Root Double - Before Crime * After Days KS ($135k goal/Steam&Vita/Zero Escape-like)
- Thread starter Shizuka
- Start date
It sounds really interesting and in theory I'd like to contribute, but truth to be told, I just don't like VNs on PC very much. I like to read them before going to sleep, but playing PC games in bed is kinda difficult. ;p If mouse-only is enough to play the game, I could stream it to my phone, but that is kinda iffy as well.
If this will make its goal, I'll keep my eyes on the Vita version, though,

It's from the director of Ever17, I don't see the point is raising arms over the use of plurality.
Well he was both director and scenario writer so he had a plurality of roles.

The bump is over and it's slowed down a lot today.
They don't need hit 5k a day, not with how Kickstarters surge at the end. Doing 2.5k a day until the last few days would probably be enough.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Kicktraq estimates 87% of goal. It's going slower than I'd like but let's be optimistic.

So now you can get digital copies of both the PC and Vita versions for $99. Yay. But you don't get your name in the credits or anything.
Also those ridiculously priced high tiers that nobody bought into are a bit less ridiculously high now.

I'm a bit shocked by the price on the digital only $99 tier. I don't want a PC digital copy, just a copy for my Vita. There's no way it'll be priced at $99USD on the PSN store when it's released, so by backing it now I'll be subsidising the game for people who purchase after release...?

That's exactly it. I'm not seeing any reason I should change from my $60 tier that gives me physical and digital PC copies when I can just buy the Vita game on top of it for $30-40 when it releases.
Edit: Shouldn't the "Digital-Only Tier" at least come with the OST or something? That's the only way I could see it offering some kind of value.

The way they phrase it (permission) makes it sounds like Regista is making some calls about the pricing.

Well I haven't really been paying much attention to this but I think I'll back at $60 when I get paid since that seems to be a good deal.
I'll try to clear this up a bit.
We are doing this at a loss even at funding cause the original dev team is coming back. However we want to guarantee that the port can happen instead of stretch goals and the likes. So it's an effort with us and the fans together to make the port possible to exist in the first place. Me and dovac managed to negotiate new prices with the support they saw so far.
If you don't want to help out making this game available on the PSN and see if they decide to price it at your predicted price later down the road, that's totally respectable.

Yeah, I don't mean to be overly negative, I just don't particularly like not getting anything physical, so I probably won't be backing that tier.
Also, since it's a $99 tier should backers get their names in the credits?
We asked for them to clarify this. And please check back all week since we are in constant discussions for how to fulfill everyone's wishes for rewards. Don't be afraid to suggest ideas either.
Update: Yes Steam+Vita digital tier comes with name in credits.

Well those 2k tiers went quick. All three are gone already.

Thanks to that it just hit 2/3 funded ($90,000). With 8 days left to go, that's a pretty good sign considering the surge at the end, right?
Basileus777

Yes. The finals days usually resemble the opening ones. Based on that I've been saying that this needs to hit 100k before the final 3 days and that looks really likely now. With 8.5 days left, and this bump from the new tiers and Vita pricing still ongoing, this will probably get funded.
Thanks for all you're work and reconsiderations etc. We're going to make it :3
One question, would it be possible putting voice work as a download for psn so a physical game could happen?
I just want to point out that there is some inconsistency with the initial tiers vs the added tiers that should be corrected ASAP. Things like:
And:
Why is one limited and the other isn't? Why is the limited one worse than the open one?
It's not just there:
And:
Again, same situation as above.
And here:
And:
And here:
With:
I don't know if in the end, all backers for the same price range will get the tiers with the most items or not, but it's something that looks sloppy on a Kickstarter campaign. That's the one change I could point out, because the rest looks very well taken care of.

It looks like this should get funded now, given that it's hit $92,000 with 8 days left. It might still be a little close, but I think it will make it.
Geez, I want this on vita since I like VNs on handhelds but 99 bucks for a vita game? Eesh. I'll think about it. I know that this is probably the only way they could do it, even at a loss, but that's still asking a lot. I'll bookmark it and figure out if I can back in within the next week.
I think it's because KS doesn't allow you to REMOVE pledge points. I assume the equal price ones will get the same stuff, but who knows.

You can't change the description for already active tiers, so they just limited them and put new ones with the updated descriptions. No one is getting screwed, it's just a limitation of what Kickstarter allows changed. It is sloppy, but they understandably don't want to delete the old tiers and lose money.
I noticed it yesterday and just moved my pledge over to the one with the mug. A reminder might be nice, since I didn't even know that the new tiers were made till I checked.

I backed the one with my name in the credits (and, I think, PC and Vita versions and a mug). But why is that also $99, the same price as one where you get less?
Edit: Oh I see, you cant change tiers that are already active.

Joke's on you Sekai Project! Just preordered Valkyria Chronicles Remastered and Odin Sphere Leifthrasir Storybook Edition. That money could have been yours!
Oh well, on the off chance that you decide to grace us with paypal I will still throw you some money. It's up to you!
Oh, I know. Still, kinda frustrating for us plebian paypal people.

I have a pre-paid (ish? not sure of the term for it) MasterCard, and it has worked on literally all websites I've tried it on so far with the exception of PSN- Worked on Kickstarter as well, if memory serves.

Paypal doesn't really make sense while the campaign is going on, considering you can't conditionally pledge money through Paypal, unless I'm mistaken.
Why couldn't this work via Paypal preapproved payments? Works for Steam + Paypal and quite a few other services/shops! I remember buying the Corpse Party: BloodDrive Limited Edition in the Marvelous EU shop and they didn't bill me until they shipped the game. There are ways to make this work via Paypal.
But if the campaign didn't meet the goal, they'd have to remove the charge on your CC.
Well since the above is confirmed about pre-paid Visas, was that not something you could have done than saying "joke's on you"?
I know in some countries having a CC is uncommon especially in Europe.

Almost up to $95k now....

They're well on track here with 6.5 days to go. They'll break 100k by Saturday and the end surge will push them over.
We are working very hard on something for the final days. Before I head into the final negotiations, maybe you guys can tell me what you would most want to see done for the final few days? Any rewards you'd like to see, any changes you'd like to see?
Share it with me and I will take it to heart and go into the final battle for you.
