Support added.
To be fair it probably does stop some of the troll contributions you see on kickstarter.

I hope the guest characters have their leitmotifs in some fashion. Maybe when they first appear, even if it's only a 15 second clip. Honestly I just want to hear Hiroki Kikuta's take on Strike The Earth.
That's what happened with Shenmue I think, someone grabbed of the highest kickstarters with one available and dropped out last minute.

Wasn't that someone on GAF? I thought I remember someone posting that they accidentally grabbed the $10k jacket, and ended up removing the pledge shortly thereafter.

I've seen a fair number of kickstarters fail from last minute pull outs from troll donators, like Dimension Driver.

Has happened with other Kickstarter. Dimension Drive had only 30 minutes left when a troll pulled his 7k pledge, causing the campaign to fail. Thankfully, their second KS was successful
It was really messed up because the devs had been livestreaming their reaction and were so happy to finally reach their goal

That's the thing, the troll made a pledge using a fraudulent payment method that got flagged by the Kickstarter automated system and it was eventually denied, 30 minutes before the goal end. That's the only way it can be pulled off.
This probably happened.
I very much want to do this, but it might need to be part of the "More Music" stretch goal.

That'd be cool, like Batman: The Animated Series
He looks really Garo/Kamen Rider Beast-y I noticed.

Finally went in for the $60 tier, excited to have a physical copy of this great looking game. I really hope it reaches the goal!
I'll be putting down another 30 next time I get paid, that's not a lot I know, but every little bit helps and all that. Admittedly I am a bit worried by just HOW MUCH the campaign slowed down after hitting a million. I figured some of that was inevitable, but that it'd pick back up after a few days.
Hopefully that still happens, because while the bulk of funding will come in the final ten days, they closer they are to reaching the goal before that point the less hairy it'll be.

Funding's stalled. *hits the media exposure emergency button*

Probably doesn't help that people are eyeing Black Friday sales as well. Going to be a juggling act to balance what I want to pick up on BF with upping my pledge a bit.

I must say, following this campaign is a lot more stressful than following Bloodstained's was. <_< Hopefully, after Indivisible is released, it will push Lab Zero to IGA-like status and then their next crowdfunding effort will meet its goal on day 1.

If they get $10k/day until the last week, they'll be at around 75% total funding. Projects that get that close with a week left to go almost always meet the goal due to a final push. I wouldn't worry much.

really didnt think this was happening because of how slowly it got to 500k.
but i think at this point its guaranteed to reach its goal. indiegogo charges at the time of pledge and the creator i think gets the funds immediately.
so indiegogo would lose such a large amount of money if they had to refund all these charges and messy as hell so they'll probably keep extending the deadline if they have to.

No, this is the only extension they get. The funding will pick up in the final few days
The Thunderclap will reach 400,000+ people. That should help

I'm not worried about the game reaching it's goal, but I am a little bummed that it might not reach many, if any, stretch goals. A lot of Skullgirls' were really cool and I'd hate to see a ton of rad ideas not be implemented.
Indiegogo has a feature called InDemand, which is basically a formalized "slacker backer" system.
So while it doesn't seem likely we'll get many stretch goals during the length of the campaign, we can try to fund those with the post-campaign period.

That was to be expected once the 20 day extension happened. Hopefully it picks you in the final week as most funding campaigns make most of their money then. However, it kinda already went through a final week phase already so not sure what the precedent is for a second final week surge.
Is there any time limit to the InDemand system?
You mentioned before that stretch goals would not change the game itself but build upon them, so that you can first finish the game as planned within the time announced, and everything else would come afterward. Doesn't that basically mean InDemand could theoretically run until the core game goes gold?
No, there is no time limit for InDemand.
We'll probably keep most of the current tiers the same for a bit, and then drop down to digital only tiers.
And even the stuff that is mostly outsourced still will require some additional work from us, so we can't go right up to the game's ship date like that. But we could probably do it for 12-15 months and be fine.
With regards to hiring freelancers for additional clean-up and animation duties, will you have a clean-up test for potential candidates to work and submit, sort of similar to the one that you guys did for the Skullgirls DLC Characters? Any additional job positions (BG, Character Rotations, etc?), as well?

Only 10k left for another incarnation. Can't wait for some steam punk or golfing madness.
Getting Indivisible alone is a huge win on it's own. That alongside their new publishing arrangement with 505 games is pretty much a dream come true compared to SG's situation.
If we need to hire more clean-up contractors, it'll be a similar process to before.
Not sure if they're going to do this right away. But whenever it happens, we'll announce it on Twitter and Facebook, etc.

Looks like it slowed down a ton since the extension. Going to need a big last minute push to hit the goal.
Yeah, which was expected. Maybe not quite to this extent, though.
Looks like we may have another big crossover happening before the end of the campaign, and we're going to put the prototype on Steam to make it even easier for everyone to get.
Last week or couple of days will be the real test.

I love how hard you guys have been hustling on this campaign. Every single avenue you can grind out you take, and it's pretty heartening to see.
If we manage to hit our goal, no one will say we didn't work for it, that's for sure.

I want Red from Transistor in this sooo bad. Shantae would be awesome too. Can't wait to hear about it if there is another crossover!

Good luck to you guys. You've made it this far. You guys are really fighting, so it's gonna happen.
OMG! Yes Red!
Also what about the Cosmic Star Heroine protag? The developer is right here on gaf!
