Support NeoGAF

[Aaron]

Just wait until 5 minutes before it ends and some jerk retracts his $100.

Wow, I could be that jerk!

Seriously though, upped my pledge a little. Hope they succeed.

 

[linko9]

Holy shit, they're gonna make it. How did that happen.

 

[Zen]

It really depends on how much it falls behind during night hours and how much there is a surge in the remaining hours during the day,

 

[Good Job Bob]

Been eyeing this for a while, just donated 10 bucks.

 

[Slime]

This is making me nauseous. I know they're going to make it, but it's still messing with my nerves.

Anyway, congrats Ryan and team. Super excited for you folks (and for the game).

 

[Aselith]

Been eyeing this for a while, just donated 10 bucks.

Come on, man! You know you want the PC version AND the iOS version. What's another 10 bucks going to hurt?

 

[subversus]

too early to congratulate them

 

[SparkTR]

My 17th backed Kickstarter project. Even if only half make the cut I've got a ton of gaming content in 2013.

 

[kiryogi]

Whelp, pledged 30. PC ver go!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Well, I'm impressed that they've managed to motivate so many to pledge this late in the game. Still a ways off inside of fifteen hours left, but I decided to pledge to this one just for the PC version because it seems plausible that this will actually squeak by. Good luck, Republique folks.

 

[MrCunningham]

too early to congratulate them

Yup, there's still a ways to go. $53,064 still has to be raised in 14:28 hours.

Also, there is a new update:

FINAL COUNTDOWN LIVESTREAM

The rest can be read here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/486250632/republique-by-camouflaj-logan/posts

My 17th backed Kickstarter project. Even if only half make the cut I've got a ton of gaming content in 2013.

Oh god, this is only my 6th. But these Kickstarter projects have become a new obsession for me.

There has been more Kickstarter funded projects in the last two months, that has interested me more than the stuff that's been announced by the bigger name publishers from the last year. The Doublefine Adventure (missed that), Wasteland 2, Shadowrun, this project, Carmageddon, the Andromeda guys game, Leisure Suit Larry.... And there are others that have appeared that I haven't even looked into contributing to yet...

Honestly if someone told me last year that I would be able to play sequels to classic games/ genres that I have been craving years for though crowd funding, I would've said "bullshit". But here we are.

 

[Xater]

It's really cool to see that this is apparently happening. I love the idea and I am looking forward to playing this on my iPhone.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Livestream to see

Spoiler

happy

tears from them. Nice.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

This is my 32nd backed project.

So many $1's.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Only my 2nd backed project, but that'll hopefully change when I start work next week .

Looking forward to the livestream, hope I can find time to watch, it's on after my last (ever) final today.

 

[_woLf]

This is the first project I've actually helped kickstart. This sounds really cool.

 

[MrCunningham]

8,728 Backers
$450,060 pledged of $500,000 goal
13 hours to go

Well, $49,650 left to go. They are in the home stretch now!

Spoiler

I'm of to bed

 

[Goldmund]

I'm happy for them. I think it's time to think of a good subtitle for the 2013 official thread. Any suggestions?

 

[fushi]

Alright, upping my donation. Get this done, team!

 

[Blablurn]

wow, where did this 50k bump come from in the last hours?

 

[Squire]

I'm happy for them. I think it's time to think of a good subtitle for the 2013 official thread. Any suggestions?

Republique (OT): Keep Hope Alive

^Could there possibly be anything more fitting?

 

[dreamfall]

I just donated $60, what I could afford. I'm really excited, kudos to the team. I really look forward to it!

 

[Goldmund]

Republique (OT): Keep Hope Alive

^Could there possibly be anything more fitting?

Yeah, Republique |OT| Kept Ryan Alive.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Yeah, Republique |OT| Kept Ryan Alive.

Harsh.

Republique |OT| Tactical Shitfarter Action

<3 Camoflaj & Ryan.

 

[Tashi]

THIS IS SO EXCITING!

 

[mclem]

Right, I'm off to bed. Here's hoping that when I wake up there's under $40k or so to go!

Not *quite*. Still achievable.

 

[mclem]

How about for a 10k donation you make .25% of the game's total profits? That's some incentive, at least you have a chance at making a bit of your moolah back. Why people continue to act as loan sharks for these companies is beyond me...I really have trouble comprehending when there's no profit in return. Like people are content with throwing their money away...

Hint: Profit doesn't only manifest in the form of financial reward.

 

[Metalic Sand]

Pledged, Its so close i just had to help.

 

[trinest]

This is a really interesting one. It could go either way still.

 

[heringer]

I'm shocked this will make it. A PC version really did wonders.

 

[dock]

Vic's company "Greedy Productions"...

Skim reading, saw this, immediately thought you were talking about Victor Ireland. heh.

 

[get2sammyb]

I'm shocked this will make it. A PC version really did wonders.

And yet, it'll be heralded for something else entirely...

 

[Omikaru]

Someone just made a $10k pledge.

About $32k left!

 

[john tv]

Someone just dropped $10k!

 

[V_Ben]

WHOA.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Someone just made a $10k pledge.

About $32k left!

I don't trust these very high pledges, they need to get some wiggle room in the last hour to prevent arseholes pulling out and torpedoing them.

 

[Dacvak]

It turns out that the whole Republique project is actually just a giant community ARG, and once we hit $500,000 they're going to replace their page with "Thanks for Playing!"

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I don't trust these very high pledges, they need to get some wiggle room in the last hour to prevent arseholes pulling out and torpedoing them.

That's true, but I have to believe!

 

[Zen]

Someone just joined the 10k club. 30k to go, under 11 hours.

Beaten: And I agree that there needs to be some sort of binding agreement for the huge pledges.

 

[SovanJedi]

Upped from $20 to $70 now. Hope it makes it! They must be bricking it by now.

 

[Flavius]

Looking good, and very happy to make a pledge to see what these guys can do.

Still too early for congrats?

 

[Franklinator]

I'm so pumped this project seems like it's gonna make it. The game looks so good.

 

[Yaska]

pledged 20 bucks, hope it's worth it.

 

[firehawk12]

Man, can you really troll kickstarters by pulling support at the last moment?

 

[mclem]

My 17th backed Kickstarter project. Even if only half make the cut I've got a ton of gaming content in 2013.

I'm on 21. And I've still not done Carmageddon, SpaceVenture or Xenonauts. And *maybe* Grim Dawn.

 

[Omikaru]

Man, can you really troll kickstarters by pulling support at the last moment?

If it's barely scraped past its goal, yes.

But would trolls really play with that much fire? They could find their bank account drained if their net connection goes down or whatever.

I was *terrified* for Chuck's Challenge 3D. It only asked for $12.5k, not a massive project, but there was one pledge at $5k. It only just scraped past the target, and in the last few minutes I was so nervous that that pledger could pull out.

A buffer zone is a huge reassurance.

 

[firehawk12]

That would be hilarious. Sort of like accidentally winning an eBay auction you bid on for a lark.

 

[Omikaru]

Just crossed $470,000. Only $30,00 left in 11 hours. They can do this!

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Man, can you really troll kickstarters by pulling support at the last moment?

Yep, it would be nice if KS would look into those cases and ban those people from running a project or pledging in the future.
