These guys proved so many people wrong, including myself and many others here on GAF. Congrats to them!

Good news, hopefully the big pledgers don't drop out at the last second for some reason. :x

Just because funding for this game didn't take off when it was iOS doesn't mean the iOS gamers don't want AAA games.

Never thought this one would make it. Congrats Ryan and crew.

Did not think they would make it! Awesome!

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Haha. When I pledged my $20 I thought the Republique kickstarter project really didn't have a chance at succeeding since the donations simply weren't coming in.

ITS OVER FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND
Congratulations to them. Even when I contributed I never thought it had a chance.
Yeah, I think there's a big difference between there being no market for higher budget iOS games and not being able to fund a $500,000 Kickstarter for an iOS game. Who knows, this game could go on to do extremely well on iOS.

Right, but this Kickstarter certainly doesn't prove that the demand is high for them either.

OH YEAH WE DID IT
hahahahahaha
It's still a cheap and easy pre-order, although some argument over how cheap this is for an iOS game.

I think it's more of pricing and IOS is still a race to the bottom of pricing, that needs to change before AAA games can really thrive on the system.

How's that? One example doesn't make a rule.

Glad to see that they got the $500,000, for a while there I didn't think they were going to get it.

I didn't say the demand doesn't exist, I just said this kickstarter doesn't prove that it does. Go back to the original comment, it was about this particular kickstarter being used to show that there is high demand for AAA iOS games. That's all I'm talking about here.
Agreed, that's why I backed the project on the first day.
or it shows that Kickstarter's userbase is primarily PC based.
Regardless, there are people that want high quality iOS games and are grateful that people would like to make them.

I think this has been the most enjoyable Kickstarter to take part in. It's like watching Rocky and then watching Rocky 2 a few weeks later.
Congrats Camaflauj and crew!

I do wonder how many people only started caring after a PC version was announced.

Hope funding doesn't slow down in case some troll pulls support at the last minute.

There's stuff in place to make sure that doesn't happen. Once it's funded all that would happen is they would lose that single user's funding but still get the rest.
