The downfall of Super Retro Squad is actually so common in software development that it has its own name: scope creep. Whether you have really needy clients or just an overexcited team, it will inevitably spiral out of control until someone puts their foot down. If you ever want to actually finish something, you need to make an ironclad plan and don’t budge. If you have a cool idea for something to add, that’s great. Write it down and then forget about it until you’ve actually finished the original vision.
It's the same thing with artists. You always think of how your work COULD be better but if you keep trying to scratch that itch, you'll just keep moving the goal posts. It's also why you make training sketches on your spare time. If you have a specific goal in mind, there's a point where you gotta call it finished even though you know it could be improved, because everything always could be improved in one way or another. And that's why artists will never be satisfied with their work! :D
@@SsnakeBite that's so like me with my music. Always juggling around song lists, adding and refining songs, etc. Except, that I have never actually promised anyone an album nor asked for any money for it. If I did... I would feel obliged to set specific goals, absolutely. And I've done that, actually now I think of it! Did a short course on production once. My Dad always said I didn't pick my best song for it. But I knew I didn't. I picked one I thought I could do and stuck with it. I wasn't very satisfied with the end result, but I wouldn't have even finished at all if I'd've changed my mind.
Yandere Simulator comes to mind as well. Pair that with a less than reputable developer in Yandere Dev (though to be fair, he's been behaving lately) and you got a game that had in recent years, only got done with the first 'rival' of the game, with only 6 more to go.
Super Retro squad? Oh shoot. That actually does sound cool just from the quality of Super Mario Bros crossover. It sounds like a shame the scope creep kept it from being finished.
See, this is the sort of thing they taught me while I’m studying to be an audio engineer. We’re doing major projects, and even before we started, it’s always been “keep this manageable”. Heck, the game students are more organised than we are (understandble though). It’s all about knowing your capabilities, and if your talking big, back it up, but not too much
Maybe it's just me but I always thought these "You can do anything" MMOs just sound tedious and boring, even if the developers _could_ make the game exactly like they promised.
ever played swg . when it lauched you could do that in the universe be who you wanted to be , however i think people have got too used to having thier hand held
I just love how they promise to stimulate literally everything 'Driving, factory, logicistics, the cops and crooks, the mayor, even every single organ in the human body' At what point do people realize you could just go outside and do any of that stuff. I kinda want to make a fake trailer of a game like that with the punch line being that it's called 'Touch Grass'
Honestly, to me it sounds like they looked at the Sims and thought it wasn't in depth enough, and then ran right off the cliff by trying to add too much depth
Same. The whole reason I play games is to get a break from the tedium of real life, so whenever a game promises to emulate "everything" from real life to such exacting standards, I lose interest - why would I want to waste my precious little free time playing a game that simulates the exact same thing that I just spent most of my time living? I want to shoot space dragons in the eyeballs with laser guns or explore a gigantic fantasy world armed with a magic sword, not earn virtual currency working at a digital store for hours just to afford a new outfit...
the idea will never, ever work, you are never going to get three thousand people willing to log onto a game and do mundane daily work just so one person can go off and have the actual fun.
"do your research before spending your money frivolously" says the guy who skirted the law and squatted in a condo, ruining someone's well researched investment

Fair play to the Altered Beast project that tried to get the rights, and ultimately shutdown without taking any money...at least if I heard that part correctly...
Yes, that was more total failure than a scam. Probably good intentions, but no realistic way of making the game happen. If he could have gotten the game off the ground, Sega probably would have intervened at some point. Of course I guess had all the stars aligned and it actually looked promising, maybe Sega would have made a deal similar to Sonic Mania. The probably looked at this project and figured rather than risking bad PR by squashing a "fan game," they could ignore it and let it suffer a natural death for the same results.
@@damienthonk1506 Except, this time the guy was making it a commercial project. at that point they would have intervened. (of course, based on what's said on the video, he planned to actually get permission from them, which would have prevented the issue altogether).
To be fair the Altered Beast guy had a plan, a mission and something to show for it. Even if making it a funded project is admittedly a bit of a pipe dream, I at least respect that he wasn’t just trying to scam people out of money and was genuinely trying to make something.
We just live in an era where the bar has fallen so low that grown adults think it's sensible to seek funding for a project where you don't have the rights to the property. He'd be fine *_if he hadn't gone begging for money..._* but he did.
No he didn't. He never managed to get Sega's permission to use the IP, assuming he got funded it would inevitably lead to a cease and desist. Reminds me of when Steam Greenlight was a thing and a game popped up that was a Zelda strategy game, it wasn't from Nintendo but for some guys that thought they could just use the Zelda IP without official permission. Obviously that project also got nowhere. (They actually got CnD'd)
@@Xfushion2 I assume he would have not tried to do it before getting Sega's permission, which he was trying to. Of course his mistake was to not obtain permission before launching the campaign, which might have been a factor in convincing people to not back it.
That raw project was laughable. Even if they achieved this dream game, it sounds so unfun. Like “wow can’t wait to get home from work to pay off my fictional mortgage”. Every server would either die or devolve into anarchy in like under 3 hours.
Yeah, isn’t that kind of missing the point of video games? People play games for many reasons - to have fun, to achieve, to be with others, to explore vast worlds, to experience powerful stories, to learn, etc; we play to escape all the BS the real world piles on us, not to recreate them!
@@KnakuanaRka even if we look at the actual life sim games, one of the core appealing facets of them is the control. You are the one who runs everything in sims or city skylines, you control your community in animal crossing. Making a game where you have to work a wagecuck job is the antithesis of what makes these games both good and appealing.
