Call Kotaku, sexual harassment starfish.
She looks more like a Naga than a mermaid to me.
700k could be within reach. Let's make it happen! Let's go, Ibuki Shantae!
It's going to take a crazy final day for that to happen, which I suppose is always possible.700k could be within reach.
I would also guess that the other bonus chapters will make it in as DLC later on.

They're not intended for anything yet, they're just broad ideas that they setup as stretch goals.Problem I have with that is that it seems they were intended to be sandwiched between the beginning and end levels, and any extra transformations/abilities gained would have had an impact/use in later stages. Can that still be accomplished as DLC after the game is complete?
The new update says that if you are at $55 or more, each extra copy you pay for (+$15) will nab you an extra Tinkerbat DLC code.
You know, I'm probably just being ludditical here, but something really irks me about releasing a piece of software with sections/features permanently locked off for anyone not part of a promotion.
I understand physical extras, and I understand downloadable extras (music, art, etc). However, releasing the game with features stripped out for non-backers irks me to no end.
I don't know why it should bother anyone so much. One you pay for the "retail" edition of the game, you get everything that's included in that monetary purchase. The people who showed support for a product early on, and likely gave even more money for it than required, get something extra. They paid more, they showed faith in their support, though they'd have to wait to see a return on their investment. They deserve it.
At this time wed like to thank everyone whos helped fund this game by offering one more Backer Exclusive costume -- Classic Risky -- free of charge!

Well, it's partially the whole "lost to the ages" concept, partially the feeling that pieces of the game experience are being intentionally held back. I just feel that anyone purchasing a piece of software should be able to get (or, better yet, GET) every part of that software purchase.
(Yes, I dislike promo codes for limited items too.)
The problem is that you're thinking of it as things that are being "stripped out," when the reality of it is that they're things being added in thanks to the people that are supporting their project. And in MOST cases, they are very minor things like a palette swap (a personal weakness of mine), a costume or a little unique weapon or trinket. I'm pretty much fine with that, even though I do not back many games on Kickstarter and will miss out on some of these things when I buy games after they are released.You know, I'm probably just being ludditical here, but something really irks me about releasing a piece of software with sections/features permanently locked off for anyone not part of a promotion.

Haha, I made that exact change yesterday.ugh i'm gonna hate myself later
Then the people at the $12 tier wouldn't get them. Also, spots in the $12 tier open up when people cancel it and go for the higher ones.Alt color Risky is a nice nod, and that OctoBra... that's "fanart" bait if I ever saw it, lol.
(And shouldn't they be saying "at 15 bucks or above"? The $12 tier to get the game has been sold out for a while, right?)
Now what I'm NOT a fan of is when they start putting that stuff into high dollar backer tiers. At that point it starts to feel slightly gross and predatory. I only caved in to the Tinkerbat transformation because I actually wanted to SUPPORT the game and WayForward. I also felt better about it once they announced the two (now three) free bonuses that were for ALL backers.
I hope I don't come to that point. This is a dangerous road I'm traveling!Haha, I made that exact change yesterday.
Today I am at $105 (for the physical CD and two extra copies of the game).

Awesome!
Someone screenshot this while they were drawing the "starfish bra". Lol.
Ahhh, that Octo reminds me of "Big Earl"... impressive loss of weight for him! Good to see he's makin' a living without Toejam!
In my case, it's because I shouldn't be spending money on things like this. But I am anyway! lolWhat's with all these people sad that they're upping their pledges? Rejoice!
I hope EuroGAF does some good work on this tonight, I want to wake up and see numbers.

Everyone knows that's Patrick.
Cookie Clicker cross promotion. Now.If you'd like to see numbers, might I suggest Cookie Clicker?
;P
$646,000 right now, so the costumes should be a lock.
Depending on how well their final day goes, they could very well nickel and dime their way to $800,000 through PayPal depending on how long they keep that open (and how well they push that to keep bringing pledges in).
I don't know, that would be more than their first two days combined. I think they will probably match their first day or so. That should leave about $60,000 or $70,000 for PayPal, which I think they'll get. Yeah, I'm feeling good about pigtail genie being in the final game.I think $150k from here before the end of the kickstarter isn't unreasonable due to the typical final day kickstarter push. It will probably be close though regarding hitting $800k. And I definitely can't see it reaching a goal beyond that.
Would love to be proven wrong though.
