Update...

...dragon.

eep!

[SweetBB]

Update!! At last! Rich put up a cool colour coded rewards chart. Now if anyone has questions, we can just say "See update #16"!

[CoffeeIncluded]

Oh no, run for it, V!

Update!! At last! Rich put up a cool colour coded rewards chart. Now if anyone has questions, we can just say "See update #16"!

At least the $32 reward gives the option for adding the art print even if it doesn't include it outright. I'm keeping my pledge here.

[MammonAzrael]

So...either I'm getting the $25 print (and adding SSaDT), or I'm getting to complete collection and pledging $250...gah, I need to get that money! Huzzah for the awesome chart that makes it perfectly clear how much I want to donate!

[catsclaw227]

I already have all the books except for War and XPs. I am soooooo stoked that Rich is doing this kickstarter. I pledged for $45 + $5 to get an extra coloring book, but I also wanted the 8x10 so I logged in as my daughter and bought her a $25 pledge so I can get the print. That's $75 now, which is minimal compared to some of you, but it's a lot for me.

How can I get the whole set of magnets? Are they all still in print and can I up my pledge to add the remainder of the magnets?

Find someone who has them already and convince him to part with them.

Aside from the Roy magnet, they are all from limited print runs from a while back and will never be reprinted, so the number available is limited to the quantity Rich physically has and all of the complete sets are already spoken for.

Sorry.

We're number five! We're number five!

PS: The Elevation Dock has hit all-time first place, and headed for a million.

Personally, I'm shocked how popular a lump of aluminum can be.

[SaintRidley]

Personally, I'm shocked how popular a lump of aluminum can be.

As am I. I don't get why an iPod dock would be the thing to be popular like this. Of course, I don't get why iPods are popular either.

[Cazaril]

So I'm pretty sure that the dragon will be defeated by Roy falling on it.

[NerfTW]

This is assuming Priority Mail. There is always just Parcel Post.

No. He wouldn't ship parcel post. That's not a very secure way to ship. Lots of packages would end up missing or damaged. He's done it before and taken a severe hit replacing them. Unlike a company like Amazon, who can absorb the cost of damaged shipments, a small business owner can't take that risk.

[MoonCat]

Dammit. We need to raise up another 400,000 in the next 12 days. We must reach the top of the 10!

Mr Burlew, add more character appearances, or promise more really cool stuff. We must raise ourselves higher than this half million!

Man, I hate to be a buzzkill, but there is going to be a new #1 Kickstarter project in about 33 days:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...fine-adventure

Tim Schafer's DoubleFine announced tonight that they are funding their next game, a classic adventure game, through Kickstarter. And in the handful of hours it has been up, it has already raised more than 223,000 freaking dollars.

I'm actually super geeked about this. There's probably no individual developer whose work I enjoy more than Schafer's. And there's certainly no active developer today whose work I have been playing as long.

[Shale]

Wait, it wasn't enough to have Notch throwing money at them? Now they're going to conquer Kickstarter too? What could justif--DOES THAT SAY RON GILBERT?

Yessir. The Grumpy Gamer has been working for Double Fine for some time now:

As wonderful as this Kickstarter project has been, I'm ready to bow to the new King. Oh... and pledge, too.

(And just for Shale, one more awesome Ron Gilbert link: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1014732...tmortem-MANIAC)

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the Giant has spoiled us more than pretty much any project, ever. These are the first two KS projects I've ever donated to, but I've watched a quite a few over the last year and I've never seen anyone include as much stuff as the Giant has in his.

It's a really nice piece of aluminium?

Eh, at least we'll be in the top ten for quite a while.

[RMS Oceanic]

Yikes, it looks like Double Fine are going to hit their $400,000 target by the time my manager comes in in an hour or so.

Well I enjoyed Monkey Island et all when I was a lad, and I've heard nothing but good about Psychonauts, so I certainly don't begrudge Mister Schafer for what looks like a resounding success.

Kickstarter and similar sites are really exciting to follow.

[factotum]

Yessir. The Grumpy Gamer has been working for Double Fine for some time now

If you look on the Doublefine site it has some additional premium rewards past $10k, two of which are:

Pledge $30,000 or more:
Picture of Ron Gilbert smiling.

Pledge $35,000 or more:
Undoctored picture of Ron Gilbert smiling.



Anyway, since the Double Fine pledge drive ends in a different month to ours, it shouldn't affect it too much...

[The Succubus]

A new point and click adventure from Tim Schaefer and Ron Gilbert?!

EDIT: Forgive me, Rich, for I have sinned. I've pledged to another Kickstarter drive in addition to this one.

[Dr. Gamera]

You know, when you have a hoard of 500,000+ gold pieces, a dragon is likely to hear about it and show up to (try to) relieve you of the burden...

[Gullintanni]

Well...we'll be in the Top 5 for a few weeks after the OoTS Kickstarter closes at least...depending on how far we go we may stay there, despite of the game.

Speaking of which, we're barreling down on 1000% funded and 600K. Exciting times!

EDIT: OotS is also, as of this writing, Kickstarter's featured Project of the Day

[Weimann]

Woah, the Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter is already at $516,542 out of their $400,000 goal. How many hours ago was it posted again?

In other news, I upped my pledge to $259 for the whole pack, including shipment to Europe.

In further other news, Double K is having a pledge drive that ends in 34 hours. If you want to support the printing of the awesome Gurren Lagann-based buddy cop comic that's completely true to the original show's style (and if you still got ay funds left in your wallet), check it out.

Less than 24 hours...I suspect I know what project will be in Kickstarter's record-breaking first day takings for 2012!

[Shale]

Well, so much for fifth place...

[Smolder]

And Double Fine officially passes us!

No disrespect to other projects though. We've still secured the #1 in publishing and comics for all time! Now let's drive a few more nails into that coffin!

[Gullintanni]

Well, so much for fifth place...

Well...technically speaking they don't have fifth place until the drive ends. All their backers could theoretically pull out. So we'll hold 5th place for a few weeks in the time between when the OotS drive ends, and when the DoubleFine drive ends.

But yeah, basically, we're shaping up to be 1st in comics and 6th overall. Not bad, by any means.

[k_bukie]

I just hope everyone keeps in mind that this project isn't really competing with other projects. Really, at this point, the only "goals" that exist are to see how high the number gets.

Of course, I'm also under the impression that Rich is working on something...new for a goal.
