>>720720879What game?I'd buy it for a dollar.
Daggerfall-like gaems>procgen dungeon>keeps sprawling on and on, 7 hours in to this delve already and still not found the doohickey i'm here to find>floor/wall textures clash without reason, it's like i'm going mad as i stroll through this incoherent dungeon>i just fell through the floor because i jumped up.DaggerSOUL
>>720720879Hard to say without seeing what the plans were. If he wanted vanilla world of warcraft for 75k he was dreaming
>>720721792>>720721649It was a retro style dungeon crawler. Prototype was barely functional didn't even have complete levels. The issue is, why would you plow ahead with that money with virtually nothing to show for it? That doesn't remotely seem like a wise investment and indicated severe mismanagement.

>>720720879Dungeons are the worst part of Daggerfall, like why the fuck would anyone want to play Daggerfall with just the dungeons?
>>720721947>why would you plow ahead with that money?>$75k"That money" got a demo with at least a PoC and 7 hours of content? And assets and printed media? That's a huge fucking success my man. Is it custom code or built on licensed stuff? I can't even pay a do-fuck-all office bitch for $75k/yr, if I got even a fake game I'd feel a lot better.

>>720720879Nice
>>720723413Nonono, some sprites and a poster and some barely functional mechanics and systems that were not close to playable, that's what I meant.
>>720720879>"what are your thoughts on this?">never says what "this" is new thread topic, what are your thoughts on sterilization of the mental defectives?
>>720724323I wholeheartedly endorse it.
>>720724323I don't particularly care for that concept.
>>720724323Do you include Indians in this proposal? They have a naverage IQ of 76, which until recently was considered mental retardation, before they lowered the threshold to 70.
>>720720879Who? What?>>720724323I believe nature takes its course and we should never go out of our way to enact it.
Are we going to get the title of the game?
>>720720879>Game barely comes together, infact not even a finished playable prototypeSounds like it's a good callback to Daggerfall, then, lol.
>What are your thoughts about this? A barely playable not even finished prototype that cost $75k? Did something go wrong or what?You must be talking about grant scams. Big business here in Canada, and too bad because some if them look like they have potential.This dev got a cool $1m maple bucks last year and then dropped off the face of the planet, even making their WordPress website private lmfao.https://www.instagram.com/codebluegames/reel/DKhhr8_syFL/They completely disappeared around March and they had a cool thing going.
>>720727725It wasn't. The guy was just rich I guess but out of his element. Claimed he was struggling with keeping the programmer working on it also...I dunno, guess you just need to plan shit and maybe if not enough progress is made with a certain amount of money, pause, and rethink your approach.