@@frogmouth2 Yeah, I was thinking of other life sims like those and trying to figure out the difference; thanks for expressing it so well. We don’t come home from a 9-5 to work a 9-5, after all! xD
That whole confederate express thing could have actually turned out well if the two brothers were more interested in making games than scamming people. The game doesn't look bad for a first (or was it second) try. Heck, if they'd finished the game to the best of their ability, their second game (or was it first) would have probably been more successful since people would have known they were for real.
@@Jolis_Parsec At the very least they released *a* game, that's more than most Kickscammers can say (tho they made it sound like someone else made the game at 25:25)
The Confederate Express/Knuckle Club situation reminded me of the whole Digital Homicide/Romine brothers situation where you had 2 brothers much like in the whole CE/KC situation not really caring about putting out a good product but in this one just crapping out game after game EVERY 6 DAYS (it was found out that their "games" were simply Unity Store asset flips which is HIGHLY frowned upon in the gaming community) which is ABSURDLY SHORT for a game to get developed in. It was LITERALLY LIKE changing the camera angle and boom, new game to those 2 and they took Jim Sterling to court (OR at least attempted to with I think a cool $15M lawsuit) but Jim obviously had every right to expose the Romine brothers fot the talentless hacks that they were and they had to give up. That happened back when he HAD credibility but now he is not much better than the hacks at any of these gaming urinalism outlets as he ATTACKED the Soulsborne community and demanded that Elden Ring get an easy mode. The whole CE/KC situation is that situation on a WAY millder scale but not any less shady. At least the pair behind CE and KC had SERIOUS potential UNLIKE the Romine brothers. I mean they were ACTUALLY TRYING and not putting out asset flip after asset flip after asset flip. At least you could give the CE/KC duo that.
I actually backed Super Retro Squad. To give them credit, they gave my a refund - but mainly because i very openly critizised them. It wasnt a scam - but Jay Pavlina acted pretty arrogamtly and nonchalantly all the way through - and blamed his teammates. Otherwise, Slope captured the process pretty good. And now all Jays contactinfo for the developmental team (exploding rabbit) - is a ghosttown.
I never heard of Raw prior to watching this video, but yeah, I wouldn't have believed for an instant that they'd ever have been able to make a game like that into a reality.
Props to Sega for making such a professional and non-demeaning letter to that guy. More companies should be more appreciative of their fans (cough) Nintendo with Metroid (cough) Capcom with MM Legends (cough cough cough)
@@Aevilbeast Yeah, it could be a double-edged sword. Sure, Sonic Mania did very well, but in doing so, it kinda reflected poorly on Sonic Team when their game, Sonic Forces, didn't do as well. If you have fans making official games that outshines the actual developers themselves, it made the company look bad, even if that was not the intention on their part. Secondly, as Dex Dexter above stated, there is a reason companies don't let people run amok with IPs. There would be no way for companies to assure that fans are handling their games properly and should some subpar, or downright terrible games of a franchise was released with the company's blessing, it would again reflect poorly on them. Yes, it sucks that companies like Nintendo are very draconian with their copyright laws, but at the end of the day, business is business.
Even if Raw could actually be made, it sounds fucking miserable. Clearly when I play a video game I do it to register paperwork and all that other boring real life shit. When you're playing out real life to the absolute letter, you might as well do this shit in actual real life so you can at least get some real money.
I'm pretty sure the mythical "You Can Do Anything" MMOs mostly just appeal to griefers. They don't imagine themselves playing those boring roles, they imagine themselves shooting the people playing boring roles.
Nintendo can't sort out the drift on the joycon, its a design problem because they were so obsessed with making the thing so slim. The only way to fix it is to make the joycons thicker to allow the room for proper potentiometers or even better, hall sensors. Nothing can fix the open track siders the current sticks use, they are a flawed design. Deeper joycons would be better in every way, in handheld mode the switch is horrifically un ergonomic and nasty to use. So many bigger aftermarket joycons have come out that fix both issues yet Nintendo have stuck with the terrible design!
@@OmarAlikaj ive had my eye on the hori controllers for a while, they are exactly what the Nintendo joycons should have been. forgetting the terrible Analogue sticks in the Nintendo joycon, the form factor of the hori controllers is an order of magnitude better!
Glad I'm not the only one who experiences mild cramping on the Switch whenever I play one for a few hours. 😅 And the little joycons are... eh. Gimme a classic controller any day, bruh.
Guys, I'm kickstarting a Battlefield-style game that is completely realistic. For every combat role there will be 10 support roles to manage maintenance, logistics, paperwork, etc. There will also be the most advanced sleep and bathroom simulators ever created, not to mention PTSD simulation, divorce & child-custody case simulations, and a midlife crisis endgame.
The altered beast guy didn't seem to have any ill intent, kudos to him for trying at least, that's doing alot more then most of us who want to see our favorite games from the past to see some sort of a revival
in regards to Raw: when you showed the trailer i was thinking "wait, that looks like modded GTAV" and sure enough...the audacity on display is off the charts.
There's a reason Simulation games are usually about doing one thing. Like if Farm Sim was also a Bus Sim and a Shop Sim it would be difficult to make. But then you add everyone working the job is are real person and it all falls apart.
