Hey All, Paul here again from PolyKid. Our Kickstarter just went LIVE an hour ago!
We've been working like crazy to put together a new trailer, the Kickstarter page and a playable demo for those who are able to attend our local launch party in San Francisco tomorrow night. We appreciate all the feedback from everyone so far and we'll need YOUR support to get Poi across the finish line, so please Back Us Here on Kickstarter if you can. Thanks all, back to work for me!
OK guys I believe in you. Don''t disappoint. First Kick-Starter also. You are from DigiPen so I know you are good.
I don't know if I am wondering about nothing, but your goal seems low for a console Indie. Are you sure you will be able to release to the eShop with $80K? This is for 2 guys to make it until July right?
(I see that this has also been green-lit)

Fix the typo and I'll back it.
LOL nice find! How embarrassing. :S After staring at that page for weeks now everything tends to blur together. Should be fixed now!

Neat, and on time for an early bird discount for once!
Really hope this not only succeeds, but blazes through to the local co-op and PS4 stretch goals now.

Looks awesome. My interest will be even more piqued if it gets close to that PS4 stretch goal (I don't have a gaming PC or WiiU).
Good luck regardless.

I clicked the Back this Project button right after i saw the game is already running in Wii U.

I subbed to this thread because the game looks great, but now that the Kickstarter actually started someone should start a new thread about that.

I dont see any problem with that... At all, the game is in alpha stage and already looks beautiful . Damn i wanna play this game right now...
Yeah, that's what sold me too. Want this on the Wii U and looked like they already have it running on the Gamepad, seemingly at 60 FPS.

This game looks adorable. When I get paid Friday I plan to back it. Love the art style and the characters, and the game looks like one where you can just run around having fun.

Looks pretty good, plus 3D platformers ARE one of my very favorite genres...
However, from seeing that latest trailer, there's something a bit "off" for my tastes... This may sound dumb but i really have no other word for it, the world seems a bit empty or "soulless" to me from the looks of things...
Then again, this may not actually be such a bad thing after all if it is indeed the case, since i recently completed a quirky little 3D platformer named Jett Rocket, and while at first i thought this same effect would bother me, it actually turned out to be quite charming BECAUSE of how isolated i felt and how "empty" the world was besides the platforming.
I will follow this one for sure

Added the KS link and new trailer to the first post, messaged a mod to edit the title
Great! Now it's definitely more badass.

Looks good, I donated. Hopefully the first 50 people donate another $10 or more each as a show of confidence. Hopefully they can raise $80k, game looks solid.
There's competition, but there'sthe "these are the people who are most likely to buy your game since they bought similar ones" factor.
To be honest, it's not like any console is drowning in 3D Platformers, not even Nintendo's.

So refreshing to see a dev show that it runs on Wii U from the start, even if it needs polishing. Usually mentioning Wii U is just to get people to back them and then say "oh, sorry, we can't do Wii U anymore because reasons".
The game looks charming and fun. It's also nice to see that it's a project they've already worked on for some time. Makes backing it much easier than to just see 2 pieces of concept art and a WIP 3D model.

This and is porting Unity from PC to WiiU not meant to be super simple.

Damn, thought a game this far ahead already, with perfectly clear intentions and reasonable stretch goals, would be most of the way to funded by now.
I wonder if this is some shitty knock on from the Red Ash debacle, or just the problem of third party titles not selling on Nintendo platforms even spreading to Kickstarter now?
Seriously though, this should be doing better. Bloody annoying.

Watched the trailer.
Saw that it was confirmed for WiiU NOT as a stretch goal.
You have my $20 good sirs!
Godspeed!

It has more to do with them lauching their KS with no warning and no fanfare, pretty much.

I actually dig the vast environments that appear to function more as just landscapes to traverse. Of course, it could just be because it's early and they plan on adding more elements(animals, shrubbery etc.), which would be fine, but I dig it as is.
Why wouldn't they choose PC? PC is the platform like 95 percent of KS games come out on because there is no barrier to entry.

Because more people are likely to buy a game like this on a Nintendo console and it's probably the least expensive home console to develop for.
It wouldnt, but okay.

Where the fuck is A Hat in Time? That game looked really good
