The mockup demo seems like a good idea, but I think its too late to have an impact

actually the demo tells me a lot, and they may have an option to switch between mml tank lockon and a more modern control scheme like dual stick move/turn, i love the mml games but fuck trying to hit something above you is a pain, especially since theres no option to toggle lockon and switching targets once you do is ugh, hate that city hall fight ;_;, so i generally resorted to free aim and strafing or sniping
but this is prealpha, this demo allows them to test their mapping and collision engine, the core movement mechanics, animation, the physics engine, once they get shaders done they can plug those in, for 2 weeks this a very good start, and its actually common practice to have placeholder assets be characters from another of your games or even from a different game, you just have to be way more careful with foreign assets nowadays because theres way too many sharks trolling the kiddy pool >.>

*nibbles on her muffin
they need to make the physics less floaty and add more weight to objects, but the lighting system looks good, the item creation/deletion system is in place, context triggers work, collision is ok, movement is repsonsive if really floaty (i didnt have any issues ladder jumping), character switching works, each character moves slightly different, and it isnt crashy, my only real gripes are you cant attack based on camera position instead of character facing yet and camera inversion x/y isnt seperated yet
i give this demo 4 out of 5 muffins and a red can out of blue

Kinda pointless on the mock-up demo other than just telling people how the game will feel

So, an action adventure game with third person shooter and RPG elements... sounds a lot like Mega Man Legends to me! MML doesn't have notable TPS elements. The entire point of me listing all those sources is that none of them noted a TPS element when they were placing it in a genre. RA is clearly defined as having TPS combat. This isn't a conflict, it's just a discussion. Arc and me are on friendly terms, at least on my side. I agree that it would be best if they gave this another shot a few months after it fails. What's awful is that when it gets relaunched it will have to battle an already amassed big amount of negativity from the disaster that was the original run.

Atleast the cartoon has a good chance of getting funded, no matter how people see it the demo is not going to help much. i dunno why they did not have a bunch of interviews and do a bunch of reddits or youtube events to draw more people in. The shenmue campaign had the same issue with the staff being just about useless but the fans stepped up and finished the job, i guess the MML fanbase is not as organized if they were they could have set up their own media campaign to draw in support. Edit: shenmue fans have always been euphoric i think thats why we got as far as we did.

The entire point of me listing all those sources is that none of them noted a TPS element when they were placing it in a genre. RA is clearly defined as having TPS combat. This isn't a conflict, it's just a discussion. Arc and me are on friendly terms, at least on my side. I agree that it would be best if they gave this another shot a few months after it fails. What's awful is that when it gets relaunched it will have to battle an already amassed big amount of negativity from the disaster that was the original run. This is just a friendly discussion. Third Person Shooter is defined as "A 3D game type that has grown to prominence in recent years, especially on consoles. It combines the shooting elements of the First-Person Shooter with the jumping and climbing puzzles of a 3D platformer and a simple melee fighting system from a brawler. Third-Person Shooter games almost always incorporate an aim-assist feature, since aiming from a third-person camera is difficult. Most also have a first person view, which allows for precise shots and looking around at environment features that are otherwise hidden from the default camera In most cases, the player must stand still to use first person view, but newer titles allow the player to play like a FPS; indeed, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath requires the player to shoot from first person, only allowing melee attacks in the chase camera view. The ability to Take Cover, and a reliance on it for victory, makes a game a member of the "cover shooter" sub-genre. Melee attacks are more important in a third-person game, if only because close up fighting is easier in that perspective type, as are jumping and dodging. Add too much and it turns into a Beat 'em Up or Hack and Slash game. " Taken from here. Seems to describe MML quite well, and indeed the site lists MML as one of the games to apply to this. Anyways, the problem with Red Ash's campaign seems to be because of some conspiracy surrounding Inafune. A shame really, they should just be focusing on the game. This video talks about why Red Ash is failing.

... Seems to describe MML quite well, and indeed the site lists MML as one of the games to apply to this. I have to point out that aim assist is not the same as a lock on. One is a slight aim correction, while the other is continuous and automatic tracking. MML has the latter, which removes the need for actual aiming, a key feature mentioned in your very post. Again, there is the option to disable the lock-on, but the actual aiming is clunky and trivialized by the aforementioned feature. What site lists MML as a TPS? Wiki clearly doesn't in your link, nor here. Honestly, you have a very loose interpretation of what a TPS is if you think MML fits in "quite well". That aside, I imagine the anime studio will suffer the most if their KS fails as an extension of this one. That seems rather unfortunate. Also, who is this Bosman character? I don't follow Youtubers, as I find them obnoxious, seeing how they often express nothing more than poorly informed, pseudo-intellectual, biased nonsense in their videos.

The Final Bosman is one of the guys from GameTrailers, and his videos are interesting and funny imo. The site I got the quote from is where it lists MML as one of the TPS. It also includes MMX7, Metroid Other M, and other stuff. TPS is a flexible genre. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThirdPersonShooter

I had backed it earlier because of the excitement that was going on, despite not really knowing exactly what I was getting. After some clearer thought, I had decided to pull off my backing and wait for it to come out Maybe get it later if it got good reviews. I know developers don't really take time off in between games, but I feel that they should've been focusing on marketing MN9 and having that help fund their next game.
The risk that comes from profit/loss on making a game is a good motivator to try to create the best that they can with what they have. Always relying on the fan base for its initial funding/creating a safety net I feel is a bit abusive. I feel it is worse than pre-orders since we cannot cancel our backing if we see something we don't want/like after a time. That's just how I feel about this.
My thoughts about this may seem a bit ironic considering I backed ROTN, but the difference for me is that I am expecting this to be a one time thing since Igarashi wanted this to be his Magnum Opus (although I hope there are more in the series if successful enough), and that Comcept may apparently continue to use KS to fund their future products, since it mostly benefits them and not us.
Either way, I hope we can get a quality MML game eventually.

Seeing how I didn't notice the link at first (or you didn't originally provide but edited it in?), I had to search for it and the first result was Wikipedia ( it is identical), so I assumed you pulled it from there. But now I find out the source is tvtropes? I openly questioned the reliability of wikipedia when I originally posted a link to it... and you give me tvtropes, an unreliable mess, without a disclaimer? I don't even... I apparently mistook you for a honorable person of a higher class, but it is clear now that you're a mongrel. HAVE AT THEE!

Well. What an update.
The initial goal has no chance of making it in my opinion but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Weird thing, though.... the Kickstarter has to meet the minimum goal to collect the pledges. If it doesn't hit it, nothing gets collected.
They've said that current pledges would go to various stretch goals (yet to be re-announced).... but that may not even happen unless if they act fast and really explain well what to expect.
So if the KS doesn't meet the goal, I wonder if they'll open up pledging through paypal or something? This is all very odd....
