Kickstarter Goes Live!

7 hours left, $145,500. I'm thinking we'll make the $150,000 stretch goal.

It would be great to finish on the next level. Here's hoping.

let's hope we hit the 150k, it would be awesome

I'm pretty sure we'll hit $150k, so I've shifted my hopes for $190k. I really want that military base tileset, damnit! Come on, someone's got to have $50k just lying around waiting to be spent on something I want!

OK. I've now backed the project via kickstarter (only a little over 2 grand and just under 4 hours, to go to NPCs!). How do I find Chris's email details to let him know to link up my pre-order with my kickstarter amount?

PM through the forum here.

He will pick it up from there.

it's in the faq on the kickstarter page. chris@xenonauts.com

Oooh, less than $1,000 left to the big $150k! I'm glad I put that stretch goal in at $150k now, having a Kickstarter with no big target to hit in the last few hours is no fun...

And now it's less than $500. This is going well ^^

We just reached 150k. Now, I'll hope for a 190k miracle

Congratulations on the 150$ mark, Chris. There is still hope that we'll get close to the next mark. If not...well...every dollar counts when making such a great game:D

Yay, I hope the failed transactions don't drag it too far down.

This calls for a little music.....

I'm very happy with that, I must admit. I did doubt we'd reach even $140k a few days ago but we've gone well beyond that. It's been a very strong couple of days and it's a great milestone to go past.

Has to feel great to suddenly have 150k at your disposal...

The numbers in http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/69341191/xenonauts/ is pretty interesting.

Especially the trending tracker you get if you press the little pi symbol in the lower left corner. The experimental projection cone seems broken though since it lists 144k as low and 150k as high possibilities and the project is already past that

PS. nevermind it was projecting based on previous day or something.

I'm hoping that people have paid attention to what Chris has already been saying about the amount of time required to get everything done and dusted re. keys. I'm almost certain an hour after the Kickstarter is finished there will be some people coming onto the forum writing angrily "WHERES MY KEY????"

Congratulations!

300% of original goal is very nice sum!

Congratulations!

Xenonauts got a lot of supporters, and more than 300% funding is really a great achievement!

Now you can continue working on Xenonauts, knowing the community is strongly supportive...

I also hope that in a couple of weeks the new alpha is released, so that we can restart testing it.

Today take a deep breath and rejoice!

Yep, Chris you should go out and have some drinks. After all, this is quite an achievement. So congratulations, I really hope I can play the 21st century UFO EU.

The art book finally lured me in for the kickstarter I just couldn't resist that book. Congrats to everyone at Goldhawk! I can't wait to see the full beta version in the coming months and to be horribly slaughtered by your evil alien minions.

Well done on the Kickstarter guys!

$154,695! What a nice round number

Great success! I'm really glad it ended so well.

Wahoooooooooo!
