Title: Battlegrounds and 130k? Pfft exploding kittens and Oatmeal Card game!
Post by: Tibe on January 24, 2015, 01:09:33 pm
Man, the market demand sure is wierd sometimes... Battlegrounds didnt even get 50k in 30 days. This thing, made by the Oatmeal and 2 other guys, earned 3 million in 3 days. Their goal was 10k.  :D

Nerds love their cats. Make me the next Hitlér and i'll do a mass cat genocide. Then they can all cry their tears into their fedoras.

You got to admit, his drawingstyle is pretty entertaining, not to mention his humor.

Oatmeal is very very popular and hardly compares to the DonkeyCrew... :P

Btw, I backed that card game too tbh. :D
Huge fan of card games and this one just sounds like something my "every 2nd Saturday" card game buddies will enjoy for quite a while. Especially with the 8 players deck and the NSFW-cards...

I don't see how the chance of getting an exploding kitten increases as the game progresses by definition. Anyway, these guys are probably wondering how the hell they can spend 3 million on developing this product.

You pull cards out of the deck. The more cards are pulled from the deck, the less is remaining and thereby the chance of pulling the exploding bastard increases. Players can avoid and relocate it with other cards, until there are none but the killercards left.

Not really suprised. The Oatmeal has asston of fans and is pretty much a internetcelebrity. And majority of the people who backed this, teeeeeeechnically they didnt pay with the idea that they are contributing to the developement, but for the idea that they are paying and getting a product. In which case yea, the small goal helped.

Oatmeal is famous for sure, but successful card game campaigns on Kickstarter average more than one million USD in backing. Even Melee Battlegrounds would get that amount if they design interesting card game around it.

Average Kickstarter backer is American nerd and they like their card games.

Those are real paper board cards. You do realize that, right?
Not some hipster card video game... It sounds to me like you think it's a video game.

Getting neither the cat virgin le reddit game or the medieval game. But if Battlegrounds wanted mo money they'd add the thing that would get the casuals flocking.


MAGIC. SORCERY, mages, warlocks, witches, sorceresses, sorcerers you name it. And Dragons which is pretty popular right now alongside zombies..... ZOMBIE DRAGONS!


Just plain ole medieval combat won't get the casuals flocking. Also archers must be able to do 360 jump quickscopes for the extra attention. (If you're okay with 12 year old kids who shout racial and sexual slurs in the VOIP which you also must add for extra casual attention).

Zombies are fun cause of the gore, or in some cases cause surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, where not everyone is a sniping asshole, can be quite entertaining. But yea, Donkey learned it the hard way, that without solid advertising, a project is bound to fail, no matter how promising or hardworked on. That fundinggoal could have been easly reached even if Kim Kardashian was hired to say one sentence about it. Its screwed up, but it is what it is.

i hate people; i'm not mad because the melee thing hasn't been funded, honestly i never had faith, rather i'm mad because these retards trying to be "alternative" and "witty" fund these things like it was a fucking joke, 3 million dollars for this. no wonder why 2014 was the shittiest year in gaming history.

there are things you can joke about, like isis and WW2 but NOT GAMES OK? NOT VIDEO GAMES, THIS IS SERIOUS. it's serious buisness. and i'm half serious here

Ah, I didn't get that the exploding kittens remained in the pile if avoided, now it makes much more sense.

Guess it shows that kickstarter can still explode if people have good expectations in a project succeeding/a healthy dose of humour.
And if it's a board/card game and has an established name behind it.

I dunno, I kinda like em. They are the pets of the lazy man. Give em food, water and a place to crap and they are good. Everything else is just extra.

5chan sucks tbh, 4chan on the otherhand is pretty gud

And well played to the guys who made this, the game might actually be enjoyable but $4m or wahtever its going to reach is just silly. People are randumb huhu exploding cats of DOOOM so awsum  XDXD so this was a pretty clever idea.

Also fuck you cat haters.

9/10 cats are cunts, they're mostly shit pets, cat memes and cat related humour has always been fucking lame, it fucking saddens me that this shitty board game got past $10 funding.

Fuck you cats.
