Support NeoGAF

[Vibranium]

Oh

Well, then it will be a sandbox shooter with RPG elements. Seems like Devin hasn't played New Vegas.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

In honor of Devin's pursuit of his dreams, I shall name my Mass Effect: Andromeda character after him and strive to do all the things he envisions for his game, including making my skills better.
Devin Sorbo will become the master of space as we know it.

 

[TM94]

Pledges won't save you Devin. Only a new licensing agreement can do that

 

[NoblesseOblige]

You'd think Kickstarter would parse things like 'Star Wars' and 'Poké-' in project titles and automatically flag and hide them for review until the project starter can prove they're authentic and have permission.

 

[Tertullian]

Guys, I think this might have a shot. Reasons:

• Devin Tripp is a very Star-Warsy name
• My uncle works for Disney
• How many other Kickstarters have gotten to 13 pages on GAF this fast?

I rest my case.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Risks and challenges:

Copy rights

Fucking lol

Hahahahaha

 

[ultrazilla]

Gonna just email Disney and mercy kill this quick. BRB

But someone using My Little Pony gave me my favorite Kickstarter fan film description ever.

Twilight Sparkle, in her human form, where she is invited by her friends on a trip to New York City with her friends. But the problem is; she would rather study than go shopping and have fun. Luckily, Pinkie Pie is there to help save the day.

And while the Ponies are having fun in NYC, a blood thirsty vampire who seeks out for young woman blood is out to drain the blood from Twilight Sparkle.

 

[GavinUK86]

 

[TM94]

For reasons we can't explain we're losing this kickstarter.

OOOOPA OOOOPA OOOPA

 

[D1renegade]

Stopped reading here

"Like many of us when we were kids we wanted to be like Luke skywalker or obi one kinobi, but like all of us"

The troll is strong with this one.

I chuckled though

 

[Boss Mog]

Is this a joke? I mean does that guy really think he's gonna scam people just like that. Well apparently so since he already has over 8k...

 

[ultrazilla]

And my work is done. Let's see how fast Disney and EA move on this.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I have a feeling this will get funded as a joke.

 

[adj_noun]

Is this a joke? I mean does that guy really think he's gonna scam people just like that. Well apparently so since he already has over 8k...

I doubt it's a joke. And he doesn't have any money. He only GETS money if the KS is successful.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

Basically he is saying that he has absolutely zero experience in any form or fashion in making a game.

But he's got a grand vision for what a Star Wars RPG should be. He's got an idea for a story about a Jedi and knows the game should have perks unless maybe it shouldn't.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

If this isn't official, it's getting killed in a second.

If it is

Spoiler

(it isn't)

then why not use some of that Disney money?

 

[Luke_Wal]

They want to make a Fallout-sized open world RPG, have no experience making games, and haven't had discussions about the actual Star Wars license? Yeah, okay.

 

[Stuart444]

It's funny how it's survived for several days already before someone found it and posted it here lol.

 

[Kusagari]

As I know there are other "very good" games over Star Wars, but within the bounds of good taste, I believe that these RPG's over Star Wars have not reached their full potential.

What does this even mean?

 

[TM94]

There was no license. I found him. I trusted him. I made a pledge. I can't explain what happened.

 

[diamount]

If this isn't official, it's getting killed in a second.

If it is

Spoiler

(it isn't)

It isn't official. EA have the license to SW games and will continue to do for 10 years.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

He does realize EA has an open world Star Wars game in production?

Like I was confused when I say this thread, because I though this was EA at first. I was like "has kickstarter sunk so far that one the biggest pub in gaming is doing it?". Then I saw it wasn't official, and I laughed. EA lawyers gonna have some fun soon. Maybe Disney lawyers too.

 

[BlondeTuna]

Four people clearly believe in Devin to have pledged $1500.

 

[TM94]

Devin's cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life-form

 

[Ricker]

Backed

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Devin Tripp already has a 10,000 word Wookiepedia page

 

[adj_noun]

Devin Tripp already has a 10,000 word Wookiepedia page

I didn't know he met Han Solo THAT many times.

 

[gdt]

That pitch is amazing.

 

[Heyasuki]

200k to build an open world RPG? ahahaha ha ha...

Not the type of game that can be kick started. These cost min 30 million to make.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

So this is one guy who doesn't have the Star Wars rights, is not a good programmer, is not a good artist, he's going to make it as beautiful as Battlefront and as intricate as The Witcher 3, all on a $200k budget? Sure thing pal.

 

[Peltz]

With the Force, anything is possible!

 

[calder]

Now in a truly perfect world he hits 200k and gets "funded" before Disney kills this. Or Disney doesn't respond until he asks for a license, which won't happen until after the KS closes.

Basically, I just what to see the ppl clicking on it as a joke get charged before it gets smothered with the cold pillow of reality.

 

[koryuken]

more like pledge $200,000 for me to pitch a storyline to Disney...

 

[Willy Wanka]

Only ships to the US. Your loss Devin, your loss.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Maybe if we give this guy a million EA will see the raw potential and hire him to spearhead Knights of the Old Republic 3, and Disney will let him Star in Epi 9.

Devin Tripp is the hero we deserve. A Gary Stu of the ages.

 

[Super Wario]

He sure likes his dating sites and oh, he's the CEO of Trippstips.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Guys how can you not pledge? What the fuck is wrong with all of you?

The graphics of Battlefront in a Witcher 3 game on a 200K budget by an unknown guy

that sells itself

 

[The Flash]

He sure likes his dating sites and oh, he's the CEO of Trippstips.

I'd be glad to offer him a tip

 

[Toma]

I'd be glad to offer him a tip

That was a stock market website with his tips apparently:
"Go check out our website @ www.trippstips.net and sign up for some FREE stock tips!"

 

[The Flash]

That was a stock market website with his tips apparently.

All the same I'd like to offer to take him to a library so that I can help him learn what a Cease & Desist is.

 

[newtypepilot]

He sure likes his dating sites and oh, he's the CEO of Trippstips.

He's the internet king

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Sounds really legit:

Hi I am Devin Tripp I am 20 years old and I have owned businesses ranging from clothing to stocks. I have learned and changed a lot in such short time. There is still much to learn, and I know that I am better prepared for the future to come.

Already at $8,5k! Gonna be huge!

 

[Admiral Woofington]

obi one kenobi would be proud

 

[DOWN]

But there's already a legit open world Star Wars game in development

 

[Brazil]

Man, I've always wanted to be obi one kinobi.

 

[Toki767]

I've been trying to figure out who Devin Tripp is. How is this not going to get shut down?

 

[Gurrry]

Like many of us when we were kids we wanted to be like Luke skywalker or obi one kinobi

Obi One Kinobi...

wtf is this

 

[MattKeil]

This reminds me of when I was 7 and my friend and I decided to build a massive underground clubhouse complete with running water, so we started digging in his backyard with spoons.

 

[Indurian]

Stretch goal: at $350,000 you'll be able to play as Obi Two Kenobi.

I'll back this if Obi Two is playable!
