You think its irresponsible to expect that the DLC can be funded by sales revenue? I think intial sales should have some indication of whether it makes sense persue DLC, especially on a risky kickstarter project. You don't even need to have the cash in hand to start, just go to a bank and get a business loan.

I totally get what you mean. I am not a backer either, I am more or less seeing how the entire thing pans out. Maybe the DLC will be free like Skullgirls characters are for a limited time? It's wishful thinking but it would be nice.
That is another can of worms. Asking for money to make the game because you have money on the side to make a animated series...that will be used to promote the game that is funded through crowd funding.
Ugh.

i wouldnt be as disappointed if they just switched the art style back to the cel shaded concept art.

In a normal situation where the developers were part of a company and knew they'd still be working together months after release, that approach would possibly make sense. But as has been stated in this thread already, they're probably making individual plans to move on to separate projects when this is finished. When you're a freelancer, it's reasonable and responsible to start looking for your next project before you're done with your current one.
The way I see it, this DLC stretch-goal is just that.

I guess there isn't a tight copyright law in Japan?
Afaik Japan has one of the "worst" copyright law for pirating stuff, but strangely when it comes to those things, no one cares.

I'm so super glad I pulled my funded from this.
At first, it was just to add more to Shantae, but now I know there was a greater, cosmic reason to it.

He even has the Bass.EXE/Black Getter cape, c'mon. I am hoping for beam axes at the very least.

This is something that gets me, too many people tend to take an extreme view towards crowdfunding, and I don't understand why. If you like what is being promised, support it, moderately.
The whole concept of crowdfunding is based not only on large numbers of backers, but also on large numbers of different projects over an extended period of time. This model will live or die on its ability to create sustainable feedback loops between creator and audience.
If you go in paying $300 every time you see a project you like, you'll burn yourself out on the concept pretty quickly, and that hurts crowdfunding's chances of surviving in the long term.

That this actually gets defended by some... I bet these same people, including MarkMacD, would completely oppose an additional third kickstarter for DLC of a crowedfunded game that isn't even released yet. Fucking kickstarting DLC and now acting like yeh, that's completely cool in actuality because game development ain't easy and shit.
The 8-4-podcast would've laughed such an idea out of the room a year or two back. But those guys always point out their bias due to their job and involvement, so MarkMacD surely won't take offense when I can't take this seriously.

I like how this project is the whipping boy for the usual Kickstarter hate crowd. Inafune is to blame for that of course, he's such an easy target.

They need a kickstarter for his next kickstarter.
C'mon guys. The "sequel" to a Astroboy/Casshern rip-off rip offing other classic robot animes like its predecessor did is bad?
I mean, yeah, I would prefer if they got Yusuke Murata to design another Robot Master or Toru Nakayama to collaborate with Inti again, but a Shin Getter character is totally ok if you ask me.

Feel bad for the low-level staff
Something tells me that they and the money don't know each other very well

People are taking this way to personally. This is a completely separate proposition from the original KS. You're free to ignore it, and that has no effect on what you already paid to receive. Asking for more money for additional content doesn't make these guys evil when they are being completely transparent about it.

More than likely he will just use a beam saber
Salaries of probably over 20+ ppl involved
rent/lease for their office
utilities
supplies and equipment
if there is any voice work, they need to pay studio, actor, engineer
Im forgetting expenses though

I'm often wondering what the point of these "personally" statements are.
I'm voicing an opinion on their business practices and henceforth I'm "taking it too personally"? Nah, I don't think anything about this is targeted at me specifically whatsoever. I never even participated in this kickstarter, so no, it's nothing personal to me.

As an outsider, let me just say I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Inafune exploit desperate Mega Man fans for a game that, quite frankly, doesn't even look or sound that hot.
Reading his description, one of his main points is having a hole in the chest. Getter Beam ahoy!More than likely he will just use a beam saber

Won't the people that back this get it for free though?
Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
How about actually releasing your title before going back to the Kickstarter well, Inafune?
Just say no to frivolous (or just in general!) kickstarters.
I really haven't kept up with all the developments this thing has gone through since pledging for the first campaign, but it's really been interesting to see how the whole thing is being handled. I'm interested in seeing its final form still, but it's going to be such an avalanche of fan backlash if the end product doesn't deliver or worse, delivers only enough with the core gameplay and nothing more.
