'Tis good to hear you're on board. I didn't speculate because it didn't sound like they had any real plans other than "give us money and we'll pay someone to figure it all out later" (VGS style).
Yeah I was telling Ark that last night when he told me he was onboard. Had they held this thing proper, with something more to show then just tiny 3DS clips and mock shots, showing specific teams of developers are on board ready to do each individual version, then they would have gotten more backers.
As is it is still just backing an idea of a game, not an actual product yet, and that does not go over well these days. Too many kickstarters have failed hard due to this kind of vague promise style marketing. I'm not big on the whole pre-order mess either, but if Ark puts out a game for this, and it is some kind of action game, I will buy one. Unless I die sometime between now and spring 2017 anyway.
As is, I liked the idea, but it was just that currently, an idea. None of the guys listed on the kickstarter had any experience with PCE, and mostly were Euro guys. I dont want to trust my money with euro people who mostly built their career on stuff like the Amiga or C64 or later at Nintendo, because their style on how they do their games tends to be something I dont enjoy much. Ark's version will probably be the only really worthwhile thing to come out of this I feel like. I just have a gut feeling the the other games are going to be copy/paste Power Rangers Metal Slug: The Game.
