Backer #627

I like the direction this thread is taking. Admit to a problem but then don't take steps to amend it.

I will admit to part of the thread title, but I do not feel bad about it.

Right now, I really just want to be able to fill out the kickstarter survey so that I can go into hibernation and forget about Fractured until Alpha. I don't have the fortitude to stay active throughout such long pre-release development cycles.

what planet?

My understanding is that Alpha 1 will only include Syndesia.

Star Citizen

And you get the “omg the Devs haven’t make a single KS update since the campaign ended. They must have stole out money and ran... i knew they were going to do that.”

It is possible for the devs to focus on development and provide updates to the community occasionally without actively promoting it to new players for more paying backers.

@chrightt said in Going Worldwide - Regional Servers & Localization:

I really have to point out not everything must go according to "community feedback" because honestly, I've probably seen more crap ideas from community feedback than good ones. If games get swayed by the community too much, it gives the community a sense that anything they want will happen and they themselves often fail to realize the "negatives" in their own decision. Please don't fall into the pit hole that is the devs coming up with new and good ideas to surprise the community rather than the community itself dictating how a game should be made (Both sides of the spectrum are too extreme! -not listening to community at all or altering the game solely based on community feedback).

That can be a good point, but I think in this case they did do their due diligence before deciding. The announcement says that they performed their own tests and talked with Improbable as well as publishers.

Besides, giving the caveat that servers will emerge as needed without giving metrics upon how that will be decided gives them a lot of leeway in how the server issue is handled.

I am a huge Star Citizen fanboy.

but why wouldn't you want new cash coming in? the 100k from KS isn't enough for them. at 2 years till launch that's only 50k per year; minus KS fee's and taxes (if any for IT business. in america you're taxed on those backer rewards too).

I'm sorry but you need new clients, those also tell their friends, and maintain development progress and updates to KS/CF (crowdfund) backers. You need all three.

Because:

Dynamight Studios is a financially stable company. Careful business planning, coupled with backing from the three founders and private investors, make us feel safe about the future of the project. Moreover, we already have open channels with a few large game publishers that have shown interest in Fractured.

If they were dependent upon crowdfunding to stay afloat, there is no way I would have supported the project with such a low goal.

Democracy & Elections usually don't exist in MMOs for a reason.

Hopefully it works out for the best here.
