Kickstarter is taking ages to load. Did we broked it?

 

[StopMakingSense]

less than 2k!

 

[Brick]

Good thing this doesn't stop at any set amount. I want to donate, but can't 'till I get paid.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I now want an Adventure game with RTS Elements, thanks a lot Double Fine :/

My brain hurts from trying to understand how that would work.

 

[jett]

sheeit 2k away

 

[wonzo]

just under 2k left

 

[Corto]

Crazy that with 26,000 sales this game would have been considered a huge flop at retail but is instead the most successful Kickstarter ever. This is a weird industry

That crossed my mind earlier. Crazy times!

[Omikaru]

If this thing winds up with 26,000 sales after launch then I guess you have a point.

It has 26,000 sales by default, since everyone chipping in is effectively buying a copy.

And wow. That $1m mark is so deliciously close. This is so amazing.

 

[Mabase]

Can we set up a Kickstarter for Shigesato Itoi so that he can make Mother 4?

Please?

Unfortunately I think money is not the issue, isn't it that he just doesn't want to do it?

....
I'd sell my liver instantly...

 

[Garcia]

Lmao feels like New Year's countdown haha.

 

[StopMakingSense]

lol under 1k!

 

[JABEE]

THE TIME IS NOW

 

[wonzo]

The money doesn't get taken out until the 33 days are up You can donate now and be safe in the knowledge that you have 33 days to get the mony

Same for me too. Everyone is probably F5'ing.

Fake Edit: omg 999,069

 

[A Human Becoming]

After passing one million, the next goal should be to pass this as the highest amount raised of all time. Won't be difficult.

 

[Sciz]

That's awesome! I'm glad there are people who actually did research into the costs. That's all I'm arguing anyways, what are the actual costs they're predicting?

They predicted costs of $300k to cover their own staff, plus another $100k for 2PP. They damn well weren't expecting to rake in 2.5x that much in 24 hours. They've already promised to roll as much of the excess as possible back into production values and ports. I very highly doubt that the possibility of taking in more money than they can actually spend had occurred to them when they were planning this. If that actually does end up being the case, then that's a fair question to ask, but they can't answer that until they sit down and figure out how high the game's budget can actually go.

So, y'know, relax. Business takes time.

 

[The M.O.B]

Posting for a Milli!!!!!!!

 

[Instro]

So close

 

[Vire]

Goddamn, almost a million... wow.

 

[Lime]

Ladies & Gentlemen, we just reached the million dollar mark

 

[Orayn]

Down the rabbit hole.

 

[SaltyDoughnut]

pretty please will they re-release Grim Fandango if we hit a certain goal?

 

[JABEE]

$999,968

 

[Carl]

Kickstarter is well and truly fucked but it has to be $1million now

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

1 million. It feels like a new world record, and it probably is for pledge money projects.

Holy shit.

 

[wonzo]

shit the website's crashed lol

 

[DieH@rd]

pretty please will they re-release Grim Fandango if we hit a certain goal?

Go and ask Lucas Arts, they own it.

 

[Akia]

kickstarter died

 

[Zoibie]

Woooo! Here's to the next million!

 

[Danthrax]

After many 500 errors, the page finally loaded for me... $1 million as of 6:43!

Europe is definitely donating hard, I had a shower and the total went up by 11,000. This will break a million within the week.

I bet it'll break $1 million within 24 hours of this thread being posted.

[Keasar]

[catabarez]

Pop the champagne!

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

That would take more money. But who knows.

 

[V_Ben]

HO-LY-SHIT. They actually made a million dollars. That's fucking incredible.

 

[JABEE]

Will Kickstarter be around to fund Double Fine when all of this is over?

 

[Akia]

Today we made history ladies and gentlemen.

1 MILLION DOLLARS in less than 24 HOURS with only 26,000 BACKERS

 

[Instro]

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Fuck, I can't get a single response from the site! I had to call that preemptively!

Fantastic day. In less than a day, everything's been changed.

 

[Ryan_IGN]

$1 million dollars. Holy crap! AND the Kickstarter page appears to now be broken from all the traffic.

It's just like you told me when you were nice enough to sign my original Full Throttle box, Mr. Schafer:

STAY METAL, YOU BAD MOTHERF****R.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Holy fucking shit.

 

[Mistle]

website is down for me. congrats though! lol
