Support NeoGAF

[Jazzem]

Changed my $30 pledge to a $40 at the last second for the Vita version! I've got a VN backlog on PC as it is, so hopefully I'll be done with that by the time the portable version hits

 

[blacksark]

Why? It's not like there's something waiting for us at 155k. I'm glad the project is funded and Sekai Project will get to publish the game.

Yep, but the more we get the better, they have to develop a vita version that was not planned in the budget and that has to be expensive

The Vita version already exists.

Yes, you're right. I like the new path Sekai Project is headed, even if there are still loose ends from past projects.

 

[calc84maniac]

The Vita version already exists.

Still involves paying a company for development.

And they still need to rework the engine to support English text. And deal with any additional licensing or QA.

And certification process, etc. There is a lot of work involved, that's for sure.

I meant the english translation tss hahaha

 

[Basileus777]

And it's over. Funding (without Paypal) finished at 152,279.

 

[Shizuka]

I'll edit the OP once the additional week is over and the Paypal numbers are up. Congratulations again, Audi and Sekai Project!

I think there should still be a title change to state it's funded.

I don't even know where to begin with mine :| think it's gonna be a coin toss between fault milestone one and WORLD END ECONOMiCA.

Would be nice to get the backlog out of the way before this and Muv-Luv hit though.

Congrats to Sekai though! So glad to see this actually made it along with all the changes on the way ^ ^

 

[blacksark]

Congrats to everyone involved in sekai project(Audi,dovac etc), didn't think we'll make it many times but now that we've made it I can't wait to play this game

 

[grim-tales]

I cant wait to play it!
I just got an email saying "Your pledge has been charged", do I get another email confirming my shipping address and that everything has been sent etc?

 

[LiK]

so is March really the release date for PC? excited if true

Probably when Backerkit goes up you can edit your address, pledge, etc.

[grim-tales]

Thanks - I'll keep an eye on the site then.

There's some Tokyo Highschool thing they're going to do a Kickstarter for. It's a VN

I hope they hold out a bit for wallets to grow again, and to ship out more of the older KS items. I know some will be mailed out soon, and I think it's very important to get their reputation healed a bit, through that.

Things can start off shakey, but as long as things work out in the end.

Not very interested in that one and don't have money so probably won't back. Is it good?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Whoa, this is from the Ever17 guy? I threw some money at it not knowing that, just because people seemed excited.

Now I'm excited.

 

[GuardianE]

Congratulations on a successful Kickstarter! I ended up pledging more than I planned, but it's fine. Long live the Vita.

 

[Knurek]

Now I'm excited.

One of the two Ever17 guys.
But yeah, ought to be good.

Update 29 - The Next Steps

 

[Vanethyr]

Heads up: BackerKit invites are going out now.

Add-ons are as follows:

 

[LiK]

survey answered

 

[grim-tales]

Ditto I hope I filled in the address right, it kept saying "We found this address" and filled in the State/Province part

 

[Rektash]

Can't fill out my survey as I have pledged 140$ via paypal and only later realized I had to add the 10$ shipping myself. For some reason paypal checkout didn't add any shipping. Used the backerkit help form to ask if I could paypal them another 10$ to cover shipping but no answer so far.

Consider me slightly concerned.

 

[Durante]

Why do they need my address for a purely digital reward? Annoying.

 

[Vanethyr]

In case anyone hasn't seen this from Sekai:

Due to the compressed schedule we're working at we must lock down the "Your name in the credits" question by Saturday (2/27) at 11 AM, PST so we have enough time to add everyone to the video.

They will email you soon with a link for paypal payment, if you are in a hurry here the link they sent to me.

That worked nicely, so thanks for that link.

One question though:

Am I only gonna get the digital OST or what? Kinda confusing.

It's inside the collector's edition.

Sweet, that's what I wanted to hear!

Game Status Update #1

Hey backers,

Super quick/short update, the programming for Root Double is going smoothly, recently Regista has gotten achievements to work with Steamworks and are currently testing cloud saves and the overlay.

We’ll have some more updates in the future but in the meantime we wanted to let everyone know that we’re working hard to get the release ready!

 

[sanhora]

Steam page now live

À bit of a weird choice to have one of the bad endings as a random preview screenshot?

Thanks for the warning, I'm glad I didn't access the page.

 

[Saoshyant]

Probably surprising no one, the release got delayed:

Hello Backers,

We have worked hard to try to release the game in March, however we regret to inform you that due to various circumstances, Root Double's release date has been delayed from March to sometime in April. We ask for your understanding and thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, we would also like to announce that Root Double will have Steam Card support at launch.

The previous release date seemed exceedingly optimistic.

 

[Saoshyant]

Midway through April now -- in fact, it's April 18 here. I'd imagine they would have given a new date by now, even if at the end of the month, but so far, nothing. I imagine (and fear) the release will be delayed again.

I do wish they would say anything, but from what I've heard, silence and delays have been par for the course for other Seikai Kickstarters.

I've heard review copies have gone out, so I think that means good things for the release.

 

[Shizuka]

Not hopeful for an April release by now.

I'm not very hopeful for another backer update before the last 3 days of April.

[Saoshyant]

Hey, it still counts as April.