Kudos for Slope where during the "Super Retro Squad" section, after describing the whole Crossover game, quickly putting up a clip of the BGM used in Nintendo's official Retro Mashup (where crazy challenges like playing characters from other games in each other's game happened, "NES Remix" series for tWii U and 3DS. It was a nice subtle nod almost saying "yeah, there's kind of an official version of that idea now available, too."
You might want to look at "Jay & Silent Bob's Chronic Blunt Punch". It's been years since that game should of come out. The folks made a 2nd game instead of just sticking to this one. Still nothing. (Nes Manga)
It blows my mind that in the 1980's, teams of one or two developers who were simply dipping their toes into the world of game programming with their ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64 out of their bedroom or garage started a revolution. Disclaimer - I'm American, but spent several years of my childhood in the UK in the 90's (and attended a British school) so even though we were well into the era of the Playstation and N64 at this point, some of my mates were budding retro-gamers and made sure I receieved ample exposure to that incredible home micro developed by Sir Clive Sinclair. Literally we had weekends where we'd play Goldeneye or FIFA and Monty on the Run in the span of a few hours.
Not just cali that has squatters rights. This happens all the time in nyc. Its a really fucked up thing to do to people and it demonstrates alot of entitlement.
Raw reminds me a lot of Star Citizen in its scope and level of detail, and at best, I think that's the direction its headed: continually "in development" and janky af.
Star Citizen has demonstrated way more than any of these scams. That’s why it’s so controversial. It’s not exactly vaporware but it’s suffering such debilitating feature creep it could never hope to come out without scaling back.
I'd love to see some kickstarter's best games. That'd be cool. Would be intrigued to see your thoughts on On A Roll, a kickstarter game thats been in early access for like 5 years. No updates in several years so far
RAW never would've worked. Not just from the scope creep, but just from the getgo. You'd need NPCs to fill the positions that players would eventually inhabit, and the NPCs would likely need to fill those roles whenever players were offline. Otherwise, someone could do some Day 1 GTA chicanery, steal all of the valuables, kill everyone else on the server, destroy the entire town and get away with it, leaving everyone else incapable of doing ANYTHING. On top of that, the amount of setup to do most of the proposed activities takes months (if not YEARS) on their lonesome for TEAMS of developers. Even if you bought systems from the asset store, you'd still need to insert them into the game cohesively and get them working properly. I could see a potential GTA clone doing maybe 20%-30% of what RAW was aiming for and needing at LEAST a few million to do so, and at least 25% of that would be simply hiring the teams of people necessary to do that much.
I backed Super Retro Squad, and it was the second biggest disappointment I ever backed. (I also backed Yogventures.) It wasn't enough for me to swear off Kickstarter completely, but I completely understand why some do. In my estimation as a backer who watched everything unfold, there were two huge problems: 1) He was a decent programmer but a completely incompetent project manager. He should have started with doing the work the way he was used to, instead of finding out the hard way that managing a team is also a skill and doesn't happen automatically. 2) Without the specific constraints of combining the mechanics and characters of relatively simple existing finished games, he can't focus on what needs to be done to finish a game himself. His ego prevents him from just completing the game as originally pitched, without constantly adding unnecessary things to it. If he would just complete and ship something, he could add to it in a post-launch patch if he wanted. But he can't focus on the fundamentals long enough to complete and ship a game.
As much fun as it is to take the piss out of these terrible Kickstarters I really would like to see you cover your favorite games to come out of crowdfunding. For all the terrible ones that either never get made or do get made (unfortunately), there's still a handful of really great ones that started on the ol kickstartin' sites.
Watching this for the 1st time and when Raw popped up I thought two things; either they got the rights from THQ to remake the XBOX/PC version of WWF Raw retooling and reprogramming the game to have more features including more modes, more match types, more moves, more entrances, a new momentum system or implement the Raw 2 system. Or it would be a remake of the LJN version of WWF Raw that was on the SEGA Genesis/Nega Drive/32X and Super Nintendo and make it play like say Smackdown 2 or WWF No Mercy and with entrances and use either modern wrestlers or original characters.
It's funny, the guys who made Abobo's Big Adventure did so and the game took nearly 10 years to complete without even asking for a single cent. No disrespect to Exploding Rabbit, but man, I think a reskin of Mario with his OCs would have been more welcome than not having anything at all.
I'm not saying the ConEx Brothers deserves a kick in the teeth for being complete human garbage. I'm just saying that I wouldn't blame anyone who would potentially pancake their heads with a steamroller.
I'm sorry but how is a customer meant to know that the Devs cannot deliver... basic game features that have existed since the NES era. Really? Weapon mods? Skills? Probably could've just used a free engine plug in
For the "game called Raw" It's unlikely that Rockstar games and any other big game developers combined WOULDN'T be able to get this game made easily IMO.
the question is why would they? if i wanted to play a real life sim, i'd play The Sims or even Second Life, a "MMORP Game" that has existed long before these idiots created this scam.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley He was on the Amico bandwagon (albeit not fully cultist) for a bit. Didn't say anything about it until that little picture there even when the SEC filings came out early this year. So if there's no mention of his support in his Amico video...

Wait. ......Confederate express? So, it's a game.... where the heroes are called the confederacy.... blue collar joes working as a delivery service.... that are all white... refereed to as "rebels".... and the enemies are "mindless goons" in hoodies and other "street clothing" with grey shadowy faces that you are supposed to shoot and kill with shotguns. Um....... I'm...... not the only one that sees this, right? ...... I would have thought people heard alarm bells with the word CONFEDERATE being in the title... but the rest is CLEARLY no accident or coincidence. This is a thinly veiled, incredibly racist game with a thin veil over it that people fell for, where blue collar white guys that proudly call themselves "the rebel race" shoot and kill hordes of unintelligent members of "the zombie race" with ashy dark skin that wear hoodies and low-income street clothes associated with thugs trying to "steal and keep them from doing their jobs". What the actual hell. Why did anyone buy this? Why did YOU buy this?!?!?

