Other Games / Re: At the Gates - Rome wasn't built in a turn.

That's my issue. If they are a three person team, I would expect them to make at least $40,000 each for the year. That's $120,000 in funding. Then hiring the part-timers, etc. Kickstarter should actually make the projects show a budget. I just don't think that $40,000 is enough unless this is just a side project for all of them. I would say that they need $200,000, but I could be way off.

I'm just confused. They say that they only need $40,000 to finish it, yet they expect it to take a year. How can $40,000 fund a team for a year?

But I should also say that it looks like a game that I will play. Debating on the Kickstarter.

Personally, I didn't like 4. Loved 3000. So I'm hoping it's more like 3000. But I hated the small regions in four, so I'm going to assume that I am going to hate the small cities in this one. And 4 might be a lot better now. I played it when it first came out prior to the Rush Hour expansion.

But I will wait for the reviews and see if people like it. It could be a fun game. It might not be exactly what I want, but it could be fun. And that's what matters. If I want the game that I want, then I should learn how to program. And then I probably wouldn't get the game that I want anyway.

If these kickstarters that these game designers have dreamed up deliver, then we are in for a golden age of gaming. However, I just read an article on comic book kickstarters about how many of them haven't delivered the goods.

Other Games / Monster Rancher Type Games

Are there any recent Monster Rancher type games out there? I loved Monster Rancher, but it seems that it must have not sold well because there hasn't been a game like it in a long time.

Does anyone know if you can buy Sim City 3000 online. I didn't like Sim City 4. It sounds like I'm not going to buy the new Sim City due to the DRM, saves in the cloud, and always online. So I was wanting to play 3000, which I really enjoyed.

They should do what the movies do to the comic stories. Retell the beginning, tweak it, and make it fun.

General Discussion / Free Book Giveaway - Paint Chips
« on: January 24, 2013, 02:45:15 pm »
I usually hang out in the "other games" section, but I thought I would give away a free digital Kindle copy of my friend's recently published book. We went to college together. She actually married my wife's ex-boyfriend (small world). And she has just had her first book published. To celebrate, I will give away a free copy. Random number generator style. Just post on this thread that you want the book by midnight, Sunday, January 27. I will do the drawing some time on Monday.

Paint Chips by Susie Finkbeiner.

I was wondering if any of these features are currently in the game.

Take on Missions to attract interest in your Space Program. Or use the Mission Planner to create your own missions.
Manage your Space Program. Hire astronauts, train them, research and improve parts.
Build Space Stations, and surface bases on other worlds.

They are on the planned features. Do they keep that page updated?

I'm just wondering if KSP has moved into being a game rather than just a ship designer, launcher.

Really interested in it once it is developed a little more.
