I got some OC for this Kickstarter visionary.

 

[diamount]

Pitch an ambitious game with little to no actual details and bold claims. Still get $8000 in funding. Welcome to kickstarter.

You don't even need a game, how about potatoe salad? Kickstarter has you covered. Troll pledges indeed.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Yeah...

no....



Disney is going to shut this down.

Nonsense. Why would they do that?

 

[Labadal]

He has actually gotten $17k so far. This troll thread was funny and the Trollstarter was even funnier.

 

[adj_noun]

I hope he really did call up Disney. I can only imagine what the person on the other end was thinking.

 

[The Flash]

UPDATE:

Oh yeah I bet he did

It's 1313

 

[Ranmo]

I look away for 5 minutes, and now its at 17k. I thought it would stop by now but its actually just the beginning.

 

[awesomegamername]

Hahaha this is so excellent!

Oh, it has over $17,000 pledged already? I don't even...what's the point of life.

Edit: Who is this Devin Tripp guy? Just some kid who likes video games?

Star Wars yaoi?

 

[Hydrus]

I'm going to lmfao if this raises more money then Shenmue 3.

 

[Celegus]

Aren't jokes supposed to be funny?

 

[MrCunningham]

Nonsense. Why would they do that?

Well, you know... reasons.

 

[Ōkami]

Alright, who was it?

 

[Evilcrane]

This ain't Star Wars - A Witcher 3 "Like" Open World RPG

 

[Maddog]

I'm going to lmfao if this raises more money then Shenmue 3.

I'm waiting for the Paypal backer option.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

So who's making the OT?

 

[cyba89]

Oh. So it's only gonna be "like" Star Wars now? Way to disappoint your loyal backers, Devin.

[GavinUK86]

Pre Intro: This whole project was created solely by me, Devin Tripp. I do not have permission from Disney to create this game as of now. Disney has no part of this as of now. I have received a reply from Disney telling me to ask Lucas Films.

Uh huh.

 

[Tenrius]

He could have set a goal of $10k or $20k and it would have been funded by now.

Also his "about the creator" section:

I too have owned clothing, much of it.

But the most hilarious thing about it is "obi one Kinobi". Dude, seriously?

 

[Disorientator]

The light side of the force, I hope he chooses.

All this sounds and reads like something I would've done in the sixth grade. Actually I'm pretty sure I did do something similar in the sixth grade, but I didn't ask for money.

 

[Tenrius]

The right side of the force, I hope he chooses.

Stock pics of stocks!

How to stop laughing?

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Wonder what Disney is gonna say. It also says Star Wars "Like" Open World RPG.
Yeah, this isn't gonna end well.

 

[professor denim]

This sounds good. If Star Wars fails he could always reskin it to the Lord of the Rings.

 

[bootsthecat]

Stock pics of stocks!

 

[DJKhaled]

Hahaha can't believe people are backing this, looks like a complete scam and even if it isn't Disney will shut it down so quick.

 

[Sterok]

Should've been a Star Wars Musou-like game so that I could've crossed off another one of my 2016 predictions.

 

[sono]

Good luck and I mean that

 

[Sobriquet]

Damn, a Ceo? I bet he could fund a game with

Spoiler

obi

one days pay.

 

[Shahed]

The light side of the force, I hope he chooses.

What I love about this is that he spells the company name multiple different ways. Sometimes even right next to each other

 

[RyanW]

I mean, gotta love the guys passion for wanting to try to get something done

 

[VeryGooster]

 

[FireBeaver]

I feel like Kickstarter is becoming the new Greenlight.


Also, watch this get funded and people panic as they lose their money.

Can't wait for the next installment of Tripps Tips where he uses Kickstarter as prime example of scamming

 

[Deserted Maniac Island]

Just what I was thinking.

I won't support this, but I find it heartening for someone to pursue their dream. Even if it's an impossible dream, like start off with making a small game before you try to go make big budget games.

 

[Peltz]

I want to see this get funded and approved by Disney just to see this 20 year old try to realize his dream with 200k.

 

[Disorientator]

Also, watch this get funded and people panic as they lose their money.

Yeah, this.

Hope he has pure intentions, but unfortunately my gut says he using the re-ignited Star Wars craze + gamer's wishfull thinking for an amazeballs Star Wars RPG to get some money.

 

[ReBurn]

In for 1500

jk

 

[Kusagari]

"They pride themselves in their losers because there is so few."

This guy is horrible with words.

 

[Avallon]

It's raised $15,000.
