Buck and Miles has been left behind but there's still 10 more days to get $62,826 USD (472800 SEK). TIGSource would have been all over this not too long ago. A new classic, friendly, high quality platformer, it was everyone's dream.

I almost mentioned that. It's really, really bad, but the rest of the game looks pretty great!

"Have we left it behind forever?"

Obviously not seeing how trendy and successful 8bit platformers are. Nintendo is literally still pumping out Mario games that beckon back to and improve upon "the good ol days". This game doesnt look bad but I dont think it looks or feels nostalgic at all especially for how forcefully they're trying to tug at the retro gamer's heartstrings.

I'm really over this "golden age of gaming" bullshit. Its generation relative. My golden age was the PS1 era.

Also they're pitching the game to sound and play as if snes games never stopped being made but doesn't look much like one aside from its jarring Mario "references". To be honest Shovel Knight already accomplished exactly that.

wat a hell? it looks exactly like an snes game and shovel knight doesnt copy snes games at all

but yeah, idk, it doesn't look that interesting. the only thing i like about it is that the music sounds like actual snes music rather than *le 8 bit chiptunes XD* that are in every "retro" game

I just launched the Kickstarter for Bandits and Bounties, the Spaghetti Western Action-RPG I've been working on for the past year+:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1144112254/bandits-and-bounties-spaghetti-western-action-rpg

(I also have a DevLog going: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=35512.0 )

My game Steel Assault just launched on Kickstarter two days ago! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/43113410/steel-assault



I feel like the Bandits and Bounties KS page might benefit greatly from a better logo and video. The page itself seems solid, but the video takes 20 seconds before there's any movement onscreen, and that's not good at all for modern ADHD viewers (a lot of people I know stop watching a video 10 to 15 seconds in if they haven't immediately been grabbed). I think the video could easily be trimmed down to 2 minutes or even a quick 1 minute pitch (especially because there's no "human element" to the video), I might not have watched the entire thing if I didn't already know who you were and what this game is.

The logo picture might also benefit from being overlaid over a background (like a Monument Valley-esque view made in pixel/vector art), rather than just a brown billboard thing. Maybe a wanted poster? Changing the description to name-drop an inspiration (e.g. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) might help as well.

Thanks for the advice.  I've put up a new title image, but I'm probably going to keep working on it.  I'll probably try to cut a quicker trailer soon.

And, of course, good luck on your own Kickstarter!

Also, I already namedrop influences in the large description.  In the small description, there isn't enough room (man, Spaghetti Westerns had long titles)
