I love Nexus, definitely backing this, but I feel like it could definitely fail to get it's funding. 650k is quite a sum and the game is not that well known despite how awesome it is..
first game is one of my all time favourite scifi strategy games, up there with homeworld.
and it has the most spectacular explosions and shield hit effects and all that.
remember that tech demo where you could just watch the AI battle? it was beautiful...
Likot Mosuskekim, Woodcutter cancels Sleep: Interrupted by Elephant.
Nice! Might have to back this one, looks interesting. Didn't really play a lot of the first game, but I like these kinds of games.
Btw, anybody else think that video was kinda awkward
it looks like it will fail without some major hype coming to its rescue :/
the first game is really too obscure and lacks the "big names" that projects like WL2 or DFA throw around to entice backers
I think it's mostly because this Kickstarter project has started on the quiet (too much), with basically no major announcements/no "marketing" whatsoever..and since the game itself is already quite niche, well
I hadn't even heard the Kickstarter was in the making before it was posted here. It's been 8 hours, and only 12k. I don't see this getting funded, the first day is usually the biggest.

I think it will be made. I recall some other kickstarters that got press about halfway into the period with low to average funding and were eventually funded. Funding will depend on how much this gets promoted on gaming sites.
Dev interview with TotalBiscuit. You can dislike the guy all you want, I personally am hoping he generates quite a bit of traffic and a miracle happens... But I doubt it
I've been trying to get his attention to make a video about the kickstarter through mail and twitter about 2 weeks ago. If he was holding out with the video to get this interview, he really shot them in the foot. Too little, too late. No way he alone can generate the traffic to get the rest of the money in a week. This kickstarter is doomed to fail, no question. They would need a massive industry-wide awareness campaign to succeed.
He should've posted it when he made it, I agree. Keeping that interview for 5 days is a long time, psychologically even more so. People who go to visit the kickstarter page now and see "6 days" with that amount of money, will already be pessimistic and thus less likely to fund. Stupid circle
Yeah, Nexus was one of the best-looking games back then. The lighting effects are still great. The LoD on asteroids has suffered quite a bit though. Would still look pretty good if you could just increase the view range for those.
This was back during the time where developers knew the clear differences between consoles and PCs, tailoring their games to each platform's strengths. An era long gone
Wow just spent 15 minutes waiting for my ship to distroy an enemy ship in the second mission. Meeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It was like this : right-click, then wait for 15 minutes while they shoot each other with pea shooters doing minimal damage. Boooring.
Lol you sounds like a kid from the derp age.
The ships have something called a shield, and it regenerates all the time, so if your weapon is not strong enough to take down the shield you never get to the hull. If you don't understand those basic concepts i think you should go back to playing SIMS.
1) get more anti shield weapons (doh)
2) get lasers and disable the shields.
3) put weapons energy at 200%
4) use fighters/gunboats to disable shields
5) use plasma
6) Booooooooooring
Shiiieeetttt, it's the first combat mission after the tutorial, retards, I didn't customize anything in my fleet (even if I can). Actually the game is still in tutorial mode, giving me hints etc.
This derp thing has gone too far, you fucking mongs, can't even discuss a game any more. Same in Max Payne 3 thread.
