Distribute Kickstarter games that meet GOG standards
Added by
randraug Double Fines creation, Wasteland 2, FTL, etc. Games that emulate and refine the standards of our good old games. It would be nice to have a true DRM site to access these games from when they are finished. Since they all feel almost pressured to go to Steam, I feel that GOG would be an excellent alternative for their distribution method.
ZombieWarriorIt would be great if GOG released a Sonic-esque fan game called Freedom Planet whenever it comes around. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/galaxytrail/freedom-planet-high-speed-platform-game?ref=live
DyneAmiteThis would certainly fit into GOG's new(ish) direction of offering newer games. Plus with the general Indie vibe that Kickstarter has I'm sure that if offered Steam or GOG as a downloader then most would choose GOG, if only for the lack of DRM. Just try and keep ahead of Steam's inevitable price-undercutting.
Red_BaronNot a bad idea, though there should be something in it for GOG - So those who use GOG as a means of distribution guarantee DRM-freedom and give a small amount of payment to GOG. And therefor gladly voted for this.
ELFsweJust posted a thread on the WFTO forum. https://subterraneangames.com/threads/release-wfto-on-gog-com-maybe.1687/
shaddim@tsgnurk: not anymore, also Great Britain citizens can start projects now. see godus or war for the overworld
Tychoxithis should be "in progress" now that we have Giana Sisters and FTL and maybe I forgot something else!
tsgnurkAm I the only 1 who finds this suggestion strange? Kickstarter is an American exlusive, or are you only speaking of when the kickstarter is over? (in which case "kickstarted" would be a better description :) )
tfishellYes, "games that emulate and refine the standards of our good old games." So much this! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/subterraneangames/war-for-the-overworld
KeyperOSI voted, more as a way to express my desire for more games being available through GOG than any actual action taken by the GOG people (although being vigilant is good practice, after all I first heard of GOG through a Kickstarter game).
xep624I supported Project Eternity the moment they posted that they will be on gog.com (and when they made PayPal contributions possible). I want the gog to be my number one game store and I want to buy some good new games there too. And I am very happy and proud that people requested Obsidian to sell their game on gog.com!! Thanks guys!!
rodrollivSorry for the double post, just wanted to say that FTL will be on GOGhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/64409699/ftl-faster-than-light/posts/297708 ; Also, scratch the lasl ) in the url of my previous post
rodrollivThe new Broken Sword will be distributed by GOG (check the FAQ: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/165500047/broken-sword-the-serpents-curse-adventure)
Tychoxisince MANY (most dare I say?) Kickstarter games cater to the Good Old-Schoold Gamer, GOG should *really* get 'em here.
pbaggersI voted, thinking it was a blacklist against Kickstarter games that are totally stupid, pointless wastes of everyone's money like most of the stuff funded on that site. It doesn't matter too much whether or not the few good Kickstarter games (Wasteland 2, etc) will make it on GOG, as they'll be DRM-free anyway.
DizzardI don't really understand this. Just because they were funded on kickstarter doesn't make the games different. Why would they be treated any differently from every other game that gets released?
SirPrimalformI'd particularly like to see the new Tex Murphy game here (if it gets funded).
tfishellSure, why not, if the games aren't overpriced (probably around 15 dollars, unless some sweet bonuses are included) and are good.
StarmakerSurely you meant *DRM-free*.
ConayRYes, please. I'd love to see KS games on GOG. :)
PetrellThis is mostly in the hands of developers but it does not hurt if GOG contacts them themselves obviously. Only problem currently is that GOG only support windows where as many kickstarters either give you Win,Linux and Mac versions or allows you to choose platform.
denkoI'm voting for this because I want it too. But I really think that the best way to make this happen would be for the Kickstarter backers to put pressure on the developers (Double Fine, inXile, etc) to release these games on GOG. The people funding the project ought to get some input on distribution, and if you're one of them, please let the developers know if your preferences are for GOG.
