I feel like I am stock market broker, pressing f5 and watching the number go up, will it make it on time? this is exciting.

 

[daycru]

Holy shit, they (and their friends in the "media") pulled it off.

 

[mclem]

Holy shit, they (and their friends in the "media") pulled it off.

Um, there's still $100k to go.

Still, I'm not going to write it off. Starlight: Inception taught me not to.

It's 100% at this point, trust me.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

It would be pretty incredible if this thing ended up making it. I had all but completely written it off during the first couple weeks.

 

[volturnus]

Holy shit, they (and their friends in the "media") pulled it off.

Not quite, but I bet it will be failing by the end and Ryan himself will pay huge amounts from his own savings/loan and pretend it was a miracle.

 

[codhand]

Looks like they need about four grand an hour.

aaand someone just gave 3k, faith in humanity, rising...risiiing

 

[zroid]

Well it just picked up 4k in the last 15 minutes.

Thing is on a roll

aaand someone just gave 3k, faith in humanity, rising...risiiing

ah, so that was it

 

[LiK]

down to the wire!

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Someone took the 10k tier, wow.

This is really coming down to the wire.

 

[Q8D3vil]

Not quite, but I bet it will be failing by the end and Ryan himself will pay huge amounts from his own savings/loan and pretend it was a miracle.

the game is going to be made regardless, don't see point in funding his own KS

Is it possible that a large percentage of Kickstarter users are afraid of committing money to projects they don't think are going to succeed, and now that the end is in sight we're gonna see an increase in funding?

I don't know why that should be the case, but it's entirely possible you're right. People can be paranoid for weird reasons like that, even though it's not like their money is "at risk" by pledging.

 

[The Omega Man]

Kojima is going to save it at the last moment and then tweet: "sorry to keep you waiting"

 

[LiK]

Kojima is going to save it at the last moment and then tweet: "sorry to keep you waiting"

I was wondering if he donated.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

While we wait for the game to come out it will be fun to watch the press get crushed under the onslaught of kickstarter pitches and emails if Republique succeeds (in part) on the back of a press heavy push

And gaming journalists have the nerve to complain about too many kickstarter emails now... They haven't seen anything yet. I almost feel sorry for them

 

[Vyse The Legend]

That's not how Kickstarter works.

If the project doesn't make it, no one gets billed. So, there's really no reason for someone to not donate, even if the prospect of something getting funded is low.

 

[iAmMaximus]

Kojima is going to save it at the last moment and then tweet: "sorry to keep you waiting"

definition badass.

 

[AcciDante]

I wish I had some money to throw into this. Definitely would like to play it when it's finished.

 

[The Omega Man]

I just want to see what the dude from TA is going to tweet if this project makes it, didn't he tweet like "only 400k more to go" a while back?

I was wondering if he donated.

definition badass.

I think Payton is in good terms with the guys at KojiPro I'd like to think that at least some of them chipped in

 

[Omikaru]

That's not how Kickstarter works.

If the project doesn't make it, no one gets billed. So, there's really no reason for someone to not donate, even if the prospect of something getting funded is low.

But a lot of people don't know that, since I'm always seeing every Kickstarter/Kickstarter-related discussions full of questions asking if they'll be refunded if the project doesn't meet its target.

 

[Mobius1]

That's not how Kickstarter works.

I'm not saying it makes sense. If anything it goes against the whole point of Kickstarter. But I'm sure there are some interesting psychological effects at work nonetheless.

 

[zroid]

Irrational behaviour due to psychological effects is perhaps the one thing you can always count on to happen.

 

[mclem]

It's 100% at this point, trust me.

I'm starting to genuinely fear your power.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I'm starting to genuinely fear your power.

Maybe he has about $90,000 laying around and he's feeling particularly generous.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Wow, just got back from meetings and this jumped $50,000. Let's do this folks!

 

[Keio]

Tweeted, posted this on Facebook... and upped my pledge to the 50 USD tier. This will happen!

 

[MrCunningham]

Irrational behaviour due to psychological effects is perhaps the one thing you can always count on to happen.

Never underestimate the 11th hour push.

They still have to hit $93,471 in 26 hours though.... it's possible, but will probably be an even tighter finish than Starlight Inception I think.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Maybe he has about $90,000 laying around and he's feeling particularly generous.

My power can't be limited by numbers, everything I pledge to get funded, it is infinite.

 

[Salaadin]

Kojima is going to save it at the last moment and then tweet: "sorry to keep you waiting"

LOL! That would be so badass.

Im wondering if this is going to be as close as Starlight Inception. That was a fun end to that Kickstarter. Ill be following this one tomorrow night for sure.

 

[Resident_UA]

It would be pretty incredible if this thing ended up making it. I had all but completely written it off during the first couple weeks.

I even increased my donation to $25 not expecting that it would make it . Still happy though. will increase it to $25.84

 

[StevePharma]

I bet Hodapp is pledging 10K and retracting 15 minutes before the end....

 

[Jasper Avenue]

Wow I hope this actually makes it. Going to up my bid to a higher tier this evening.

 

[Barryman]

Upping my pledge from $50.84 to $51.84

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

My power can't be limited by numbers, everything I pledge to get funded, it is infinite.

That's great news, I can't wait to see what Ryan and crew can do with an infinite budget!

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I bet Hodapp is pledging 10K and retracting 15 minutes before the end....

That sounds horrible, but everything that's happened, wouldn't put it past him at this point.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

I bet Hodapp is pledging 10K and retracting 15 minutes before the end....

Let's not give him any ideas, m'kay?

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

That's great news, I can't wait to see what Ryan and crew can do with an infinite budget!

That is not how it works, they simply cannot fail to reach their goal,
Carmageddon, Space Venture and Tex Murphy will be my next pledges, two of them are already set, but I shall give my touch to Tex.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I'd like to fund this and also get the 10$ reward. So do I just select the 10$ reward, or select that and type in 10 at the top text field?

Both. You type your pledge and then you select the reward you want.

Okie dokie

You should have *really* tested your theory by funding Your World

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Both. You type your pledge and then you select the reward you want.

You can also click on the Pledge tier itself and it will instantly fill it in for you.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Not going to lie, amongst the first things I immediately noticed in their video were the Starbucks cups. Starbucks has a rep for being expensive in some parts so probably not a good idea to be drinking that (or at least showing it) whilst asking for funding

 

[Omikaru]

I think if this succeeds, everyone should tweet a crow-eating picture at @hodapp for shits and giggles.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

That type of project would be my nemesis.

I'm not even joking about this, both Nekro and Starlight were fucked, I only pledged to make the final numbers look less pitiful, then I was stuck paying for them, Tex will be a real test, I don't think those games are as remembered as Lucas or Sierra games.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Will the iOS edition support the 'retina' screen on the new iPad?

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Yeah I think they mentioned somewhere it would. In one of the videos.

Nekro got funded? Good for them.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

$158,733

Yep, with a few days left they Devs talked about how they were fucked and if everyone who pledged to the lowest tier upped to a higher tier they would have enough money

Then people came through and got them 50% on top.
