Here's another one that was on reddit and another shitty site. Although the guy looks like he "hired" a pixel artist in the last update, it's still $30,000 (goal of $10,000) going to an RPG Maker project.
ok I only glanced over that since you posted the link (and wouldn't touch reddit with a stolen iMac) but what is the problem?
Looks like an interesting project. Budget is hell of low (even $30k would be hell of low) unless the creator is doing this for free in their spare time. But a lot of people do just that.
It appears pretty much all the art assets were stolen from other places around the web. Basically, they had nothing.
I'm not sure about whether or not the art assets were stolen from other places, but I just being a little incredulous about being able to crowdsource $30,000 by saying you're going to be using a free-to-use development platform.
They even stole the photos of their office from other people.

Kinda afraid to speak it aloud but shit. I'm serious. Creating for a living would be a lot better than IT Managing, and I'll never know if I can unless I try to.
I've been working on an RPG for just under 3 months. Perhaps we should talk?

winky inspired me to finally really get serious about trying this
does it mean my effort is doomed to incompleteness and failure y/n
You may already have done this, but if you really want to do this, pick something simple to start with (make a pong clone, or whatever), because it is going to be more complicated than you think it is. It makes a huge difference to your motivation to be able to get something working quickly.
I've PM'd two expansive MMO(ish) story sequences, writing and executing one from scratch and on the other managing a 20% world redesign with 60ish quests rewritten (also largely by me) and implemented by the team.
But a programmer I am not. currently I am terrifying myself with the Unreal Devkit and trying to draw my design ideas into a coherent concept. Actually I wouldn't mind a little focus-group session, if people would be interested in tolerating some very alpha design ideas and giving feedback. Isn't there an IRC channel around somewhere?

definetly. If you are getting into programming (as opposed to hiring a team) you need to start in the late 1970s in terms of complexity and work your way forward.
It is way better to finish the worlds billionth Breakout clone (and Breakout / Arkanoid is pretty much the "Hello World" of game programmer - something everyone should do) than take on a project that is too complex to finish.
For your first couple games go for something that - in terms of gameplay and scale - you would find on an Atari 2600 (obviously with modern graphics / sound and such).
My first-and-only video game was a galaga clone on a TI-86
It was woefully unoptimized and clunky but it worked (mostly) and impressed my friends in 7th grade
I have since forgotten everything I learned from doing that
i dont have a good framework though, but I miss all the monster raising games from the early days of the playstation
I kind of want to mix those style of games with something like spore
there was a monster game from the ps1 era
I never played it but it sounded amazing
it was like, you put a CD in the game or something, and it makes a custom monster based on the music on the CD
Are you fucking with us Skippy?
DO NOT FUCK WITH ME ABOUT MONSTER RANCHER
what?
I never played it
here is the description
Remember when you though monsters were lurking in every dark corner of your house? Well, you were right: Every CD YOU OWN CONTAINS A MONSTER. Every PC CD, ever music CD and every game CD each has a monster living inside. Use Monster Rancher to safely release these monsters into a virtual environment where YOU'RE THE MASTER, TEACH YOUR MONSTER ATTACK MOVES. Capture your monster (on a memory card) and take him to a friend's house for some HEAD TO HEAD FIGHTING ACTION. We dare you to find and train your ultimate fighting machine!

I am buying one bottle tonight - should it be:
Remy Martin VSOP
Old Forrester bourbon
Four Roses
Evan Williams Single Barrel
or Forty Creek double barrel select which is apparently a genuine premium canadian whiskey, weird as that sounds.
I vote: Not Remy Martin
That's not me being a snob -- there are just better products for right around the same price.
I will defer to other boozers on the other options.

Reminds me of those barcode games that caused minor riots as someone discovered something totally OP and there was a mad rush to buy (or steal) crap to scan that code.
I don't think that Echoes of Eternia kickstarter is a scam.
Even using RPGmaker, they are all working for essentially free (waaaaaaaaay under min wage) considering the number of hours it is going to take to create their project.
I am braving the depths of Voddler's free catalogue!

I really can't read about the Liberian Civil War. It's a serious subject that should be read about seriously, but at some point every author feels the need to mention General Butt Naked and my inner five year old loses his shit.

Go go go
If I can take a stab at RPGMaker, you can do it
Where's my $30k for the project, kickstarter
I just love that the project has it so you can download the DIGITAL GAME AND THE DIGITAL SOUNDTRACK!! if you pledge $35.
edit: the game is basically $15 anyway. so an extra $20 gets you a soundtrack?
seriously this is just a bunch of hilarious bullshit. it might deliver, but it's so pumped up beyond what it really is that it's getting to be hilarious.
Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Wazilla, children's ice cream.

like that but then over time you could watch your monster evolve as you tweaked certain things
it would be like doing selection lines in biology but with a video game
i got this idea when a friend said he was going to breed nematodes for better infectivity

Someone should make a Bieber monster and a dubstep monster and make them fight
Let's play Mario Kart or something...

one of the coolest rarest most baddest awesomest monsters was on the Men In Black soundtrack.

Different project, wazilly
Oh, my mistake, sorry!
What if you worked for free but I gave you stock options like whoa.
Reminds me of those barcode games that caused minor riots as someone discovered something totally OP and there was a mad rush to buy (or steal) crap to scan that code.
hello yes, burger king?
I would like to give you 50,000 stock options for a whopper
what is the conversion rate of SkippyBucks to CastleCoins?
Hah people that work for like $20,000 a year and take stock options on a startup are insane.
Even using RPGmaker, they are all working for essentially free (waaaaaaaaay under min wage) considering the number of hours it is going to take to create their project.

We are a go for cat acquisition!
options yes. Options are for suckers.
Actual stock, well it depends. That can work out very well indeed. But you need to be realistic about what actual chances the company has.
...what the hell is wrong with you
why is that amusing?
I just love that the project has it so you can download the DIGITAL GAME AND THE DIGITAL SOUNDTRACK!! if you pledge $35.
