Previously backed this creator's crowdfunding project
Hi eveyone at Games Omnivorous and Exalted Funeral, I'm happy to see that project's going to fund soon, but it really took a while. So, I thought about what would have helped me to decide more easily (I did back the project, but still ...), which I would like to share with you. I haven't played The Job before, but it looks like a really fun idea. This indie RPG seems to something between an usual RPG and a boardgame. I can't quite imagine how it plays and perhaps that's the case for many more people who followed the preview page of the campaign (there were way more than 1.000). I think the campaign doesn not show enough from the game itself. Yes, the trailer is nice and atmospheric, but doesn't show the game at all. Yes, there's a free preview, but it's just the first few pages. You don't learn anything about the mechanis or how the game really plays. And people have to download it from EF. Why isn't it here? It's perhaps a too complicated user journey. Yes, I can see there's going to be lots of cool materials in the box, but you don't show me the game! There are almost no sample spreads from the book ot screenshots. So, personally, I feel like there is a marketing issue with this campaign. I don't say that to bash or shame you. I'm trying to share helpful thoughts. For me, the single most helpful thing to really jugde if I want to back this would be a fun actual play video. You say that a scenarion should run for 3h. That's doable in an actual play. Play the game, show us the creativity, and the unique mechanics! I feel like that would interest many more people. And if that's not possible anymore for whatever reasons, at least share some screenshots of sample spreads with your USPs from the game itself. I hope this is helpful. If not, I'm sorry. I hope will see those stretch goals fund, too. Best, Alexander
