Definately tame, and not prefer worth making a fuss about, but you can count me out. It looks very funny, but...No.

They just announced that the artist for the poster will be Reiq:

<broke your embedded image - let's keep it family friendly here, 'kay? --Janthkin>

Their are only a handful of artists that can really capture the nuance and emotional energy of huge pairs of glistening breasts with women attached to them. I'm glad they found one of these artists.

Hmm, Reiq really does good stuff.

New stretch goal added : 35k gets a Marie Claude midi added into the mix for the 100$ level / a la carte for the lower ones.

In other news, it appears Kickstarter is censoring their search results, Tentacle Bento cannot be found through their own search system.

It's like a dream come true.

Thats a shame, hopefully KS don't pull the project. Despite the bitching, there really isn't anything bad about the project.

I doubt it will be pulled, as it is this weeks "Staff pick of the week", though they did add in a disclaimer: "A note to our sponsors. Tentacle Bento is a mature themed product not intended for sale to children under the age of 17. In the long history of horrible combinations of tentacles and school girls, we have taken a cheeky satire look at the genre to create a silly, if not innuendo rich, product. We are firmly against the depiction of violence against women in any regards."

More ammo for our puritan forum users I guess..

I wish the next stretch goal was closer >.>


S.

At the rate it's been going it will probably be met by Friday. Looking forward to another mini! (Marie Claude Fan backer here).

edit : Just realised the 3rd stretch goal is labeled "Why so serious" haha!

N'Ferno wrote:edit : Just realised the 3rd stretch goal is labeled "Why so serious" haha!

Hahaha hadn't even seen that. That's great.
But yeah, would be cool if it's there before Friday.
Would be cool to know what the next 2 or so stretch goals would be
Might motivate people more ^^

S.

They've taken a ton of new backers over the past day, so word of mouth might be kicking in. On the other hand it seems to have attracted some bad internet press as well (surprises me it took that long tbh).

And BrookM, I don't see it in the Staff pick of the week at all. It's weird. Without any info from Kickstarter (as per Soda Pop) I get the impression they don't want to remove it but try to hide it under the carpet anyway lol

I hope they come up with something a bit more enticing/exciting, as to date none of the stretch goals have provided any additional motivation to increase my pledge.

yeah,
stretch two was a bit crap... I always hated holo cards when I played MTG.

Oh look my entire deck is normal except two cards... ppphpt!
Premium cards... you mean poopy cards.

Panic....

I always loved my Pokemon holos I was glad that there are holos, just a but
Crap that the goal wasn't closer or just included with the package anyway.


S.

I'd like to see more stuff added to the game for everyone, not just the backers. Even though I love extra swag

Edited for clarity.

N'Ferno wrote:I'd like to see more improvements to the base game myself. Even though I love extra swag

I hope your mean, extra to the game, like the girlfriend cards. I hope the base game dosen't need improvements. But, they got me for 40, might aswell have all 3 candy and cola miniatures. Wonder what the size is and if it is the same size as the Ralic Knight if it will have rules for it?

Well.

Soda Pop has suspended the Kickstarter. They have not yet commented as to why.

Here's some negative press:

Really?

This is the thing these folks have a rake up their ass sideways over?

Really?

It's like the whole thing over Penny Arcade's dickwolves joke when a new expansion of WoW came out... The flack it received was that it was promoting a culture of rape.

*sigh* I kind of liked this game. It seemed (as they advertised) cheeky...

Just had to giggle a little bit when I started to think about Tentacle Hentai and "stretch" goals.

I have those moments a lot when I feel both very happy and very dirty at the same time

Well that sucks.

N'Ferno wrote:Well that sucks. Way to go Kickstarter, way to go. Who's next? The Smut Peddler? Shame they missed Leisure Suit Larry, that one sailed away 10 days ago!

But it wasn't Kickstarter that did that, it was Soda Pop that suspended their kickstarter...

There's a Magic card that people got up in arms about because it was "implied rape", so this doesn't surprise me at all. It saddens me, and that first article is laughable, but that's what you get when people try to project labels onto things.

:(

Ah, I see now that I read their announcement again.

Why does this sadden you? Both articles seemed pretty level headed, I was definitely expecting something more hysterical. What is being projected on to this game concept? It's specifically about alien tentacle monsters raping teenage school girls. I'm not saying that its existence is going to warp innocent minds, but it is super fething creepy.

This was a fun tongue-in-cheek rip at a popular genre. Parody is not exploitation, and I would at least hope that the early success of the Kickstarter would convince Soda Pop Games to go ahead with it.

I sure love when people have nothing to do but complain about what others enjoy. Why is rape the only thing off limits these days? People have no issue with murder and you even make AIDS jokes now. What was the Southpark episode that tells the time limit on when something can be made fun of? Now back to nuking people in COD.
