Wow they reached their goal what a comeback !!! congratulations to everyone who backed the game.
Wasn't going to make the goal anyway.
Sadly, THAT is not happening.

Yeah, local multiplayer is in the base plans, as is online leaderboards and presumably ghosts.
That's what, $350k for online multiplayer -- and that's only part of the budget? I know videogames are expensive, but that seems really high... I would have figured it would have been 100-200k or something. Do they need to hire 3-4 more engineers for that? That ends up coming out to what, half of the regular game's budget?
Eh, I shouldn't worry. If they hit it, that's cool, and if they don't, we can all still FreQ the hell out.

So they said that there's still online multi in the 750,000 game we're def getting.
But the asynchronous 4 player multi is the stretch?
Can someone explain that further for me, thanks

Yes, local multi is include and online leaderboard. The stretch goal is specifically for online head 2 head.
Writing netcode is expensive and difficult.

There won't be a Vita version
Did they say that in the stream?

Looks like he's beating that dog to death.
If the multiplayer is that much the Vita just wont make it.,

Same. Don't care about online, and w/ no Vita stretch goal, it looks like i'm holding at $35.
Hmxhenry: Do NOT anticipate VITA early on as a stretch goal. It's possible, but not likely. It would be VERY expensive.

Amazing ride. Hope a post release, Vita port if the game has a good run on the PSN
Well, if their first stretch goal is 1.125M for online multiplayer a Vita stretch goal is pretty much impossible to reach as it would be higher than that. Maybe Sony after release can then help port it?

I still see a VITA version without a stretch goal since they are making a PS3 version.
Call me naive, but I'm clapping for fairies here.

Shouldn't have even put up a stretch goal now you gave some fuel. Instead of congrats on getting it funded now all I read about is not getting the milk with the cookie too.

That's what I thought. Harmonix has never made a Vita game, and I'm assuming they'd basically have to spend money porting their PS3/4 engine down to run on a Vita.

Quick! There has to be a millionaire on GAF! Get the stretch goal!!
I'm not questioning that at all... but I've seen other projects add online functionality and while it's a pain in the ass to get right, it didn't cost half a million dollars (if we're going with the same ratio of funding for the main project). I think part of it is that if it is that expensive, I think the money would be better off used funding more tracks or a Vita port.
Interestingly enough, they have Dave Lang addressing this on stream right now... but it's Dave Lang. :V
I really wish the first stretch goal was a Vita version but you will be able to remote play on it atleast.
Im happy this shit got funded though. I will admit I was one who thought this had no chance. once I saw that there might be some hope, I chipped in. Thanx GAF for coming through though. Im sure we did help this project some what with word of mouth in this forum.

Then don't fret because it won't be in the game!

I'm just happy this is being made. Online multi or no. Might up my pledge to 200 still.
Just out of curiosity, have they confirmed that remixing will be a feature in the game as it stands right now? I spent just as much time remixing songs as I did playing the songs themselves, and I certainly hope that's a shoe in as I care about it more than I do multiplayer. I honestly can't remember if that's been discussed or not.

Hooray we did it! I'm ecstatic this got funded!
At first I was bummed about a Vita version seemingly being out of reach, but there's always remote play and that'll be good enough for me.
Me neither.

Gonna sleep, hope they archive the stream, if the funding period covered the weekend too it might've made it to the stretch goal.
People are underestimating the amount of art assets that would need to be radically altered to get their vision of this game to run on a Vita. They are obviously shooting for a pretty detailed look. It's not just about the engine, it's about the performance.
