I've been following Story of Many, this one looks hopeful. It's tough because of the industry and them being a new publisher. I wonder what games their team has played, where thier inspiration is from

Chronicles of drunagor or Odalin the new dragori game?? Help me out bro.

Back in the time. My Elder's eye were hit by Deathclaw

AD WICTORIAM

How would you compare the fun factor of the combat mechanics/tactics of this vs. Tanares?

Burying the lead only for it to be a "teaser" is pretty lame.

Hi there, thank you for covering Millennium Gate Legacy on your channel.

Did that Uwe guy just say the reason they havent delivered games is because theyre still making money on late pledges?

Uwe is just trash, straight up.

Came for the Necromancers, heard about a Necrohamster. Left feeling disappointed....

I backed shadow Tactics. This guy has been on it for a while, consistent with his updates. He is a rock star! AG is not a company I want to do business with anymore. As far as asking for someone to talk to him face to face, is he nuts? Does he not know how crazy people are now? I would be very careful about saying stuff like that. Too many nutjobs I would be worried about, but then again I am paranoid. Just saying!

I'm excited about Deep Regrets. Looks like a fun tongue-in-cheek kinda game. I'm always down with that.

I backed Deep Regrets, it is absolutely my taste. and the mechanics are fun (if not sure peeps, check their awesome explanation video, convinced me too!). necrohamster seems cool too

Hi. Regarding Shadow Tactics, I think I've suggested you in one of my comments almost a year ago to cover the progress of the game - through the monthly updates of the only guy from the original team (even the "lowest" ranking one) who took upon himself to deliver the game. The backers are 100% right being angry at the "original" company ("it was a little tough to deliver the game, so we quit, f**k the company, f**k the project and f**k you and from now on, we focus on our new job at XXX company..."), but they must appreciate what that Kruppa guy is doing alone.

I won’t even sift through Kickstarter anymore because half the boardgame category is 3D printed stuff. 3D printed stuff should have its own subcategory!

Is he semi-aggressive? At a convention, he said he wished he could punch all his critics like in high school (one guy talking to AG told us). The deathwish of one backer was too much. Still, there is a reason why people are getting angry (see six years delayed solo expansion from the Agents of Mayhem Solo) or the 800 days since the first assumed delivery date for Stellaris. Currently, there is no communicated timeline, deadline, or delivery date.

Hi there, designer of Sovereign: Fall of Wormwood here. Thank you so much for covering the game!

Being 2 years late and basically saying fuck you to people complaining about not getting the game in the timeline *you* promised. To have the gal to sit there all mighty. I don't even have skin in the game and am upset about that attitude. But I'm sure there's plenty of people still giving them money so why would they care about backers, or care about timelines, or care about your money.

"It's real art... digital, but still...." Wow, that's some art snobbery right there, crapping on people who use a digital canvas. I get what you're saying, that it's not AI and that's good, but you let a little prejudice slip through there, sir.

Marbles rolling games like the Flames of Fafnir are cool! On Gamefound I'm following an Egyptian themed Eurogame named Tameri which has a marbles rolling/shuffling pyramid. I hope it will launch soon.

Wow, had me at Cthulhu, and kept me for strategic horror fishing.

NO mythic games news

There's a fair few people upset in the Kemet campaign, as the compulsory big box is making shipping rather expensive. And there's only one pledge for returning players, so some are upset at being "forced" to purchase other modes when they only really want the 6p expansion. Oh, and the sleeves add-on doesn't cover the new material, only the existing boxes.

Would be interested in your take on USS Freedom. Company just bought IP. Will fulfill. Designer to make additional games with them. No Company announced?!? Could be great -> people get games. Could be bad… Thoughts?

Maybe 2025 will be the Year of Zombicide

Can you cover the fiasco of fulfillment for Dawn of Madness, it is....well...Madness.

Deep Regrets is a board game version of Dredge. Dredge is a fun little fishing game on steam that has some eldritch themes. If you have not played it, give it a try. Might have to check out Deep Regrets.

Highlighting indie games sounds like a great idea. I think basing it off funding % is moot if campaigns dont start using realistic funding goals.

