    Mighty No. 9 is out after three years of waiting. The fans got what they expected... but not at all what they wanted.
    Time for a post-mortem then. Let's dissect this corpse and poke at the gooey bits inside.
    (Also thanks to James for providing some of the MN9 footage!)

    For a little over 50k Toby Fox made Undertale. For 300k Yacht Club Games made Shovel Knight, plus three extra campaigns and modes to come for free as DLC. And for 4 million Comcept made shit. And has the fucking nerve to charge for its crappy DLC.

      And for NOTHING (as far as crowdfunding goes), ConcernedApe made Stardew Valley.

      Also Size Five games made The Swindle with no Kickstarter funding, and that game is amazingly fun.

      And Dodgeroll (studio) made Enter the Gungeon with their own money.

    • @Whitecroc
      @Whitecroc 8 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Comcept consists of AAA devs, though. Undertale was made while Toby was studying at college and did not have high quality requirements for most of its parts. Shovel Knight ran out of money and the devs spent something like six months in crunch.
      All that said, MN9 sounds like it was badly mismanaged. Was it 10 simultaneous platform releases? Madness for such a small studio. Did online coop make it in? Another huge headache. Net code requires a lot of effort to figure out. Doing it with little hassle probably requires an expensive programmer, and skimping on talent in this area usually ends up being very expensive in terms of delays and knock-on effects from what I understand.

      Except it isn't the 90's anymore and the game tones are completely different. You have a high profile shooter that was in development hell, that made big promises, and turned out to be an ultimately disappointing wreck. With Mighty No. 9, you have a high profile crowd funded game that was in constant delay, that made big promises, and turned out to be an ultimately disappointing wreck.

Even if you agree with her views, a community manager is supposed to create harmony between the community and the developers, not hostility. I remember she even told backers to not buy the game when it came out, she's terrible at her job.

    Weird that you didn't bring up *Skullgirls* when talking about indie games that used crowdfunding...
    1) It's an indie title that was made by a team of 10 or 12, it wasn't a solo effort.
    2) It got into a crowdfunding campaign (Indiegogo) to expand the roster and get better versions
    3) It took the time it needed to release the next characters
    4) They ported the game to multiple platforms
    5) They had issues with publishers... including Konami...
    6) On Steam, they asked the people' help using betas to balance the characters
    IMO, that's how an indie team should handle crownfunding stuff...

      Well the big difference between Mighty No. 9 and Yooka Laylee is that people are satisfied with YL. Sure, the game could have been better obviously, but people still enjoyed it enough and it did feel like a spiritual successor. I'm just hoping the team, if they do a sequel, learn from their mistakes and build upon things. Maybe smaller levels, but more of them with better focus and better controls for the transformation stuff.

      I mean... the thing is, it already has hurt them. People are going to remember this one for quite a while every time they hear the word "kickstarter", and they're going to hesitate to put money down. Even if they end up doing it it's going to add a whole lot of anxiety and paranoia to the mix that isn't going to help anyone. But I think we all knew that was going to happen with the age of crowdfunding still in its infancy, and tbh having a little paranoia to spare is probably going to be a good thing in the long run.

So since I was not going to buy an all new system for one game they were respectful and showed great customer service and refunded me.

      +Angry Nerd Bird - "It weirds me out that people say Yooka Laylee was a screw-up, when that game is EXACTLY what was promised" - I'd argue that's a very subjective statement, though; the recent release of Dead Cells shows how you can have a game be a return to nostalgic formula and yet make allowances for modern innovations or developments.
      What was promised with Yooka-Laylee was a spiritual successor. But what nobody expected was for that game to effectively be a step backwards into an older style rather then a *continuation* of the series' legacy.

He/she did some things that elicited certain emotions from my person, that made me react in a certain way that may, or may not align with that of the rest of the viewing audience.

That's the kind of display of confidence and transparency that causes me not to be worried about any of those projects, despite having immersed myself in the _Mighty No. 9_ debacle over the past week.

    Well - kickstarter is exacly that - you put not your money, but your reputation on the line. If you create a bad game for your or your publisher's money - you still can get a second chance. If you so spectaculary fail a kickstarter succsess - it's almost impossible to get you reputation back from that. Espesially not with "it's better then nothing" attitude.

    I feel sorry for all the Mega Man fans who were let down by this, I have a friend I remember being so excited about it when it got announced, it sucks that it turned out this way. I was never really interested in Mighty No.9, never played a Mega Man game, I have backed Bloodstained though and stuff like this about Kickstarter projects does come off as worrisome! I played the Backer Demo though the other day and enjoyed what was there, so I'm still pretty optimistic!

    Jim you didn't also mention the scandal a few years ago when Comcept hired a community manager who is her own words "had never played Mega Man and wasn't really a fan". Then people found out she got the job purely because she was dating one of the higher ups. then when people started to criticize MN9 on the fan forums she deleted those posts as the community manager and never reported the criticism to her superiors. The she was promoted to an extra artist and started pitching concept art with self insert art of herself into the game. People were pissed.

      The 'only got a job because she was dating someone' was admitted to be untrue and retracted (the internet detective admitted he couldn't even find evidence she was dating either), EncyclopediaDramatica keeps it up for the lulz though. The alleged mass bannings were not Dina's choice alone (they had to be approved by someone else), they had to be approved by others. And she left in 2015.
