Project Scissors: NightCry (Clock Tower Spiritual Successor) PC Kickstarter ($300k)
- Thread starter Takao
- Start date
I thought the Vita version was the base game and that the PC version is just taking advantage of stronger hardware?

Maybe it's a bit too soon, but congratulations Playism, I really thought you wouldn't manage to pull it.

$6k to go! Final stretch!
Yeah, I would have liked to have reached 400K to get the extra playable character and even more ways to die.
But I guess I should be thankful they're going to make their funding. Still wish they could get more funding and backers.
Has this project been advertised by any big websites?

They've been getting large donations over the past week or so. They had a really rough start but it must be in the bag now 💃

This has to be one of the greatest kickstarter comeback stories, at least in the gaming field.
What a turn around!
I'm absolutely stoked for the team and eternally thankful for the (comparatively) small crowd of dedicated and generous backers.

I never checked a kickstarter page this often before.
There is no reason for that.They are going to make it for sure.

Never underestimate that final stretch backer push on a Kickstarter.

Same/this is the first kick starter I've ever given a lot of attention. Glad they're gonna make it.

Same here. For the first 2 weeks it was the first thing I looked at in the morning on my phone, the first thing I checked on the tube home from work and the last thing to look at before falling asleep.
It got too depressing, though, and I had to stop.
When I came back to it about a week later I was equally in shock and in absolute joy

They past 300k. Congratulations to the team.
Yeah, projects that get over 60% of the total are almost certain to be successful in the end.

Why are they asking for only 300k? I'm fairly certain each and every Clock Tower game had a way higher budget than that and I hate seeing yet another Kickstarter where they asked for too little cause of poor budgeting and then aren't able to deliver.

Well, there was something to worry about, I don't think this Kickstarter wouldn't of passed if some key things didn't happen in the last week, a big part of it being big horror lovers such as myself, AlphaOmegaSin, and more reporting on the game in the last week and making a push to try and raise awareness. It was after some bigger youTubers, streamers, and finally sites started pushing for it in the last week that it finally started seeing the money amounts go up, a little over week ago it wasn't even half-way to it's goal. I'm happy it looks like it'll make it though there may be some fund drops soon so hoping it goes a little over just in case, but this is barely cutting it and likely wouldn't of happened unfortunately if some people didn't step it to the plate to promote this.
This all said, very happy it passed and looking forward to the PC version. A shame some of the extended goals won't be reached, but the main goal, getting a PC version and a version just not on handhelds, has been reached.
The Kickstarter isn't to fund the whole game, it's for funding a version that isn't Vita/Mobile, the main goal to make a PC version. The game was going to be made regardless, funded out of the own director's pocket and some money friends invested in him for the project. For budgeting, they couldn't make a PC version, but the $300,000 will cover it. There's stretch goals for a PS4/Xbox One version, but realistically I don't think any of us expected these to be reached unless some sort of miracle happened.
Also, they had another simultaneous funding program happening over on a Japanese site, don't know the full details on that but someone here explained it earlier.

Yay they passed their Goal!
Yay, they made it!
That reminded me, their separate Japanese Campfire campaign:

is at 2,927,000 of 3,000,000 yen now, so almost there.

With them so close and already working on Vita, any chance Sony could help out and get it on PS4 too? I would love it there on the big screen with the headphones on. Glad a PC version is happening though, I can get that down the line

Did I just hear a bunch of corks pop? Amazing that this actually got funded.
Woo Hoo! So glad to see this pull out a win at the last minute! Definite kudos to the people responsible for turning things around and getting the word out. Also to whoever came up with the means to get those expensive tiers to be supported.
Someone should update the thread title that it's been "FUNDED"

They made it?! Impressive! Hyped!
Their seperate Campfire campaign also just made it by the way:
http://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/1443
over 3,000,000 yen. (about 25K USD) That still has a week left though.
I wonder if that'll go towards any strech goals of the kickstarter or if it's seperate.
It's more than a mockup yeah, but I also isn't final at all. I think with some more work on the animations and a better framerate it'll look very solid.
