There are no guarantees. If the game gets axed because they go over budget that's the risk you have.

say again??? if i give 50$ i still have to pay 15 for shipping?really?
With projects like this, Double Fine, etc, it's a risk so tiny as to be irrelevant. There is very little chance of nothing being released. The chance you're taking is more on the overall quality of the final product.
The companies target relatively lower budgets for these games, with higher budgets leading to simply more stuff added and/or wider distribution. The games are able to be made with the original goal they set out to hit or else they wouldn't have set it in the first place.
true but for these millionaires; church change.
Doesn't need a smiley, he currently makes those $10.000 every 70 minutes with Minecraft.

I think that's for international shipping. I freaked out too, just finished doing some more reading on the KS page.

Hehehe Me, too! My negotiation skills will be tested over the next two days, so I hope to hope to gain entry to that $1k club. As it is, I'll be happy with the $250 to $500 pledge.
intl shipping. aren't you guys used to this by now? pretty sure most kickstarters shipping from us do something similar unless they're stupid
i gave 45$ to double fine KS and the only extra fee is for a poster in the 100$ pledge it seems...
Did you found all games he participated???i know he was in fallout 1 and 2, and some other but not all...
Well, the guy founded Interplay and while exactly which games they made in house and which they just published are unbeknownst to me they have in one way or another been affiliated with some of my favorite games of all time.

Man, I hope the box they're talking about shipping the game in is of the old EA album-style. I fucking loved those so much more than standard ones, though some old computer game boxes were nice quality. I remember Origin's O.G.R.E. having a nice fucking heavy duty box for that fatass manual. You'd be lucky to get more than a leaflet ad for a strategy guide in a cheap, superthin and flimsy-ass PC game box today.
It does.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
Didnt you watch the pitch video?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Looks like the gods listened to MightyHedgehog's prayers, ha.
So we're getting a $3mil adventure game from Tim Schaffer, and more than likely getting this too. It's like Fantasy Island for gamers.

If I weren't unemployed I'd be pledging another $100 like I did to Double Fine. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I can afford to dip another $100 with my current monetary situation.
I, however, do want to see more games like this so I have to support in some way. So I stuck $30 in there. If I get a job between now and the project end date I'll definitely bump up my support.

65$ :S not fair for EUROLANDERS
I'm in for $15, and hopeful.
Why does the pitch video look like something Brian Fargo produced by himself out of his garage? If the game's had a year of pre-production, why are there zero details about the actual game plans aside from it being in the vein of the original?

No? Avellone can do his Kickstarter when he's good and ready, and my money will be there for him. This isn't a rushing game. It's simple about whether you have something that people want.

This person doesn't speak for me. I'll have my KickStarter pledge ready when you guys are.
Same. Give me an outlet and I will throw money into it, Avellone.
who are you trying to fool here, you're going to spend another $30 as soon as Avallone's kickstarter goes up
Yeah. I do hope these games turn out well not just for the games themselves but for the precedent they're setting. Kind of a lot of responsibility on their shoulders here. Schafer more so due to the high profile, but even though I've Kickstarted both way more interested in Fargo's project since Wasteland is so near & dear to me.

I wish inExile's track record were a little better. I will probably donate 15 bucks at some point but I'm not really expecting an excellent game.
As long as Avellone waits another month with his thing, I'm good to go.
