[Diablohead]

I have the feeling all goals will be met for some reason

no doubt lol, we shall see though.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Hey Y2Kev, could I ask for a tite change to let people know the Kickstarter has, uh, started?

 

[NihonTiger90]

The goal is going to be met in the next 10 minutes, never mind the top of the hour, lol.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I really hope it at least gets to 435k, all that stuff sounds great. Hopefully the minecarts won't be like DK64 lol.

 

[Linkhero1]

I have the feeling all goals will be met for some reason

Considering the console versions are their end-goals, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Ithil]

The design is plain and stuck in the 90's.

Can't say I'm enamored with the 2010's designs so what's the issue?

 

[Chuck]

I want this so much.

You should update the thread title saying the kickstarter is live.

 

[whatevermort]

quietly optimistic it will hit the £175k

It's on 135k after 25 minutes. I don't think it's going to have any problems there.

 

[Star Falcon]

Pledged! First time backing a Kickstarter for me.

£130k funded at time of writing... insanely fast!

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

BACKED!

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I think that I am in the opposite of many, I think the same and especially the art style is absolutely horrendous. I mean it could have been Bubsy-Gex and even that would have had more charm. Also the gameplay shown on the videos look really dull, but that's expected after so short development time.

 

[zephervack]

Is the 64 bit edition a N64 cartdrige flash drive? probably not real size right.

 

[reKon]

Need to hit that 665k for the local multiplayer

 

[Kouriozan]

Aaaand backed, the very first Kickstarter I'm fully supporting.
The thirst is real indeed.

 

[Flarin]

You guys, I think I need help. I can't stop listening to "Jungle Challenge." I'm gonna break the replay button! Seriously though, some God-tier music there. The full soundtrack should be incredible.

 

[maxcriden]

Collect-em-up 2.0: A roster of shiny collectibles with gameplay progression at their core (as well as other, more valuable materials). Every collectible type in our new game will expand gameplay in a meaningful way. Yes, we employ the man responsible for DK64's myriad of trinkets, but we've had a stern word. Our main collectible, Pagies, are used to unlock and expand new worlds in Yooka-Laylee.

LMAO.

 

[PhoenixSFT]

HOLY SHIT THE DAVID WISE SONG. I feel like a kid again!

Jungle World is literally a Banjo Kazooie song with a few slightly different instruments, but Jungle Challenge is pretty catchy.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Whos paying for this game to get made? Theyre asking for 250k, which is impossibly low for a game like this, so are they getting funding from somewhere else?

 

[Hero of Legend]

Considering the console versions are their end-goals, I wouldn't be surprised.

They're happening regardless, the 1m goal just makes it simultaneous.

 

[Xater]

Yeah this will probably hit the console stretchgoal easily. Good stuff.

 

[Netprints]

Back, first game I backed on kickstarter...lets see how this ends up.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I haven't seen a kickstarter get backed so quickly since the Little Witch Academia 2 one.

 

[YianGaruga]

Whos paying for this game to get made? Theyre asking for 250k, which is impossibly low for a game like this, so are they getting funding from somewhere else?

It's pretty much a placeholder goal. They obviously expected to get way more.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

Dude, it's getting there, don't worry AT ALL about that.

 

[Rich!]

I want to back

I am backing

 

[wwm0nkey]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

Simultaneous release, they are happening but not at the same time if the goal isn't hit

 

[FloweryMarston]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

if the kickstarter is funded we will get the console versions, the 1 million is for simultaneous release.

 

[Gartooth]

Just finished reading over their page. Love the music and video footage they gave along with the trademark Rare humor.

I've pledged 65 pounds / $87 for now but I may up it again to over $100 in the future. That N64 cart is such a tease.

 

[dancrane212]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

They'll happen regardless if that goal is hit or not. That is to have those versions launch day-and-date with the PC release.

Beaten like this kickstarter goal will be.

 

[Dimentionalist]

If I had a spare $5,000 laying around I would totally spring for that VA backer reward but holy SHIT did this take off faster than I thought it would. And it's only the first day! So happy to see that the love for the 3D platformer and the Rare games of yore are still alive and well.

 

[vgamer1]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

Console versions are all confirmed regardless of stretch goal, the stretch goal will verify they all release with the same features on the same day.

 

[Nosgoroth]

30 minutes, 150k. It will hit its goal before the 40m mark. I want a timely "holy shit" comment from Playtonic!

 

[Kouichi]

That David Wise track makes me want to cry. It's Tropical Freeze with a dash of Diddy Kong Racing sprinkled throughout oh my goodness i can't

Just backed $46 for the Digital Deluxe Edition. This is the first game I've ever supported on Kickstarter. I need it.

 

[hydruxo]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

It's on all platforms no matter what, but the 1m stretch goal is for a simultaneous day one release on all platforms. If they don't hit that then it'll be spread out release, with PC coming first.

 

[YianGaruga]

30 minutes, 150k. It will hit its goal before the 40m mark. I want a timely "holy shit" comment from Playtonic!

I would love to see a live stream from their offices right now

 

[LuuKyK]

 

[Ronan_Berthelot]

A console Digital edition for me, thank you sir.

 

[Linkhero1]

They're happening regardless, the 1m goal just makes it simultaneous.

Ahh. I see. I wasn't sure.

 

[kewlbot]

the backer rewards are really sweet here
you get a lot of bang for your buck and a lot of great choices
they really handled this campaign well!

 

[BlackRainbowFT]

I bet that the average backer is around 30 years old, with a rather low standard deviation.

 

[blacksark]

We have to beat mighty no 9!!

 

[Shard]

There is a hunger for 3D platformers, this is good, very good indeed. I miss the genre.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

And backed! Can't wait to play this game.

 

[muteki]

Bumped my pledge to get the demo.

Sandbox sounds fun.

 

[Kouriozan]

Hehehe.

 

[Mango The Magician]

Amazing. XD

 

[Wiggy]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

1 mill Pounds not Dollars so ~1.5 mill dollars

 

[Beelzebufo]

I bet that the average backer is around 30 years old, with a rather low standard deviation.

lol so they have money to back with!

 

[Blooddimond]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

The console versions are coming regardless, the stretch goal is simultaneous release.
