Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
More people who've learned from Rich's success:
Atomic Robo has a Kickstarter to finish the animated short they started two years ago. It beat its goal in three days. So now they're setting new goals, including as many as four new full-fledged shorts, additional donor rewards, the development of an iOS pinball game, etc.Last edited by Shale; 2012-03-05 at 11:10 AM.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Just a minor concern regarding the Sticky Shticks adventure game expansion:
I pledged $40 and chose the $24 reward package. I had added $10 onto my pledge to cover shipping to the UK and $6 to add a Sticky Shticks expansion. However, I recieved when I the reward email on February 27th, there didn't seem to be an option to add the expansion. Have I misunderstood here?

Now buried in the comment section over on the Kickstarter Drive....

Also, I messed up the $24 level and left out the choice for Sticky Shticks. If you pledged at that level and included the $6 extra, just indicate it in the Comments field. Sorry.

So is this the beast Rich is going to buy from the excess pledge money?

I think that's what he keeps referring to as a Cintaq, yes.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I have to go with that assessment. Under normal circumstances, I'd be a little green eyed monster of envy. But, nope... not in these circumstances.

A thought bout the kickstarter banner
Whoa... on the kickstarter banner is Elan, Hayley, Durkon and Roy... but NO Belkar(that will be dead on the end of the year) and Vaarsuvius that fell into the trap... well, probably (or i hope) it is just a stupid thought. But if that it does mean the end of Vaarsuvius...

Re: A thought bout the kickstarter banner
That's just part of continuing the comic story from the Kickstarter update charts. Belkar is tied up with a long line of people beating him up, and Vaarsuvius is in that line waiting for a turn.

Re: A thought bout the kickstarter banner
It's taken from the final chart, where Belkar was too busy being kicked to say thanks, and Vaarsuvius was too busy lining up to kick him.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
This reminds me - just before the drive ended, Rich conceeded and agreed that some of the funds would go to assorted this-and-that (like the Cintiq, upgraded servers, etc).
But that line/status is missing from the Workometer. Rich, you cannot leave that off - you deserve it, and are entitled to it!!

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Seconded!
Add "Office Supplies" on the workmeter, as well: that'll include a reinforced desk, a wonderfully ergonomic chair (leather optional) and, more importantly, a new rig to cope with the new tablet-kit. And, all well deserved.
Filing cabinets might have to happen to deal with the IRS back-draft from the drive, but, they're more boring... I mean the cabinets, not the IRS. Honest!'~:. F5 Camper With Muscle-Memory Issues .:~'

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I'm not sure if the Giant would consider it a necessity or a sacrilege to put some Order of the Stickers on the Cintiq. But I'd certainly appreciate an action shot with a bestickered Cintiq

Re: A thought bout the kickstarter banner
I figured that it would just look too forced for V to be smiling appreciatively, he/she does a little of this but none of this. And Belkar smiling is just scary.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Want do we want? A new Work-o-meter!
When do we want it? When Rich can provide it without noticeably affecting the quality and update schedule of the main comic!Nothing to see here, move along.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Actually, I would say the Workometer shows the progress of REWARDS... and any other stuff that he announced would happen as goals were met, etc. And there is no problem with it showing rewards for himself.
Just as the workometer shows the progress of the reprinting of the books (several goals), and the progress of various strips/PDFs (more goals), and even the progress of other extras like coloring books (yet more goals), it also deserves showing the status that 'operating fund' reward (albeit a reward to himself).
No, I'm not asking for every minute detail of how he spends it, just something to show that he is indeed processing those funds. He designs new plans for the site - yellow box lights up. He pays for the IT help to do it - green box lights up. He buys his Cintiq - another green box is light up. He secretly takes a break and goes to Disneyland - all we know is... another green box lights up.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Well, a cintiq seems a fine tool, and i expect rich would probably find good use for it to produce more oots, so it would be an oots-oriented purchase and not personal swag.
And anyway, even after you take away taxes, shipping, what is due to kickstarter and amazon, and the cost of the various stuff, rich should still end up with enough money to buy one.
But on another topic, he said he would try to update at the beginning of this week, and still no new kickstarter update. Shall I start to get worried?In memory of Evisceratus: he dreamed of a better world, but he lacked the class levels to make the dream come true.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
No update yet because I didn't manage to get enough done to warrant it. Generally, the updates will come when I have something to report, and this week has been filled with meetings and appointments, but not much progress. Maybe tonight or tomorrow.
That said, the magnets arrived in Houston today. Shipping of magnet-only packages should begin tomorrow.Rich Burlew

New update!
… so many boxes with envelopes! =O
(And seeing the picture of the Roy magnet really really makes me wish there was a way for me to get the other three magnets. Having an incomplete set makes my collector heart sad. )

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
What? Magnets do not stick to wood? Since when??
Wow, I can't imagine what a headache that first item on Five Things Rich Did Since the Last Update must have been. That sounds like the kind of thing that would leave you banging your head against the wall in frustration.
