Post kick starter

[lombardsoup]

marketing and hype sound like distant objectives, for start i'd begin with communicating with the fan base

There's also the nigh non existent track record to consider compared to other indie devs

Actually they have a large track record of ruining the one thing they have done.

HYPE

Assuming the work in progress doesn't become vaporware along the way

Wow you guys really are fucking buzzkills.

Sure Donkey Crew could have done a lot of things better but I'd like to see how well you all would do making big sacrifices in your life to a) dev a mod for free for over 3 years and b) follow your dream and cover all required bases 100%... oh but wait, you haven't so STFU.

Constructive criticism is great but jesus, reading you moaners makes me want to slit my wrists.

Just because they 'followed their dreams' does not mean they deserve anything, this isn't kindergarten and you don't get a GREAT JOB sticker for effort. The facts are that if you look at their game from an objective standpoint everything about it is hilariously incompetent and bad. The only previous experience they have in developing games, is an unimpressive mod of Warband, and as they changed more things in the mod to differ from the base game it got worse and caused less people to play it. The only reason Melee: Battlegrounds has any hype at all is a mixture of emotional investment, blind fanaticism and people wanting a game like that to be good so much that they choose to ignore all evidence to the contrary.

All of the videos released of the game look awful and while that might be expected of a game in alpha, why would a sane person put faith in it eventually coming good when everything screams otherwise, from the terrible track record when branching out from Warband mechanics in cRPG, to the appalling attitude of the developers and the sheer incompetence of the way they have handled development of the game so far.

If there is one thing this game deserves, it is complaints.

Perhaps I should be clearer with the point I was trying to make: your criticism is so vitriolic, I don't see it helping (anyone but you). You are only serving yourselves, and obviously you think the game is crap, so why are you bothering? Just move on.

You're thinking hyperbole, and yes that is an actual literary device.
