I think there was some initial backlash from the gamer/Descent community due to the initial pitch and info available (e.g., some erroneously speculated this project led to Sol Contingency being shut down), but I think DaDakota and his team have done a good job of easing those concerns and showing they are capable of making a game the fans want. Definitely seems like impressions became more positive over time. Still pretty close with ~4 hours to go, but as mentioned, it seems very likely this will end up funded. Congrats to DD and his team.
3 hours to go with a little more than $8k needed. It's been pretty steadily increasing so looks like they'll get it with an hour or two to spare.
Yet again, I underestimated. I said 1-2 hours left over and they made it with 3 to spare. Congrats, DD!
Congrats DD! I'm not familiar with Kickstarter or how it works but with people giving you 600K I personally would go out and buy a Ferrari or something.
I'm interested in your product DD. Do you ship to Nigeria? This is of utmost immediate importance since there are only 75 minutes for this offer.
Wow - thanks you guys, what a rush, 9 hours of livestreaming, I am shot, and now on a plane tomorrow to give a talk on crowdfunding at the Heartland gaming conference. I need a nap. DD
well done Eric! You are an inspiration to many people, and clearly drive their passion and build work environments for them to do it, at significant personal expense on your part... p a s s i o n. Awesome career you have, and what you do for others. btw: what do you think of Ryan's new software? Maybe go offline. Curious what you think. Cheers, DD
thanks for making cool cutting edge games! also thanks for not making crappy japanese RPGs like Final Fantasy
So the Clutchfans nose art is gonna happen? I am gonna tell DD I am tycoonchip and get a 99er logo on my ship. Thoughts tinman?
Y Good stuff, DD. You have a passion and it shows and it sounds like you make some serious bank off of it. Not everyone gets to do what they want when it comes to work. I would love to get to paid to talk about sports. I have a face for tv. Jk I'm not a huge gamer. Just been playing MCC. Will get Titanfall 2 and Halo 5 when it comes out. Good at all sports games but stopped buying them bc I felt like I wasn't playing them enough.
Congrats just saw this thread. I'm not in on FPS (Motion sickness issues) but I will vouch for DD and bet this will be a kickass game. I have played some of his past stuff and have no doubt this will be great.
