Chronicles of Elyria has officially shut down after getting $8+ million from Kickstarter

it always looked shit, never understood why people were hyping it

play project gorgon instead

Nah. You just have to not be a brainlet. Anyone could've sniffed out their bullshit.

no, I'm not going to play some autists neverending project

but that's why it's good, autism produces concentrated soul

People will literally kill themselves over SC.

Why should I care

Did they burn through it or did someone run off with the money?

>The kickstarter games that have succeeded are an exception, most fail horrendously
Just use common fucking sense. It's not hard to make an educated guess that the kickstarter mmo asking for just a couple thousand to make a grandiose mmo with nothing to show but some shitty concept art is full of shit.

thx for the money suckers

>action combat
into the trash it goes
doesn't work in MMOs well

Looks like Oblivion. Kinda comfy

Star Citizen is a playable game user, has been for years and it's fucking great.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAH
IMAGINE BEING AN UNDERAGE FUCKING IDIOT THAT LITERALLY CAN'T PAY ATTENTION
GET FUCKED RETARDED ZOOMERS

I still don't understand why anyone would support nearly any kickstarter. The site makes zero effort to make project leaders accountable, even going so far as to put in their tos that they are not responsible for the projects and will make not enforce completion or refunds. However if you're a backer and you withdraw from "too many" kickstarters they'll threaten and ban you.

I need to pull off such a scam or else i'm never going to win back my neet life though i don't need 8millions, just 500.000 dollars or so and i'm gold.

explain how this company raised $8,000,000 from retards besides the people who gave them $8,000,000 being retards. what did they develop before this to warrant that much of a money drop

>kickstarter
This is where the problem started

You don't understand, they were going to make mmos great again!

people are really desperate for an MMO that isn't WoW (shit)/FFXIV (trannies)/GW2 (broken)/ESO (shit combat)

Can I fuck the sentient female volcano?

what am i supposed to be seeing here? i see some ship flying arbitrarily while tons of lasers and rockets hit it and none of it matters
and 3 other ships flying around like they're not even there
what the fuck does this do that eve doesnt?

Day of the Dragons made $530,000 on Kickstarter and it’s well documented as being a scam with stolen assets.

what did they create prior to this?

more like a playable tech demo, nothing more

>volcano
implying you could make a girl cum
LAMO

Nintendo was able to get game of the year with that.

$500,000 for the rest of your life? How would you make that last?

Free money with no strings attached corrupts all.

I think the only game I ever "backed" was minecraft.

*costanza face*
elaborate faggot

Yeah, by not supporting things that aren't finished products they're taking the money to ship to you.

There are very few exceptions otherwise. Like if you know the people doing it.

Botw.

nothing, this was another autists forever dream project that people liked because who the fuck knows and it dived
it's very easy to scam MMO players because they don't actually know what they want but think they want open world/perma death/action combat and if you claim to have this stuff the average MMO player will jizz their pants and throw money at you if you can at least post a couple good screenshots

>shit combat
That's every mmo ever.

r e t a r d
you literally didnt play the game

Cope harder.

>has been for years and it's fucking great.
>???????
>No content
>No core mechanics
>No gameplay loops
yeah it sure is great friend

>pointing out that scam citizen it's just a tech demo that will remain like this
>B-BUT NINTENDO...
What does Nintendo have to do with this?
I'm talking about SC not Nintendo.

so because a select group of (retarded) people who felted shunned by the current set of shitty non-games wanted a non-game that they liked because they can't move on from their childhood nostalgia of non-games?

>playable tech demo
Even calling Star Citizen a "tech demo" is beyond generous, it's an interactive model viewer for 3d assets.

Only game i ever backed was mighty number nine because i was a gullible retard and wanted to "stick it" to capcom.
Once the ship started sinking i forced my bank to do a chargeback and got my money back, but still.

My name is indie gogo montoya. You killed my kickstarter. Prepare to die.

>Jeromy "Caspian" Walsh was designing Chronicles of Elyria solo from 2000 to 2015, taking time to write various algorithms and proofs of concept for various mechanics. Most of his inspiration for Chronicles of Elyria comes from the Wheel of Time series. In January 2015, Walsh filed Soulbound Studios, LLC in Bellevue, Washington in order to form a company and get employees that could further develop Chronicles of Elyria. Also in 2015, Eddie "Heat" Smith and Nathan "Tripnull" Hitchcock joined Walsh to start working on more serious proof of concepts and got the game's website online. At the end of 2015 Brandon "Strider" Carpenter joined the team to provide animations.
why would you ever give money to a guy like this? mmo players are subhumans

ESO is extra shit because of combat weaving and animation canceling

This. Last and only time I fell for this was EQnext. Granted, I think all of that is still possible, but I really don't think any game publisher would be willing to try an mmo that isn't awfully safe by design.

no, you cope harder. you're trying to compare an entirely game-less program worth billions to a complete game with amazing reviews, and even the players of which agree is an awesome game.

you cope, and also, dont forget to dilate.