RAW sounds like if you took FiveM (Used for GTA5 Roleplays most of the time), took out the moddability, took out the Roleplay aspect, and made such roleplay aspect a game feature. Which both sounds soooooooooo boring and is legitimately impossible. Someone tell me how the CPU is supposed to handle all the systems they're trying to make, let alone the GPU aswell.
I remember the indie collection on xbox live. Some gems and alot of porn games like a platformer that removes a pixel wall revealing a skimpy anime girl
"we are making this game that's more realistic than life itself by having a bunch of diseases and stuff your character can be afflicted by, needing the get a job, you have to eat and actually digest the food and then poop etc" Me: my God that sounds horrible, I play games for fun, not to live literally as a second person with their own actual life
The only game that could really use that sort of realistic body function and disease shit would be some in dept medic sim... or a scify/fantasy life sim that had magic and/or super science to mitigate it or so on.
@@RawrX32009 Actually, nevermind, not gonna mention the game I had in talked about in my now deleted comment just in case it somehow only survived by flying under Ninty's radar. Like Super Retro Squad would be, I consider it transformative enough to be fair use, but Ninty is asshole and enough money to take advantage of the corrupt legal system.

Do people want to come home to a another 9 to 5? Well, FFXI is still running after 20 years and it's still an awful horrible grindfest of an mmo where accomplishing anything is like dropping pebbles into a bucket and it's NOT free to play meaning people still actually pay $12/mo for it, so maybe some people actually do (before you ask the game has no "pay to win" mechanics either the only real microtransaction is an optional monthly fee for extra inventory space and that is all). True story, I still regularly hear about people quitting FFXI and moving to FFXIV, then going back to FFXI a few months later because FFXIV "was too easy". There's a subset of the population that apparently likes this sort of masochistic game design.
Yes and people pay that, to be tortured by the developers. The game still has something like 300-400k subscribers too. If you buy all of the optional extra inventory space for your characters it's actually $20 a month (which is $1 extra for 80 extra slots, maximum of 640 or $8) And with how the game's gear progression works, not as a ladder but a briar patch of situational sidegrades you need those extra slots. AND the game's endgame scene is extremely gatekeeping and toxic, if you don't have nearly perfect gear nobody will want you, and the game has been deliberately designed so that you cannot accomplish any serious endgame content solo.
I admit I don't understand game development in detail. However I am friends with a Nintendo indie dev that I talk to often and love his games . I don't understand why alot of these Kickstarter types need this money these games cost so much to make. My friend funded it all himself, never took anyone's money but put up his own. He's struggled ridiculously but has released 5 games in last 3 years. One of which is massive and complex. I won't name him or the game series here but I just don't get these jerks that trick ppl. It doesn't cost as much as the entitled scammers claim and it hurts the ones with true passion.
Agreed, like that money isn't really needed. You just need lots of time and effort to make a game. Also, what is the name of that game he made, because I might take a look at it.
I'd be down for a Best Kickstarter Video Games, sure. Knowing what not to do in a Kickstarter doesn't mean much if you don't know what's the right thing to do. And I'd like to look for potential new games.

at least with Super Retro Squad being abandoned, we still have Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, a fan game that is nearing it's FULL completion, took a long time but the team stuck with it unlike SMBC's team.

She got cross and said "What have I POSSIBLY done to make you think I'm smart, jerk." I walked right over, shook her hand and said yelling at my friend was a pretty SMART move 😂
God, that GTA MMO thing. You know when the confederate trucker game guys said that the scam victims were to blame for believing the scam in the first place, that was bullshit because what they promised _was_ believable, it seemed completely within their capabilities. But _anyone_ who looked at the trailer for this stupid thing, and looked at them talking about simulating all human organs, and thought that this was legit? Those people deserved to be scammed. This is so obviously impossible from the very start.

Playing a game where you’re basically working a crappy job sounds miserable. And I learned playing Star Wars Galaxies that opening and running a successful store with good that you manufacture is virtually impossible unless you get in early and put a ton of hours into it. No thanks.
When the Confederate Express guys disappeared, my first thought was that the landlord decided to skip an attorney and paid someone to kill them.

No he didn't. He never managed to get Sega's permission to use the IP, assuming he got funded it would inevitably lead to a cease and desist.
Reminds me of when Steam Greenlight was a thing and a game popped up that was a Zelda strategy game, it wasn't from Nintendo but for some guys that thought they could just use the Zelda IP without official permission. Obviously that project also got nowhere. (They actually got CnD'd)
@@Xfushion2 I assume he would have not tried to do it before getting Sega's permission, which he was trying to. Of course his mistake was to not obtain permission before launching the campaign, which might have been a factor in convincing people to not back it.
That raw project was laughable. Even if they achieved this dream game, it sounds so unfun. Like “wow can’t wait to get home from work to pay off my fictional mortgage”. Every server would either die or devolve into anarchy in like under 3 hours.
@matt then start having dreams about it and not know if your dream was based on reality or the game, that way you're at work 24/7
Yeah, isn’t that kind of missing the point of video games? People play games for many reasons - to have fun, to achieve, to be with others, to explore vast worlds, to experience powerful stories, to learn, etc; we play to escape all the BS the real world piles on us, not to recreate them!
