[@maximilianorojas2845]

This was just painfully accurate 😭

[@emeralgamedev]

Thanks, my job is done!

[@justinthatguy]

Bruh, it actually hurts just how real this was

[@emeralgamedev]

@@justinthatguy There must be a lot of us out there who carry the scars.

[@draincators6702]

The assets in completely different styles is what really sells this hahahahaha

[@emeralgamedev]

What are you talking about, bro?? These are all custom

[@blackpenguin1695]

They can animate sword swings , but can't animate a simple walking animation. I think the dev used most of his mom's money on the secretly expensive dragon model.

[@emeralgamedev]

shhh

[@AwesometownUSA]

you need a ‘tearjerker personal backstory that’s actually an incredibly mundane experience’ to really sell it… something like “when I realized my mission in life was to create the most incredible & immersive gaming experience ever promised, my dad told me I had three months to move out, so I’m really counting on this pledge drive to work out [feigning like you _might_ cry, etc.]…”

[@emeralgamedev]

hahaha

[@RobKohr]

I loved when the character just casually glided on water.

[@lynnwalsh7517]

The fact that this only has 8000 views after over 2 months is the REAL crime going on here

[@aname4700]

the fact that this fake game is already more polished than Chronicles of Elyria 💀

[@zeroone1032]

i checked what you meant because i din't know, wow

[@maskedbadass6802]

Wow, yeah that must be the inspiration for this video since not only is the name similar but apparently Elyria's kickstarter even had a "King/Queen" pledge level of $10,000.

[@Csj597]

Dude you’re destined to surpass 1 Million subs with your continued great content. Keep it up bro.

[@emeralgamedev]

Thanks for the encouragement CJ, I appreciate it!

[@Nate-BreakingPoint-Interactive]

This is hilarious, just found your channel and binging now!

[@chrisdetky]

Raise your hand if you are still owed a Kickstarter tier backing reward 🙋

[@emeralgamedev]

I get the feeling there's a lot of us out there!

[@nivlheim09c97]

The only physical I got is from Mighty No. 9. I'm actually ignorant on the controversy. But the game being delayed many times, I lost interest that I still haven't touch it since release. And the physical reward...I kinda lost it (except for the shirt which doesn't fit anymore). It's in the house somewhere.

[@ijl7514]

I don't wanna talk about it (them) 😭

[@AchHadda]

i only got scammed ONCE ALL THE RESTE delivered as promised :D (100+ projects)

[@chrismissed]

I started to get really nervous about Kung Fury before I finally got my physical copy like 3 years later.

[@KayGee_yt]

I can't with the character just sliding around 😭

[@jankozlo1]

This actually reminded me of 'TUG - The Unnamed Game' by Nerd Kingdom kickstarter. Checked just now and they ran away with over $300,000 XD

[@emeralgamedev]

Wow, I haven't heard of that one!

[@athena3342]

I can't wait for the discord (which is tightly moderated) to be announced by the devs! (with a faq page which answers nothing) a channel for updates (which is a whole lot of nothing), and to be banned when I press a little too hard into how the game is developing!

[@shayoko6]

Honesty is one of the greatest things in the world. a shame many people would rather be lied to.

[@notsquarezum2858]

Awsome! Can't wait to dump 10k dollars into this game to be only ghosted by the so called devs.

[@emeralgamedev]

haha, we got you!

[@heitorsant1759]

Imagine if he actually released that in kickstarter

[@emeralgamedev]

haha, if I make a real kickstarter will anyone believe it?

[@heitorsant1759]

@@emeralgamedev idk will they?

[@lcj3_]

It's so funny how the walking animation....just doesn't exist

[@LilPeener]

I’m sold, can’t wait for this game to launch! 😂

[@vikingnusantara]

The sliding character is the most attractive element

[@chrisdetky]

Constant laughs, where can I enter my credit card information?

We're only accepting cash at this time.

[@beoxsgaming9388]

🤣 It's sad how accurate this is, but it's soooo good.

