And this is a problem, because people were going to want to buy it just because it featured HBCUs. The band features are nice, but they are WAY too difficult to have any fun with, and really don’t matter in the scope of the game’s poor production.
It’s a shame that Nerjyzed played on our yearning for such a game, to put out just anything and expect folks to support it.
I promise you, the game designers were the least of the problems. They were competent and designed a great game behind the scenes, but management cut GAMEPLAY features for more gimmicks and nonsense to make this game into a “African Americans are gonna want to buy it because its made by African Americans for African Americans”. Notice in there, it says nothing about making it for African American Gamers….
I believe that there was some funding tied to the idea of training new designers. Still, it doesn’t appear to be the best managed idea, or company.
Dummies, great idea, horrible execution – there are experienced game design companies to do the project right. All you had to do was oversee their work.
