What happens with all that extra money they get from kickstarter if they only needed $100,000? Even if they go over their original budget that's a whole lot more than what they were asking for.
 
To celebrate the forthcoming Humble Bundle, I'm going to dump the duplicates from the last one.

They used Kickstarter to fund new features for the game, the extra money also goes there (stretch goals)

IIRC polish and some additional features that they'd like to implement.

It's not like they're going to burn the money or anything. Harebrained Schemes is anything but.

Well, several things:
1) They expand the scope, there are "stretch goals" which define how the money will be invested. So the product you'll get will be presumably bigger and better than it otherwise might have been
2) They have more money to make games going forward, which I guess you can look at as an investment in company stability.
3) It's actually not a bad thing if someone KSes something for $50 and makes $50,000, as long as backers get the thing they paid for. Like, if I'm backing something for $10, what everyone else gets should be pretty insignificant to me, it should be about whether I get my $10 worth. Like, KS is as much a pre-order as it is a funding mechanism. We don't expect that a non-KS game that is extremely profitable rather than just break-even to tell us what they did with the profit, we typically just allow them to take the profit because as far as we're individually concerned, we got what we paid for.

I'm willing to bet money there won't be any extra, in fact that Kickstarter money (most likely) won't even cover the remaining development cost even though they already have the engine up and running etc.

Regardless, you are allowed to make profit with your Kickstarter and you are allowed to treat is as a way to mitigate putting your own/company money into development. On the board gaming side, Kickstarter is used as a store front more often than as an actual Kickstarting platform. And Kickstarter doesn't mind, they get a slice out of every successfully funded project.
 
NOVA HOT!

It's a turn based game, Xcom proved that controller functionality is totally doable for the genre and they've already made ios touch versions of the last 2 games so it's not like they haven't done some work before to accommodate for other control methods. bah.
 
Really enjoying Grow Home. I don't think the art direction is quite as refined as a lot of other low poly flat shaded work but I guess that's a trade off when you allow the player to procedurally modify the landscape.

It's nice to just play something whimsy and reminiscent Mario. I think the controls are a bit bizarre but it's just nice to play something a bit different.

Lost Planet 3's a nice 3rd person shooter, nothing amazing but its story characters and voice acting really make the game for me. Strongly recommend giving it a chance.

Yeah I actually really enjoyed what I played of it. Only huge issue I had with the game was it's load times, but I was playing on PS3 so I doubt the PC version has that issue if you have a halfway decent harddrive.

Unfortunately, controllers are not nova hot.

I'm already loaded on capcom-produced 3rd person action games between Bionic Commando and Dark Void but i've been considering picking up LP3 once i finish up those two. Everyone talking about how it actually has a decent narrative and that it plays alright has had me interested in it for a while.

Thinking about getting LP3. I'm guessing that none of the DLC is really worth it? Looks like it's all MP centric.

yUP you don't need the DLC $10 or less is a good price for he game.
Play on Easy and just enjoy the story.

Completed RE Remake with knife only, with Jill, on True Survival, no achievement. I only used the Rocket Launcher in the end against the ending boss (he also launched away a rocket the first time, lol), no tactical items or head stomping used.
But.
I used the lighter to grab the map and to access the J-Volt door, it can be that invalidated my play? If so, is really a bullshit.

You can't use any weapons at all(other than the knife) throughout the playthrough.
Don't save anybody and Tyrant won't show up at the helipad.
 
Getting round to counting the votes and...

At least it wasn't Dark Souls 2.

you used a rocket launcher and aren't sure why the 'knife only' achievement didn't show up?

not sure if serious....
 
good to see the voting coming along. I wish i could make changes on my list:
Shovel Knight needs to be there but i hadn't played it when i voted. It really deserves the same treatment that MGSGZ got from Steamgaf favorite, Javier23
