Support NeoGAF

[Black Pewter]

This honestly sounds like a child's writing. I mean it's exactly how my proposals for games sounded when I was 11. Kickstarter needs to shut this down before it balloons out of control.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I am currently looking into talking with Disney if I am able to do this. If not then there might have to be a compromise on the name or some other parts. I need your help. I am not a very good programmer, and I'm an even worst artist. I want to put this project into the hands of professionals, but in order to do that I need money to hire them. This was my dream as a kid I hope you can share my same compassion, thank you.

What a load of nonsense.

Everyone, click the "report" button and move on.

 

[robotrock]

Devin will get this done. He has my trust.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

This one should be interesting to watch.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Looks like one of those threads a 13-year-old kid would make on GameFAQs. "Hey guys just started learning unity let's make a star wars rpg i have tons of ideas, who's with me"

 

[ArchedThunder]

Cease and desist in 3... 2...

 

[Veldin]

Whoa, if you pledge 5 or 10 dollars, you get a letter! A thank you letter!

SIGN ME UP

 

[BiggNife]

Shoot for the moon, Devin

Even if you miss you'll land among the stars

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Uhhh, someone at Kickstarter approved this?

It should be apparent by now that the staff at Kickstarter think they are fighting The Man.

 

[off duty ninja]

As much as I'd love a Star Wars RPG, I am not sure why 20 y/o Devin thinks he of all people will be able to negotiate a deal with Disney and I would assume EA as well.

Does this guy have some credibility that I am not aware of?

EDIT: I can't believe I replied to this joke in such a serious manner, but DON'T FUCK WITH MY EMOTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO STAR WARS!!

Risks and challenges

Copy rights




AMAZING

 

[Xander51]

I'm sad that there isn't a video.

 

[Caronte]

Can't believe a few people actually gave money to this.

 

[Enosh]

Devin is going to get buried under disneyland

 

[Kazer]

GOTY 2017 already confirmed. Thanks, Devin!

 

[Sinatar]

 

[Dynasty8]

Rights are exclusive to EA as far as I know.

Not to sound like a Debbie Downer, but I'm surprised some of you think this is going to happen. Not a chance.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Seems to be a lot more enthusiasm then actual knowledge in making a game. Good luck to the guy but I think a lot more prep was needed before even thinking of starting a kickstarter.

 

[jesu]

Just sounds like someone messing around.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I'm a big proponent of fan games but trying to secure funding to create a fangame is the fastest way to get your project shut down. Sounds like a joke, really, but I haven't read the proposal.

Can't create a game like the Witcher 3 or Fallout 4 without $200,000.

 

[Linkark07]

Amusing to say the least

 

[The Bad Guy]

"I have decided to take matters into my own hands and write a story in the star wars universe that will fit inside a RPG video game. I am currently looking into talking with Disney if I am able to do this. If not then there might have to be a compromise on the name or some other parts."

So it is basically not going to happen.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Aw shit, how did I miss that thread? Damn, now I made my own, worse version of it. Sorry mods.

I'm glad it won't be a 1995/2005 game. Those can be made just in a month or two.

 

[Nokterian]

 

[JayEH]

Graphics of battlefront and feel of the witcher? sign me up.

 

[ArjanN]

Shoot for the moon, Devin

Even if you miss you'll land among the stars

That's no moon.

 

[names2hard4you]

I'm sorry to say this... But this has disaster written all over it. I get that he's passionate about it, but in no way, shape or form will Disney back this.

 

[theechrisfox]

He probably just forgot to mention that he works for Disney.

 

[adamantypants]

LOL

Good luck even paying for copyright with $200,000

Like many of us when we were kids we wanted to be like Luke skywalker or obi one kinobi, but like all of us, we do not live in a galaxy far far away. There might be another way though. With all the open world RPGs out there how is there not a good one for Star Wars? I have decided to take matters into my own hands and write a story in the star wars universe that will fit inside a RPG video game. I am currently looking into talking with Disney if I am able to do this. If not then there might have to be a compromise on the name or some other parts. I need your help. I am not a very good programmer, and I'm an even worst artist. I want to put this project into the hands of professionals, but in order to do that I need money to hire them. This was my dream as a kid I hope you can share my same compassion, thank you.

At least he's honest.

 

[robotrock]

No one has yet.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well through text, I guess

 

[GeoGonzo]

Uhhh, someone at Kickstarter approved this?

Seriously, this. Makes them look reaaaally bad.

 

[Anoregon]

This thread is the demons. I was excited. Then I actually looked at the kickstarter and now I am upset.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

This will either get C&D, get crushed under its own ambition or both. I see no way of this project making it through.

 

[sleepwalkcapsules]

Update 1: "Updated some of what the game will be about. Tried to create a mental image of how the game will look and feel. "


Ok.

It's most certainly a child.

 

[Ridley327]

Wow, this is that Penny Arcade comic come to life.

 

[thehillissilent]

It is too early for April Fools.

 

[maniac-kun]

Looks like someone made that Kickstarter in 10 min. Good luck with that.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

I "wonder what if would be like" all the time.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

But guys, it will have the graphics of Battlefront and the "feel" of Witcher 3!

Spoiler

Obvious joke/troll is obvious

 

[Sylas]

Guys I think you're all being really negative we should be thankful that Devin is looking out for us gamers and making the game we've all wanted for our entire lives

 

[Chase17]

Who is going to back this? There's no way they can make this game. Disney is the last company I'd try to get copyright infringement past.

 

[Markitron]

A Star Wars RPG set in one large environment would be fucking pointless.

Also: it's not gonna happen anyway, this guy needs to be sectioned if he thinks there's any chance.

 

[Angelus Errare]

lolwut?

 

[waitwhat42]

Wait can anybody really just put up a bullshit Kickstarter campaign and ask for money?

Does Kickstarter vet projects before people can pledge money to them?

 

[Xater]

Looks legit....

I can#t believe there are people that actually supported this.

 

[MrV4ltor]

And this is why children shouldn't be allowed access to the internet.

 

[Stiler]

Can't believe it's happening, hopefully it turns out well, in for the base game.

edit - I really got to read the articles before commenting....

Yeah, this thing is going to go places, writing a story? No acatual game developers? Doesn't even have permission from Disney nor from EA (who has the license for games).

This will get shut down asap.

 

[Black Pewter]

It will have the graphics of "Battlefront" or better with the feel of "The Witcher 3".

 

[BiggNife]

Can't believe a few people actually gave money to this.

Lots of people give money to kickstarters that will obviously fail as a joke because they won't get charged if it isn't successfully funded, which this one clearly won't be

There was one from a couple a years ago that I think was called LORE where the majority of the pitch was nonsensical ramblings and all of the screenshots were from sample models/environments that come with Unity and the guy got a few dozen backers who basically just backed to go into the comment section and yell at him
