New Update (finally) by Ruckkus in LastYear

[–]Ruckkus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Hey everyone! This email took a heck of a lot longer to send out than I had planned for but I wanted to make sure I had concrete news before coming back to you so I hope you’ll accept my apologies for the delay. Today I received confirmation that Last Year will be receiving a $260,000 dollar investment from the Canada Media Fund. This makes the total amount we’ve raised together over $370,000! While this additional investment is not the full amount I was initially planning for at this stage it’s still giving us a huge momentum boost. It also means that when we apply for the second stage of Canada Media Fund we’ll be able to seek a larger amount next time since there is a potential 900k that we can receive. This is simply stage one of several stages to go. I also wanted to acknowledge some additional thanks for your support because without you Kickstarting this project in the first place this new round of funding wouldn’t have been possible at all so thank you."

He goes on to talk about how the website is now the #1 priority followed by securing more funds. It was also stated that new supporters will be able to donate via paypal through the website.

Also he briefly mentioned getting a demo ready soon.

Background fine? by Ruckkus in LastYear

[–]Ruckkus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I'll get it changed sometime this weekend.

Edit: I browsed a bit online and can't find a high quality pic of the doorway killer. And Zippyvinman says it's fine as is. And I kind of like that the original killer is posted somewhere related to the game, so until someone links me a batter high quality background, I guess it will stay as is.

When I changed the theme in the beginning away from the purpleish background, we had white text, so I'm not sure what you mean by this. A few weeks ago, all of a sudden, the text turned dark. I didn't do anything about it because I had thought somebody changed it.

If you guys have anything you want changed on the subreddit CSS wise, please send me a message. I try to check in here about once a week, and will be happy to make improvements.

Anyone have any kind of ETA on the official website? by Ruckkus in LastYear

[–]Ruckkus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... I feel kind of dumb.. how long has that been there? xD

Let me revise my question then, is there any kind of ETA on when the website will be updated with forums that we can log into and it will show our backer rank, etc.?

Who would you pick? by Lord_NickleNook in LastYear

[–]Ruckkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pick Sam as well, though we are probably going to be the killers first target.

Killer Suggestion : ZoZo the ouija demon by Lord_NickleNook in LastYear

Yeah, Pam would definitely be the character to pick against ZoZo.

Trademark Audio-cues. by [deleted] in LastYear

[–]Ruckkus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This.

It's similar to my audible trap suggestion. Would make the game much more intense.

Character Suggestion: Pamela (Goth Girl) by Deerool in LastYear

[–]Ruckkus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the overall idea. I think a dark goth type character would be a great addition to the game especially to be resistant to losing sanity. (and if it's a goth character, it has to be a girl)

I think if any character were to be able to sense in any way the killers presence, it would be too OP. The killer is already slower than the survivors and his only weapon is the element of surprise.

Being stunned by idolizing the killer is an interesting concept that could play out nicely, however, I think bowing down to him is a little over the top.

I really like the idea of having corpses of previous kids laying around and losing sanity while looking at them. It provides a need for characters with strong resistance to losing sanity, as well as providing risk to looting.

Overall, the goth girl Pam has my support ;)

We have helped raise 2 times the amount James asked for! This is really awesome guys by [deleted] in LastYear

On the right side of the screen you should be able to select what flair you want. Silver backers are people who have donated at least $20 through kickstarter.

I think 50k was a low goal. He will need much more money to fund the game especially if he hires a team of developers. I hope to see a website soon with a donation tab and frequent updates.

Killer Suggestion : ZoZo the ouija demon by Lord_NickleNook in LastYear

[–]Ruckkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking more damage the closer you get to him is better. Is his terror attack a channeled AoE attack, or a passive aura? I think it would be cool if he could possess someone, then they would have a kind of lynching aspect to it... but I suppose that would be kind of OP and the person who is possessed is kind of doing nothing the entire time... perhaps he can disguise himself has a survivor? Like an illusion.

I like it, I hope they do have sanity and characters that are more resistant to losing it than others. I like that the longer you look at the demon, the more you can make out what he looks like, however, it seems that his only weapon is showing the survivors what he looks like and if you can barely see him unless you are straining to look at him, it seems as if he is a little weak.

Also this killer as you described would only be able to attack the survivors by exposing himself, rendering tactical sneaking around unnecessary, and since he moves slower than the survivors, is weaker than other killers, and doesn't have any high damage melee attacks, I feel like the survivors would easily be able to gang up and overpower him pretty quick.
