Hi Guys,
I was just wondering if anyone had heard about this game at all?? There's a Kickstarter campaign going on right now and I'm just baffled that there aren't more fans who would want to support it.
They even got a lot of community modders on board and a veteran developer from the original JA2 game, Chris Camfield to help out.
The game is apparently i pre-production, so there's not that much to show yet, but they seem to have the heart in the right place.. You guys think the fans are simply too old now?
Here's the link if you want to check it out (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2079547763/jagged-alliance-flashback)
Thing is, the original JA wasn't all that great, and the most recent JA was such a fiasco that I just don't know how they have much of a fan base, though I certainly wish the programmers the best.
Just because it's an IP doesn't mean it's a profitable IP, after all.
If Jagged Alliance were that popular, Sir-Tech likely never would have gone out of business.
I mean, personally, between it and Wizardry, they should have been rolling in the dough, but the designer of Wizardry 8 (and long time Sir-Tech employee) tried a KS to make a Wiz style game that failed.
And of course in this case, it's some Eastern European company that has licensed the game. I admire their love of turn based games, but their game are always janky.