@@KnakuanaRka even if we look at the actual life sim games, one of the core appealing facets of them is the control. You are the one who runs everything in sims or city skylines, you control your community in animal crossing. Making a game where you have to work a wagecuck job is the antithesis of what makes these games both good and appealing.
@@frogmouth2 Yeah, I was thinking of other life sims like those and trying to figure out the difference; thanks for expressing it so well. We don’t come home from a 9-5 to work a 9-5, after all! xD
That’s the first thing I said. “This sounds so lame!”
That whole confederate express thing could have actually turned out well if the two brothers were more interested in making games than scamming people. The game doesn't look bad for a first (or was it second) try. Heck, if they'd finished the game to the best of their ability, their second game (or was it first) would have probably been more successful since people would have known they were for real.
All I'm saying is they make a good argument for piracy
@Connor Aye, matey! Is it really sailing the high seas though if you’re doing it to Kickscammers? 🤔
@@Jolis_Parsec At the very least they released *a* game, that's more than most Kickscammers can say (tho they made it sound like someone else made the game at 25:25)
The Confederate Express/Knuckle Club situation reminded me of the whole Digital Homicide/Romine brothers situation where you had 2 brothers much like in the whole CE/KC situation not really caring about putting out a good product but in this one just crapping out game after game EVERY 6 DAYS (it was found out that their "games" were simply Unity Store asset flips which is HIGHLY frowned upon in the gaming community) which is ABSURDLY SHORT for a game to get developed in. It was LITERALLY LIKE changing the camera angle and boom, new game to those 2 and they took Jim Sterling to court (OR at least attempted to with I think a cool $15M lawsuit) but Jim obviously had every right to expose the Romine brothers fot the talentless hacks that they were and they had to give up. That happened back when he HAD credibility but now he is not much better than the hacks at any of these gaming urinalism outlets as he ATTACKED the Soulsborne community and demanded that Elden Ring get an easy mode. The whole CE/KC situation is that situation on a WAY millder scale but not any less shady. At least the pair behind CE and KC had SERIOUS potential UNLIKE the Romine brothers. I mean they were ACTUALLY TRYING and not putting out asset flip after asset flip after asset flip. At least you could give the CE/KC duo that.
Yep, scammer's ended up scamming themselves, rip Bozo's
yes daria the totally real woman who woul definitely say sorry im not always polite bc of my period to kockstarter backers.

Yeah, real women say yes I get periods, but I'm a bitch whether I'm on my period or not.

Raw is basically just a life simulator. In other words, an attempt at creating a replication of reality.
MAKE THE GAME FUN FIRST.
Yep
Watching Paint Dry: The Game, but fully in earnest.
I actually backed Super Retro Squad. To give them credit, they gave my a refund - but mainly because i very openly critizised them. It wasnt a scam - but Jay Pavlina acted pretty arrogamtly and nonchalantly all the way through - and blamed his teammates. Otherwise, Slope captured the process pretty good. And now all Jays contactinfo for the developmental team (exploding rabbit) - is a ghosttown.
Jay has returned in the last year, is apparently still trying to make the game, and now lives in Uruguay.
@@daemonspudguy source please!
@@Zomboii99 his RUclips channel.
I never heard of Raw prior to watching this video, but yeah, I wouldn't have believed for an instant that they'd ever have been able to make a game like that into a reality.
It's because of scammers like those brothers I could never invest by renting a second apartment, too stressful to deal with people crap
Raw's promises almost come off as sarcastic with how insanely ridiculous they were.
Props to Sega for making such a professional and non-demeaning letter to that guy. More companies should be more appreciative of their fans (cough) Nintendo with Metroid (cough) Capcom with MM Legends (cough cough cough)
There's a reason companies don't let people run amok with their IPs
Well, after the amazing success of Sonic Mania, I'm not surprised that they aren't any near as close-minded as other game companies might be.
@@Aevilbeast Yeah, it could be a double-edged sword. Sure, Sonic Mania did very well, but in doing so, it kinda reflected poorly on Sonic Team when their game, Sonic Forces, didn't do as well. If you have fans making official games that outshines the actual developers themselves, it made the company look bad, even if that was not the intention on their part.
Secondly, as Dex Dexter above stated, there is a reason companies don't let people run amok with IPs. There would be no way for companies to assure that fans are handling their games properly and should some subpar, or downright terrible games of a franchise was released with the company's blessing, it would again reflect poorly on them.
Yes, it sucks that companies like Nintendo are very draconian with their copyright laws, but at the end of the day, business is business.
@@Aevilbeast SEGA had never really cared about fan games.
Even if Raw could actually be made, it sounds fucking miserable. Clearly when I play a video game I do it to register paperwork and all that other boring real life shit.
When you're playing out real life to the absolute letter, you might as well do this shit in actual real life so you can at least get some real money.
Yeah, we play video games to escape all the crap real life piles on us, not to recreate them!
I'm pretty sure the mythical "You Can Do Anything" MMOs mostly just appeal to griefers. They don't imagine themselves playing those boring roles, they imagine themselves shooting the people playing boring roles.
Nintendo can't sort out the drift on the joycon, its a design problem because they were so obsessed with making the thing so slim. The only way to fix it is to make the joycons thicker to allow the room for proper potentiometers or even better, hall sensors. Nothing can fix the open track siders the current sticks use, they are a flawed design. Deeper joycons would be better in every way, in handheld mode the switch is horrifically un ergonomic and nasty to use. So many bigger aftermarket joycons have come out that fix both issues yet Nintendo have stuck with the terrible design!
