Forum Overview :: Wall Street Kid :: KS for video games seems mostly dead

[quote name="skip"]Nobody even gave a shit when Massive Chalice came out and was a dull 7/10 game. If you look at the gaming section of KS, most of those projects are going unfunded or have incredibly low goals. Obsidian or maybe Tell Tale could get another 6 figures maybe, but the time of default thousands of dollars for any retarded or half-baked idea is gone. At least we still have board gaming, where KS is even more of an obvious preorder system but hasn't had the failures of Broken Age or Yogventures to be deserted. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maxtemkin/secret-hitler?ref=category_recommended [quote]Secret Hitler is designed by Max Temkin (Cards Against Humanity, Humans vs. Zombies) Mike Boxleiter (Solipskier, TouchTone), Tommy Maranges (Philosophy Bro).[/quote] Fan-fucking-tastic. Of course, it's already blown past its funding goal. Of course it's a fashionable hidden role game which are more fun in theory than reality. Well, what did the geniuses behind CAH, a flash game, and Philosophy Bro add? [quote]Secret Hitler introduces new mechanics to the hidden-identity game genre. The first is the element of randomness. ............ The second new mechanic is the “Hitler” identity: [/quote] They didn't think there was enough randomness in games like Avalon or Werewolf? Also, comes recommended by the Exploding Kittens guy if you're on the fence.[/quote]
