poulwrist Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Crazy stuff this hope we don't run out of steam before we hit the goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-DEX Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Amazing! Over $21,000 pledged within 24 hours...and over thirty-five people contributing $200! If $50,000 is indeed the goal, I think you will make it very soon, Chris. Fantastic support so far. Again, I am amazed. Edited May 9, 2012 by P-DEX bad numbers! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 P-Dex is that last 0 a typo or am I missing something? only 34 backers on the $200 and over rewards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poulwrist Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 and over TWO HUNDRED people contributing $200! Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashman Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Chris The $500 tier is a little lacking. Two ideas. 1) Add an original piece of printed art perhaps for 500. Depends how your mockup art is done.. by hand or pc and the location of your artist etc for feasibility. It doesn't need to be framed, just shipped securely. 2) Add a $ 350 tier. Say 10 copies. For this -As $200 + your home town/place of your choosing will appear on the strategic map and can appear in the scroll text. You get to choose the message linked to the attack- provided it is deemed game appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endogen Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Boys, this is amazing! 21.000 right now, and that is shocking because a few hours ago, this thing was at 3.000 .... WOW! I am so grad that this is going that well. GREAT game btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidsoft Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Over $21,000 pledged within 24 hours...and over TWO HUNDRED people contributing $200! Think you misread something somewhere If over 200 people contributed $200 then it would be above $40000 minimum already There are 34 backers of the $200 tier as I'm writing this.

Or maybe a piece of art with the backer in it (your artist will have to do the portrait anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stx Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Chris, I hoped you could reach your Kickstarter goal... I am myself a great fan of XCOM, it is my favorite game. I had hoped someone would try to do a real remake. As this forum shows, it seems I'm not the only one. Then came the Kickstarter. If it goes on like this, Xenonauts will blow the target funding in a few days! It seem also the aliens are donating money! That's very kind of them....

radister Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hmm, i date with chris is very tempting... but i just can't afford that kind of money for a date. oh well i settle for a t-shirt yays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamZe Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 So whose gonna pay 5k for a date with Chris? Maybe some rich widow, who knows Chris might get more out of it than he expects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that some day stareing into those dreamy blue eyes in the video isn't going to be enough. That at some point you have to have more. That 5k will eventually seem cheap for a night out on the town, maybe a movie and a candlelit dinner with live music.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Or maybe Firaxis will invite me over and beat me up! Wow. This is all going well, isn't it? Nearly $25,000 in one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTuninator Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Question; as someone who was a Premium pre-order through this site, am I able to somehow option a t-shirt? I quite possibly might throw $10-20 down for one if offered the option. Glad to see you guys are doing well so far, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Tunilator that has been answered both on this forum and in the kickstarter FAQ: Yes, as long as you send an acompaning email with proof of purhase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