Spittin facts.
I personally had since moved onto Hori controllers.
@@OmarAlikaj ive had my eye on the hori controllers for a while, they are exactly what the Nintendo joycons should have been.
forgetting the terrible Analogue sticks in the Nintendo joycon, the form factor of the hori controllers is an order of magnitude better!
@@Ponaru Nobody was spitting
Glad I'm not the only one who experiences mild cramping on the Switch whenever I play one for a few hours. 😅 And the little joycons are... eh. Gimme a classic controller any day, bruh.
"Who would work from 9 to 5 and then come home and have another 9 to 5 job?"
*German players sweating*
That final quote from the ConEx guy is weapons-grade chutzpah.
Guys, I'm kickstarting a Battlefield-style game that is completely realistic. For every combat role there will be 10 support roles to manage maintenance, logistics, paperwork, etc. There will also be the most advanced sleep and bathroom simulators ever created, not to mention PTSD simulation, divorce & child-custody case simulations, and a midlife crisis endgame.
Man, the Super Retro Squad one makes me sad; the DS game was great fun and I’d have loved to see it get the Curse Of The Moon treatment. Ah well.
Sad about super retro squad, was being made by the guys that did super mario crossover.
The altered beast guy didn't seem to have any ill intent, kudos to him for trying at least, that's doing alot more then most of us who want to see our favorite games from the past to see some sort of a revival
I've become addicted to looking at these scams, rather its bitcoin, gofundmes, companies, or kickstarter
in regards to Raw: when you showed the trailer i was thinking "wait, that looks like modded GTAV" and sure enough...the audacity on display is off the charts.
There's a reason Simulation games are usually about doing one thing. Like if Farm Sim was also a Bus Sim and a Shop Sim it would be difficult to make. But then you add everyone working the job is are real person and it all falls apart.
Kudos for Slope where during the "Super Retro Squad" section, after describing the whole Crossover game, quickly putting up a clip of the BGM used in Nintendo's official Retro Mashup (where crazy challenges like playing characters from other games in each other's game happened, "NES Remix" series for tWii U and 3DS. It was a nice subtle nod almost saying "yeah, there's kind of an official version of that idea now available, too."
Man I had totally forgot about the squatter brothers and that whole fiasco. xD
You might want to look at "Jay & Silent Bob's Chronic Blunt Punch". It's been years since that game should of come out. The folks made a 2nd game instead of just sticking to this one. Still nothing. (Nes Manga)
It blows my mind that in the 1980's, teams of one or two developers who were simply dipping their toes into the world of game programming with their ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64 out of their bedroom or garage started a revolution. Disclaimer - I'm American, but spent several years of my childhood in the UK in the 90's (and attended a British school) so even though we were well into the era of the Playstation and N64 at this point, some of my mates were budding retro-gamers and made sure I receieved ample exposure to that incredible home micro developed by Sir Clive Sinclair. Literally we had weekends where we'd play Goldeneye or FIFA and Monty on the Run in the span of a few hours.
After the Kilobite drama, it secured my thoughts on California sucking.
Not just cali that has squatters rights. This happens all the time in nyc. Its a really fucked up thing to do to people and it demonstrates alot of entitlement.
Unfortunately most countries have the same squatters rights law's, but yeah Cali seems like a really nasty place from an outsider looking in
@@kipter "It's just as bad as NYC" isn't a point in California's favor.
That Kickstarter for Raw with the ludicrous promises made probably makes even Peter Molyneux blush.
Raw reminds me a lot of Star Citizen in its scope and level of detail, and at best, I think that's the direction its headed: continually "in development" and janky af.
Will it manage to get thousands for a JPG/model?
XD
Star Citizen has demonstrated way more than any of these scams. That’s why it’s so controversial. It’s not exactly vaporware but it’s suffering such debilitating feature creep it could never hope to come out without scaling back.
I'd love to see some kickstarter's best games. That'd be cool.
Would be intrigued to see your thoughts on On A Roll, a kickstarter game thats been in early access for like 5 years. No updates in several years so far
RAW never would've worked. Not just from the scope creep, but just from the getgo. You'd need NPCs to fill the positions that players would eventually inhabit, and the NPCs would likely need to fill those roles whenever players were offline. Otherwise, someone could do some Day 1 GTA chicanery, steal all of the valuables, kill everyone else on the server, destroy the entire town and get away with it, leaving everyone else incapable of doing ANYTHING.
On top of that, the amount of setup to do most of the proposed activities takes months (if not YEARS) on their lonesome for TEAMS of developers. Even if you bought systems from the asset store, you'd still need to insert them into the game cohesively and get them working properly.
I could see a potential GTA clone doing maybe 20%-30% of what RAW was aiming for and needing at LEAST a few million to do so, and at least 25% of that would be simply hiring the teams of people necessary to do that much.
I backed Super Retro Squad, and it was the second biggest disappointment I ever backed. (I also backed Yogventures.) It wasn't enough for me to swear off Kickstarter completely, but I completely understand why some do. In my estimation as a backer who watched everything unfold, there were two huge problems:
1) He was a decent programmer but a completely incompetent project manager. He should have started with doing the work the way he was used to, instead of finding out the hard way that managing a team is also a skill and doesn't happen automatically.
