40k until we're out of Lab Zero (the stage) themed characters, I like Brain Drain but I'm ready to move on to Cerebella's troupe now.

Siiick. Glad to see there's some support for the game in the Valve-verse.
We're going to have to hold off a bit on some of the higher tiers, because we're afraid of running out of places to put NPCs, and the rewards taking away too much time from actually making characters.
Super-rare/exclusive TF2 hat tier? (Completely serious.)
Add a shout out button to the game. It would work like a taunt, but instead of new animation it displays a word bubble with a random contributor's name in it.
We tried multiplexing character development on the core game, and it just doesn't work for us. It's hard enough to manage like 100 contractors generating 4500 unique pieces of art for one character.
But also, people get used to drawing a certain thing and it becomes easier the longer you do it, so going back and forth between characters could actually slow things down or reduce quality.
So we'll release the characters one at a time, so there's something new coming in every 3-4 months.
Still working this out - we'll probably get something, but likely not much.
Autumn knows full well they put us in a bad position and are really impressed with how much we've accomplished in light of the months of near-constant setbacks, but they also still have an obligation to their investors. So it's just a matter of finding that balance.

I backed this yesterday with $30.
I've been waiting for the PC version since this game was announced.
I'm totally looking forward to the beta test, actually.

Just wondering how you guys are going to get past eating ramen if a bunch of these chars get sourced. I know how much of a haircut you guys are taking, and you deserve better (you can say that about thousands of folks, but you guys really do, I've rarely seen devs put this much into a game)
Probably not, to be honest?
Like, if we end up between goals we might use some of that money to, like... spring for health insurance? But we really plan to use it to make more stuff for the game.
ok how about a pony with a unicorn horn right
right okay
and she has a horn that fires projectiles
right right
still following me
and she has a tail that glows and sparkles when she charges it
and she has a mlp colorset
bam, skullgirls 2 funded

jokes aside, if they did another fund drive for a pony oc designed by /mlp/, it would easily get funded

That Big Band VA vid is neat actually. Most amateur VAs are terrible. It's a good execution of a concept for how the character could sound - but for all we know he could have a musical riff on Sentinel's voice or something.
I might run some streams to raise awareness on Twitch, but I'll need to grab the game for PS3 first given that it's the updated version.

Only if it surpasses a certain amount of money.
Read the Indiegogo page, it explains it all.
"If?"
My boy, I think the word "if" is now the wrong word to use in this thread.

Nonononono!
Skullgirls has a fair share of half-animal characters like Ms. Fortune and the fish folk (IIRC some NPCs call them ferals, with the fish folk specifically being called dagonians, right?), so if it was to add a horse-like character, and given the lack of male characters, there's only one obvious inspiration - and that's Thirty-Thirty from Bravestarr:
Or make that female too and call her Sarah Jane.

Scorecard time, and the pace has noticeably dropped off, which is to be expected for any Kickstarter-esque thing. We're currently standing at $213,153, still enough to overtake Pure Pwnage The Movie for the 25th all time biggest project on Indiegogo.

Yay, GeneralIvan. I'm glad he's finally getting roles in bigger things, he's a good VA. Hopefully they think about getting him after a few more auditions~!
Yeah, we're scrambling to shift gears to Big Band, because we weren't exactly prepared for this to happen in a single day.
He will never have as much stuff as Squigly has, since she had completed preproduction by the time we were laid off, but we should be able to show everyone the pre-production process.
It may also be somewhat the lack of high-end rewards.
getting Big Band would be enough right now.
I just hope some studio sees this drive and wishes to fund a sequel or new IP. I know Lab Zero is trying.
I'd love to see a Lab Zero/Gaslamp games mash-up (Dredmor), that would be pure insanity. Just imagine Slime Diggles.

As in "Heathcliff"
Welp, I only have arcade stick for XBOX so I guess I wouldn't able to pick this game up until they release the patch.
We're racking our brains trying to come up with new things that might be actually worthwhile.
Like, IGG's suggesting a $5000 "meet the team" perk. Maybe I'm just being modest, but I don't think anyone would pay to meet us? And it's not like we've got a cool office to hang out in or where people can watch us work, or anything like that - everyone's working from home for the foreseeable future.
Maybe do the meet and greet at some major? IF they can drop $5k, they can fly out there.
Another idea: sell cosplay outfits, though that would also be expensive.
OK, there might be something to this...
Fly to Evo, get accommodations provided, hang out with the team?
I think we priced the initial sculpture around $1500 or so. Manufacturing costs are reasonable, but only if you end up making a lot of them.

Do you mean that's what the tier would need to be or that's how much it costs to actually make?
Depending on how much a lot is, it would be a good high level tier as long as it's truly limited, which of course it would be in this case. So yea, how much is a lot?

If you made it a truly one-of-a-kind thing, people would be willing to pay way more than the actual bill of materials.
The first one would cost $1500, but subsequent ones would cost a lot less. How much less depends on how many we make, though.
Like, I bought those insane Ratchet and Clank figures that Insomniac made for themselves through a friend. I spent $150 on those, which was at cost, but that's because they only made 300.

I feel like the main problem with this is one you were worried about when you were first putting the tiers together, that the prize would suck up too much of the funds.
But yea, as long as the quality is high enough, 300 at $1500 might do well. I think the real question is how much you guys are willing to spend on them to determine how many you can make.
If they were okay quality outfits (I mean in terms of fabrics/durability/longevity), that would be SUPER expensive.
