Re: Questions
The problem with KS is that it's entirely one sided in favour of the project maker. There is zero accountability, oversight, or legal consequences. The dev has no obligation to be communicative or…

Re: Questions
I wasn't able to fit this into my previous post so I will write this here. Kickstarter is certainly a double edged sword, and the vast majority of cases I've heard about have been negative.…

Re: Questions
You raise a lot of good points, Sith. Of course the big problem here is Sega. Evidently DOTF can't have done that well because Ecco has been getting the shaft from Sega for quite some time.…

Re: Questions
LB will certainly come under increased scrutiny. The public image of KS among gamers has hit rock bottom. People are calling it Scamstarter for a reason.…

Re: Questions
You and I simply have different approaches. In light of all the high profile video game scams on KS recently and the failure of many devs to deliver on their promises even with excessive funding…

Re: Questions
Of course I am well aware that Ed said he was in negotiations with someone who might fund LB . But that doesn't mean BB, a game on a much larger scale, would be funded too.…

Re: Questions
I agree with Sith. But pressuring Ed isn't going to get any results so all we can do is wait. I know that Ed is very busy but things have to change soon.…

Re: Questions
You are right, Sith. You can not release a game with no marketing and expect it to sell well (or in this case launch a new KS out of nowhere). These are various reactions I've gathered from the /v/…

Re: How can we best promote this game?
Naturally I agree that the pundits/activists should be ignored entirely. They don't care about video games, they just want to force their political agendas on other people.…

Re: How can we best promote this game?
Ed, it doesn't offend me personally, but one of the more common complaints I've seen about the game is the 'environmentalism'. For example, one comment I read said that they stopped watching the KS…

Re: Ecco the Dolphin
The whole internet is throwing a fit over the news that Sega has bought Atlus. I don't blame the Atlus fans because Sega is a horrible company that destroys everything they touch.…

Re: How can we best promote this game?
Ed, Playchemy's mission statement talks about the "games as art" thing, and that's fine. My advice to you is to avoid mentioning "games as art" altogether in your next round of interviews and press…

Re: How can we best promote this game?
Ed, does Tom Kalinske formerly from Sega work at your company? If so, even if he isn't involved with the game, he would be a great person to appear in your next video as an endorsement or maybe to…

Re: Questions
I wouldn't mind an off-topic thread/board where we can talk about other games and general chitchat. I think it would help to build the community. Ed, I know you're busy,…

Re: Learning from other Kickstarter projects
@Draikin: The latest news about Capcom's finances came out yesterday: they're dying. They only have $152 million left in their coffers, which is not a lot considering the bloated development costs…

Re: Questions
#1 What book did you say inspired some of your story behind ECCO? I believe one of them is "The Sounding", about a sentient sperm whale (it's in one of Ed's interviews).

@Ed: I don't know if you read manga, but this is a cool short story by Junji Ito about deep sea life and humanity's fear of the ocean. Maybe it will give you some ideas. http://mangafox.…
