This is fucking epic! Just wish it at least gave a estimated time range of release.
Reviews for "J Rocketfingers 3 Trailer"
awesome 5 stars :D
I think you will reach the goal, fuck it's Johnny Rocketfingers!!! I waited a long time for this, i am a big fan :) But why so late did you decide to make JRF 3? And yeah i think you should ask Tom Fulp for help like @dutchiscool said. Good Luck!
Really great vastcool,but i gotta give you this 1 very important tip:
ADVERTISE.
Seriously,that's an insane goal you got there,and if you don't want to end with next to no money i gotta tell you this:
Advertise whenever you can. If i were you,i'd ask Tom Fulp to put a big banner on the frontpage right now just like in Project Nexus 2,i'm sure that that will really boost your income.
I also saw your response to Wegra,and you did make some good points,that's why i'm giving you these tips. I hope you don't take this the wrong way ofcourse (And by that,i mean you think i'm some guy who's shitting on your work or anything. I could never do that anyway,as i've been a fan of your work since the very first game).
1 more question though,will there be medals in this game? And will the older games get medals here on NG or is that not possible?
Rock on vastcool,and good luck to you!
vastcool responds:
Hi Dutch, I really appreciate your review and the tips you gave me. There won't be any medals for Johnny 1 & 2. Johnny 3 will not be a flash game so medals might not be an option.
Looks great but one thing that's been pissing me off a bit...
390,000 bucks as a goal? Are you fucking kidding me why so much! I understand you have a small team and your kickstarter says where its going but like Madness Project Nexus 2 was only 60 thousand or something like that and had a small team. Isn't this just for a Steam release? I hate to say it but I dont think you'll make the deadline unless you lower the amount I REALLY want to see this project completed but I have a bad feeling it wont
vastcool responds:
Look at the concept art for JRF3. Look at the art in Madness. They are two completely different art styles and approaches to the medium. Madness recycles and reuses a large amount of it's animation, which makes it way less difficult to make and way less expensive.
Johnny is the complete opposite: everything is unique, hand animated, hand drawn. Did Akira look like it was cheap to make? Well that is the animation quality I am striving for. Keep in mind Johnny is just as much an ANIMATED FILM as it is an interactive puzzle adventure game.
You won't find another 2D Adventure like this on kickstarter because frankly nobody is willing to do it. Film-quality 2D animation is a horrendous amount of labor which I will attempt to explain in a video update of myself talking.
Look man. If you truly love Johnny, don't worry about the end number. Just worry about wanting to see a new Johnny game. Pledging and being positive is what is most important right now, regardless if it succeeds or not. I have brought a substantial amount of free content to the internet. I have grown as an artist and I no longer wish to make little baby flashes, but instead full fledged epics.
I am not trying to screw anyone over here. I am a real artist trying to make real art and I will try best I can in my future video update to explain why this is so hard to make and why it takes so much time to make.
It would be a real shame if nobody got to see what this game could become. The concept art should be a testament to that.
