Support NeoGAF

$6,700 to go.

Damn, thing is flyin son.

 

[nny]

There are less thousand dollars missing (~6.5) than hours to go(7)!

 

[V_Ben]

I was about to up my pledge to get the iPhone case, but then I remembered that the next iPhone is probably going to have different dimensions to the current case...

Can't believe that its actually going to make it though. Wonderful to see.

 

[GuardianE]

Also, I think they'd be fine with having ~495,000 dollars instead of 500,000. Don't think it would matter that much.

That's not how Kickstarter works. They meet their goal or they get nothing.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

At this rate the project will be funded in less than 1 hour ... Only $15,000 away from being completely funded. Who'da thunk it?

~$6,000 to go in 7 hours?

If they don't hit their goal, they don't get any money. So I don't think they would be ok with 495,000 dollars.

Really?
One day there will be a project that's short a few dollars at the end.

 

[GuardianE]

Really?

I'm pretty sure that's happened before. It's unfortunate.

 

[Chairhome]

Really?

I'm sure in those cases, they'll "donate" the money to themselves to meet it. If they're smart.

 

[Hellsing321]

I'm shocked that this looks like it'll make it. Congrats, Ryan! Put in $25 myself today.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Really?

Really.

 

[rozay]

I'm afraid Hodapp is the 10k contributor, I sure as hell hope people don't retract their donations after it passes 500k and this can make it to 510k

 

[Tashi]

Sorry for Overdoziz guys, I don't even know how he got out of HaloGAF

 

[nny]

Every time I refresh it's $1000 up..this will reach the goal in 15 minutes.

 

[LiK]

$4,600+ left

 

[zroid]

I'm pretty excited to see the Twittersplosion

 

[Overdoziz]

Sorry for Overdoziz guys, I don't even know how he got out of HaloGAF

Sorry for not keeping up with Indie-peasants like you!

 

[dank0723]

Yeah, this has been really amazing to watch, especially coming from a Day1 backer. I really Hope they can pull this thing off.

 

[Omikaru]

Less than $4,000 left. This is truly amazing! As someone who backed it on the first day (I'm on the first page, within the first 30 backers #stealthbrag), this is really incredible.

 

[Nemo]

Shiieet, this is actually making it? Gotta say, never expected that

 

[Sallokin]

I'm going to get ready for work. If this thing isn't fully funded by the time I'm done, I would be shocked. It's been a really incredible 48 hours to watch this whole thing.

 

[HoosTrax]

I'm a little late to the game as far as following this Kickstarter. My initial feelings on this one is that I almost wished they had separated this out into iOS and PC Kickstarters -- I'm not at all keen on the idea that my donation might be used in part to fund iOS-specific development.

With the Double Fine one, we knew up front that PC would be the primary platform, and only if they reached the goal would any additional funds be used to support other platforms.

The lack of a Steam key option says to me that there has been very little concrete work that's been done on the PC version thus far, when you consider that the Banner Saga Kickstarter was able to secure Steam distribution up front.

Anyways, I do wish him success on this.

Can't do that. Using a credit card to pay yourself is a bit of a no-no, plus it's against KS's TOS.

Edit: http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/creators#IPledToMyOwnProjFromAnotAccoAndNowMyAmazPaymAccoIsCanc , since no-one actually seems to post KS's own page on the subject when it comes up.

 

[polyh3dron]

Just went from $50 to $60 for both versions.

 

[transience]

Wow, this is going to wrap up in a matter of minutes.

I bet this flies past 500k and hits like 550. Good show, Internet.

 

[maquiladora]

This thing will be funded in the next 10 mins at this rate.

Amazing that only a few days ago it looked impossible.

 

[SkinnyPupp]

Looks like Ryan is going to be able to buy a bunch more dessert scarves.

If they take this successful kickstarter launch and use it as a point to say that "people want AAA iphone games" I will lose my shit.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

This will probably be the greatest turnaround in gaming kickstarters' history.

 

[the TMO]

My card is empty, damn me

 

[chubigans]

I also came in this thread to laugh at that Touch Arcade guy. Here I go.

Bwahahahahahahaha in your FACE. In your FACE!

Which reminds me I need to pledge to this thing.

 

[kruis]

Five minutes later and another $1500 pledged. It won't take long now. Just a few minutes.

 

[Akia]

People want AAA iOS games.

It's getting close to being Kickstarted.

I want AAA iphone games. It's why I funded this kickstarter.

 

[daegan]

People want AAA iOS games.

I know *I* want AAA iOS games.

 

[Omikaru]

I want AAA iOS games too!

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I want AAA iphone games. It's why I funded this kickstarter.

I know *I* want AAA iOS games.

Sure, but this kickstarter doesn't show that there is significantly high demand for AAA iOS games. This never would have succeeded without the desktop version being announced.

 

[DarthWoo]

Isn't there often a bandwagon effect once a KS hits its funding where people just jump in for what is essentially a cheap and extremely early preorder?

 

[Nabs]

holy shit.

 

[GuardianE]

I actually don't care at all about AAA iOS games.

I just wanted to play this.

 

[JABEE]

Less than $1K remaining!

 

[Salaadin]

The final 1000!

 

[Akia]

More than a few people want AAA iOS games.

maybe around 5000 people if you tally up the iOS pledges

 

[icespide]

less than 1k left

 

[LiK]

$800 left

 

[Shadow780]

Backed last minute, looks like it'll make it!

 

[onlyindreams]

WE DID IT

 

[daegan]

OH YEAH WE DID IT
