Support NeoGAF

[Aquamarine]

Yes, there's just shy of £15K on PayPal now which will contribute to the stretch goal total.

I'm just in two minds if we should announce the amount or not before the last 24 hours are done or not?

Maybe it'll push people harder to work towards the £550K goal if PayPal doesn't get announced until the Kickstarter is over?

Also, if it doesn't quite make £550K at the end (including PayPal), you should consider adding Linux support but leaving out Ouya. I think that would make a lot of people quite happy.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Yeah, me too. I mean good for 22Cans, but isn't Molyneux pretty well-off? Isn't kickstarter for people who can't fund their projects on their own? Seems shady. "Hey, what would be a good way to get people talking about our next game AND make a lot of money?"

Molyneux is a con artist.

Might be worth reading the interview linked above.

Okay, I did. So he didn't want to take the risk. That's fine I guess.

But didn't he violate the terms of use?

“I did make a little pledge just to make sure all the emails are there. It was a few hundred quid. That's all.”

Kickstarter project creators are not allowed to pledge to their own projects under any circumstances.

He's not the kickstarter creator, 22 cans is. Individual vs Company.

He's lucky it's not the American site!

edit: This sounded better before I typed it out. You know, because corporations are people, amirite? Sigh. I will leave my awful post as a warning to others.

 

[derFeef]

Does the "But X is rich, why does X need Kickstarter" pop up in the other Kickstarter threads too? Ima guess no...

 

[Fess]

This sounds awesome, I had tons of fun with Populous on the Amiga 500 back in the days.

 

[Klendathu Club Owner]

Does the "But X is rich, why does X need Kickstarter" pop up in the other Kickstarter threads too? Ima guess no...

In my opinion that's a valid question.

 

[Psychotext]

3rd stretch goal covered.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

In my opinion that's a valid question.

In my opinion it's been done to death, stifles actual discussion on the game and should be bannable.

 

[Currygan]

I can only imagine the relief.

Related, huge interview with Peter here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...ded-peter-molyneux-can-finally-get-some-sleep

EG's fascination with Molyneux has really gotten to an embarassing level

 

[Icarus]

I loved populous back in the day and the prototype looks cool. Totally backed.

 

[C4Lukins]

It made it. Good for humanity.

What do you mean?

Regardless of your opinion of him, Peter is still one of the most interesting people in games. Not to mention there is virtually zero gaming news atm.

 

[ZoddGutts]

500k stretch goal reached. Should be able reach the final stretch goal.

 

[Perkel]

6 hours - 504k

550-590 at hand.

 

[Psychotext]

Pretty happy with that.

Don't really care either way on the 550k target but it would be nice to see it get there just for the sake of completion.

 

[SamVT]

By popular demand (on here and everywhere else like reddit);

- LINUX support now at 525K stretch goal
- Open invitation for Guildford, Surrey based backers to join us at the studio

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22cans/project-godus

5 hours to go.

 

[Harlock]

I hope they keep releasing beta versions. Like Minecraft did during its development. Kickstarter games get a lot of delays, and beta version helps to give the backer something fast.

 

[qwerty2k]

Good news sam, i suspect it may have made the original Linux amount but glad that its almost certain a Linux version will exist now

 

[Psychotext]

- Open invitation for Guildford, Surrey based backers to join us at the studio

Bah, I wish I wasn't so busy today. I would happily come for a visit.

 

[Perkel]

Love contrast.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

Not a fan of the blood, doesn't fit with the genre or the art style for me. Happy if it's an option.

Doing something just because you can (i.e. no publisher inteference) doesn't necessarily mean it's worth doing.

 

[Psychotext]

I voted for option. I actually think it really works with the art style though (I can't speak on the genre as such).

 

[derFeef]

I think it fits, should be an option though. Also the people need SOME form of expression, mouth/eyebrows thing would be sufficient I think.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Finally pledged. SUPPORTER was luckily available so I pledged it. Good luck, 22cans!

 

[FoxSpirit]

Okay, pledged.
This better be good. Popolutacular.

 

[Psychotext]

Talking of populous... are there any versions of it which run well now? Unofficial remakes / HD upgrades or suchlike?

 

[Psychotext]

Final hour of the kickstarter, livestream: http://www.twitch.tv/22cans

Interesting so far.

 

[Broder Salsa]

His head really is round as Karl Pilkingtons, I would want to rub it too.

 

[syko de4d]

i thought the last push would be stronger but mhh it´s okay. About 1-2 weeks ago we would have been happy with only 450k ^^

ninjaedit: Sam, when will the 22cans development Web Cam for pledgers start?

 

[derFeef]

Nice of him mentioning WFTO.

 

[Psychotext]

i thought the last push would be stronger but mhh it´s okay.

Really? The last three days have been massive.

On Monday it didn't look likely the game would make it. I think the prototype had a hand in changing that.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

hmph we will see...


just dont promise to grow trees this time...

 

[Psychotext]

Gore is in, with a toggle.

@ZombieSupaStar: One of the kickstarter levels comes with an acorn.

 

[CecilRousso]

hmph we will see...

Oh ffs, let it go.

 

[derFeef]

525

 

[Psychotext]

Linux support tier reached. Looks like it'll end up just short of Ouya tier unless they've had a massive amount extra via Paypal today.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Oh ffs, let it go.

I cant think of one thing that has delivered since the bullfrog era, but I'll try and an open mind here...

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Done. Last I checked, they had around £15,000 via Paypal. Should be more now. Ouya support should be in.

 

[Psychotext]

Yay. \o/

 

[Harlock]

Linux support tier reached. Looks like it'll end up just short of Ouya tier unless they've had a massive amount extra via Paypal today.

Ouya is powerful enough to run Godus in comparison with PC and most newer tablets?

 

[Psychotext]

I don't know the specifics of it, only that Ouya support was the top tier.

 

[CecilRousso]

Sure, if you don't like his games, fair enough, but the tree thing was 10 years ago. It's a bit sad to still drag that around.

 

[Tomat]

Why the fuck would anyone give Molyneux money? He hasn't made a good game since Fable 1.

 

[Psychotext]

Apparently we're batshit mental. Works for me though.

 

[derFeef]

Sweet, that's not counted with the paypal thing, right?

 

[CecilRousso]

Why the fuck would anyone give Molyneux money? He hasn't made a good game since Fable 1.

Over 17 000 people gave him and 22 Cans money now. Lots of money! \0/
