    Eco It's an amazing game focused on a community interaction (with other real people) to overcome a common goal while avoiding ruining the game world.

    Maybe not today but tomorrow? Add me anyway if you want, The_Luna ingame

    Nope, and never. I am in the web development industry so that would require me to quit my job and change literally 99% of what I do. Doubt it would even be me after that. Also, your info is already out there, and it's not going to be easy to drop off. Even just by being on this forum, you're feeding some of your info to Google and by extension, forum owners. It's claimed to be unidentifiable, but some info is still recorded. It is going to take a lot of effort to truly drop off, and then then, what's the real point? You lose out on a lot nowadays, and potentially put yourself in more risk by not getting critical information in time.

    Steam and HB do take a cut. But it's a cost that comes after you sold a copy, not before. Unless they based their price point on some magical guesswork, they know what they're getting. As for the rest of the message.. Yeah, until I see the sources for all those claims, I'm gonna ignore it. Show me at least estimated production costs, celebrity commissions, some financial data and then we can clearly see whether it's a flop. Right now, all the data I got points me to that they're doing alright, so I guess thank you for making me dig that up.

    You're missing that they didn't exactly had to give that budget back to anyone. The copies were sold for money. People didn't give them money as charity, or investment, they got something they valued in return.They are not obliged to spend it all on production, and part of any crowdfunding budget goes to fulfill the backers' rewards. What they are obliged to do is to deliver on the campaign promises, and refund people if they have a problem (and even that is not that straightforward). Distribution costs of the game are basically free, so they made quite a lot just selling copies and perks that would mostly use a few hours of teams' time, not their financial resources. If they didn't go over the budget, they already made it back. If they did go over their budget (which might as well be the case), I want to know exact numbers before knowing how much they made and how commercially successful it was. If they spent twice the budget, then your comments are on-point, if less than 50%, they're in black already.

    I don't see how campaign doesn't add up to to the budget calculations. Copies were sold, not given away for free. Money were flowing from users to the studio, so it must be taken in consideration. I don't know their actual finances, and until they release some official statement regarding that, or their budget numbers, all this is just a speculation based on the limited info we have.

    It had budget, and we got a game. Project is a success as far as I'm concerned. You might be forgetting that 2/3 of projects don't even make it that far. Market-wise, an early launch went quite well in my opinion. Very few games even reach those sales, and in current Steam conditions, that's a pretty good place to be in. If they play their cards right, it might rise to the top when it gets an official release. Also, your estimates are off by a factor of 10. They made around 300k at the current state + what money they got from the campaign. Might not cover everything but not "nothing".

    You seem to be awfully cheery about this. It sold reasonably well, at around 30k owners as reported on SteamSpy, even if we subtract the 10k free copies, that's still going to be around 20k sold. Because of the regional prices and sales on other platforms we can't straight up say how much it really made, but that's not all that bad. And, at one point in time it was #3 trending game in early access. Undertale comparison is ludicrous. It's fun to do I guess, but not every game can be a unicorn like that. There are AAA titles that did _much_ worse than that (in terms of sold units). So the factual reality is that the game exists, it's fun to play for me and even if it doesn't account to much in terms of sales, it continue to exist and bring joy to this world.

    all the time. It might not always be phone call, it an be a wassup or skype call, but in many situations texting is just WAY too clunky and slow
  10. LunarWave
    Jebus... for $400 you can make a tabletop model of a city in those games, and play in IRL
  11. LunarWave
    A few days? You're pretty lucky, I haven't had any in what feels like years. Do you wake up from an alarm clock or by yourself? Maybe you're just too tired?
  12. LunarWave
    Havent seen any so far.
  13. LunarWave
    I'm utterly horrible to the point where only easier of AIs gives in to me XD I also mostly play those, Velvet has really amazing facial expressions. Oh, and I broke my gamepad's rubbers from hour of play, now I have to get new ones
  14. LunarWave
    Awesome! I got the game within an hour going live. If someone wants to play with a total newb in fightnig games, I'm up for it
  15. LunarWave
    Except it already dominates the market On positive note - I just got the game, and it feels pretty awesome to me. The animations are really sublime as well as audio track. Sometime I hear Twi in Arizona though, and get a little kick from it
  16. LunarWave

    Just got Them's Fightin' Herds.

    Never played fighting games, and im sucking so much right now, even though im having a kick from all the pretty colors and amazing animations and sounds :P

  17. LunarWave
    Sunburst is really sweet and adorkable, in many ways.
  18. LunarWave
    Nope. Live in North-West of Russia, heater in much more essential for us here. Though in summer, there are usually a couple of weeks you might need it, when it goes to 30 or above. Most people don't have neither though, centralized heating is still how most people get it.

    As long as it's not turning into torture, and I like the person, sure! I love touching.
  20. LunarWave
    Basically, almost every game. I hate hype and in my eyes, if something is hyped up, it's in 99% of cases not worth it until -70% or below sale. The only exception to this was Star Wolves: Civil War. I watched the development very closely, chatted with devs (all of whom were even bigger fans of the original game), and that was before early access and Kickstarter were even a thing.
  21. LunarWave
    Yeah, I was off for quite a while, a couple of years I think. I was pretty depressed at the time an didn't really feel I was getting anything here. Mostly it was just bumming me out even more, that I missed something or didnt check it or whatnot. So I just stopped coming and forgot about it.
  22. LunarWave
    I'm not sure I feel like an adult yet. I mean, I earn a decent living, rent a flat, got to pay all the bills and all that jazz normally associated withe being all gwown oop, but that's all superficial crap. I feel more like kindergarten kid that got bigger toys to play with
  23. LunarWave
    "Like, whatever, dude. Just chill and you'll see the way"
  24. LunarWave
    I don't think it might change all that much. Yeah, it's freaking awesome and made my life better, but just a show in the end. Who knows, maybe G5 won't be atrocious. Or maybe it will be rly good. Either way, I don't see the ride stopping for quite a few years, and by then, I will probably be an entire different person.
  25. LunarWave
    Thanks for doing this effort, neat to know. Unfortunately things like that happen, especially for fan sites that don't strictly have any money in it.
