rustybadger Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 well, that looks like it was a good idea then.............. new, shiny game can only be just around the corner.... Quote
ToastedDragon Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Objective completed you're 6k over your pledge. Does anyone knows if that means that they have whatever they need? The waiting is killing me !! They got what they need but the more is donated the more they can add (hiring more artist/coders/personel in general) Quote
Commissar Pancakes Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 And the more monies they keep after paying taxes and the Kickstarter fees. Quote
thothkins Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 ...and if you remove the money that the original reorder folk are going to get deducted...yikes! Donate Now to avoid stick figure aliens :-) Quote
Commissar Pancakes Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 ...and if you remove the money that the original reorder folk are going to get deducted...yikes! Donate Now to avoid stick figure aliens :-) Because since they're so frigging thin, you're troops'll have a snowball's chance in hell of getting a hit with that AR's 45% hit chance on 22AP at near point-blank.

thothkins Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 that's better than some of my Rookies now :-) Quote
raidsoft Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 ...and if you remove the money that the original reorder folk are going to get deducted...yikes! Donate Now to avoid stick figure aliens :-) I don't think they are going to get anything deducted? You will just get your original pre-order sum added afterwards I think? And yes there's going to be quite a lot money "lost" to random stuff, especially physical items that need making and shipping etc. etc. but it's still a lot of money left over, I just hope that you don't overestimate how much that will be Chris and end up over-promising things that you later realize isn't possible.

Zeromanicus Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Xenonauts got some coverage on Gamespys kickstarter article. Quote
Gorlom Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Xenonauts got some coverage on Gamespys kickstarter article. Sweet. got a link? I'm lazier then most forumgoers. Quote

erutan Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 I'm in the $200 tier but have too many t-shirts relative to other clothing and most of my posters are wrapped up in a megatube of posters in a closet... so I'd be happy with just getting the hardback art book as the physical side of my pledge. I suppose things like this will be done in the follow up e-mails with kickstarter etc (shirt size, none, etc). Quote
Akavit Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 I'm of the same mind as Erutan. I don't have a place for posters and don't have much use for t-shirts either. Things that I don't use will probably end up at a secondhand store so hopefully Chris gives us the option to forgo a portion of our rewards so money won't be wasted on them. The art book sounds nice but there again, I'm trying to minimize the personal belongings that I keep around so I may not hand onto that either. My interest really lies in the game itself and having the fun of seeing myself show up in an X-Com style game. Quote
The New Romance Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Xenonauts seems to be huge in Scandinavia... Quote
Jean-Luc Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Xenonauts seems to be huge in Scandinavia... They're happy about all those Icelanders getting killed. Quote
Silichna Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I thought it would get the biggest support from the USA. Quote
The New Romance Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Uhhh, look what I found! Mapstalgia is supporting Xenonauts, Big Yay! (as thothkins would say) Quote
Zeromanicus Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Did Ars Tech get a press demo? http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/05/kickstarter-game-watch-from-rohrer-to-republique/ They're doing a kickstater watch every week. Quote
Kilrathi Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Also, did PC Gamer? I'm still curious as to why they haven't at least mentioned it in a Kickstarter-related blurb, given that that's where I heard about the game in the first place. Quote
Chris Posted May 14, 2012 Author Posted May 14, 2012 Just emailed the Ars Technica guy. PC Gamer - no. Dan, their editor (and a big fan), left and joined GameSpy so we don't really have a contact there any more. Quote
weatherx Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 i really like ars technica. it's one place i read regularly. also, how about some indie game magazine? like www.indiegamemag.com. btw, almost to the first stretch goal mark! Quote
Archer Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I always read about these on Blue's News ... I sent it as a news item, but so far haven't seem him post about it. He typically covers Kickstarters for anything gaming related, so I'm a bit disappointed to see him skip this one. Quote
Buzzles Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Ah, just shy of $75,000 currently. Looks like we'll be getting a dedicated level designer then. Good times Quote
