I'm with Oasis.
This doesn't feel right. At all.
Right? That kickstarter video sends up every red flag when looking at a crowd-funding campaign.
"Temporary art assets shown"Temporary art assets that look that good are there to entice the consumer. The game will not look that good, and that's pretty much a guarantee.
"Unlike any other [MMORPG] you've ever played."Haha, ok.
"We've gotten rid of most of the AI."Yeah, that sounds fun. Rather than putting any effort into npc's to make the world feel alive when real people aren't online or near you, we're just going to drop it entirely.
"[list of activities]... and more others than I have time to list.Yeah, that's not "Wow, there's going to be so many activities in this game" phrasing, that's "We don't know what other minigames we can throw into this project to make it fun" phrasing.
"We're going to be offering you the option to rent your own servers, too."Alright, for a supposedly player driven game, why would I want to rent my own server to play in a world that has little to no npcs and only people that I've invited to my server?
That picture of a RV in the mountains at 1:21, bottom right says "Medium Yield Meth Lab". I could swear that's Breaking Bad concept art or some stuff.
Possible stolen concept work, not going to accuse the guy or anything, but this person,
Vito Rafiie claims that orange sports car concept art as his work on several forums. So unless he's working with the guy, that's yet another red flag.
Also, that guy at the end, lol.
