dead studio walking..

I mean they literally got 400k from crowdfunding in 2 days. They will be fine for a while. Obviously 400k isn't a lot for a long period but they still have 28days to go and they've been pretty resilient for like 20 years. Who knows though. The industry is just crazy for any studio

I also backed for $30 cause I want studios to stay afloat and not have to lay off more people

i would maybe consider it if DF made good games.   their games just aren't very good..

Yeah lol exactly.

Psychonauts 2 killed our gaming club. Maybe the lighthouse one was legit but I didn't bother.

yeah.  maybe I should try again with a better game.  anyone looking forward to something?   I'd suggest GTA but I don't think anyone wants to be restricted by a game club.

Oh i agree that I don't like their games or that they are particularly that good. But i'm a fan of the studio in general, especially after watching the Psychodyssey documentary.

lol, so you gave $30 to a studio to make games you don't even want to play?!  

can't find it quickly now but there was a thread on era yesterday or maybe the day before about how 700 games released on steam in the span of 1 week.    i'm sorry to say it but the games industry probably needs fewer people making games.   that's just too much content creation.

I'm actually interested in Keeper, but I just don't have the time to play plus I have lots of other stuff right now.  I don't particularly care about losing $30 to help a studio out. 

Yeah, that's mostly steams fault anyway. They make it too easy to just slap a game on it for $100. It's only going to get worse with AI too with everyone thinking they can just prompt a good game with a single sentence and throw it on steam.

great idea!

i'll bet i could create 700 games a week just myself.   Jump Taco.  Jump Avacado.  Jump Tomatoe...

Ha i mean there will probably be someone who becomes a millionaire off a prompted game made by AI soon enough

this game looks terrible.   it also looks exactly like the kind of game steam fanboys rave about:

I'm gonna vomit! Yeah what's funny is people complain and shame on GTA 6 cause Jason doesn't grab the object out of the fridge properly, but will fully say this game is a masterpiece.

The friendslop genre of games are going to make a few wealthy people for sure

It might be silly, but the fact that I've seen a bunch of games using Synty store assets, make me want to use it less

I get that. I see assets I have that I sometimes use that were used in Expedition 33 and makes me want to not use them either. lol
