PR is PR.
Marketing is Marketing.

In life you have two options. Trust the shiny neon signs. Or ask what's behind them. I always go for 2nd option. I am a journalist turned gamer turned sysadmin turned entrepreneur. I made smoke, I packaged smoke and I sold smoke. Smoke doesn't impress me.

Kickstarter, you know, is just a contract of faith. They're not bound by anything but promises. Once they got our money, they can do whatever they want. And that isn't necessary what you or me want. And gaming companies usually have thick skins, it's a world where EA is the king and we know what EA is and does. If you do not get them to do it the right way BEFORE they get the money, you failed.

Answer me this, you dear and generous and so faithful. The backers put their money into this. The modders offer their expertise. The community offers them trustworthyness and a status. What are they putting upfront? Promises?

Where is the fair deal in that?

I am going to be ignoring this until the updates on the KS page show they're willing and able to do this properly. So far they don't seem to have much of a clue what they're heading into. Prove me wrong, FC, for God's sake. Make me sorry I ever raised an eyebrow. Please. But do it by showing us exactly what your plan is. Show us your "assets" that make you capable of doing a JA with $350k. Anything but 3 pictures and some vague promises.

• 1. They need an good turnbased Engine.
• 2. Good artwork and story telling.
• 3. Work with the community
• 4. Work with the old boys and key modders
• 5. Make modding as part of the game.
• 6. Be in love with Jagged Alliance further understanding what makes Jagged Alliance so great.
• 7. Are independent and not ruled by, as you said an EA kind of Publisher
