weatherx Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Google didn't offer to translate the pages for you? You need a better browser. Like Chrome. i have enough respect for these languages to not let google translate butcher them. Quote
thothkins Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 any significantly advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic Although it's actually not a bad thing that this has been pointed out, I'd expect the same level of scientific logic applied consistently to anything, without explaining it away as too advanced for mere mortals. :-) Looking forward to sunglasses/mittens being on the stores lists.

Kilrathi Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 The total's up to $48,413 at 11:20 Eastern... kinda glad I'm up working late but I'm hoping that last $1,600 to the goal goes quickly - it'd be fun to be up and see the goal get hit! If not, it's good to know I'll almost certainly wake up to find it funded. Now on to greater heights (and to enticing those already pledged to bump their pledges in the name of fighting the good fight against the aliens). Quote
Slippery Jim Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Ya I am tempted to stay awake to check on the numbers. Would like to see the $50,000 happen (almost) live. Thanks Chris for ruining my night Quote
weatherx Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 just realized the fictional first contact date is very close to my birthday. so......how much would it take to make it my birthday? Quote
IceVamp Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 $895 to go, for the project to have reached the first goal! Quote
erutan Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) $485! under 500! update: 11:37pm PST $135 to go. Edited May 11, 2012 by erutan Quote
shuuk Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 ohh chris can i say GZ? ohh wait there is still 205,- left Quote
Kilrathi Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Where's that one additional $200 slot when you need it? So close! The pace should pick up as Europe wakes up... Keep the updates coming if you have time, Chris - keeps the momentum even if it's just to say "we're considering ports to Linux but it depends on cost. Similarly, female soldiers would be great but it's really costly, etc." As someone wrote on another thread, building that community feeling so people stick around and pledge more is key. Congrats on the progress so far! Quote
BobbyDylan Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Can we get back to making the game now. I doubt work on the game has stopped for this. Although I don;t expect a major update to the game till after the Kickstarter. Quote
Moonie Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I doubt work on the game has stopped for this. Although I don;t expect a major update to the game till after the Kickstarter. You reckon? What's the odds that Chris is, at this very moment, lying on a beach soaking up the sun with a pina colada in each hand and a couple of scantly clad lady's rubbing coconut oil into his back? Quote
BobbyDylan Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Bwhahaha.... Oh, and less than $100 to go... Quote
gobyfly Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Youre missing 115 USD to reach youre goal , im throwing in another 150 (also have the premium preorder from before) to make sure you made it =)) Good luck Chris ! This was a great success !! Quote
Kilrathi Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Congrats, Chris and everyone else working on the game - great to see such quick funding! And now this American is off to bed... Hoping to see an even bigger number when I wake up! -Kilrathi Quote
Moonie Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 The good. Chris and his team can get their heads down on the games development without having to worry about money. The Bad. You are now going to have 10,000000 people on here, some of which will be demanding immediate results. This will put a lot of pressure on the team. Quote
thothkins Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Is there any concern that with the portraits level gone, that there simply aren't enough goodies to attract higher bids any more? Quote
Chris Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 Yes. We're looking at that. Hopefully the stretch goals (currently planned to be Mac / Linux versions at $100k and female soldiers at $200k will give people something to aim for) but we are looking at ways to make the tiers more exciting. Quote
