I am a simple man.I want a beard on my character's face and a bees sitting on his table. Also to start chain of Crazy Vasili's Wacky Discount Item stores, world domination (if time permits) all the sand in the desert (I need a castle, of SAND!) a few dozen unicycles and the biggest Oktoberfest style stein that can be found!

Pity he disappeared. He was amusing, in his own way.

At least he left us with another forum go-to meme.

I noticed you say you cant use kickstarter as it only lets US people use it,this is not true.I have just just supported a company who are from Belarus Minsk http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/168 ... -eisenwald if they can do it i see no reason why you cant,Good luck :).

yes ive seen that but its indiegogo NOT kickstarter,yes they do a similar thing but Kickstarter is MUCH bigger and more recognised.Anyway my point was that he said he couldnt get kickstarter because it was US only and it isnt.

Ps why is this in modding,what has Kickstarter got to do with modding ??.

PPS What do people like me who backed this project before the indiegogo program started get ?can we increase what we have paid and have it meet one of the goals.

Thats seems a bit unfair,i would of thought that as we have been supporting the game from the beginning (in my case) we would of got something as a thank you.Oh well you live and LEARN i guess.

Theres nothing I can do about that. I can't modify the source code of indiegogo so that it recognises your game key and adds credit to your account. And I can't get every single user to email me their key and I'll cross reference it with my records and then manually add something to their account because there would be hundreds, I'd take weeks.

Its all technical, I can't link all this stuff up. Same reason I limited the forum title bonus to 10 people, its because I have to manually add the title to each person.

Now this I don't get, manually adding a title to each person in exchange for...money? isn't that what you were after? $10 (hell I'd have probably paid $20 when it first came up) for a few minutes of your time; even top-class lawyers struggle to make that kind of income per hour. Sure it's probably boring work for 20 minutes but you already made $100 off the first 10 people.

Well when you put it like that, maybe I'll add a few more to the page. Check there now if you are interested.

I hope you guys understand though why I can't give bonuses to the early buyers. I'd like to if I could.

Heh, price went up slightly. I've been having a good birthday so far today and am in a good mood so I'll stare at it for a few minutes and see if it makes me want to buy it. I almost feel obliged now since I made such a fuss in this thread. ;)

As for other bonuses for prebuying.... I think most of us know what we signed up for. We got early alpha access and paid the money for that. I am well satisfied and I have no doubt that all the core people on this forum are well satisfied as well. All I really want has now been opened up to me, you have my undying gratitude until at least the end of the day! :twisted:

EDIT: Lucky I pulled that window up, I kinda forgot about it for an hour or two. But it's all done now. You now have 1500 more of my hard earned yen. It might buy you a pizza or something in the coming months. Good luck with the game coding.

Good addition, I do believe that the forum status perk will sell well.







Also, happy birthday Blxz!
P.S You better be eating a birthday bees, not cake.

Are you going to put up a "real" kickstarter at any point?

Its been said before, but it is only for american businesses. There are ways around that such as creating a puppet american bank account (or something) or having someone else run his kickstarter campaign for him but I don't think chriss is willing to do this. He may consider it in the future as I don't think he has written the possibility off but most likely not until development is further along.

I probably will, but it will take a looong time to set up an american business and bank account. It was enough hassle doing it in england.

Even though only 60% of the projects are accepted to Kick-starter, only about 50% of those have succeeded, and about 43% have failed.
