Moonie Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Thought you preferred silver? I do, I do. But free gold is good, no?
The New Romance Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 The Kickstarter link to the T-Shirt backers will be receiving shows #2 - is this on purpose? Judging from the poll, #3 got a wee bit more votes...
Gorlom Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) TNR: read the T-shirt part of the FAQ What are the full details on the T-shirt? The T-shirts are black T-shirts featuring a Xenonauts print. They are available in Small, Medium, Large or XL. We’ve designed them to be relatively subtle, so they can be worn anywhere. We’re only offering a single T-shirt design because the prices get cheaper the more we order, leaving us more money to spend on development. The two options are these two: http://www.xenonauts.com/images/tshirt_choice2.png http://www.xenonauts.com/images/tshirt_choice3.png They are both similar, but we'll send out a survey to everyone that is entitled to a T-shirt once the Kickstarter closes asking people to vote on which design they prefer. The winning T-shirt design will be sent to everyone. The T-shirts are good quality Gildan heavy cotton 6.1oz shirts. If you live outside the US, please add $10 for international shipping.

Kilrathi Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 There's another Reddit post up, too, with more upvotes, so probably worth jumping on this one, too: http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/te1ke/the_kickstarter_for_xenonauts_an_xcomlike_is_live/ On another note: is there (or would it make sense for there to be) a "getting started" guide somewhere here on the forums? I'm thinking something with general types about where to put your base, what your first purchases should be, etc., so that new players who just d/l'ed the demo can start off on the right foot and get far enough into the game to see where it's heading? If it's out there, maybe like to it from the Kickstarter FAQ or something? I'm just thinking that the more we can do to help people enjoy the demo, the better.
Amiga4ever Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Google translate ftw. What did you actually write about the more and more Cossack? I'm not mocking, I'm just curious! - it's mean awesome every next build is much better that previously Edited May 9, 2012 by Amiga4ever
The New Romance Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 TNR: read the T-shirt part of the FAQ Thank you Didn't see this.
raidsoft Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Indeed jump on all the reddit posts you can find It's quite random which posts gets super popular and the more the bigger the chance one gets to the frontpage and that means a LOT of views!

I did a super quick write up of the basics on the wiki. But it's not linked from the forum. And the wiki isn't linked from the Xenonauts website. It's here. - it's mean awesome every next build is much better that previously Ah, nice. Edited May 9, 2012 by IceVamp
jimbobfury Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Just out of curiosity, I'm assuming the demo is the same build as we're currently playing? I only ask because on the screenshots of the geoscape the interceptors have red lines connecting them to the UFO they're heading for and the Buzzard armour seems to be shown during the video.
Kilrathi Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I did a super quick write up of the basics on the wiki. But it's not linked from the forum. And the wiki isn't linked from the Xenonauts website. Maybe mention it in the comments or something? I'm just thinking if I were totally new to the genre and hadn't played X-Com, I wouldn't necessarily know where to start and that would make me less likely to get into the game and contribute.

Donkeyfumbler Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Nice piece by Alec on RPS (as usual). The fact that they get over 2 million unique visits every month can't hurt http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05/09/it-started-with-a-kick-a-xenonauts-preview/
IceVamp Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Think we might hit 20% in the first day. o.0 Scratch that. DEMOLISH 20% in the first day. Edited May 9, 2012 by IceVamp
Silichna Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Whoop Whoop!!! $60 dollars well spent and a birthday present sorted out too. Thank you Trebor... Sorry I mean Goldhawk.
Hellstormer Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Wow. The sky is the limit based on this amazing start!! I'll drop my coins in once I get an answer to some questions... but good to see such a great start to this.
Gorlom Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) ! I hope Tubby McChubbles pledged 100$ and has a proper ID that reads the same (I know, wishful thinking) Anyone else found any nice name(s) among the pledgers? Edited May 9, 2012 by Gorlom
Hellstormer Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Yeah I was just wondering if we could include in the actual name a middle "nickname" but after reading the FAQ it doesn't seem like it. I was really trying to sneak Hellstormer into the game somehow hehehe
IceVamp Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 It's fantastic! And it makes people more willing to give when they see so many others having faith in the project.
Hellstormer Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I'm sure RPS already knew this was coming but I emailed Alec today about it. No idea how much they check emails from random people over there at RPS but it can't hurt to try right? Speaking of RPS here's a link to an article on Xenonauts!! http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05/09/it-started-with-a-kick-a-xenonauts-preview/
Kilrathi Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Gorlom - Have you been stalking me? How'd you know my real name? (on a random but related note, IceVamp I think I spotted your twitter feed, just based on your forum avatar. I saw your twitter post and thought, hey, that guy looks like IceVamp's avatar!) The project is the top "staff pick" on the Kickstarter games page - that's got to be good news! -Tubby McC Edited May 9, 2012 by Kilrathi
jimbobfury Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 The progress so far seems great! And it seems as if the previews have started sneaking out around the internet now too, so that will hopefully translate to more backers. Here's one of the better previews I've read so far. Very indepth, and like all of the articles I've seen so far today, overwhelmingly positive! http://www.armchairgeneral.com/xenonauts-pc-game-preview.htm
Belmakor Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I predict your going to reach your target by the end of tomorrow. =)
