Holy shit I wish I lived in the US

Kickstarter right now is the biggest medium for this crap. If anyone's gotta give the good example, it's them. And their quality control seems to be pretty horrible.

It's not so much sheer stupidity rather then a lack of knowledge. Not everyone knows about RPG Maker.

because nobody ever uses kickstarter for a good reason


Never said that, but if this thing can so thoroughly abused that you can LITERALLY submit a piece of shit and raise thousands of dollars for it, the whole system should be taken down immediately and they should re-think it very carefully. People are being deluded into thinking they're pledging money to a game with fully custom graphics and created from scratch.

This made me laugh a little, lol: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/susanwilson/9-year-old-building-an-rpg-to-prove-her-brothers-w?ref=category


Honestly this is beyond retarded. I've also read about this scandal were a woman who was rich as SHIT started a Kickstarter to send her daughter to RPG Maker camp, because she didn't feel like paying for it. Then the internet went batshit and they got sued, the other thing Americans love to do.

Holy shit I wish I lived in the US

I guess Kickstarter is the American Dream to make quick easy money

Barkley 2 Kickstarter

Oh my god. You can bet that if I had any money at all I would be donating some of it to this. This is fantastic.

I wish them the best luck possible with this project. Barkley is probably one of my favourite indie games of all time, I would have never imagined that a sequel would ever get made.

The use of Barkley's name maybe? They've been very sly about it and used his name as little as possible on their Kickstarter, but it's still in the game itself.


This is probably why it isn't called Shut Up and Jam anywhere in the title. The dude's name isn't copyrighted.


I'm pretty sure there's a law somewhere that says you can't make videogames and make money off of famous people's names and appearance without their permission.

Echoes of Eternia only uses like a "few" rtp stuff from what I saw in the screenshot, though other than that it seems to use Mack sprites, and Coming of Age Day tiles (which really suit the Mack style btw). That being said, I'm not really sure if it's something that needed to go on Kickstarter, other than with the artwork, and soundtrack, as everything else seems perfectly doable for free. (I'm not particularly defending it, but it does actually look rather nice, the map, and the artwork. They "could" have at least tried parallaxing with those tilesets, anyway. :p)

Now Unemployment Quest I can definitely understand; nothing but rtp/Ace generator stuff, that never should have been on Kickstarter yet earned 10x what they were asking for. (The mapping in this is seriously repulsive btw, for a commercial game..)

(Calling them shit though is a bit much though..)

Why is that a bit much the guy is basically a con man and used like a fraction of the money to put his game on cheap CD's which he sold for even more $$$.

This is a perfectly legit kickstarter. Go bitch about the others.

Oh yeah nevermind the use of licensed material, aside from that and all the popculture references it's a perfectly legit kickstarter

How the hell is this game even legal? Couldn't Charles Barkley sue the shit out of them for this?

Holy shit I wish I lived in the US

I wish I lived in the US. You know why?

Because then I could quit my job and create a crappy Kickstarter project instead. With RPG Maker 2000. Yeah. And the best part is, people would actually pledge money to it.

You won't believe some of the crap there is on Kickstarter that raises thousands of dollars. I've seen crappy RPG Maker games with nothing but shitty RTP maps, being praised for its uniqueness.

Two shit examples right here:

Man, I wish I lived in the US. Because then I could quit my job and create a crappy Kickstarter project instead.
