Indivisible - Action RPG by Lab Zero Games

You guys ever heard of Timespinner? It's going for a Symphony of the Night with Time Travel, coupled with music that sounds like Chrono Trigger.




Anyway, I found this post by one of the backers in a recent update of theirs when they were spotlighting Indivisible. It was....interesting. Allow me to quote it.

"Awesome PAX experience! Glad you guys went and showed the game off; I went there two years ago to exhibit a game and it really was amazing/surreal. Such a great experience!
Indivisible looks amazing! I'd love to support Lab Zero with it, but they (bafflingly) refuse to support Kickstarter. I don't know why, but I (in turn) refuse to use IndieGoGo. When they allow direct payment, I will have no problems with IGG, but while they're married to damn PayPal, they can go to Hell. And I'm sorry to every promising project that is on there (Yatagarasu, Them's Fightin' Herds, Skullgirls, now this), but I just won't bite. Paypal is one of the worst companies ever - sites love to claim you that you can just use your credit card THROUGH them and never make an account. This is patently false; they magically have dozens of errors when you try to do this, and ask that you always try again later. "Later" never comes, and it never works, forcing you instead to make an account, which always works (of course)... and now they have your info and Credit Cards on file. I hate them so much... and I'm certainly not alone. They inspire so much hate, there's literally a website called paypalsucks.com. Lifehacker puts them at no.1, ahead of guys like Verizon and Comcast, as the worst company ( lifehacker.com/5953394/five-worst-companies-for-customer-service ). So sorry to Lab Zero, and anyone else in the future looking to use Indie Go-go.
It looks like their campaign stalled out over at IGG now too, and it'll be a massive shame if it doesn't make it. But I hope that, before the write it off, they consider taking their exact same campaign over to Kickstarter and doing a redo before throwing in a the towel. I would very, very, very much like to support Indivisible. I will never, ever use Paypal, or in any way make a Paypal account (vis-a-vis, give them any personal, and credit card, information) though."

Sadly the Bloodstained shoutout dont get a great boost.... not get even a little boost

It's so lame to see the campaign turn out like this. I hope this doesn't turn into a situation where Lab Zero does everything people want in an ideal campaign (transparency, established reputation, playable prototype, support from youtubers), but still fails.

I didn't think using Indiegogo would be an issue since most crowdfunding traffic comes from the creators and I didn't have any issues with Paypal when I backed Skullgirls. After my whole mess with accidentally submitting money without choosing a backer tier and not being able to fix it myself, I now better understand why Indiegogo will never be as big as Kickstarter and why people don't want to deal with them (or Paypal).

I've also seen a handful of comments thinking Indivisible's campaign works like most other IGG campaigns where the organizers keep all the money made if the goal isn't met and the game will still be made on a smaller scale because of that. LZ has stated this is not the case multiple times, the fixed funding means it works like Kickstarter, there will be no game if the goal is not met, and LZ as a team will be done if they fail. I think the usual selling points IGG used to establish their brand and pushed so much in the past backfired and LZ forgot to account for people with short attention spans. I think it would've helped LZ get their urgency across if they just used Kickstarter and asked for a bit more money to compensate for their cut.

Hopefully things will get better and more money will come in once the prototype arrives on PS4. IIRC, it's the first time Sony's had something like that available to download. Even if the IGG campaign fails, I hope LZ sticks with it until the end instead of quitting in advance. Who knows, maybe having the prototype available will lead to Sony saving Indivisible if things don't work out.

In conclusion, it needs an anime/waifu injection stat.

I really thought the game would perform better than it is. There are no patent issues? I mean, nothing to the point of like Red Ash or something.

There are definitely no pressing controversies with this campaign.  I know this because I check practically every single day.

Believe me when I say that the Skullgirls community is rather underrated.   They're good people and when there are issues, they tend to resolve themselves very quickly.  I know this because I've seen it.(It doesn't hurt that Mike Z is always around to answer questions)

These guys are as clean as a vacuum sealed whistle.  Go give this campaign as much support as possible.

Super quick question: Are they going to be secret characters, like the Battletoads and Kratos in Shovel Knight? Or are they actual playable Incarnations? Also, asking Toby Fox if he wants to lend some Undertale characters, at least Undyne, would be absolutely helpful, thanks to the huge Undertale fanbase.

Fully playable Incarnations.

Will probably ask in the AMA thread, but I'm wondering if you guys were able to approach Way Forward for some Shantae action. This isn't a request, but I'm curious as to whether that was a possibility

I'm not going to go into specifics over who all we spoke to, etc.

...But let's just say we're way ahead of you guys on the crossovers people are asking for.

I must be tired, because it took me about 10 minutes to figure out what you guys were talking about.(Just got back from a long day graveyard shift)

Guest characters!!?? MY BOY SHOVEL KNIGHT?!?!?

Just reading that list is making my head explode. I just heard about Curses N' Chaos yesterday, is that game any good? Anyway, George the dragon hunter has arrived!
