I'm reading it as "the PC version will not be provided as physical", which makes sense. Vita version is one of the stretch goal items, so it should be included as well.

Ah. I see. Thanks for the clarification. Trying to convince some people to get it and one of them brought that up. Just wanted to get my facts straight before I replied. lol.
You can also choose between a Vita and Android digital copy. So you could end up with a physical Vita copy, digital PC copy, digital Android copy.
Yeah that might do it. Would be really neat to get the Figma! Hopefully they will update soon, although not sure if they will until after the weekend.

With how well this has done the past few days, it seems pretty likely to hit 900k now. It's looking like any decent late project surge will do it.
What's more impressive is that a lot of people are waiting to see if it'll hit the 900k stretch goal before increasing their tier to the one that'll get the physical CODEX. If they reach the last goal, the money will just keep coming.
That's pretty counter-productive: "I don't want to put more money down unless it hits 900k, but it's not hitting that amount yet". I mean, if worst comes to worst, they could always lower it on the last day if there's no chance that it'll make the goal.
A lot of people do that with Kickstarters, it's nothing new. People want to be sure before committing, even if they could help reach the stretch goal themselves.

Unless you're donating thousands of dollars, one particular pledge isn't going to make the difference. Hence if you're just looking at yourself, it makes sense to wait. And not everyone watches the Kickstarter everyday to track it, one of the reasons why Kickstarters get a late surge is because email notifications go out in the last 48 hours.
True... Still 8 more days until that email too. It still might actually be possible to get to that amount now, but we'll need an update about more info on Photo first, and then that last 48 hour push. Around $162k left to go...

So $10 for the codex, $30 for Photons when it comes to the add-ons.
Darn, nothing about it physical. Oh wells, the digital copy will do.
I think we can do this! I'm thinking about dropping $80 more to get both Vita and PC physical.
Good job! I'm looking more optimistic about it too.

Stories with choices do still fall under "pure VN" as long as there aren't other significant gameplay elements. That is, Steins;Gate is a pure VN (even if its choice system is unusual) while 999/VLR are not because of the puzzle rooms.
But anyway, I think I heard that the Muv-Luv VNs have choices, but they get more linear farther along in the trilogy as the story gets heavier. Someone who knows more can probably clarify.

Muv Luv Extra has your traditional VN style choices that lead into different character routes. Muv Luv Unlimited is mostly linear with choices that change dialogue and a few scenes, but doesn't alter the story very significantly. Muv Luv Alternative tells a completely linear story with no meaningful choices.

I just found out about this kickstarter and wow! what wonderful news. I'm a person who's not into anime, but promised a friend to play Muv Luv Extra/Unlimited/Alternative. After I finished Alternative, I pretty much got depressed for a week because my time with the series had ended. It was an incredibly emotional tour de force. I'll definitely consider contributing to the kickstarter.

I hope they release the physical codex separately at some point even if the stretch goal isn't met, remaining hopeful though!
At least the Sumika Figma is still buyable elsewhere.

What's the situation with this game and Europe. Know a few people who would love this game but aren't the type to do online funding.
The game will be released on Steam and EU PSN Store when it's ready.

And region doesn't matter for physical copies as PC/Vita are region free.

If your friends are wanting copies for the Vita you might want to convince them to fund it since it sounds like the physical release post-Kickstarter will be limited.
Although we don't know if they'll sell physical copies outside of the Kickstarter just yet, he mentioned his friends are wary of online funding.
Darn. Ah wells, everything else is good.
$127k left to gooooo!
It's gotta make it, especially with that last 2 day push.
Figmas for everyone I hope! (If you pitched in $150)
When the release the additional 100 $300 tier with the Raptor model kit, I'll be upping my backing to that tier + the $65 for the Takemikazuchi model kit as well. I wish they would also do the garage kits as add-ons because I would pay a pretty hefty amount for those as well.
Anyone know exactly how I would do the add-on by the way? Is it a button you click when increasing your backing?

Not exactly. What you do is increase your pledge to cover the cost of whatever additional addons you want. So if you are at the $150 tier and you wanted to add on the Takemikazuchi model for $65, you'd pledge $215 total.
Then, when the backerkit is sent out post-Kickstarter you'll select the addons you want until the excess funds added onto your pledge are either depleted or are no longer large enough to cover the cost of anything else.
Yep.
I just noticed, it was right there, in my face:
Either way, thanks! After Class of Heroes 2 Kickstarter that failed to meet its goal and the $1 I pledged for the Clannad Kickstarter, this is the first time I go all the way.

That's another function of backerkit.
