Going up fast now went from $417k to $426k.

 

[Kumubou]

How much do I have to donate to keep Crazy Ride OUT of Amplitude?

It'll probably end up being some random dubstep remix... I don't know if that makes it better or worse.

It seems like it's jumped up another 10k in the last couple of hours... but it's still not going to happen...

Spoiler

is it?

And yeah, I'm optimistic now. I may jump in on this new special tomorrow.

 

[FLEABttn]

Well, I'm in for $100.

Speaking of, Colbert has a song in Rock Band, maybe he'd be willing to do a tiny plug for this?

 

[iceatcs]

$10,000 done. I'm the 2nd person.

Just kidding. $22.

 

[Darknight]

Lol at backers doubling down.

Each person should donate $1000 already, haha.

 

[TAJ]

I hate Kickstarter with a passion but I just backed this.

What's wrong with backers doubling down?

We want the game made.

 

[BearPawB]

wasn't going to back it...i never have played amplitude. But put $20 bucks down because i really think this should succeed. I dont like sad John Drake

He looked like he was having a rough time on the livestream.

There is a tier that lets you vote on which songs you want in the game I think

 

[KissVibes]

$10,000

Thanks for the heads up.

I like Insomniac but that song is fuckin' awful. Sorry to those that want it in the game, for whatever reason.

I'll put up with it if it helps it get funded

I'm hoping this is just a joke, but if not, those who donated $7,500 are going to have their song in the game as bonus content. There's no way to stop this from happening and screw over those backers. And personally, I'd rather have ten godawful bonus songs if it means this game gets funded and can exist.

 

[Grief.exe]

You don't like innovation? Developers skirting the broken publishing system to appeal right to the consumers?

OK then.

 

[N.Domixis]

Insomniac should give them the most iconic ratchet and clank song if there is one.

It's obviously a joke, but I got curious and looked up the song.

It's pretty awful. But hey, if it means it'll get funded - cool.

 

[Papercuts]

The charts for this are interesting. Day one had 3.6K people donating 125K and while today is the second highest grossing afterward (88K) it's from 523 people. Day two had 965 and made 34K.

It needs to maintain the amount it made today each of the remaining days to get funded, but I don't know how sustainable it got here mainly from big amounts being dropped by less people.

They don't own any of that.

It's obviously a joke.

With that said, I think the song is 100% garbage and unfunny and would rather buy a game without it's inclusion.

Lets not hate him, helped the game get funded!

 

[EktorPR]

Upped my pledge from $40 to $70... Really hoping this trend catches up.

 

[JayEH]

I think this will make it.

 

[Vire]

350K to go in three days? I dunno guys...

 

[djplaeskool]

dat momentum

 

[Angelcurio]

I just pledged $20. It's my first ever backed KS project. I have never played Amplitude either, but i'm a huge fan of Harmonix and rythm games in general, since Boost a Move/Groove days, Parappa the Rapper, Guitar Hero and RockBand. More diversity in the console space is never a bad thing.

[Jeff-DSA]

Backed.

 

[KalBalboa]

Harmonix Twitter:

Just saying. We've raised 87k today . If we can do that for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday , and Friday, THIS THING WILL BE BACKED

 

[BeardyChan]

I backed this on day one, but I've been underwhelmed by the communities lack of backing. There is no way this will get funded if we all don't try and donate a little more. Even if it doesn't unlock another tier of goodies and extra few dollars could go a long way. It also helps keep the kickstarter momentum going in the right direction, instead of stalling out.

 

[Wario64]

They actually need to more than that per day to get it backed (friday being closed in the middle of the day)

Looks like it's finally gotten that momentum though, gonna be close!

The final day is usually a big one, especially compared to the preceding few. It's got a fighting chance.

 

[Deadstar]

Just backed it. Can't wait to play this, it's going to be awesome. These kickstarters always get a huge surge at the end. Personally I always wait until the last few days.

 

[SweetTeddie]

John Drake deserves some credit for getting this thing back on track (hopefully). He's been all over the place promoting it.

 

[Corpekata]

Hopefully they have one final big update or surprise, that might be the kick in the pants needed toward the end.

 

[SkoomaSuckinSwit]

Backed, after Seamus Blackley's Twitter post, lol

I want to avoid karmic entropy.

[Spine_Ripper]

Let's stop being negative Nancy's and back this shit!

Man, I feel like if this was the punchline of the Giantbomb PAX panel this would've been funded in a matter of days. Shenmue, Shenmue, Windjammers, Amplitude, Shenmue!

 

[Neuromancer]

Some heavy hitters promoting this game.

This whole thing may have been just crazy enough to work.

 

[Wereroku]

I am going to back this in the morning solely because of how tired drake looks. Plus the game looks fun.

[jondabomb]

Just backed $15 and got the last of the Early Backer price tier rewards. I've never backed anything on kickstarter before, but if anyone deserves my money its Harmonix. I've spent so many hours enjoying rock band and have never even played amplitude before.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Not going to lie, I want to back this so hard, but I usually wait until the last minute to back anyway lol.

I have to say I am not a fan of games like this but I do support what the devs are trying to do here.

 

[reminder]

Ok guys, i've never played Frequenzy or Amplitude. I've watched some gameplay videos on Youtube recently because of this Kickstarter and i still have no idea if this is a game for me. But screw it, i'll back this today just for the sake of it. Seeing how people here are hyped for this project, especially after yesterdays announcement, is reason enough for me to contribute.

 

[Mrbob]

So you're telling me there's a chance. Nice rebound for the Amplitude kick starter. Super impressive if this gets funded. Now that it looks like this may happen I'll have to back it myself.
