I guess people really want the customizable cities thing.

Over 19,000 individual backers too. Must feel great for them.

I just did my part and backed the project. This looks so cool and right up my alley because I love anything involving vikings.

I was going to donate $25 but knowing that I only get the first chapter I may just wait for the game to come out and buy on a sale. At least I have half the day to decide.

You can always drop $10 to get first episode only.

The first chapter is a complete game in itself, you'll be waiting years if you want the whole trilogy.
Think I'm just going to donate $10 and get the first episode. Can't really justify spending $50 right now, especially with the other kickstarters I need to back.

16k left to go. This might come right down to the wire.

They'll make it. If it gets really close at the end I think a lot of people are going to fall off the fence who might otherwise have been holding out on pledging or upping their donation.

Apparently the chapter is a proper game unto itself, it's not just one third of a real sized game.

Last minute update.
They will try to get free console versions to all the backers who want it, if Sony and Microsoft allow this. Vita port is possible but will not be done until much later if at all. It sounds like someone worked out a separate deal for the $4500 tier and other prizes. Game might be delayed into 2013 to add all the new shit. Will be translated into German, French, Italian and Spanish. Strangely, no Dutch.
Edit: Oh yeah it's spiking now. 690k. 10k to go.

9k left to go. It's gonna happen.
First and foremost it needs a translation in Old Norse for the true Viking roleplayer. A collection of modern Scandinavian languages to pay tribute is also acceptable.
Pretty exciting that the $700k goal is within reach.

It's not spur of the moment, it's been mentioned as a goal on the main page since the very beginning.

7k to go with 5 hours left.

3k left. They'll make their goal and then some.

Ah thanks for the info on the Chapter one stuff. Guess I'll throw my money into the ring.

So any bets on how many people are going to show up at that pub tomorrow? They said they told the place that 10-20 people might show up. I have a feeling that it's going to be a lot more.
I'm thinking more. I live 45 minutes from there, so I'll probably show up.

WOOOOHOOOO
Let's get a title update in here! Still 4 hours left.
They're going to need a bigger pub.

3pm tomorrow. They're going to be celebrating.
They issued an open invitation in their last video update.

Nice to see it hit 700k.
These guys really should have pushed for it sooner. They probably could have hit a million if they had thrown things like this out there throughout the duration of the kickstarter.

They weren't even sure they'd hit 100k, the whole thing took them entirely by surprise.
Yay it hit 700k! Can't wait to see the final product.

Hrm... that's tempting. Too bad it's not next weekend as I'll actually be in Austin for something else. If it weren't for the Diablo III open beta this weekend I wouldn't have any reason not to go.

They were actually talking about a Vita version with no irony. Fortunately that's not on the cards anytime soon.
Yep. In the survey those were my choices ... PC, Android & Vita.
I should really just get an iPad. Maybe I can convince my accountant it's work related?
Well seeing how the PSP was pretty much king of T/SRPG games, porting this to Vita is a no-brainer.

Yeah, but it seemed like that sat in the 500k range for a long time. They could have put out new goals sooner.

I ain't even gonna address that logical progression right there, but if people were throwing fits over ports to XBLA and PSN, can you imagine what would result from a Vita announcement?
