some attention, that is. Despite Kickstarter Fatigue now being a very real thing indeed, we in the Keronian Underground spent a lot of time trolling other game forums during the SpaceVenture Kickstarter and it's only fair that other noble ventures do the same with ours. ;) Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguinfan Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I also want to know why i haven't heard of these guys. :)  How many of the nerdcore bands who got invited to Nerdapalooza have you heard of? As a non-musically-oriented geek I only recognized one of them (not counting Duane and BrandO from this kickstarter thread), and I'm sure you can guess which one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerdapalooza  On an unrelated note, I see they have a fan at the ever-entertaining tropes site: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/TheAdventuresOfDuaneAndBrandO?from=Main.TheAdventuresOfDuaneandBrandO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terezar Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Don't forget yall, if you see something in here that you DO like, be sure to spread the word. Â Incedentilly the unforgotten realms one is at 65%, so its doing well.

penguinfan Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 http://www.kickstart...ss?ref=category  Survival post apocalyptic RPG  Aw look another RPG that has Linux support -- too bad I've never liked post-apocalyptic genre (didn't even pledge Wasteland 2 for that reason). I'll submit it to a Linux gaming site anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terezar Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Anyone who has linux who is worth their scripting ability has a windows emulator because lots of stuff doesnt work on linux. Fail to see the problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinfan Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Terezar, for me native games are way better -- wine is a last resort, often with annoying glitches and occasionally fails to work altogether (especially on less popular games, such as adventure games that I want to play). Loki native ports I used to play were flawless, and the Jack Keane port by Runesoft was also perfect. From early reports it sounds like Unity 4 Linux port was well done so there is going to be a bunch of solid native games coming out soon, thus there is little motivation to bother with any windows games that I don't already own. Â Also maybe you misread what I was trying to say? I wasn't saying that it lacked a native port, rather that the plot is unlikely to hold my interest. Maybe that was a delayed reaction to my earlier complaint about Unforgotten Quest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomimt Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 This one isn't in peril, but I thought you guys might be interested about it. Basically you'll get a digital pack of short stories and a couple of books by Bradley Beaulieu with 5 bucks.

penguinfan Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 http://www.kickstart...adventure-game/ Â The Red Queen of Oz is currently in-progress as a graphic novel, but this project is for expanding the story into an adventure game, which the project creator has been hoping for all along. Â Those who don't like any combat will be happy to know it's completely optional, and those who just don't like the twitchy stuff will be happy to know that combat is turn-based if you don't skip it. Â Supported platforms: Linux, Mac, Windows (mobile will probably be a stretch goal, if stretch goals become relevant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intendant S Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Yeah. I missed out on the comic (thankfully they're offering it as an incentive), but I love the premise of a cross-over between two of my favorite childhood stories. I joined in on day one. Now, if they decide to make a Mad Hatter mini I'll probably be putting more money down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intendant S Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 What do you get when you take a traditional point-and-click adventure game and add a liberal dose of Boggle to the mix? You get Spellirium, a fun looking blend of story and spelling game. Now, it's not on Kickstarter or Indigogo, but they instead created their own funding page. Head on over to http://spellirium.com/ and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