[@ihateyourusernames]

Oh man... smoothest walking ever seen

[@squierplayer]

A true masterpiece

[@MinkraftKJ]

What if instead of trying to make a singleplayer game with 2nd person perspective you tried to make a 2nd person perspective 2 player co-op game in which the 1st player controls his own character but sees everything from the 2nd player's character and the 2nd player controls his own character but sees everything from the 1st player's character.

[@emeralgamedev]

Wow, that's a really cool idea!

[@todd-tl9tr]

That'd be insane.

[@ThomasStewartDev]

Aaaand this just became one of my favorite KZbin channels. Let me know if you ever want to do a collab!

[@tresmith5224]

Honesty the only kickstarters I’m interested in is the board games ones that are being created by companies that have already had some level of success

[@emeralgamedev]

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It's really easy to over promise and over scope a video game!

[@MrDoenyon]

Those scams really make me think it's not that hard to throw down a couple assets in an engine and make a good looking video. :D

[@emeralgamedev]

haha, you're onto me!

[@geoffrygo]

I can't give you all the money in my bank account because I'm starting my own kickstarter (used arts and crafts business for artists struggling to finish their works because they don't want to buy new supplies to finish their nearly complete projects) so I guess I'll just subscribe.

[@Clare3Dx]

I don't know how you are able to keep a straight face...

[@thegeniusfool]

This is way too close to reality, man. In fact, the “real” thing is even more parodic.

[@Jose-tv2pl]

yeah that was painfully real

[@RobVespa]

Great video! I came here from your video about creating the same project in different game engines. I'm sold. You've a new subscriber.

[@lila3302]

this game is SO good that you can walk on water!!

[@Je11yBe11y]

Sign me up, and rob me blindly!!! Truly a great video!!!

[@emeralgamedev]

Haha, thanks Je11y!

[@darenn-keller]

Haha, thanks for the laugh! 😄 Nice work!

[@medmind2778]

there is also clinging metal sound effect! sing me up on full on shakedown tier!

[@emeralgamedev]

Haha, clinging metal soundfx is op

[@austinn261]

Sounds like it was based off chronicles of elyria but it already has more to show than CoE does

[@starlightskyes]

There are some crowdfunded games that did make their promises. A short list: Outer Wilds, Undertale, Hyperlight Drifter, Blasphemous, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Hollow Knight, Superhot, Darkest Dungeon, and a ton more! It's a shame there are scam artists that take advantage because indies still need crowdfunding

[@emeralgamedev]

I totally agree!

[@themax2go]

@StarlightSkyes very true; thing is though, it seems over the years, the scammers on kickstarter - and possibly other platforms - has risen, at least that's how it seems to me; in other words, it's always been an issue, but seems to be getting worse. also, kickstarter IMO is a dinosaur, poised to die, due to deso, defi - wait, desofi?

[@themax2go]

@SarlightSkyes - ps, why no more vids on ya chan?

[@starlightskyes]

@@themax2go I've been working on 3 games! I'll be back soon after my next event

[@HopeB555]

[@fishyfish1917]

Would be funny if it was called "Heroes of Delirium" because you would need to be delirious if you think this game will ever be finished!

Thanks, Chicken!

Thank you, that was spot on right to the last detail... and unfortunately I'm talking out of hands on experience with KS-Projects some years ago... Dear viewers - let that be a warning to you, while accurate, the video is not at all joking about the mechanics of KS - this is simply true for far too many projects on KS & Co.

Hi Kickstarter Team. Would you possibly be able to add a higher tier in the 50-100k range? My fingers are tired from clicking and buying the 10k tier over and over again on different accounts.

Lol. Funny, but sadly true too.

A lot of comments about the walking animation. Are you not paying attention??? It's a magicke invisible hoverboarde of course. Real one available by overland overknight express. Custom hand painted in style of your choice. And, er, ready for dispatch in about say roughly exactly 3-6 weeks-months...or so...
