Slippery Jim Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Only looking for $50,000? That may set some people's alarm bells ringing and actually backfire worse than asking too much. I think people are starting to get more paranoid: Link to story about "Questionable Kickstart Cancelled" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I don't really think that has any relevance to us. And asking for too little is obviously worse than asking too much as we don't get ANY money if we ask too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeromanicus Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Considering people will have a demo to play, there's absolutely no doubt Xenonauts is the real deal. Links to RPS articles etc won't hurt that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was because he contradicted himself and blatantly stole both images and text from other sources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 *shrug* Could be worse. yay! almost a compliment :-) No doubt Kickstarter will attract it's fair share of chancers.But the work completed in Xenonauts removes it from any possible comparison. The only issue would be if there were so many fake kickstarter scams that the whole thing folded or adversely affected funding for the genuine games. Considering the success of kickstarter, something would fill the void in a few heartbeats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue would be if there were so many fake kickstarter scams that the whole thing folded or adversely affected funding for the genuine games. Considering the success of kickstarter, something would fill the void in a few heartbeats. mount and blade sold copies for their game (original one) while in early beta, as they got closer to release the price went up, to a final price of $40. minecraft released a barebones, relatively bug free, online only game, before taking money in order develop minecraft as it is today. dwarf fortress releases it's versions free, living off of a almost exclusively 1 man development team from donations only. kickstarter is just something to help with the financial side of things for indie developers to get off the ground, alternatives have always and hopefully will always exist. it isn't that i think that kickstarter is a bad thing, i just think that if it is the only game in town (so to speak), then it will get abused and cause bad things for the indie market.

targetbsp Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Can't wait until the Kickstarter starts. I decided fairly recently to pick this up but figure I may as well wait until your kickstarter starts and help reach your goal. I'm presuming that kickstarter purchasers will also be able to download future beta copies the same as normal pre-orders after the kickstarter closes? And until then I'll have the public beta to play with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyDylan Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yeah, me too. I've backed a couple of projects, but this one feels closer to my heart. I'm really exicted for the kickstarter to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
