Title: Human Resources Kickstarter
Post by: Akalabeth Angel on October 17, 2014, 04:56:38 pm

This looks fairly cool:

I'm not sure how the previous kickstarter, planetary annihilation turned out. I recall some grumblings about the early access price but not sure about the gameplay. This video looks pretty cool though, sorta Terminator meets Cthulhu meets Pacific Rim.

I find the concept of this software offensive. But that's just me.

I feel bad for the humans in this game, too. But I don't think I feel offended. The game looks pretty cool, and I think it should be made. Just not with me. :p

The concept certainly seems fun and worth a shot. I'm getting a slight Universe at War: Earth Assault vibe, with the human harvesting & all.

It's a bit ****ty of Uber to be crowdfunding for a new game this soon off the back of Planetary Annihilation, really. Especially when they already have an unsavoury reputation for that kind of thing.

Looks fun, but I think I'll wait on this one. Especially since I haven't really played Planetary Annihilation yet.

That's more my issue with this they made quite a bit off of Planetary Annihilation and are demanding a rather high amount of crowdfunding for this.

Universe at War: Earth Assault

Could Petroglyph not buy the rights from SEGA and make a crowd-funded sequel?

This looks interesting, not something I'd want yet, but interesting.

Is there a problem with Planetary Annihilation as a game or Uber as a game developer?
