Starcrafts mod!

[quote=Searz][embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xmaPTrQ6CE] Jonathan (Carbot animation) is launching a crowdfunding campaign to fund the development of a mod he's been working on in his spare time for a while now. I love his animation and watch his stuff even if I'm not that interested in Starcraft.

[quote=Vaan99]Really nice idea, but he's asking for ridiculous amount of money from small community and dying game. There are more people playing agar.io than sc2, i doubt he will manage to raise funds.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]I don't know what's worse: The fact that this guy has the nerve to ask for money to develop a really shitty mod or the fact that you legitimately think this is worth supporting.[/quote]

He will work on it until money runs out and then probably do the rest in his spare time, just like he's done up until now.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]The fanboy crowd doesn't surprise me. They're going to be first and last on the funding scene. This doesn't deserve the money it's asking for. Period.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Toshabi]I don't know what's worse: The fact that this guy has the nerve to ask for money to develop a really shitty mod or the fact that you legitimately think this is worth supporting.[/quote] So you're serious? I'm having trouble telling with you sometimes. He makes it very clear what it is you're getting into and there is nothing fishy going on. I don't see why you have a problem with this. Do you think he's asking for too much money? I honestly don't know if the money he asks for is reasonable or not, but I do know for a fact that many crowdfunding campaigns over-promise and under-deliver. They ask for too little money to complete their promises and then deliver an unfinished product or fail to deliver one at all.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]$75,000 to build that. Just. No. Nope. Nay. That's very shoddy/quicky animation. There is no way in hell that it should deserve 75k to complete. Perhaps $5k tops. It's pretty insulting to the craft as a whole knowing he's demanding that much to complete such a half-baked project tbh. He makes some pretty amusing/entertaining animations and he definitely should look into a patreon, but it's sort of a slap in the face to his fans and the craft knowing he's crowd funding this for that much. That's just wrong. Now if it was a stand alone game.... then it'd be reasonable. But a mod? Hell-thefuck-no.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]You might be right. It does seem a bit much. Even if he gets maybe about 50,000$ after taxes and other fees involved it's still a pretty hefty budget. Half that would probably be more reasonable.. I think. It's hard to gauge. I don't live in the same country as he does nor do I have the same currency.[/quote]
