On 9gag now

Just went through the comments for a moment... this already went sideways.

Someone even wrote "pvp in this would be cool" and several ask even for the name. Pointless.

Finally, someone else gets it.

Lesson learned, Daunt?

So is there going to be a Wii version?

[Nordwolf]

"Dead island ripoff" anyone

I would say its far from pointless.. its the most successful advertisement (viewer wise) that we had. Hell its maybe the ONLY successful one we have had. I personally think daunt is a (semi)hero for at least trying something instead of sitting on his hands crying about how terrible shit is. Of course it went sideways its a thread, even we dont manage to stay on topic for more than 1 page and we even like the damn game. Its all about exposure anyone truely intrested can just paste the gif title into the magical google and find the project. The best you can hope for from the rest is that they tell their friends and spread the lords message.

What lesson? What are you even on about?

What lesson? What are you even on about?

That advertising campaigns on infamous ass ends of the internet are doomed to fail.  You expect them not to rip this game to shreds?

I recommend you go read chadz's post again. In no way has the 9gag "campaign" failed.

[Vibe]

What he's trying to say is that even if we wrote MELEE:BATTLEGROUNDS on a banana and stuck it in justin bieber's mouth it would still be a success.

Main reason we have been "Slowing down" in the campaign recently is just we are too busy cooking up something cool that can hopefully go viral.. It's a risk, but we can see the light now. We are just too low on manpower to be really active with you guys, and we are very sorry for this. Hopefully we can remedy this and go for a real sprint near the end of the KS

Anyway, that your kind of attitude lombard is not productive.. We might as well just give up right?

At this point, all PR is good PR. People need to know about us. We are not nearly famous enough to create any controversies.

[Leshma]

Man I wanted to start opening some threads but since you're 'cooking' something awesome I don't want to spoil surprise. Keep up the good work.

[Mr_Oujamaflip]

Open them anyway, say there's a surprise coming. Might generate some hits anyway and pique some people's interest on this big unveiling.

Anything less than playable is shit, enough screwing around

[MeevarTheMighty]

Have you played it?

I have. It's not the solution at this stage of development. Even in the final months before release, a playable version is one thing that actually can generate bad publicity, because most people want to play finished games and don't have the enthusiasm, patience or emotional control to judge alpha/beta versions sensibly.

For the Kickstarter, the game needs to be sold by showing as much good potential as possible, while showing as few imperfections as possible. Open access achieves almost the opposite of this.

[Casimir]

Give it a rest lombard, you sound like an idiot and your shit posting is even funny.
