This is kind of where I'm at, rather pay twice to get it up to $250 than pay it all at once.
Yeah, I was sad when I went to check out and they didn't take Discover. D'oh! ;p

Nice job! I pledged at 150 a while ago. I'll rest easy tonight.

Man, they could have funded this thing without a publisher. I really hope they get that publisher scratch on top of this kickstarter money and can really bang out a game that will be a must play for this generation. Will buy for PS4/PS Vita.

If I was currently employed, I would have.
LMAO talking about cocaine and a fuck you. Bro got too drunk.
I was thiiiiiis close to up-pledging to $300, despite not being comfortable in the funds just yet. Thankfully, I resisted. I'll definitely upgrading my pledge when it becomes available, though. I need that signed collectors box.
Also, great work everyone. Incredible accomplishment we have here.

See you fuckers in 2017
LMFAO. We will be seeing each other whenever there is an update. Also, there will be the prequel games and the beta(s). It'll go by fast!
What an awesome success for IGA.
The minimum price of entry was higher than usual, and you had to pledge $60 to get the "backer content", so yeah. I guess that's the trick now, no more $15/$20 KS projects.

Hey, I'm still going to do it! Just not right now. ;_;
Honestly, if the CDN dollar wasn't as bad as it is, I would have had no problem doing it. The USD --> CDN conversion doesn't help things. Ironically, if it were YEN --> CDN it would be so much better, seeing as to how the weak YEN kind of balances out our weak CDN dollar.

Kinda had the same problem. Could only afford 60 for now. Might up it later if I can.
I'll see how things go.

I think more then anything, it was the constant updates, and the 'backer achievements' that did it. That got a ton of word out, and that translated into people opening their wallets.
I noticed that Bards Tale just started their own achievements as well. Still surprised that one hasn't hit funded status yet.

2 years isn't unreasonable, cause Inti's been able to deliver new games in short time frames before.
But UE4 is likely new tech for a lot of them, there are a lot of release platforms, the stretch goals seem like scope creep to me, and this is a brand new game rather than simple sequel work so could take a while longer.
I had complete faith they'd hit the original goal, just based on how similar Kickstarters went down in the past. Castlevania's definitely been more like Mega Man or Torment in regards to vocal fanbases than Ultima Underworld or Quest for Glory, and their spiritual successors still got funded.
No way did I expect it to hit $5.5 million though, figured it'd end at around MN9's level.

yes please let us all move along to the Bards Tale now okay guys thanks.
But really IGA is a likeable guy and they had a bunch of livestreams so it is real easy to spend more on this campaign than others. I mean he got put in mobile hell and has had to deal with Konami for 10+ years.
Crazy campaign... and now the wait. I wonder how long into development they roll the beta out, though.
They're still taking pledges through PayPal -- $28 to $500. So anything $60 and up will get you the KS-exclusive stuff.
I always thought some of the bigger gaming Kickstarters underpriced their baseline tiers, and this pretty much affirms that.The minimum price of entry was higher than usual, and you had to pledge $60 to get the "backer content", so yeah. I guess that's the trick now, no more $15/$20 KS projects.

Final chart! Look at that spike.

I think a lot of people are pretty played out on inXile lately, I mean I funded both Wasteland 2 and Torment, I think I've given them enough money. Also Bard's Tale isn't nearly as recognizable a name as the previous two title they put on KS, that probably hurts them as well.

Tempted to go back through the thread and find everyone who was telling me they doubted it would make {incredibly low in retrospect stretch goal X}

Wait, so if you only pledged 28 dollars you don't get access to any of the extra features? Like multiplayer, or the rogue dungeon etc. etc.

Okay cool. Are the PS4/Vita versions cross-buy? What about the retail copies?
