Yeah, I always let out a disappointed sigh when I see a promising project on IndieGoGo. I've seen too many interesting game fail horribly.
Is there a chance to go the Kickstarter route if the IGG fails?

They mannaged a bit over half that with Skullgirls, and that was for an expansion. There's a good chance they'll reach their goal.

On Kickstarter, this game would raise more money...
Looks good.

That gameplay is looking tight Ravid. Best of luck to you, Mike, Alex, and the whole Lab Zero crew.
Anyone who's ever advocated diversity in games in terms of character variety and geography should put their foot where their mouth is. Amazing locales and a WoC as the lead pretty much seals the significance of this project.
I really, sincerely hope this will make it. The game deserves it and with a playable prototype to boot. How many other kickstarters can even claim that much?

What's with this defeatist attitude, Rob >:O
Having not ever played Valkyrie Profile, my initial reaction to the gameplay (both exploration and combat) is "Hey, this feels a bit like Paper Mario TTYD". And that is excellent!
Demo is surprisingly tough in places, although maybe I'm just not used to the system. It also feels like some attacks are way weaker than others (why use anything other than Up+Action on Zebei?) with not much point to using the others. Also, is there any point to blocking individually vs one unit? And does continuously comboing and enemy actually delay them or does it just feel like it due to the length of the animations?
Anyways, consider this backed!

Hey get back to work on the Vita Exclusive Sequel to Cthulu Saves the World!
Yeah more than anything it's that starting price point that I see as dangerous, needs to be a $15 or so option.
The Skullgirls campaign was in a much better position. I feel the whole voting thing helped to extend their campaign far beyond where it would've been originally. This doesn't have anything like that to boost the numbers. On top of that, the expansion was for an already proven-good game whereas though this looks good there's no way to know how the final product will turn out.

This one has a lengthy (and fantastic) playable prototype
And the devs have already delivered on other projects.

Valkyrie Profile/Metroid is right in my wheel house. I backed skullgirls as well but mainly just because of the animation. I'll be backing this when I get off of work.
Bit of a tangent, but I appreciate all the insightful posts, Ravidrath. Hearing more in-depth information on skullgirls and to a small extent - Indivisible here, it's almost always interesting.

That thread has been up for two months. The campaign hasn't even been up 3 hours!
Besides, a kicksarter without a big-name attached to it never hits the ground running.
Ah c'mon man! I didn't have an account either and it literally took 5 seconds to link my FB account. It's a small thing to help a bad ass looking game like this come to fruition!

You don't even need to link your FB, all you need to do is give email > pay with paypal.

It'll turn out like the prototype, but with almost a dozen more HD quality incarnations fully fleshed out for battle, another 15-20 music pieces, more bosses, more enemies, a story that can support twenty to thirty hours of gaming and several entire new regions. Basically, take the prototype and add a 100x multiplier to just about everything. I'd say it's a pretty good example of how things will turn out.
Lab Zero also tends to overdeliver:
I think we can make it, Skullgirls almost made it to half of this.
Besides there is the prototype, even if some of you guys are still over the fence you can drop $5 and then buy the game when it releases, I mean c'mon is a lovely game and I love the music and art that we have been seeing.

Hopefully some YouTube channels check out the prototype
You mean this?
If you have some time, try to read the hurdle outside development that the team have to face numerous time. It's astonishing that Skullgirls reach its current stage and not canned.
I still think this doesn't have enough visibilty. I just googled "indivisible game" and the only results were from the official Indivisible stuff (youtube, twitter, etc) and stuff from the initial announcement a few months ago. There're no posts about the launch of the campaign on mainstream outlets as far as I can tell.
Granted, its pretty early in the day (esp. for the West coast), but this really needs more people to know that this has started.
tbh, that long thread mostly filled by the same posters that asking some question to Ravidrath and him answering them.
Just upgraded my tier and now its saying I've made two contributions , even though I clicked through the upgrade link. Not really a fan of the igg interface, maybe it's cuz I'm on my phone. Assuming this will get sorted out.
edit: nevetmind, just an issue with the contributions page, PayPal refunded me.
Good luck with the campaign!

By all accounts you should be supporting indiegogo too. The service takes a smaller vig than KS, ultimately meaning the developers need to raise less money overall.
I guess once you remove the time limit component from VP it could allow itself to be a much more exploration-based experience. Cool stuff.

Don't...don't bring logic into this ;-;
Though more seriously, I can see why. Sure you'd need double the number of basic backers, but you're more likely to get people to part with their money when it's only $15.

Looks awesome, but the title is a little weird. I also hope it has a good story.
Thanks!
As for the battle...

While some attacks might seem that way, they all have different meter gain and recharge times. Mike knows how to balance things and give them nuance and depth.
So if you're just looking at damage numbers, there's a very good chance that the moves you think are the strongest actually aren't.
A little weird, maybe? But we're not even approaching Square Enix title levels of weirdness.
It doesn't help that while they were preparing for the Kickstarter, another company managed to announce a game from the same genre coming out in Japan.

Just played the prototype build, and this game is great!
I'll probably upgrade my contribution here in a couple of weeks, because I want more of what this game is bringing to the table!

Why is the game called Indivisible?
Without getting into spoiler territory, the game is ultimately about unity and lots of people from lots of different backgrounds coming together.
Main things for us are that they take a smaller cut, and they pay faster.
Backed at 250! Strangely enough, the page doesn't seem to have recognized it, but it still got charged, so I'll just assume the site needs to catch up. Would have backed for more, but money's tighter than I'd prefer and Canadian conversion reaaaally sucks right now.
So, so excited for this.

Yeah, I was going to put in more, but when I saw what it came out to after conversion I had to lower my pledge. : <

I wish I had the cash to help create a monster.
That's what I'll have that plushie for!
Plotting and everything will be handled by us, actual writing will probably be handled by Christian Nutt, who wrote the Skullgirls DLC story dialog.
May need to hire more writers depending on the workload.
