Re: Games Discussion Thread
Nick Bruty, the creator of 'MDK' and 'Giants Citizen Kabuto' has just launched his kickstarter for his new game project "First Wonder". He was also a lead member of the design team behind Earthworm Jim, Sacrifice, and Armed and Dangerous. Giants Citizen Kabuto remains one of my favourite games of all time, and this is essentially a spiritual successor to it.
Unfortunately the pitch video itself... is pretty atrocious, to be honest. Probably the least hype building attempt at marketing I've seen in a long time. <_>;
So instead, here's a short older video for a better first impression of the game being worked on itself,

I'm not wrong about the video am I? But if it doesn't get funded, no one gets charged, so it's worth a shot. I'm not sure there's much I can say here to sell the project myself, and they clearly aren't hot shot marketers themselves, so this is probably going to have to be a simple case of whether or not you have fond memories of the older games, and are willing to give these old fashioned derps a chance. I'm getting the word out, because with marketing like that, they're gonna need every nostalgic fan they can muster.
If you're not a nostalgic fan, then the best I can do is plug old Giants:CK.

Total Biscuit had good things to say about it too.
