Event - EVO 2013 (Breast Cancer Research Drive) Melee @ Evo2k13 Donation Topic

[Laijin]

Thats actually relatively cheap for fighting game standards...The Issue is the whole Autumn Games Lawsuit thing slowing Down SG progress alot. The 1st Dlc was 1/3 complete when it happened

As a game developer myself, I don't understand how its possible for one character to cost what is literally the budget for a lot of smaller projects(like this one). It doesn't make any sense at all unless Microsoft is charging like 150k for DLC or something

 

[Number 13]

If you want more specific details about it talk to Mike Z or Ravi. This is pretty common knowledge among the SG community in regards of the budget thats involved since it was mentioned many times during Q/A Streams in the past

 

[Vkrm]

Is most of lab zeros $$$$ going to legal fees? And who owns skullgirls anyway? Mike z?

 

[dontcallmeRP]

200k to develop one character, its just common knowledge guys come on

 

[smashmachine]

guys who cares about the development costs, just beat them in this donation drive
seriously

 

[Number 13]

Yeah sorry if this trailed off topic, but had to answer the dude who assumed that our donation drive would have been better suit for SG development costs which is sadly not the case otherwise we would have had kick starters along time ago

 

[MK26]

ITT people who don't understand game development costs

****, with the amount of people working on P:M it'd be a multimillion dollar title by now if the team wasn't doing it in their spare time for free

And skullgirls is an actual released game that has to worry about marketing and distribution and legal issues and ****

****

 

[BrandX]

Ah yes....the characters being 200k to make. And the stupid legal issues Konami and Autumn games are having.

Yeah it sucks so bad, that's why I hope that our community wins evo. With a lot more exposure, it could probably help the crisis that MikeZ and his team are having....hopefully. That's the one thing I want to see from SkullGirls, new content. To bad it unfortunately has the things that are currently happening to it.

But the only way for us to do that, is to win. Gotta keep going then!


Anyway, still looks like we are neck and neck.

Well, if no one actually has the source handy, I'll just use google-fu sometime tomorrow after work.

I wasn't actually trying to start an argument, that was a legitimate question. Possibly a stupid one, but one asked straight-faced at least.

 

[Naota21t]

If it takes 200k to developed one dlc character then you're getting absolutely robbed.

Development and coding for whole games can be this much.

 

[Yobolight]

YO ban the Skullgirls peeps for trolling.

Basically this. Find new artists if their over charging you rofl

 

[MajinSweet]

Not to mention a game like Skullgirls is only targeting a niche audience, so you shouldn't be expecting a huge return. It would make more sense to cut cost where you can.

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

lol random smashers trying to teach mike z about the game development process

 

[Atlus8]

We can break 25K before midnight guys! Let's do this!

 

[MK26]

speak for your own midnight, it's almost 3 over here in the centre of the universe (EST)

[Tesh]

I'm curious. Are the other 4 games even trying anymore? Would there be any point?

 

[BrandX]

aww that aint cool lol

Super Turbo and DOA seem to be duking it out for 4th/5th but that's about it. Guilty Gear and MLP have stagnated.

 

[MasterTK]

Just read this topic first time and I have to say taht BrandX is insane. 224 posts in a few weeks... wtf. Licking everyone's arses and is trying to get some attention. He's also spamming on Shoryuken forum like a 5 years old kid and apologizing about everything.

Ok. I get that this is for breast cancer.

I get that this is a competition and everything's fair game.

VA voice mails. Fine.

Dev sponsored custom artwork. Fine.

But... like... pornographic custom artwork? ...really?

I get it, sex sells and all, but... really?

That's really what it's come to?

 

[DrinkingFood]

You're surprised at skull girls porn?
It's practically in the name
The game was pretty much made for porn

Well, it's over now.

I know SG wanted to win but damn...

:I

 

[Violence]

Nah, man, we can beat that.

$200 for sex with Armada. LETS GO.

[BrandX]

I was surprised that my own community would sell porn for donations XD

 

[Violence]

Melee calendar?

Top players in risque poses?

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS PEOPLE

 

[DrinkingFood]

What are you talking about, nobody pays for porn anymore

Nah, man, we can beat that.

This guy's genius should be bottled and sold
or at least we should pay him.

 

[JacopeX]

PORN!? Sex sells so that pretty smart, especially since their game is one big glob of fan service. I wonder if their last resort is getting busty, bodacious women to dress as skullgirls characters and giving a strip show.

Is anything going on for Melee streams today?

 

[smashmachine]

if they're doing that, someone get all the prudes to support melee
but seriously, we can still beat them
EDIT: if they stoop THAT low, mr wizard should just revoke skullgirls' status at EVO

 

[Revven]

I wouldn't worry about what Fanatiq and MegamanDS are doing today. It won't be as big as what'll be going on Thursday. HOWEVER, I would try to keep the lead as much as possible today.

 

[GHNeko]

In a competitive community, play to win is pretty much one of our mantras.

I'm surprised people are getting disgusted by this. lol.

They really want to get to EVO. Let's not make fun of them for playing to win.

 

[Violence]

Who's making fun of them? It's a brilliant plan, sex sells, it's fundamental.

Dr. Peepee has the right idea, we can do this.

 

[JacopeX]

Complete with a stage name for a porno.

 

[GHNeko]

That's more PP than I've ever wanted to see ever.

 

[Vall3y]

Cool, $25,000.00 right now
