I haven't played the games but yes. The Muv-Luv trilogy is often regarded as one of the best, if not the absolute best, VNs ever made.
They're excellent. Just tough it out through the first game.

Muv-Luv is the most extreme example of a series that starts out bad at first and gets significantly better later on. The first game, Extra, is painfully generic, but a lot of the badness is intentional so if you can laugh at cheesy stupid high school love comedy hijinks you might legit enjoy it. The second game, Unlimited, is much better, but still nothing particularly special. The third, Alternative, is one of the greatest VNs of all time, but only really works on both an information level and an attachment-to-the-characters level if you played Extra and Unlimited.

Running out of time, not sure which tier to pledge to. >_>
I'm in the same boat. Can't decide between the 150$ and 220$ with the Codex
I believe at 150 you still get the digital Codex, so how important is having a physical copy to you?

I think my prediction of 1.2 mil is gonna come true.

Even a week ago I never would have though this would approach 7k backers. There's been a real surge of new backers, I wonder if some of the recent attention it's gotten from Reddit and such are behind it.
I mean, Degica's community manager literally said that physical releases on Vita aren't a risk at all.
His Twitter is locked.
Try now, I linked the cached page.

It's not an official statement to backtrack from, just the opinion of their community manager.
GAF I need your help! Haven't backed anything on Kickstarter yet and have no clue how this is supposed to work. I need to use the paypal payment option which kinda makes this even more obtuse. What do ;_;?
I want to back the 220$ tier with the physical PC collector's box and codex. Don't really have the time to read through all the details as I need to work all day tomorrow (crunch time for a milestone so I can't really take any time off for this) and will have like maybe 1-2 hours after work before the kickstarter ends. In these 1-2 hours I need to figure out what to do exactly and go through with it.
Has anyone backed this via paypal? Do I like just hit the pledge with paypal button and put in 220$ + 20$ worldwide shipping into the paypal payment and all is good? Anyways need to hit the sack to get a couple hours of sleep, thanks in advance for anyone helping!

I hate you. You made me fork out 160 dollars for no reason! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

Nothing specific beyond the last stretch goal. They did say they were planning another update with a video though.
Dunno if anyone cares but i got a response regarding Paypal payments.
Paypal will only be applied when the backerkit is released and then at that point you can apply to any tiers or addons that are still available.
So that means for someone like me who bought a limited tier paypal is a no go.

There is not too much time for doing that though... anyway I'm happy with the way they've made the kickstarter,but it's surprising hat they don't say almost anything towards the end

Finally pledged for the physical Vita tier ($80). Had to think about this a lot since it's quite a bit of money, but I went into Steins;Gate blindly since people kept saying it's one of the best VN's and I loved it. My hightest pledge to a KS was $15 before this lol
Can't miss out on those physical Vita copies and it's my birthday this month so that's my excuse.
I pretty much know nothing about this series but I guess I'll find out next year.

Just make sure to pledge so you can get access to the Backerkit. You can then upgrade/manage/etc. your pledge after the Kickstarter ends. It only costs a dollar, so there's little to no risk.
I'm pretty sure to do something like that you'll need to make a separate/second account.
If the tier you want is not listed as an add-on, I believe you'd need to make a second account.
What kind of game is Prison Girls?
I see. That's a bit of a hassle. Wish there was an easier way. I was thinking of getting the $80 Vita tier in addition to the $150 Vita tier, or even 2 of the $150 Vita tier since it's such a great value. Maybe this is a sign I shouldn't.
Anyways, thanks for the info, guys!

There's an actual story. The original PC version had some sex scenes, but they constitute an even smaller percentage of the games' total run time than Fate/Stay Night's. For this release they're going with the "release the porn-less version and offer a free patch to put the porn back in the PC version" route.
Very nice. My friend made it seem like one of those chibi pervert moe games so I was very confused why it made so much money on kickstarter.

The first one is a pretty by-the-numbers dating/moe sim. But it's necessary to get into and fully understand the later kickass sci-fi story.
You can get an Android code instead.

Well that just changes it from not likely to ever touch it to never guaranteed never using it then. I can't really stand playing anything on my phone for whatever reason.

Honestly don't care much about smart phones aside from the GPS helping me not get lost and money making calls.
The whole Android vs iOS thing seems silly to me.

I'm not going to use my phone to play a VN. Lol.
I feel bad for doubting it was going to get this far. I figured it was going to be 820k at max and when it blasted pass that and kept going it blew my mind.
$150 is the best value! You get more stuff in that than more collectors editions at the same price!

You know there are such things are tablets. They're nicer than the Vita when it comes to reading things.
Nope. Buttons all the way even for a VN.
Resting your finger is important.

Nah.
This is some vita fanboyism lol
Table should let your hand rest more from clawing nonstop

I disagree even if I don't like playing that method myself but there is options for either preference here at least anyways.

Why would anyone be upset at it reaching that much success? This is all pretty great.
Who's saying that?

I'm not seeing much of that, beyond the typical shitposting on /jp/, but even that's been mild.
