| Slimebeast said: I just saw that Double Fine launched a new KS campaign for a strategy game. There was no gameplay or concept design or anything, only a bunch of people acting and trying to be hip and funny in a professionally made video. All is based on their reputation and promises, no evidence. And what also worries me is that most people in all Double Fine videos seem to be older than 40. Honestly, how many people are hungry, creative and passionate at that age, rather than being comfortable and content with the life they already have? It just makes me doubt projects even more when the majority of the development team is old. They ask us to invest based only on past merits, a vague vision and a nice looking video. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doublefine/double-fines-massive-chalice/?ref=kicktraq |
That is pretty fucking ageist dude, not cool. I have met a lot of passionate motivated people over the age of 40, hell 40 isn't really that old. The double fine crew are a diverse bunch anyway.
And the video did contain concept design, plus the page also has these things called words, which explain the concept and basic design princaples. They don't have a working prototype (or at least not one ready to be shown yet) and if you are uncomfortable backing a project that is still in such an early stage of development that is fine but kickstarters don't have to be for half finished projects.
