Nintendo’s Wii U has picked up a lot of support from indie developers over the last couple of years thanks to relaxed rules and regulations. There are also numerous examples of Nintendo going out of their way to aid and assist developers who might otherwise not of been able to bring their game to the Wii U or Nintendo 3DS. Apparently one developer who had some dealings with Nintendo in the 1990s who aren’t so open to change, are flat out refusing to contemplate bringing their game, Night Trap ReVamped to any of Nintendo’s systems.
Ahmad Khan writes: "The last few weeks have been interesting because of three Kickstarter projects: Umdlalo, Auraspark and of course Night Trap Revamped. The people behind these projects are game developers that have vast experience in video game industry, but ended up launching really bad Kickstarter projects. Now, to be fair, roughly half of Kickstarter’s video game projects fail and a number of these are launched by industry veterans. However, it is important for both backers and indie game developers on Kickstarter and IndieGogo to take a step back from time to time and make note of the factors that often play critical role is the success of a project, or in these cases failure."
It's the same as it always been since the beginning of time.....it's about the $$$.....they get fools to buy in 2 there flawed vision. ..."fools" rush in ....
And as long as you have sincere fools, you will have sincerely corrupt humans to take advantage.
Marcus Estrada writes: "Jim Riley, Rob Fulop, Mark Klein, and Tom Zito comprise the leading roles of Night Trap Inc. and are ready to recreate Digital Pictures’ best known title. Many of these names should be familiar to gamers and come with a high pedigree. With that said, it seems they have jumped into the realm of Kickstarter without considering some of the more basic aspects of how to handle a crowdfunding campaign. Although they may seem obvious to obsessed crowd funders like us, many projects continue to stumble in the exact same ways. I’m going to try and break down the main issues present in the Night Trap ReVamped project thus far."
Why is the Wii U tagged in this? I thought this creator expressed his deep rooted hatred for Nintendo not to long along with this game not being on the Wii U. 3 days in fact.
He'll get no help from me.
Seems as though the voice of the gamer's actually got heard for a change: http://nintendoeverything.c...
Hmm interesting reason. I've seen people avoid Nintendo for their policies today. This is the first time I've seen a dev avoid them for issues from yesteryear. Can't blame them, but hopefully they will give Nintendo another try someday.
Woot...Dana Plato(before the drugged out days) :D
Lol. So, they're resentful for something that happened in the 90's?
It was a different time, and it was a different company. The guy he's talking about isn't even working at NIntendo anymore, for Christ's sakes!
They say that you should "never burn bridges"... but that's exactly what they're doing here, with that stupid and immature behavior.
Those events were more than 20 years ago. Get over it, dude.
Wow a 20 year old grudge, they should make this into a movie, any suggestions for a title?
Seriously though I'm sure his remarks are just to draw attention to their kickstarter, which I hope they get.
Like I said a month ago,
some of the 3rd Party dislike of Nintendo is from the strict Nintendo Quality Seal days.
Back when devs had to get review and permission to release on NES and SuperNES.
Some of the CEOs and Devs are in there 40s to 60s and they still remember the stress and struggle of yester-year.
Anyway,
I am glad to read that many of you think they should forgive because that is exactly what Nintendo tries and has to do with all of the other devs who have snubbed them.