2) Without the specific constraints of combining the mechanics and characters of relatively simple existing finished games, he can't focus on what needs to be done to finish a game himself. His ego prevents him from just completing the game as originally pitched, without constantly adding unnecessary things to it. If he would just complete and ship something, he could add to it in a post-launch patch if he wanted. But he can't focus on the fundamentals long enough to complete and ship a game.
As much fun as it is to take the piss out of these terrible Kickstarters I really would like to see you cover your favorite games to come out of crowdfunding. For all the terrible ones that either never get made or do get made (unfortunately), there's still a handful of really great ones that started on the ol kickstartin' sites.
Probably a more accurate title for that trivia game would've been "Are You Smarter Than A Golf Ball?"
I'm not :(
That altered beast one is a shame. To put work into something your obviously passionate about and just get flopped is depressing like.
Yes, it's about time we hear about some positive Kickstarters on your channel. Let's hear your favorite bests.
Watching this for the 1st time and when Raw popped up I thought two things; either they got the rights from THQ to remake the XBOX/PC version of WWF Raw retooling and reprogramming the game to have more features including more modes, more match types, more moves, more entrances, a new momentum system or implement the Raw 2 system. Or it would be a remake of the LJN version of WWF Raw that was on the SEGA Genesis/Nega Drive/32X and Super Nintendo and make it play like say Smackdown 2 or WWF No Mercy and with entrances and use either modern wrestlers or original characters.
It's funny, the guys who made Abobo's Big Adventure did so and the game took nearly 10 years to complete without even asking for a single cent.
No disrespect to Exploding Rabbit, but man, I think a reskin of Mario with his OCs would have been more welcome than not having anything at all.
The guys who robbed that poor laidy of her place is appauling some of the others were not as bad
That would be hilarious if someone did get thrown in prison in game and couldn't get out for a super long time. lol
I'm not saying the ConEx Brothers deserves a kick in the teeth for being complete human garbage. I'm just saying that I wouldn't blame anyone who would potentially pancake their heads with a steamroller.
34:54 "but let's not get ahead of ourselves here"
oh so that rule applies to us but not the Kickstarter project?! 😂
17:44 if you make $1000-$7000 a day, you shouldn’t have any trouble paying a couple grand for a full month’s rent….
My biggest take away from all this is to never have rental property in california.
I'm sorry but how is a customer meant to know that the Devs cannot deliver... basic game features that have existed since the NES era. Really? Weapon mods? Skills? Probably could've just used a free engine plug in
That first cheerleader smacking her lips every time she starts a new sentence really grates on the nerves.
For the "game called Raw" It's unlikely that Rockstar games and any other big game developers combined WOULDN'T be able to get this game made easily IMO.
the question is why would they? if i wanted to play a real life sim, i'd play The Sims or even Second Life, a "MMORP Game" that has existed long before these idiots created this scam.
They could, but wouldn't. That's because it's incredibly stupid.
I agree. Could but won't do it.
That zombie game just looks like when your mom tells you that you have Project Zomboid at home
And Slope shows an image of the Amico as he mentioned new Kickscammer content. Brilliant and timely. Looking forward to it Slope lad.
he still has a chance to turn this around and make a self deprecating amico kickscammer video.
@@TMS5100 Agreed. Certainly the best way to redeem himself given the dumpster fire that is Amico.
@@TMS5100 He's doing his own crowdfunding project and it's not going well?
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley He was on the Amico bandwagon (albeit not fully cultist) for a bit. Didn't say anything about it until that little picture there even when the SEC filings came out early this year. So if there's no mention of his support in his Amico video...
@@metalheadgamer665 I have no idea what Amico even is. Was he just a backer (as in, just one who provided money to help see it get funded) or did he have leadership control and say in the project?
Confederate Express - Emphasis on Con
Wow , you’d need so so much more money than that to build a game this complex and expansive!..
I've never hated someone as much as I do those Dennis and Max guys. I wish nothing but the worst for them at this very moment.
Damn for someone who worked for Airbnb as a customer service rep, it’s crazy that the host would even consider giving these clowns a full refund lol that was on her I’m sorry
Really? The first bloke renamed his game to get people interested in his _better_ games? How can you get better than _"Are you smarter than a porn star"?!_
Wait.
......Confederate express? So, it's a game.... where the heroes are called the confederacy.... blue collar joes working as a delivery service.... that are all white... refereed to as "rebels".... and the enemies are "mindless goons" in hoodies and other "street clothing" with grey shadowy faces that you are supposed to shoot and kill with shotguns. Um.......
I'm...... not the only one that sees this, right? ......
I would have thought people heard alarm bells with the word CONFEDERATE being in the title... but the rest is CLEARLY no accident or coincidence.
This is a thinly veiled, incredibly racist game with a thin veil over it that people fell for, where blue collar white guys that proudly call themselves "the rebel race" shoot and kill hordes of unintelligent members of "the zombie race" with ashy dark skin that wear hoodies and low-income street clothes associated with thugs trying to "steal and keep them from doing their jobs". What the actual hell. Why did anyone buy this? Why did YOU buy this?!?!?