Probably by not living in a Western country? That's over 2 mln PLN, I could live fairly comofrtably for 55 years with that, especially with interest.

>KS backers now know the unique pain of venture capitalists
Wasted 400k on a silicon valley start-up seven years ago. At least we fucking managed to gut everything in the company and sold 'em and have licensed the patents out. I don't know what game publishers do with burnt projects. Do they just recycle the assets?

I should've used that money to buy bitcoins. Oh well. I got it back soon after anyways.

cant wait to see ow the amricuck copes

mmo players are some of the most thirsty people.

JUST

Harsh but true most of the time.

I was genuinely asking. Sounds based.

Five hundred million dollars could give you solid 100 years here in Serbia without ever lifting a finger to work.

I remember hearing about a dude who sank 10 grand into this game at the kickstarter just so his kingdom could be double the normal size.

Get absolutely fucked.

p good cope desu

it looks like shit, but unironically if those mechanics are fleshed out enough it'd have more depth than R1+B for generous iframes+R1 that Soulskiddies think takes a modicum of skill.

lmao idiot doesnt know what bankruptcy is

Yeah, or just put 1 mln on a term deposit. If you get like 2.5% for a year then you have 20k net profit.

>game
lol
Didn't they recently remove the roadmap for Squadron 42 because after over a year of ZERO PROGRESS it was starting to get a little too obvious that they were just ripping you off? They even made a 40 minute long video of excuses about why ZERO PROGRESS is actually normal for a team of 300+ developers and a yearly budget of $50M on a project they say is the company's main focus.

Tell us how deep you are in this. $1000? $10,000? It's a scam, get a refund.

>Muh fraud muh lawsuit

Faggots that have way to much money and spend it on useless shit need to be fucking gassed.

I don't think you understand what it means, user. Even Mario has a gameplay loop.

That's five hundred thousand dollars, not millions.

Someone know the terms on Kickstarter? Pretty sure you can scam people as long as you don't right out say that you are scaming people. The money is donation no? And as long as the prove (not hard) that they tried, that is that no?

>amazing reviews
it got a 97 on meta critic. accounting for the nintendo bonus that should place it firmly at a respectable 77. not amazing, not bad though

It's their money, they can use it however they wish. I do want the project to burn just for the hilarity though.

Biggest problem was it's sudden arrival. Caspian was selling shit left and right not 3 weeks ago, doing the Duchy/County/Barony land auctions last week, and deploying the alpha shit 2 days ago
Something must haven happened for him to just up and quit, and it rhymes with "bookers and crow"

i put 300 into it, i won't REEEE over my loss, because any decent adult knows you don't put in to a project unless you're okay with a potential loss

What are you referring to?

My bad, i meant hundred thousand, not million.
I don't even know how that got there.

why gas them? enjoy the schadenfreude while these fucking idiots get fucked over

Anyone just feel sad that people wasted all that money that they could have used for themselves to improve their life on a shitty MMO?

Space Engineers is unironically a thousand times more exciting than this

NOOOOOOOOOOO REEEEEEFUUUUNNNNDSSSSSS

>accounting for the nintendo bonus that should place it firmly at a respectable 77
ok schizo

no, I laugh at dumb people

Literally who?

>Squadron 42
Lmao remember when Roberts and his flunkies claimed it was complete with whitebox levels in 2016, one shill even said that he "played through the campaign, and it's amazing". Now five years later it's a deferred product, is in a worse state of completion than 2017, by their own public statements.

>i put 300 into it
How the fuck do you justify spending that kind of money on ANY game, let alone a pie-in-the-sky untested MMO?

Why do people care where people spend their hard-earned cash?

I'm counting 1500 "dollars" rent + bills, food per months. With frivolities it gives my about 300 months to live so about 25 years and since i'm 30yo that takes me to 50+ years old which is about the time i suspect my body will start to decayed below comfortable levels of health so suicide time.

Imagine waiting 5 whole years, seeing it from its inception and being fully invested only to see it all crashing down

That's a lot. Move to a 3rd world shit hole and you'll live like a king for 50+ years.
