Gameplay Tutorial

7 days left on Indiegogo campaign

Note: our campaign type is Fixed Funding, which means the goal must be passed or everyone will be refunded and we won’t get anything.

Developer: Theory Interactive (Finland)
Engine: Praxis
Website: http://reset-game.net/

"Did we mention that besides Reset being a puzzle game, it’s also an open world mystery solving game."

Very sceptical of that open world mention...

Next gen? Looks good.

potam · Dec 17, 2013

Dat popup and LOD on the trees.

But for real, the lighting looks ridiculous. I think I remember seeing the teaser for this a long time ago, and no one could believe those weren't pre-rendered graphics.

they aren't going to make it

FACE · Dec 17, 2013

They should try to get on the US Kickstarter.

Jito · Dec 17, 2013

Why do these kickstarter games always get a push at the last possible moment when it's clearly not going to make it? They should be marketing this stuff daily to get peoples attention. Such a shame looks good.

I'm sure they wish they could, but they can't apparently in Finland.

Found a source:

User: There are dosens of KSs from non american countries doing KS so thats a bad example. It just takes a bit more work/time/people to work with.
a_Oksaharju: Hey, yeah KS is not available to us directly. And as you pointed out all it takes is more work.

We considered it and came to the conclusion after consulting people who have done it that it would be a too big of an hassle for us at this stage, work and money wise. So carefully considering the options we concluded that the platform will not be an issue. Those who want to support us will do so regardless if were on KS or Indiegogo. Both are well known.

Chairmanchuck · Dec 17, 2013

Pledged.

Shit, I thought it already got enough money. I mean you have worse projects on KS that have like 200.000-300.000$.

Sad to see it's not even half funded and only a week more to go

That's unfortunate :\

It might be a big hassle, but it'd be better than getting no money.

Saty · Dec 17, 2013

That's the first time i hear they started a crowd funding campaign. They said they are going to in the interviews after the first gameplay video was released but i had no idea they are already in a middle of one.

Patrickv27 · Dec 17, 2013

That's soooo beautiful.

It'll be too bad if they don't make it, but I agree that the extra effort is worth to get this on kickstarter if you've looked at the highest backed indiegogo campaigns.

UnrealEck · Dec 17, 2013

Nothing about this game seems to impress me or interest me. The gameplay that's been shown just doesn't look very fun, engaging or interesting as a puzzle game.

DemonCleaner · Dec 17, 2013

awesome. shut up and give them your money.

Yeah it needs a hook that isn't just the puzzles. It needs character and it cannot just be a written narrative. I think that it won't be funded but it should not stop them from keeping going and maybe get a third party involved who might bring some character to the story. What made portal was not just the puzzles but GLaDOS herself and the companion cube that you suddenly cared about in the game.

I really hope this game gets off the ground.

Poetic.Injustice · Dec 17, 2013

Should have went to Kickstarter, Regardless of the hassle. Indie go games tend to be low profile in general.

Wouldn't it be smart to show some actual puzzle solving?

subversus · Dec 17, 2013

2 people not including outsourced modelling.

why the hell indiegogo? go KS if you want fixed funding.

edit: oh, I see why.

Whompa · Dec 17, 2013

next gen pop in.

Looks great though, honestly.

Haunted · Dec 17, 2013

Lighting engine is just nuts.

The gameplay teaser is in the running for trailer of the year, imo.

That could be done "last gen, just look at Routine.

BraXzy · Dec 17, 2013

I understand that it would be a big hassle to get on Kickstarter but I honestly think, with a well done campaign, that the game would get funded and then some on KS. IndieGoGo just isn't as big and popular is it?

sflufan · Dec 17, 2013

I had absolutely no idea that they had begun a crowd funding campaign for this project

sflufan · Dec 17, 2013

Oops!

Reckless Onion · Dec 17, 2013

So the puzzle elements are like the clank segments in Crack In Time? Interesting, i liked them puzzles.

Me neither, even though I was extremely hyped for it and browse GAF daily.

No wonder they are having issues reaching the goal.

That could not be done 'last gen'.

Routine is a PC game and is not even released yet.

:/

Anyways, this wont make it and that sucks. I'd seen bits of this game before but had no idea it was undergoing a crowdfunding effort. They didn't seem to do a good job of getting the word out about that, it seems.

Asgaro · Dec 17, 2013

I was also planning to make a thread about this today after seeing they needed help.

I pledged as soon as it started but they didn't really do good at marketing it ...
I don't get it, it's just a matter of sending news submits to tons of game news sites and keeping active on a Facebook page or something.
I just sent a news submit to vg247.com in hope they make an article around it.

Also, to OP:
wouldn't it be best to post the Gameplay Tutorial at the top of your post? I think that that's the best trailer to get people hyped.

AnnTiPa · Dec 17, 2013

Well, at least there's an article on Kotaku now. I really hope this will make it.

Looks like it'll have Oculus Rift support too.

Kreunt · Dec 17, 2013

I wonder if trying to do crowdfunding so close to christmas is a bad idea?

Durante · Dec 17, 2013

Kreunt said:

I think doing a crowdfunding campaign without sufficient media coverage never works, regardless of when you launch it. This could still make it, it just needs to get the right coverage (quickly).

Anyway, I'm in for 45. I really want this to get made.

That sounds like a good idea, don't people get in the donating goodwill mind around this time?

I could bold it, if people are missing out on it

Aaron · Dec 17, 2013

If they were going to launch crowdfunding, they probably should have told someone... anyone.

-SD- · Dec 17, 2013

Well, I tried to tell GAF, but you folks just didn't care.

Can't really blame them, the game itself didn't get picked up in many other websites to have GAFers crawling in. Just goes to show, marketing is a huge part of indie development.

I will not understand why developers decided to launch crowd-funding campaigns in the midst of the next-gen console launch cycle.

The oxygen in the room will be sucked up so why try to compete with that?

Messofanego · Dec 17, 2013

"[Players will be traveling] on a fictional island in the Galapagos archipelago. It's an open-world environment roughly 16 square kilometers in size."

That's cool to know, from the Kotaku article.

endresults · Dec 17, 2013

I've been wanting this game since that first lighting teaser. The fact that it's just two guys makes it that much more impressive.

GenericBadGuy · Dec 18, 2013

I would like this to be made, so hopefully it gets a lot of exposure very soon. I'm also happy they posted the music for their trailers.

The music is up there with the Dead Island stuff. Really sells the "sad lonely" part of this robot hehe