Squatting in someones house is one of the shittiest things you can do, unfortunately california is a poopyhead state that would in all likelyhood side with these scammers
The 'game' footage of the character running around a warehouse (the last scam story) was making me queazy the way it seemed to cause everything to wobble in a very odd way...if that was real gameplay no thanks!!!😮😂
I hope you aren't saying "I made a game with zombies in it" is one of those bad indie games, I liked it a lot
It’s very strange that slopes has never heard of machinamas they are over 10 years old at this point
People really think they can just make games from scratch with 10-20k? Infinity ward doesn’t spend a hundred million for fun to make call of duty
RAW sounds like if you took FiveM (Used for GTA5 Roleplays most of the time), took out the moddability, took out the Roleplay aspect, and made such roleplay aspect a game feature. Which both sounds soooooooooo boring and is legitimately impossible. Someone tell me how the CPU is supposed to handle all the systems they're trying to make, let alone the GPU aswell.
I’m surprised, by the fact that I keep being surprised by how gullible people really are.

As soon as you started playing the music from I made a game with zombies in it. Immediately recognized it in like my subconscious primal brain .
"I MADE A GAME WITH ZOMBIES IN IT OH OH YEAH"
And that’s why I don’t go on Kickstarter anymore. I love watching your Kickstarter Scam videos.
"we are making this game that's more realistic than life itself by having a bunch of diseases and stuff your character can be afflicted by, needing the get a job, you have to eat and actually digest the food and then poop etc"
Me: my God that sounds horrible, I play games for fun, not to live literally as a second person with their own actual life
The only game that could really use that sort of realistic body function and disease shit would be some in dept medic sim...
or a scify/fantasy life sim that had magic and/or super science to mitigate it or so on.
Why didn't they just reskin the original fangame to make Super Retro Squad?
Cuz stealing level designs is copyright infringement
@@RawrX32009 Actually, nevermind, not gonna mention the game I had in talked about in my now deleted comment just in case it somehow only survived by flying under Ninty's radar. Like Super Retro Squad would be, I consider it transformative enough to be fair use, but Ninty is asshole and enough money to take advantage of the corrupt legal system.

Do people want to come home to a another 9 to 5? Well, FFXI is still running after 20 years and it's still an awful horrible grindfest of an mmo where accomplishing anything is like dropping pebbles into a bucket and it's NOT free to play meaning people still actually pay $12/mo for it, so maybe some people actually do (before you ask the game has no "pay to win" mechanics either the only real microtransaction is an optional monthly fee for extra inventory space and that is all). True story, I still regularly hear about people quitting FFXI and moving to FFXIV, then going back to FFXI a few months later because FFXIV "was too easy". There's a subset of the population that apparently likes this sort of masochistic game design.
Christ, 12 a month?
Yes and people pay that, to be tortured by the developers. The game still has something like 300-400k subscribers too.
If you buy all of the optional extra inventory space for your characters it's actually $20 a month (which is $1 extra for 80 extra slots, maximum of 640 or $8) And with how the game's gear progression works, not as a ladder but a briar patch of situational sidegrades you need those extra slots. AND the game's endgame scene is extremely gatekeeping and toxic, if you don't have nearly perfect gear nobody will want you, and the game has been deliberately designed so that you cannot accomplish any serious endgame content solo.
I admit I don't understand game development in detail. However I am friends with a Nintendo indie dev that I talk to often and love his games . I don't understand why alot of these Kickstarter types need this money these games cost so much to make. My friend funded it all himself, never took anyone's money but put up his own. He's struggled ridiculously but has released 5 games in last 3 years. One of which is massive and complex. I won't name him or the game series here but I just don't get these jerks that trick ppl. It doesn't cost as much as the entitled scammers claim and it hurts the ones with true passion.
Agreed, like that money isn't really needed. You just need lots of time and effort to make a game. Also, what is the name of that game he made, because I might take a look at it.
Describing the end results as video games is being a little bit generous!
The use of the Neighbours From Hell music! Brilliant.
I'd be down for a Best Kickstarter Video Games, sure. Knowing what not to do in a Kickstarter doesn't mean much if you don't know what's the right thing to do. And I'd like to look for potential new games.
Parasites will parasitize.
I'm actually very interested in what Kickstarter games you DID enjoy

Bro probably loved the game growing up and just wanted the current generation to appreciate and enjoy the game in a more up-to-date version.
at least with Super Retro Squad being abandoned, we still have Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, a fan game that is nearing it's FULL completion, took a long time but the team stuck with it unlike SMBC's team.
Yes, MKF is goated. I've actually finished a couple of worlds too and I can definitely say it feels a lot like a completed game.
Man the Super Mario Crossover failure was such a bummer. I loved that game so much I had my save file on multiple flash drives.
The smartest cheerleader I ever met was at a bar. My buddy was desperately trying to chat her up and eventually "You seem really intelligent" came out of his mouth.
She got cross and said "What have I POSSIBLY done to make you think I'm smart, jerk."
I walked right over, shook her hand and said yelling at my friend was a pretty SMART move 😂
God, that GTA MMO thing. You know when the confederate trucker game guys said that the scam victims were to blame for believing the scam in the first place, that was bullshit because what they promised _was_ believable, it seemed completely within their capabilities. But _anyone_ who looked at the trailer for this stupid thing, and looked at them talking about simulating all human organs, and thought that this was legit? Those people deserved to be scammed. This is so obviously impossible from the very start.
Very curious: where/how do you get the Videolytics tools from 47:57
The maker of Super Mario Crossover kinda looks like he would live in a windowless van with Free Candy painted on the side.
To be fair, NoPxl and other GTAV RP servers exist and operate strictly.

Playing a game where you’re basically working a crappy job sounds miserable. And I learned playing Star Wars Galaxies that opening and running a successful store with good that you manufacture is virtually impossible unless you get in early and put a ton of hours into it. No thanks.
