Kilrathi Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Akavit - hey, could be worse: you could be over 35! As a 39 year old, I'm a bit worried... thankfully, I've been told I look youthful beyond my years! (and, yeah, I do have pics from 4 years ago if need be, too...)

Hellstormer Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 So since I'm at 30 (premium pre-order) if I wanted my name in the game I'd drop in 70 more basically? That is seriously tempting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akavit Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 You don't have to be under 35 to get the name option. It's the $200.00 option that includes a portrait that has the age requirements. I didn't go for the portrait option, just the name. If I wanted to I could probably provide a satisfactory picture though. I'd imagine that avoiding shaving for a few days and skipping sleep would help achieve the glum look Chris wants for all his soldier portraits. In further news, funding just surpassed the $1,500 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subject117 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Seriously, I'll be very surprised if this doesn't reach the goal within 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippery Jim Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Awesome news. Very well done Kickstarter page. Nice and professional. I got home late from work but once I wake up in the morning I will be donating. Xenonauts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Very well done Kickstarter page. Nice and professional. High praise, coming from you. But yeah, it is a good page. The video presentation is especially very well done despite modest means. @Everyone, Please post any press links you come by.

IceVamp Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) It's looking good! But I don't get paid until friday! Those $200 tiers are going like hotcakes! Nooooooooo! Err.. I mean, Yeah! But you know.. (Oh, and props to G.R.R Martin and Ian M. Banks name-dropping in your shelf there. ) Edited May 9, 2012 by IceVamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erutan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 And your avatar made it into the video! I got to the suppression thread far too late. And also never thought to suggest that suppression would turn us into pirate cyborgs! Brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stx Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 It seems the Kickstarter has already had a good success... I hope you'll get all the funding you require, and even more than that. Time will tell. The game is already quite good, and it is improving in every build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorlom Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I just noticd that the forums isn't linked on the kickstarter page (under the profile). It just links to the xenonaut page. Wouldn't it be a good idea to link directly to the forums as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 who donated that odd 1$? its annoying me so much I think i have to reduce my pledge with 1 I reckon you should up your pledge by $9 instead, much nicer figure that way. I did notice that the link to the t-shirt was the one that came second place in the voting thread! I much preferred number 3, the one that actually got the most votes. Have to see if I can scrape enough of my bursary together to up my pledge a little and get one anyway. 227 guests online on the forum as well at time of posting, I think there may be a few new people watching us. Wave to all the nice guests people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle1990 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Just a question: "Pledge $200 or more As $150, plus our character artist will do a portrait of you from a photograph to accompany the soldier bearing your name. See the FAQ for full details. Please add $10 for international shipping if required." If my wife support with $150 or more - will she get her portrait as well? (or any female?) (Yeah, I read the FAQ. She do NOT have a masculine frame, not at all ) Edited May 9, 2012 by oracle1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amiga4ever Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 $3600 after few hrs from start. I see big success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterfield Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Here's 20$ more. I've already pre-ordered, but this is my small contribution to this great team & game. Shut up and take my money ! EDIT : BTW, I just ping again a Gameblog writer / tester (french video-game related website). I've talked to him about Xenonauts few months ago, he was saying that he'll wait for the demo / press build. It may end up with a news, maybe a preview ?

Gorlom Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Just a question: "Pledge $200 or more As $150, plus our character artist will do a portrait of you from a photograph to accompany the soldier bearing your name.

She do NOT have a masculine frame, not at all ) 200$ is the first reward tier that offers to draw a custom portrait. the 150$ tier allows you to select one of the existing portraits to be paired up with your name. As far as I understand at the 200$ reward anyone's photo will be acompanied with their ingame representation (soldier with their name) possibly with a few minor alteration. But if you also meet the requirements listed in the FAQ your picture may make it into the pool and can be paired up with ANY soldier name. This for obvious reasons does not appliy to females or pregenerated named soldiers. So if your wife pledges 200$ she should be getting an ingame portrait, yes. (150 no, but I assume that to be a typo) Edited May 9, 2012 by Gorlom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuuk Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 hmm maybe with a bit advertising for kickstarter you can arrive 80k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoNUT Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Over 10% already! I donated a bit, just enough to up me from standard to the premium preorder. Will see if I can spare a tad more come next month. If I understand correctly, existing standard preorder ($19.99) plus another $30.01 for the kickstarter will put me in the $50 category and eligible for T-Shirt/Poster? Not including shipping, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmigosh Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Congratulations on a great start to the KS drive... http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/69341191/xenonauts Trending to $90k. Good luck and watch your lines of fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
