Yes June 2014 in Kickstarter time, which means this will actually release in September.
 
Question, so say I want this on PS4, but I know I won't own the console for months after getting sent my code. Should it be indefinitely redeemable, as long as it's not been activated all that time?
 
Something like a 'Wii U' stretched goal, won't that ginormously postpone the release for the other versions of the product?

That's my concern for a lot of these multiplatform goals. I know he's hired more people, but is that realistically enough to keep the intended release date on PS4, Vita and Wii U as well? I know very little about game development, but it seems ambitious to me.

Thanks a lot, Iwata.

:p

Alternately, won't the PS4/Vita release ginormously postpone the release of the PC version of the project? And for that matter, why can't I play it before it's developed? As a backer I demand being able to plug a controller directly into the creator's nostril and play this sucker via telepathy, like, right now! *pouts*
 
Will the $75 tier include the box and manual?

Confused cuz the add-on info says you'll need to add $35 in other tiers to get it.

Edit: Ah fuck it. Gonna get the alt Drifter. He's a KS only thing. I'll grab the box later if I want it.

The tiers contain exactly what they say they contain on the Kickstarter page. The add-ons are separate, and only there to allow you to add specific items to your order that aren't already covered by the description of your pledge tier.

Seems like it might only barely get to $600k. Its only gone up about $26k in the last 17 hours. This 'late surge' doesn't seem to be occurring.

Not that this is a bad thing. $600k is a huge amount considering he was only really hoping for $27k at the start.

$600K when starting at $27K is 2000% over what was needed for base funding.
 
One last thread title update?

Also, I think it will end around $675k, maybe $700,000. Don't see it doing more than $100k in a day.
 
Wow. How are they handling developing the game on so many platforms simultaneously? Or will some of the platforms just receive ports?
 
I pledged for $40 and didn't read I got 2 copies of the game with it until I saw it mentioned in this thread. I just wanted the digital artbook and soundtrack. Guess a friend of mine will now get a copy too!
 
I just saw this! It looks really good but all my money is tied up until the 15th god damniiiiiiittttttttt :(
 
Don't know if you guys mentioned this already but, this HAS to be an evangelion easter egg/evangelion inspired enemy right?

See that monster with the three skulls and the orange circle on its chest (near the bats)?

That HAS TO BE this guy:

I'd totally back this if there was a 3DS version...
 
Have they said if the tiers with multiple keys will include any backer exclusive DLCs (gold pack or alternate drifter) for each key?

I believe it's just for one account. Same with the beta access. Their Facebook account has an updated FAQ as their first post.
 
Why didn't Heart Machine give us another $50k-100k stretch goal?

Are they out of ideas for what to add? Not that I'm concerned since I know more money means better refinement.
 
I assume they're just out of ideas at this point. I would have preferred more stuff (loot, areas, mobs, etc) instead of a SNES demake, which is pointless.

This seems like a relatively simple game from a tech POV with its slightly souped up NES/SNES level-ish/style graphics, so getting it to run on multiple current-gen platforms shouldn't be too hard, right? Platforms that can run stuff like Rayman Legends @ native res/1080p@60fps & Killzone Mercenary shouldn't have too much problem running this game, me thinks, meaning they don't necessarily have to spend a huge time just getting this thing running on all of these platforms and they can probably get these to run decently well without too many months required for optimization.
 
Added $5 to my $10 PC-build tier solely for the OST, because honestly, Disasterpeace's name on the project is what got me to check it out in the first place.
