Inafune's beggin' for more...

that's right, apparently over $4 million is not enough to make a crappy looking 2D game like Mighty No 9 and now Inafune's beggin' for $200,000 more to add voice acting to the game.

I don't know about you guys but I feel like this is getting ridiculous. I mean, how are these guys with only $100k be doing something like this https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/438269196/shiness But Inafune needs over 4 million dollars to make a simple 2D rip-off of Megaman? Seriously....

Games are expensive to make.

It could be that you aren't privy to the intimate details of the funding, costs, time and staffing of each respective game project.

How much do you know about video game budgets, and how to manage it properly?

You know, until Inafune pulls the same BS Dennis Dyack pulled, I wouldn't complain yet.

This reminds me of Curt Shilling's video game company. Struggled financially, now it's gone and he's broke

Doesn't have voice acting. Need a few million for that.

@_BlueDuck_: amazing isn't it? I am guilty of it in football season. Its called arm chair QBing. I can make batter reads and decisions with the ball from my seat. In reality, I know nothing about being a pro football QB. Gamers sit here and say this dev sucks, how could this have been done, blah blah. Because we know nothing about it unless you are in it, in reality.

It's not really that, it's more like an impulsive lack of empathy. You probably know what devs do and how long it takes etc. but you kind of suspend that knowledge during criticism.

Wow !!! that Shiness game looks and sounds amazing !!!

This doesn't impede on the current project. Which is completely funded and still being worked on.

This is for Expansions or Completely new Content for the Game.

Probably things like Cutscenes or Voice Work.

IT ALSO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ANIMATION. Just so you know other Companies have done stuff like this. Shovel Knight had an Extended Campaign if I recall, Shantae 1/2 Genie hero had one, heck even A Hat in Time has one. Not only that, but I believe Wasteland 2 is pretty much still getting backing with the Early Access Beta.

So really at this point you're just Preordering the Game. Since Backing this pretty much guarantees you a copy of the game. I'm already in the Early Access Beta once it launches, but i would totally dig a Japanese and English Voice Acting gig. I would like it even more if we get an optional "Megaman 8" style of English Voice Acting.

The man doesn't work cheap! You dig OP?

Nintendo should just hire the man.

He would never get voice acting then.

Oh! thanks for letting us know TC! Gonna donate a couple of bucks for dat voice acting :)

Let's start with the fact that it's not a MegaMan ripoff but an actual spiritual continuation of the series made by the original creator and then we'll discuss your lack of knowledge about game budgets.

That's pretty sad, Larian would likely make 2 or 3 FAR better games at that rate.

I'd rather forego the voice acting, I'm ok with blips.

I think whats missing in your eyes is mega man himself. To be fair its all capcoms fault. They just wouldint let the man make another MM game for some odd reason.

To be honest I was surprised when they said they wanted to add voice acting. Then theres the cg cartoon thats coming. It seems they are putting alot of faith in this game to be a big hit.

^This.

This is one of the worst threads I've seen in awhile.

And a game like this would probably be better for it. I can imagine it now: cheesy Sonic-esque Saturday morning voices in this game to make it sound absolutely terrible.

I'd rather not have full VO because they will pick the wrong actors and beck will sound like a 3 year old girl. Why wasn't any of this in the stretch goals for the original kickstarter?

How about you finish the game first before you add stuff, inafune? Prove that you actually are the "father of megaman" first. You have make sure the Cow is good and has no infections before you start to milk.

I hope they're just as "good" as these voice actors. :)

teh interwebs

Yeah, it is much more likely that voice acting will harm this game than help it.

This whole thing just seems pretty disgusting to me.

This is kinda funny. lol

Yeah it does,probably more VA than Mn9 will ever have even.

@TheGuardian03: Inafune didn't make Megaman. He was a co-creator.
However he is somewhat responsible for Most of the Megaman Games, Including Megaman X, Zero, Legends, and Battle Network.

Divinity: Original Sin only asked for $400 thousand (it got $900) and produced a multi voiced game with AAA production values.

Why does this need millions upon millions?

Budget.

But it's 2d and a much more rudimentary game.

Mighty Number 9 is 2.5d. The current Budget for Mighty Number 9 probably won't allow Inafune and the Team to include Voice work so they made this new crowd funding campaign.

The Work for Mighty No.9 is not stopping, the game is still getting made and it's still on schedule. All this really is is an Extended Preorder, because when you back this campaign you're pretty much getting access to the game at launch. They even called this the "Straggler" campaign.

They should call it the "greed" campaign.

How does this really concern you? I don't back kickstarter, so i don't lose money. Easy peasy. I just buy if it get's released

Begging? He's graciously requesting further assistance. If he doesn't get it, then the game doesn't get voice acting.

How can Inafune "rip-off" his own work? Use some common sense, Gue1.

I'm not going to pretend to know how it all works financially but to me 4 million dollars from their Kickstarter sounds like it should be more than enough especially when they got more than 4 times their initial goal, which I think was... 900,000? I'm aware that the extra money was for the stretch goals but I would assume 900,000 would include basic stuff like voice acting and I think 4 million would easily be able to include that.

I don't think the audience for this game cares about voice acting. Especially if its $200,000 worth.

OP is a cow, they are low IQ.

He doesn't think Inafune IS the creator of Mega Man. That's the problem. Heck, he came up with some nonsense where Inafune, Yokoi/Sakamoto, and their "mentor" had a drinking game over Mega Man and Metroid's creation.
