Project Pheonix - Kickstart RPG

Surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention this yet :shock2:

Presenting: Project Phoenix
- Japan's indie RPG developed by AAA talent!

Project Phoenix is a SQUAD-BASED, REAL-TIME STRATEGY GAME combined with strong Japanese RPG design influences, brought to you by top Eastern and Western creators who have worked on many blockbuster game titles.

Pretty epic video about the game on the kick starter page. It's pretty amazing how there's lots of famous people such as Nobuo Uematsu in the team O-O.

Initial goal was just $100,000 which is a tiny amount for a game with this amount of people in it... But the people who are working on it are devoting their free time and volunteering to help this project come alive which I think it pretty admirable.

There's only like 53 hours left though but thought you guys would like to know about it :D

Oh, this seems neat. I do love a nice looking JRPG.

And I definitely look forward to it if there's a Vita port. That system needs more games.

Ehh...Uematsu?
Has he done anything good in the recent years?

I'm probably the only person I know who isn't hyped about this game.

Not really, you have to remember it is an indie game and not some big budget title.
It's probably one of the few honest kickstarter goals I've seen. The other projects want way more than what they can accomplish with.

Actually $100,000 over a 2 year period with staff and teams that have work on AAA games is a really small amount of money. Remember there are teams of people, not just individuals.

Quote from Project Phoenix FAQ:
When you think of usual developing fees, USD100,000 is definitely not enough to create a video game. However, as each of our members are professionals in their own field, they do not require a salary right now, and so, are donating their time and effort into developing Project Phoenix. Their reward will come in the fansâ€™ evaluation of the game and a %-based royalty of all sales. This is the reason why our project will never fail due to lack of finance after we reach our goal. It is possible to release our game with just our developers' work, but there is one cost that we just cannot ignore in order to make the highest quality video game. Our pledge, USD100,000 will be used for one of the best 3D modeling out there. This figure is the most minimum cost required.

But I do agree that the other projects want way more money than they need though.

The characters look like every other jrpg ever made. Also, yet -another- amnesiac angel. Nevertheless, I'm willing to put down as much on it as I would any other game, for the sake of optimism or blind hope or w/e.