Didn't end super well is an understatement! I don't even receive my core Epic Seven board game, you US people should be happy you got yours. My pledge paid for your shipping. 🤣

Can you do a video each month like a top ten indies games

For nemesis in particular, are we seeing it at the top of the lists because gamefound own the game? Awaken realms being able to push their games to the top of the advertising, seems like a big part of why they created gamefound?

What's up King! Are you backing DC Super Heroes United?

This “quimey’s” is smoke and mirrors. It’s a shell company for Sandy Peterson to just continue his bad business practices.

I guess Gamefound would appreciate the suggestion if you and some other reviewers would provide the input to show the top 10 indi games, because you and other reviewers are the truly experts on this. Mainly you, if you ask me, but you may share the burden of choosing what games to show with others.

kickstarter and gamefound get revenue based on a percentage of funds gained. we know that and that's why the things displayed and focused on are the way they are. the more money a campaign gains, the more money Kickstarter and Gamefound get. why would they want to do something different. I would rather have something that lets me tailor what I want to see in addition to what they do.

I'm tired of crowdfunding. and that's a good thing for my wallet.

I feel the problem is that we've been burned too many times by problems with companies. Usually higher fundings means more chances to just get your game, because lower fundings means taking a chance that they can just make the game. And you have Mythic Games that cant ship a game that got 6 millions in funding... One of my favorite games I got from crowdfunding is Arena : The contest. After years in crowdfunding if Arena was launched now I wouldnt have backed it just because its scary now to back unknown publishers... Crowdfunding is not what it used to be...

Lands of Evershade ... READ the updates Michael, they have been extensively explaining it including at least two long videos.

Light and darkness - almost in almost there category. Produced locally in Europe. Example of campaign not getting attention.

Sounds like a great idea for a new video series, where you promote "almost funded" campaigns to get more attention to this issue. If you are the media for crowdfunding you have the voice to get some of these lesser known projects that are worthwhile into the public eye.

Love your videos! Curious if you know anything about the acquisition of Lucky Duck Games by Goliath? LD is behind on fulfilling The Dark Quarter thru KS by like a year and a half. So curious to know what tumult is going on behind the scenes!

How do you feel about something like the Game Crafter? Is that almost more like the vibe Kickstarter used to have? Interested to hear your thoughts

totally agree. personally i happen to be more interested in smaller successful campaign. last big one was Grimcoven, but the boss battler part is just too weak to me to back it.

So we'll said. Games can be hit or miss, but they are always someone's dream

Great video and I agree with you on the crowdfunding platforms doing more to champion indie projects, rather than just a continuous promotion of zillion $ campaigns. I wasn’t going to back any games this year, but have chosen to back a few indie projects like Deep Regrets, Corps of Discovery & Rocket Ranchers from small companies/people who have cool games and I’m willing to invest in them.

If Gamefound highlights them and they don't deliver is Gamefound responsible?

I could see how the almost funded games would be helpful. But I'd prefer a "pick of the day" or "7 picks of the week" type of categories. It couldn't be automated, though. And I suppose it could be misconstrued as favoritism or even paid for advertising. I would hope that it wouldn't be. But also, my pick for the day may not be your pick of the day. But more than either of those, I'd love to see a passion project category where the creator has put his/her/their hearts and souls into it. Maybe this last category is more of a blog type than a top 10 list. A place where the creator talks about WHY they want the project to succeed rather than the WHAT of what's in it. The WHAT is for the campaign page. The WHY sometimes never gets heard unless it's spread out over multiple updates or whatever. Or even the master plan of, if we fund this part of the game, we plan on continuing it's story or world with these future things.

Red Joker proved to be a real disappointment. I suspect times being as they are, very little extra funds are floating around these days.

Some of these indies went really well Oathsworn Aoens trespass Aren the contest and then Tanaras Just to name a few

As someone who made a small indie game on Kickstarter with a single sku, the idea of a just funded or nearly funded list would have been huge. The campaign was buried on page four almost the whole campaign. We managed to raise 10k, produce 250 games in the US, and fulfilled within five months, but it was extremely hard to get any attention when the platform felt like an echo chamber for the most popular games.
