Kludgey Posted March 29, 2017 Fantastic news - I love everything about amnesia fortnight, really looking forward to seeing this year's pitches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KestrelPi Posted March 30, 2017 I think it's a really smart idea to have half of the pitches chosen by DF - one by Tim and the rest by the rest of the staff. Before I've felt like there have been pitches which would probably be a really good thing to prototype, but aren't the sort of thing that is going to get votes, and this gives them a fighting chance to be rescued. The biggest issue with AF I think is that it encourages a Kickstarter-style niche populism, that is, ideas that sound good to a certain group of people on paper. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but there are games that will never do well in that environment. I always remember the Dum Sim game from a few years back and thinking 'well that sounds like a really great idea to prototype but it's not going to win', and I could tell Tim liked it too when he was reviewing the pitches.
