I guess I'm not getting tiny metal this week...
So playdek and Area 35, congrats you're already dead

You can pinch-zoom into photos. The picture clarity doesn't blur, which is great.Getting those quoted images to work on mobile is a crapshoot, but that seems like a shitty situation.
You just have to be smart about what you back. I've backed about 20 projects, this is the only project I regret backing (for obvious reasons)
Phoenix Point seems like a safe bet, Julian Gollop has ton of experience making strategy games of various budgets, they had a previous successful campaign that launched the game when they said it would, their stretch goals weren't crazy. It will be released, maybe a little later but it's safe.Oh, so this is different than that Phoenix Point game that looks like Xcom. I was really upset for a second.
That super sucks for those who gave their money away.
Yeah no doubt many other Kickstarter companies did the same exact thing just not been exposed yetI can't possibly imagine they were the only ones to come up with this scheme.
Easier to exploit feelings and make vague promises than to actually have experience and an honest vision tho.And somehow it's always the japanese-games-are-dead guys who do this.

Curious to whether this is a backer who somehow got accessed to their Facebook, or legitimate post. The game did look promising so that's unfortunate.

Damn deservedly so I'd be pissed af with that company to screw over the first ones who believed and supported their shit and giving other customers the better treatment, im pretty sure I heard a similar story like that with other Kickstarter shit too that's fucked.Recent headphone maker Zolo released a cheaper version of the same headphones on Amazon before any backers got theirs. My wife is pissssssssed.
If someone who used to or currently works there leaks the deets that'd be the only way to knowThis is why I've always been wary of Kickstarter, seen so many of them of them that just amount to nothing. Really sucks for all the backers though.
Yeah, really got to wonder. I'm sure there's more out there. Still wonder where the The Stomping Land devs ran off too.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????I'm really disappointed in this because this was my first Kickstarter backing and had reliable dev team from Square Enix and even got Nobuo Uematsu on board. Never trust a Kickstarter.

Something something Aliens: Colonial Marines yadda yadda yaddaI can't possibly imagine they were the only ones to come up with this scheme.
THIS THIS THIS. People are bringing old posting habits over from The Bad Place that aren't needed and don't work very well on this forum software.Yeah, what's up with that? I can't expand any quoted image on mobile.
I'm not even sure why the OP would quote images that haven't been used in the thread before. The forum software will automatically shrink them if they're too big.

Ah, appologies, I removed the quote... They actually blew up for me, but if noone has an issue Its fine with me.Yeah, what's up with that? I can't expand any quoted image on mobile.

i remember this kickstart, had matsuno on It, wow i dodged a bullet
The team involved should talk about it or they are involved?
You're mixing this game up with Untold Story. Which had also the same feel, but at least it doesn't seem to be a full scam like this one is.Yeah, im really curious to what matsuno, Sakamoto etc would talk about this. Because their name was used to sell this.
*Nobuo is not there
Yeah you are right. Sorry about my confusion with the kickstart projectsYou're mixing this game up with Untold Story. Which had also the same feel, but at least it doesn't seem to be a full scam like this one is.
As a backer I pretty much resigned myself, a long time ago, to have burned $100 on nothing. I just wish I would stop getting updates on this fucking nonsense, just come out and say the game isn't ever coming out or admit to scamming people, at this point no one is going to care either way.
And somehow it's always the japanese-games-are-dead guys who do this.
On their site they said they got Nobuo Uematsu:??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
No. that definitely boiled down to Gearbox working on Borderlands 2, while Sega was paying them to create Aliens.
Where is the "reliable team from S-E" though? Uematsu is a freelance contractor, anyone can pay him to make music, or sign a contract promising to pay him, and say they "got" him. The actual dev team? There was none. The director and guy who led the Kickstarter is a violinist/music producer who has zero experience in game development. They couldn't even name most of the "team" they claimed they had. No programmer, no game designers, just a few artists who worked on a number of projects on a freelance basis.On their site they said they got Nobuo Uematsu:
"Finally, our art team is furiously working on the landscapes and character art that bring the world of Azuregard to life while our composers, including Nobuo Uematsu, complement the artists' efforts by using the power of music to immerse you into the setting."

Calm down guys, we had an ex-employee who it turns out has made a career of sweet-talking his way into jobs he is not qualified for. After causing months of pain for everyone in the office we bit the bullet and bought out his contract. Afterwards I heard from people he worked with in past companies that he has been fired from about 5-7 game companies so far.
After he was let go with a generous severance package (about 3 months salary, money he did not earn by any definition of the word). He then turned around and stopped paying his rent thus trying to extract more money from us. So when he claims Project Phoenix money was used in TINY METAL keep in mind the truth is everyone except him has worked hard and at times with zero pay to be able to get investment for TINY METAL for the exact reason that we never used Project Phoenix money for TINY METAL. In fact other employees lent him money and had their own paychecks delayed so he could be paid on time.
Likewise when he writes "I left" the truth is "I was fired 3 months ago and am only writing these lies now because I want the company I barely contributed to, to pay my rent while I go on holidays to America with my severance package instead of paying the rent I owe".
I got scammed so hard on this lmao.
Never kickstarting anything ever again.
