Massive, MASSIVE fail on Obsidian's part of not having a stream of celebration when the $3.5M mark has been reached. Even more fail that they did not update the KS page yet.
It's like they do not care (now) when they cared in the past.

Maybe they're all dead from massive heart attacks.
They did call the "Big City 2" stretch goal final a few times, so maybe it really is?
It's partially voiced, like Fallout or BG. Only key scenes/lines.

I think they said it'll be like BG where a few lines are voiced to give the characters more personality.

So hilarious. This post, right here, is so hilarious.
1. Why would you have a video to celebrate $3.5million when you have quite a few hours left for it to end?
2. Who says they are not updating KS as we speak?
3. Maybe they're brainstorming on what to provide us for the next minor stretch?
4. Maybe they are sleeping cause they were awake last 5 or 6 hours ago, and it's 8am?!
Nah, a few hours ago before they all went to sleep they were asking on Twitter for suggestions of what people want to see for a stretch goal beyond that. They also updated the image to add the castle at the end. They'll add something for sure, but... it probably won't be something major.
I was kinda hoping for a stretch goal to have David Warner voice the bad guy.
How? Nobody is calling the Kickstarter a failure. From what I've seen people are just surprised Obsidian haven't acknowledged they've hit the final stretch goal and set the next one they hinted at, considering there are less than 10 hours left to try and hit that goal.
I don't see what's wrong with people thinking that.
MASSIVE FAILURE that they didn't have a stream of celebration for 3.513 Mil.
Yeah, I believe they made it clear that going fully voiced wasn't practical for the kind of game they wanted to make, even if they did have the luxury of an AAA budget.
But they said yesterday that they were debating over an additional stretch goal since $3.5M already seemed to be likely.
Being already over $3.6M, I think they might as well risk it and go for $3.9M or even a $4M final goal and in case of failure scale it accordingly.

It's 8am. Damn you guys. They were awake till 2-3am.
It's the language that makes it funny.
Maybe Obsidian should just be streaming for the next 10 hours as they celebrate every backer from her until the kickstarter closes.
They did shots when they reached $3.5m with paypal included (it was during the D&D stream), we're at more than $3.6m now.
Haha, yeah, I get it now. I do hope they're ready to set the next goal at some point though, will bring in even more money for them.

LOL!
Massive failure on StoppedInTracks' part for not knowing this already.

Yeah I kind of fucked up
You put a stream celebrating when the KS ends like all the other projects did.I was so fixated on the 2nd Big City and the $3.5M goal (like we all did) that I thought that was the end, the ultimate amount.

Massive, MASSIVE fail on StoppedInTracks's part of not having a stream of lamentation when the $3.5M mark has been reached. Even more fail that he did not cancel the KS pledge yet.
It's like he does care (now) when he cared in the past.

Can you guys stop it now, please.
Well, they should be. Especially if they're going to make the game they promised with a small team in 2 years! Lol.
That doesn't make sense. Why would they donate early and reserve a 'spot' when there's no limit on 10k donations? Do you know for a fact that they already pledged 10k?

Sorry man, didn't mean to offend. Just poking fun.

Maybe they only ever planned it for 10 floors, and now need to figure out how to put stuff below water level

The wait for the 11th floor is killing me.
As well the info on the next stretch goal (The Cathedral).

Buh? This is news to me, last I heard the game's coming out in a month and half. The only Kickstarter stuff I was aware of was possibly for a 'deluxe' hardcover.
Just give us the fucking dick.
Too deep we delved there, and woke the nameless fear

That water's probably pretty cold, so no doubt there's been some... shrinkage... over the last couple of millennia. The artist has just been re-assuring the titan that everyone will take that into account before releasing the picture to the dick-hungry masses.

This has always been one of my big hopes as well. That, with the increase of technology and capabilities, that, instead of companies always feeling the need to make things "fancier, flashier, more polygons, more movies, more voices, more everything," that they just stayed at a certain level, and concentrated all their time and efforts on perfecting that level.
I'm perfectly happy with (and, in fact, would often prefer) SNES (for console) and BG/IWD (for PC) style games, and would like that, as finally seems to be the case here, that all the added technology and ability that we have now be spent to making those games even more amazing. And, hopefully, that is exactly what is happening here.
