So they just added an option to get 2 copies of the game. You just back at any tier for the first copy and then edit your backing to add another $15 which gets you the second copy of the game.
I'll be doing PC + 3DS.

(you will most likely be paying more to buy the games this way than just buying them at release but I think of this more as trying to help out the developers)

I think it's granted we'll see achievments and (maybe) new game +

I suppose I'll be fine with that since everything else worth caring about are all the $160k and up levels.

 

[ramoisdead]

Yay Achievements stretch goal has been reached! C'mon New Game+ !

Also virt is doing a livestream of him making music for Shovel Knight on Friday, 5 pm Pacific Time in case anyone didn't know.

 

[Incendiary]

Just found out about this -> SO backing it. Although I want my copy for the 3DS because I can't do platformers on a PC, I need my D-pad. Looks like $15 backing for me!

 

[Teppic]

New game plus tomorrow maybe?

 

[ramoisdead]

New game plus tomorrow maybe?

It's still not there yet but if you want to see the PAX East demo, it is being played over at The Great GQ's Twitch channel along with a couple of YGC devs.

 

[PixyJunket]

New game plus tomorrow maybe?

Maybe.

I guess they will hit $130,000 or so at the end.

A solid push on their end could get $150,000 or $160,000, more live streams maybe?

 

[Sushigod7]

I hope we get to the $115,000 at least should be a great game either way the rest is gravy.

Tonight's update is claiming a big surprise for tomorrow.

Yep.

And introducing...Plague Knight.

 

[Hours Left]

Yep.

And introducing...Plague Knight.

Bird masks are everywhere now.

 

[duckroll]

I wonder what the major announcement is. From the way they're phrasing it, could it be someone well known who has volunteered their talent to the project as a guest of some sort?

Well the guys at YGC have been announcing some collaborations with other folks who had Kickstarter projects like Story War.

It could be a dream collaboration. Either way, I can't wait.

That what I assume. Can't imagine what else would cause them to make such a hype-y comment.

 

[abstract alien]

I'm digging his sippy cup.

Maybe they are getting a proposition from nintendo/sony/ms. Not sure what it could be, but it seems like it's huge. Maybe larger than the actual game. They make it seem like they got a greenlight to do a new Mega Man.

Whatever it is, I hope it's something that pulls in a big rush of backers for the final week.

 

[honorless]

I wonder if the announcement is that they were greenlit.

 

[Glass Rebel]

That would be quite the surprise because the next batch will be revealed on the 17th.

Yeah, apparently I'm posting too early for my own good. Time to go back to bed. (...I wish!)

 

[PixyJunket]

MANAMI MATSUMAE, THE ORIGINAL COMPOSER OF MEGA MAN, IS WRITING SONGS FOR SHOVEL KNIGHT!!!!

[ramoisdead]

HOLY CRAP ON A CRAP CRACKER, THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME!!!

What a dream music team collaboration! I'm so excited for this now than I have ever been before. I can't wait for virt's stream on Friday. UPDATE: I guess I'll tune into Sean's stream of Mega Man later on today.

 

[PixyJunket]

We need a new thread title, stat.

And just like that, they have my money.

 

[duckroll]

Sounds good.

Super happy for ex-Capcom staff !!!

@_@

 

[ShaneB]

Just seeing that announcement now. Incredible! Very very tempted to back this. I'm going to buy it anyway it seems, so couldn't hurt to "pre-order"

 

[PixyJunket]

Now one has to decide if they up their pledge to get dat physical CD.

 

[added_time]

Oh, wow. That is much better news that what I was expecting!
Just fantastic!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Came rushing here when I saw the news.

Now more jazzed about it than ever.

This needs its own thread, some people might not recognize the name.

On the other hand, she's only doing two songs, so it's not necessarily earth-shattering.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Aaaaaand 10 bucks are gone from my wallet. <3 virt and WayForward games.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Never backed a KS project before. Might back this one for $15 or so to get it for Wii U. Looks fun.

 

[PixyJunket]

Maybe just a compressed title?

"Shovel Knight Kickstarter (PC/WiiU/3DS) - Manami Matsumae (from OG Mega Man) Guest Composing."

Do it. We need every dollar here for Gender Swap mode.

 

[Nekki]

I still very much like this idea, but I'd rather have NG+ instead of achievements. Won't complain since they'll likely achieve NG+ anyway.

 

[duckroll]

"Shovel Knight Kickstarter (PC/WiiU/3DS) - Manami Matsumae (from OG Mega Man) Guest Composing."

It's really hard. Even that won't fit. I want to help create more awareness, but this is one hard project to summarize in the thread title! Lol.

 

[Hiltz]

Game looks so cool. I'll donate some cash to it as well.

I like that title. I agree that it doesn't need another thread...just a title that'll capture attention like the one above.

It's really hard. Even that won't fit. I want to help create more awareness, but this is one hard project to summarize in the thread title! Lol.

Even if you shorten Kickstarter to KS? And also "Mega Man NES" instead of "(from OG Mega Man)"

It's not very far from NG+.

Shovel Knight - ex-WayForward (PC/WiiU/3DS) + Mega Man Composer ?

 

[duckroll]

Okay let's try this.

 

[MYE]

Jesus, I wouldnt mind paying extra for a physical 3DS release

 

[PixyJunket]

It's really hard. Even that won't fit. I want to help create more awareness, but this is one hard project to summarize in the thread title! Lol.

Edit: Never mind, I see the new title.

 

[BY2K]

There you go.
