Re: Learning from other Kickstarter projects
@Ed: This is a Kickstarter you should take notice of, it is very similar to yours. I think it is a great example that you and your team can learn from for the next KS. http://www.kickstarter.…

Re: Questions
The buyout really was inevitable. Sega blew so much money on the Saturn to the point it did irreparable damage to the company. One of the biggest reasons the Dreamcast struggled with third party…

Re: Questions
I've never been a fan of Shenmue, but the reason there will never be another game is because the whole project was stupidly ambitious, with the first two games being only 2 of something like 11…

Re: Questions
You're entirely correct. Sega is well known for paying emulator makers and rom hackers to make their port collections for them. "Sega Smash Pack Volume 1" for Dreamcast is actually an emulator made…

Re: Questions

Re: Creatures
Will there be any crossbreeding between species? I think I read somewhere that porpoises are known to cross breed with other cetaceans on occasion.

Re: Questions
I'm just asking how far along the game is now since it's been four months. Your staff member said that the game design is still "fairly liquid", so I'm asking if it's still in a concept phase,…

Re: Questions
So what is happening with this game? These boards have been around for 4 months now and you have not shared any new content with us. I can understand if you are refining the game,…

Re: Creatures
Since animals dream just like we do, you could use that as part of the storytelling. It would be awesome if the game featured ominous and surreal dreams.…

Re: Questions
What is your policy on save files? I'm not sure how it works with modern PC games, but I think people should be able to back up their saves and progress so that the same file can be moved and played…

Re: How can we best promote this game?
Ed asked on Twitter about ideas for renaming LB. I have no objection to the idea itself. I can understand wanting to be able to link the games through their titles somehow without having to slap a…

Re: Questions
It's entirely relevant to the game. This discussion has been going on for a week. If it were a problem I'm sure the mods would have moved the posts to another thread.

Re: Questions
Exactly. Simply put, anything that requires a connection to the internet in some manner, or has its origins on a server, has a limited lifespan. No one can predict how long a given company may…

Re: Questions
@Sith: I agree with everything you just said. I consider digital-only games rentals. Sure they may last anywhere from 2 to 10 years, but they're still rentals and they will be gone eventually.…

Re: Questions
@James: I agree with you that the game does not need modds. I picture LB as a story-based console style game with a start and an end, so such features aren't necessary.…

Re: Ecco the Dolphin
Theoretically, if an Ecco arcade game were made and released in the mid to late 90s, how would it be designed? Would it be exploration based with upped difficulty or would it be more action oriented…

Re: The Little Blue Game Difficulty
It would be cool if the game had an "Arcade" mode where you have to beat it in one sitting. You could have it like Sonic 1 and 2 where you earn extra lives and continues as you go,…
