Project Steel - Why I Wouldn't Fund This MMORPG & You Shouldn't Either

It's at least once a week seemingly we get a new "sandbox kickstarter mmorpg" pop up and I'm usually ready with the mallet like whack a mole. There's a million issues just on a surface glance with this one, yet again. If they're legit and they can get funding via more traditional methods I wish them the best of luck. But this is one of the least transparent kickstarters I've ever seen and if you're willing to rush your first impressions with an entire community out the gate, you're likely not someone that is capable of delivering this amazing experience that you claim you can.

I'm gonna make a kickstarter and this will be the introduction: "Immerse yourself in a modest, reasonably-scoped world with tightly balanced mechanics for an experience of mild disappointment over a number of years."

[@lliamthrumble]

I'm in. Take all of my money. But only if you take away a small amount of mechanics we all really come to like

If I had to guess it's a twitch streamer that realized streaming and playing games is not as easy as it looks and they're going to try to just get money out of people on Kickstarter without realizing that there are repercussions.

[@LiLLiSProductions]

How to kickstarter in 2021 (appearantly): - Do some tutorials online for UE/Unity etc. - Make short "showcase" video ("less is more") ;) - Add fluff that your game is next gen etc. (Note: "Never before seen" is highly effective) - Set a shy funds-goal (..hope nobody notices) - Keep info about yourself to an absolute minimum - Leave your country, travel the world a bit and disappear Kira, you are giving them a little of the benefit of the doubt, for which i support you fully. As there are many honest and talented indie devs out there, who are really trying. Glad we have your videos to serve as the bullshit filter for these games. Cheers!

[@williamrhea-banker3005]

- Keep info about yourself to an absolute minimum - Leave your country, travel the world a bit and disappear These are the 2 most important steps, because when people find out that you can't actually code and you've been scamming them, they're going to be very upset.

I think these Kickstarter projects are a sign that not a lot of people have learned that lesson, and are absolutely willing to learn it the hard way.

(there are a lot of lighting issues, bugs and imo too much of a stand out difference between the environment and asets) so these people are very likely new very new at u4 there's a lot of cliping on textures, there breaf even sounds like they are teens who dont know better imo. if im wrong il admit my fault and humbly say "hey my bad im sorry" but even as someone who did A WEEK in u4 i was taught tells to things like assets one of witch was how mutch a modle stands out in the world, those houses could be modles but i find it unlikely given how mutch they stand out from the basic environment. (sorry for any spelling/gramor ishues im disabled and try my best) no faq screams of inexperience and "man the man is bad pc gamers" screams teens (imo) youve even got the lazy attude of teens this doesn't seem like a scam this seems like inexperience to me so far from what ive seen.

I love your coverage of crowd funded game development I just looked up "Project Steel" on Kickstarted and it looks like they raised their goal to $250,000. Unfortunately, they only raised $902. The campaign ended July 21, 2021. Sad. Looking at their Facebook posts, their last three posts had a total of 4 likes. Glad I subbed to your channel. This is fascinating stuff.

Congrats on 50k my friend! 🙏🙏🍻

They're asking for a total of $7000, but the biggest pledge was $5000 alone. WTF?!

You do crack me up man, I had not seen this video before, must have missed it originally, very funny in places.

I just checked out the Kickstarter on this, and now it says "DO NOT DONATE!!!" Did they watch your video and now they're going to make themselves look better and make adjustments to the Kickstarter? Ridiculous!
