    It's actually worse than "all of it's just store bought assets" sadly. I talked with one of my friends that does dev work using the same engine and literally everything shown are free assets, or were free at some point in time. The airship is part of a tutorial that teaches you how to animate the wings, the sweets biome is an asset from fortnite, the pirates cove is a free asset pack, the UI pack is free, the resource gathering is a free pack... They are ALL free. The only thing that they might have paid for in terms of assets, because it was only free for a limited time, is something that would have cost them $150 which is something that's locked behind a backer pledge of $149 (convenient that)

Nothing wrong with using free or paid assets/plugins I use them also but the point is that they did practically zero work, any idiot with bare minimum knowledge of Unreal could throw it together in no time.

      @@mrsqueak4837 I think there is fine line between thinking you know what you want, and the reality of what that actually is, plenty of ideas actually make for terrible games which is why experienced devs build prototypes to test theories, or more often ideas just don't appeal to all types, which is why anyone who wants what this claims to be doesn't really understand what they are asking for imo. The more this occurs the more it will continue, and I'm shocked how well this did considering how lazy and disingenuous of an effort it was.

    Make no mistake, dear viewers, this channel - with regards to the gaming industry - is one of, if not THE most important channels you will likely watch. I do not say this as a 'fan-boy' - or, whatever the current vernacular is these days amongst youth/teens - but, is an honest dissection of the machinations behind the production of games and/or, the possible pitfalls/hopes from Kickstarter products. Not only that: this can applied to the whole industry; especially the disingenuous marketing employed by AAA games. KiraTV speaks from the heart and you can tell he is a gamer (if you are here, like me, you most likely fall under this category, also. I have been a gamer since I first witnessed my teacher boot up a game on a ZX80, on a black & white TV, in the 1970's, in my UK school) and has you and the gaming industries interests at heart.
    I watch his channel with interest and hope that it will blossom into the hallmark of how reviews/overviews SHOULD be done.
    On another note: take care out there because the world is bleak but, if we have good games, we can escape...

  • @Mepper.
    @Mepper. 3 года назад +3

    On the first day of the campaign I was somewhat interested in it. Since it had very few details I sent a message to the creator pointing out the sparse information and asking a bunch of questions. He took the easiest questions that could be answered in a subjective manner, reworked them, and used them to create the FAQ entries. He directly avoided answering questions like what he would do for servers and where they would be located. Between his statement that the game would be everything to everybody and his unwillingness to discuss any plans for back-end server support I came away with the impression that he didn't have any plans for actually releasing a game. A couple of days ago I followed a link he posted in the comments for a video he claimed showed multiplayer support (among other things). The video was 3 hours long. I skimmed it and never saw a second player in the "game". What I did see was horrible stuttering and lagging in a world that only had one player. I'm tempted to join the Discord just to lurk and see how long it takes for him to start spouting excuses for why people aren't getting the promised alpha access.

    Yep, gotta read the fine print always. Thanks for the update and the additional info, I figured once they hit a certain amount KS would not pull it even if they see it for what it is because as you show they covered themselves and they get their 5% no matter. For me the biggest issue is setting the bar so low on expectations, and at the same time creating problems for those who are earnest in their intentions. I think it goes to show though that some marketing awareness can get you a long way when it comes to KS and raising investment funding. Something i think a lot of other teams don't consider or put the right effort into because its not their forte'.

    The really bizarre thing about their entire concept is that I'm pretty sure one of them (or perhaps both) watched the movie "Ready Player One" and then decided to base the concept of their scam game off of "The Oasis" from the movie. Millions of players in the same world? The promise of adding in mechanics that will allow for all genres of games to be played in their game? Surprised they didn't add in the idea that they will hide obscure clues in random bits of the game that will turn over control of their company to the people who decipher it.
    Bloody hell, I've played a lot of MMOs and other online multiplayer games. The stuff being promised for "Dreamworld" is ridiculously out of reach for even the biggest AAA game companies. And these guys claim to be able to do it for $7,000 and 2.5 developers?

    The real joke is that the alpha they're going to make with the kickstarter money and give to backers already exists and was sitting in Zach's Google drive account. There was a PC and MAC version with a prepared install guide documentation. The exe was ver. 1.0.0. The account was eventually set to private, but for awhile you could access it if you had the link. This guy also ran another kickstarter account that had absolutely no backers and then got a boost of $10k from a single backer. My guess is that the $10k was his own money or family, and used as a technique to drive interest. The campaign didn't get a lot of new interest and on the last day Zach cancelled it.
