Hoping to relieve that Minecraft itch with Nexis Games' Wii U exclusive title called UCraft? Sorry, it's now planned for PC first.
In a shocking press release that was just sent out a couple of minutes ago nintendonuggets learned that Nexis Games has made the decision to keep UCraft exclusive to the Wii U. When asked how they (Nexis Games) came to this decision they had this to say.
Shocking.
I'll wait on reviews (or gameplay footage) to determine if it's worth a purchase or not.
Good to see.
Everyone else has gotten Minecraft so it'll be nice to have an equivalent of our own to enjoy.
Nexis Games has shared another three screenshots from UCraft.
This game looks promising for the Wii U. Lets hope it has some good production values.
If you were hoping the UCraft Kickstarter would reach its ambitious $20,000 funding goal, you're out of luck. It only managed to collect $1,283 dollars.
You might want to work on yours, actually. :P
1,283 / 20,000 = 6.415%
100% - 6.415% = 93.585%
... that's how much the Kickstarter failed by.
Oh yeah youre right, haha. Not sure what i was doing.
Will vote up your site as declaration of defeat.
UCraft looks like it could be good, however even as a follower of sites like N4G I had not heard about it's Kickstarter. Perhaps they needed to get the word out there that they had a Kickstarter, most people knew about the game itself, but the Kickstarter not so much.
I know that Nexis Games is not exactly a role model of success, but does Shawn Taylor (the article writter) have to disqualify the guy's efforts on pretty much every line of every paragraph? Not to mention his " jornalistic neutrality": is it really necessary to compose a proposition suggesting that the producer contradicts what he says just because he started a kickstarter for some 20 k? Really? If so, why Shawn does not send the producer an e-mail asking what he plans to do with the money, instead of implicitly accusing him? I guess Shawn does know very well that you can't do much with that amount of money, maybe buy a new computer or some software...
True, it's hard to know what will happen to the game, but again: why don't he ask the producer instead of just speculating? I mean, ain't this an elementary procedure in journalism when you intend to extract information: to ask?
Please excuse me if I sound rude on this, but it seems to me that Shawn Taylor never intended to actually inform his reader on what is going on with the game he is writting about: he just wanted to judge and disqualify the producer's efforts. If the producer is trying to go for "an awful tall order", what's the big deal with it? Let him be dude.
I think the article and it's author did an excellent job communicating and informing re the story and subject matter
By the way, why do you keep using the authors name over and over - we can all read - therefore we know who the author of the article is
The guy/dev making big promises and asking for people's hard earned money does it have a good track record and has illustrated questionable behavior re a well deserved critical review of one of its games
I up voted the story and site due to this article
From what I can tell, clicking on a few of Shawn Taylors (the autors) articles, it reeks of bias against and dare I say almost hatred for Nexus Games.
I don't know the individual, nor do I know the developer.
However, I see problems with Shawn Taylor adding his own dash of negativity towards the game like "an awfully tall order for a single man studio."
I down voted the site and article due to Shawn Taylor!
Huge loss, really /s
I won't be surprised if it still sells better on Wii U.
Why?
Because PC already has Minecraft, and Wii U doesn't.
So, really, this is just an unnecessary split of production costs and effort for the sake of spreading their game over to PC, which already has something that fills the spot they're trying to take up with Ucraft.
The Kickstarter, intended to fund UCraft as a WiiU exclusive fails, so obviously the best next step is to create it on multiple platforms. :/ I really dont get the reasoning behind this decision. If you can create multiple versions of the game then why go to kickstarter in the first place?
Is the name going to change?
Is it really worth spending time, money and resources to release this game on PC when there are more than enough Minecraft clones and crafting games in general already available on the platform?
What exactly is the thinking behind this decision?
And why is there no Minecraft on Wii U again?
wiiu cant even keep its games
