Tentacruel Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well shit. If they actually manage to deliver on all this it'll be best game of all time. I think Mighty Number 9 is still coming out but they hired some Community Manager that thought it would be a good idea to start getting involved in GamerGate using the official twitter account. So that's a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The banterbus is in town Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I can guarantee you it's pretty shit for something that was supposed to be 1. the "spiritual successor" of Megaman 2. 4 fucking million dolarrooeess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flU6Q9VVOJU So this...... Is the power.... Of Kickstarter........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 So just to be clear, we're not yet sure on the genders of them yet, are we? Or has it been revealed somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 It wasn't even a fiasco. She just drew a female Mighty No. 9 in her free time for herself and ended up getting hired as a community manager and everyone flipped out for some reason. So just to be clear, we're not yet sure on the genders of them yet, are we? Or has it been revealed somewhere? We don't but I think they referred to the bat as a he in the kickstarter video and everyone was convinced from the start that Yooka is a girl.

Shradow Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well, there's the whole thing about the "he as the default pronoun", though to me it does seem like Yooka would be the girl, and I think I'd prefer it that way. Bit of a switch up from B-K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She just drew a female Mighty No. 9 in her free time for herself and ended up getting hired as a community manager and everyone flipped out for some reason. She did block a bunch of people on twitter, (allegedly) so that was a thing. Everyone did whine out about her drawing a female MN9, which was also a thing. Fiasco isn't really the right word. Petty internet bullshit sums it up more nicely. Also both names sound female, but they're also anthropomorphic animals so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Oh, hold on, I checked the KS page: "Our new heroes, Yooka (the green bloke with no pants) and Laylee (the wisecracking lady-bat with the big nose)" Anyways, I've already talked about the world aesthetic, but I love the character design, too. It looks nice and simple. In particular, I like how Yooka's hands look, random as that sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Petty internet bullshit sums it up more nicely. Yeah that's a much better description. The Mighty No. 9 backers seem to just keep getting upset about things that they shouldn't be getting upset about, tbh. Like with every little thing they announce, there seems to be backlash that doesn't make sense. Internet's dumb af Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was more to do with her getting the job because she knew people internally tbh and that she had never played a megaman before. I dunno, I could be wrong.

Maeriberii Haan Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 People was really up in arms about that? Geez... New stretch goals look really fun, can't really wait to see how much this can get when the funding time ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well okay then. This is starting to sound a bit, "Let's make it as much like Banjo Kazooie as humanly possible." I guess that's good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I mean I don't want it to BE Banjo-Kazooie. It's been however many years since the game came out. Updating it for all the progress in game design we've had in the past 20 years would be great. The only criticism I've ever had of Mighty No. 9 was just how much they, and the choices the fan votes made, were trying to make it basically be a Mega Man clone. Seems both games are going in different directions in key areas tho so it should be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 One good thing is that these are seasoned veterans. A lot of failures have been people who never made a game before. (Yogventures etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 They should have set the funding for a week or less. At this point, they'll just keep needing to come up with stretch goals to keep people satisfied for over a month lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
