Hollywood Mogul 4

[Cheeky Hughes]

Best thing I ever did was cast Frank Sinatra in an award winning film adaptation of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, alongside David Schwimmer.

Obviously David Schwimmer was Billy, yes?

I own(ed) HM 2 and HM 3. Quite liked them, although the limited actor/actress database made it a bit difficult to make movies late in the piece. Would love to see this come to fruition.

Kickstarter is up for it - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/664775277/hollywood-mogul-4-run-your-own-hollywood-movie-stu

I don't think it'll get there but I'd love to be proven wrong.

40$ for the full game?! The guy is insane.

[SeanDMan]

$25 for the game, $40 for the game plus two DLC packs. Better than Capcoms $60 for a game and then $15 each for DLC packs that are already on your disk.

[Herr Matzat]

He can call it however he wants. He is asking for 120k to create a game and for 25$ your only getting part of that. (let alone that 25$ already is a lot on todays indygaming marked, this would have been a good opertunety to test out a "normal" 15$ pricepoint, because what dos he have to loose?)

Besides, your average capcom game is on sale for 5$ one or two month after it´s release. HM never got a discount as far as i remembered.

[SeanDMan]

He might as well Kickstarter it at $25/$40. If he doesn't get it, he can always Kickstarter it again at $15/25. Nothing to loose except potential profit.

[Herr Matzat]

You can´t rekickstarter the same product. Also kickstarter is not a profit gennerating platform, the money you make should be used to create what you want to create. It´s not amazon.com.

I wager you can if you're smart about going about it. Different names and such.

This is silly. You don't really believe this do you? Everything is a profit generating platform when you say "I have a product, and I want money for it".

TEW13 costs 35.

And this is pretty much TEW but for Movies.

[Herr Matzat]

I absolutely do. But i also realise that there have been other people abusing it for pure extra chash generation which lead to the fact that many gaming sites stoped to report about kickstarter enterly hurting a ton of projects that actually look for help covering their production costs. The guys behind starCommand for example are over 50k in dept, Tim Schaafer is activly using every cent pledged to make the project as good as possibe, Sealark comes to mind aswell.

Kickstarter should not be a gloryfied preorder platform, esp. since what you do is vastly different from preordering. People will learn this the hard way once the first project tanks big time a year or two in development (there has already been one, but the guy gave people their money back as far as i know). Your looking at a idea pitch here, it´s different hype from "look at what we´ve got, it´s due to be released in a month".

You CAN reKickstart something.

[Herr Matzat]

You can only if you cancel the old kickstarter before it ends. If it fails or succeds you can´t do the same product a second time unless they changed something recently.

I´ed love to see it don, i´ed love to see a Mac Version, i´ed love to see it look more like a game that had a budget. I hope he thinks about stuff instead of just giving up. But this seems to go nowere with full force.

[LL!]

Maybe it's a rule for products specifically that I don't know of, but even if that's the case it's not like he doesn't have a whole host of other crowd funding sites to use.

[Herr Matzat]

I doubt that he´ll do any better elsewhere if he dos not get it of the ground on Kickstarter. They are the major player.

They changed the rules, you now can try the same project again.

[Quom]

He'll likely just do the sites where you get to pocket the money whether you hit target or not when this fails.
