Subject: Jagged Alliance: Flashback now on Kickstarter Posted by Shanga on Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:15:48 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Full Control, the new developer who took upon themselves to make a "true and real" TBS sequel to JA2, has decided to fund the game using Kickstarter. Here you go, JA fans, after watching dozens of awesome old games being brought to life on KS, it's our turn now. Only downside of this is that while for example Elite 4 is being worked on by David Braben himself, our old friend Ian Currie is slacking off somewhere, chewing the fat at Turbine or God knows where he's at now. Come on, Ian, help these guys, they need you! We need you! You just can't drop a piece of classic masterwork on the gaming scene then vanish... no, it has be to your curse all your life! Anyway here's how the new game is doing on KS. If you got the spare change, go help them out.

Hopefully they'll do like Elite did and setup a Paypal donation fund too.

We always appreciate devs coming to hear what the fans have to say. And this bunch has a lot to say, trust me. Thanks! But always keep in mind that you are not always talking to Andreas. But we like keeping one account everyone from the team can use (one person could easily get burned during a Kickstarter, mumbling crude things afterwards. Than we couldn't use him anymore ).

As long as you folks take time to discuss matters and send competent people in, it's all fine with us. Knowing who we talk with gives your words way more weight... At least you're a too small dev studio to hire a secretary to type PR spam for you. For now. If KS goes as well as it started you might afford one soon Keep up the good work.

We will probably become a bit silent now, preparing some bigger updates. Lot's of questions which have been asked. Lot's of things to answer...

Also seizing airfields, harbours etc. in order to get access to remote areas, secure supply routes, move into enemy's rear, (maybe even enable para drops and/or air support?) was something i'd like to add to the strategic level of the game. About destructible environment: Though I also think you shouldn't be able to destroy everything (it's not about a big war with lots of heavy weapons, it's no e.g. company of heroes ...), I'd quite like if you were able to chop some trees with a mortar and such. And hitting buildings with heavy weapons should result in (optical) destruction of parts of building (without destroying roof completely, I agree) - but also in a loss of loyalty, resources, money or whatever to teach you not to neglect civilians' need ... I'd also like to see Heavy MGs stationed in sectors or mounted on usable trucks or so that can be manned and used (by and against you) once conquered in working condition ...

A nice update all in all. Subject: Re: Jagged Alliance: Flashback now on Kickstarter Posted by JAFTeam on Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:25:08 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Thanks. We actually feared a shitstorm cause of our relations to the license owner. But we said to ourselves that being honest is the best way to handle this. I mean, seriously, if the project gets funded and afterwards someone is willing to invest even more Page 4 of 240 ---- Generated from The Bears Pit money (bitComposer, private investors or whoever) we will just do these things under our conditions which means that we will stay independent, bring our vision to life and not jump on the train just cause of the money. But of course, we will evaluate such things. Same for partners who want to do a Retail box of the game afterwards. We are just a small team based in Denmark, how the hell can we put a box in the stores in China for example?
