Support NeoGAF

[Shaneus]

Up to $6k now!

 

[SriK]

Almost at 80%! 34 hours to go!

What! Who beat us? This is unacceptable.

"Direct traffic (no referrer information)", lol. So I guess that, as far as known external pledges goes, GAF is still #1.

 

[Burt]

Backed! It should make it with the last day push.

Some of those could still be GAF anyway. because it can only really tell if you came from GAF if you followed a direct link.

This pretty much sums up how I pledged - heard about the campaign here, set a reminder, and then when the email came around clicked the link via that.

Just broke 80%! Looks like we're back on track again.

Interesting, so I guess even more of the pledges are probably from GAF than I thought! This is definitely something I'm going to have to talk when I write up the postmortem for our KS. I'm surprised every Kickstarter dev ever doesn't come here and post in the threads for their game, it's a great way to connect and talk to backers (as well as gain new ones) especially when your game isn't getting much press exposure.

Oh, good. Then all is right.

...Except that's it's not funded yet. This will be tight. :\

 

[epmode]

$1500 remaining, 24 hours left. Save this game, GAF.

 

[prophecy0]

I finally backed at the $10 level, but I didn't go there directly from GAF. If this thing is still super close in the final hours I'll probably up my pledge.

 

[WarRock]

Damn, just shared about this in a couple of forums, hope you make it dude.

 

[ElTopo]

I saw footage of this on the creator's YT channel. He took sprites directly from Shatterhand to make that mock level that you see on the KS page. Any dude who is a fan of Shatterhand is someone I can get behind but I have no money right now to donate. I hope it's successful.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

So close. So close.

 

[SriK]

Thanks, everyone!! We're up to 85% now, with about 20 hours left!

The Shatterhand sprites were our original placeholders, yeah (as you can see in this early video). All our spritework is original now, though, and all the level art has been original for a while. You can read more about the game's development history in this Kickstarter update we posted!

 

[ArjanN]

$969 to go, 14 hours left.

 

[Shaneus]

Even less now, it's just a little over $500 with 13 hours to go.

I think it's gonna make it

 

[@MUWANdo]

Whoa, you might just scrape over the line after all! Awesome.

I'd have cancelled the campaign and started preparing for another one by now, to tell the truth.

 

[Azure Dream]

...Oh, heck. I'm in.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I'll keep an eye on this. I love games like Shovel Knight that manages to bring out the beauty of old games rather than shitty "retraux" a lot of indies do.

 

[drotahorror]

Looks sick, hope it's funded, only a short while to go.

 

[Corpekata]

11 hours, a little less than 500 to go, c'mon!

 

[Orayn]

Currently at $7,710, come on people!

 

[Tain]

Bumped up my contribution a little. I really hope this makes it.

 

[breakfastchampion]

So close, baby! Can you taste it?

 

[Orayn]

We're in there.

 

[OnPoint]

I just kicked them some cash. I want this one.

 

[Aeana]

Yayy! I was really worried for a bit, there.

 

[FrontalMonk]

Yessss!

Oh man, I'm excited.

 

[Tain]

Whew.

 

[Durante]

I'm happy this made it. Not my kind of game, but you can certainly see that a lot of thought went into it and it seems to have a clear vision and the means to accomplish that vision. It would be a sad state of affairs if that couldn't even amount to 8k in a KS campaign.

 

[Drencrom]

Congrats on getting funded, SriK!

 

[Raitaro]

Great job everyone! Congrats SriK!

 

[ElTopo]

I hope it'll be good. The game Oniken matched the visuals of the NES era very well but it just didn't play as well as those classic games. Oniken was still good but something about it felt "off."

 

[eXistor]

Cool, congrats on making the goal! Your game looks awesome.

 

[metsallica]

How did I miss this? Backed.

 

[HellBlazer]

Whoa, I wake up and it's funded. Awesome. Congrats, SriK!

 

[SriK]

God damn... what an intense campaign.

Thanks for your support, everyone! I'm going to write up a detailed postmortem on this KS later, but here's a quick thank you post for now.

Looking forward to reading it.

Congrats, SriK

 

[sdconvoy]

Looks great! Backed! :-D Can't wait for more updates, as the technical explanations have been really good reads so far!

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Hooray! Good job, SriK!

 

[Azure Dream]

Congrats on making it!

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Congrats man!
I was afraid this morning that you wouldnt get it, im glad you have.

 

[Gameboy415]

Dang, glad this thread got bumped or I would've missed out!
Backed!

 

[Shaneus]

$8.5k so far, 3 hours to go! Very, very happy (and relieved) you made it

 

[Santerestil]

I want to be honest: at some point I thought to cancel my pledge - even because I have the impression it will inevitably be in some bundle three months after its exit - but the margins in the funding are so low I decided to mantain it, to give at SriK more security to complete the game.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

in4-1. gl SriK!

 

[Coffee Dog]

Thanks for bumping this! I would have missed it otherwise.

Volgarr the Viking has given me great hope for difficult action platformers from the indie scene. Hope this turns out just as great.

 

[georgetheplushie]

Congratulations, Sri.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hooray! I hope this bodes well.

Question though - what happens to the money on failed KS?

 

[HellBlazer]

Question though - what happens to the money on failed KS?

You need to reach your set goal to get any money, so no one is charged in the case of a failed campaign.

 

[Saroyan]

I just found this thread and apparently I missed the Kickstarter or I would have backed it. Happy it got funded as I really like the idea of making a game with the restrictions of a Famicom.
