overly optimistic goal imo

[Kloot]

It's funny because 0AD has a dozen active developers and yet they still feel the need to clamor for money ($160K no less) to finish their game/engine.

Maybe we should start a campaign for 10 million.

Flexible Funding

This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its goal. Funding duration: September 04, 2013 - October 20, 2013 (11:59pm PT).

[gajop]

oh you can do that? cool

[scifi]

well they are also developing a game, not just an engine, im ok with supporting 0 AD.

I mean i think they could have done this sooner as well, most of the core features have been implemented for some time.

And to be honest the amount of people that still play age of empires II and even on age of empires online show that theres a huge playerbase wanting for a game like this.

age of empires II on garena 20 thousand, 2k on vlooby and over 11k on steam at peak hours.

Plus the problem with spring atm, is you would be getting money for an engine not a game, and by that i dunno if it works as well as asking money for a game(no criticism intended).

Zero-K could kickstart- but they unlearnt to dream big some years ago.

It would be cool though too have devs payed for there hard work. Kloot, Jk, Abma, im looking at you

tbh it has to have a game involved

, nah man, i just said its hard to put an engine on kickstarter and i will end this part there, it has to have a game made for said engine on it like what 0 AD is doing.

[gajop]

Hm, I thought my emphasis was obvious, let's try again!

We already have games, good, working, games, even better than 0ad imo.

0K Firstly need new unbroken engine of Spring (Linux gamers cant play with 91) and nice HD trailer.

Never said the oposite, im all for a Zero-k kickstarter if someone wants to do it.

Now for a spring kickstarter i just feel it has to have a goal in mind more than just making an engine(im just saying my opinion and experience i had on some of these things).

Maybe it can be pulled off if ultimatly it improves the games that are run on the engine sure.

About 0AD you cant compare the type of game and the type of player, besides the potencial playerbase for a new age game is huge.

Not saying spring cant get those numbers but its a whole different discussion.

game + engine

I just meant that as an added plus, they are making 2 things a game and also an engine for the mod community to use, i didnt had any opinion on it, its just nice to have the ability for people to make theyr own mods/games out of it, like spring basicly.

Not even remotely true. Projects don't even need to be 'gaming' related.

that looks great but the game doesn't look that way. it seems like you guys are doing a LOT of post processing in your video editor. If I saw this video and downloaded spring. I would be PISSED

[luckywaldo7]

The video does look good, and the music choice is excellent, but it doesn't comply with Indiegogo's terms of use:

This is why ZK and BAR want away from TA-infringement. It has nothing to do with an unreasonable fear of being sued, it just closes doors to you.

I cant force players of game to dont make fan-videos like this.

that looks great but the game doesn't look that way...

which part?
