omg, this has to happen!!

Creator Shane Phillips on May 12, 2012

Yeah, Republique started out with some really lackluster funding, but pulled out a miracle through a lot of hard work and a lot of publicity. There's nothing to say that END can't still do the same thing, but they really do seem to have given up at this point, which is a shame for a lot of reasons.

Creator Adam Stamos on May 11, 2012

Looks like END Games Entertainment has given up on their own Kickstarter project... I guess there is no reason for me to stick around then either. Shame, this project seemed to have potential. Thankfully there a couple other Space Sim projects here on Kickstarter that look promising.

Creator YottabyteSeven on May 10, 2012

Looks to me as if Vendetta Online is prospering with sub par graphics but a great interface and concept. Alot of happy players on that game , I have never heard any of them mention Squad Wars in irc , post or channels. That says a lot.

It's sad but unless something really big happens, this ain't gonna happen... Come on people.... you can't tell me there is only 247 people in the world that play Space Combat games... Somebody post a link on the EvE forums :-P

Creator Andreas "Nessos" Märtens on May 9, 2012

one project ended before it got started, now it starts with END! (hopefully!)

Creator Tongp on May 9, 2012

No way this is getting funded, which sucks. Some suggestions if you try this again. As I said in the early days, the name is terrible! Theres nothing there to suggest it has anything to do with space combat nor does it grab the imagination. Its a name for a java game. Also the tiers are ridiculous - you shouldnt be able to play th game for less than 15 bucks, which should be your base. Plus im not sure planning on it being free with microtransactions was a great idea - who pays for a free game?

Creator Luke Waller on May 9, 2012

We need more people, that is the basic's here, at 239 we would all need to invest over a grand a piece. If we double the amount of people its 500 (average) so what do we need to make it reasonable on everybody? About 700 to 1000 people, its all about networking thats not as crazy as it sounds. TO be honest the Devs need to get some big investors, the advertising in the game is a great idea since it targets this audience and for a lifetime advertising spot 10000 is nothing, people pay that for adverts on yahoo. The name sux, i agree to all it should have been called "Jumpgate WAR" or "Jumpgate Lite, half the game now the other half later.......we hope"

Creator Adam Stamos on May 8, 2012

Yeah, the name really is awful, considering the quality of the game play footage alone they should have more than $14,752. at this point but, I believe, because of the name a lot of people aren't even bothering to look at the page much yet watch the videos.
.
The devs also need to get on the ball as far as updates go, I find that the more the developers are involved in their kickstarter projects, replying to posts, uploading videos, posting development progress etc... the more comfortable people are with pledging and the better the word travels about the game.

Creator Max Taha on May 5, 2012

Folks, we need to email and share this project with all major bloggers and gaming video commentators like TotalBiscuit and the like. Spread the word!

Creator YottabyteSeven on May 4, 2012

I am agreeing with some of the game name comments. Squad Wars sends a very big signal that it requires Teams/Squads to play the aspect of Player versus Element and solo questing gets lost in the Title.

Creator Benjamin Stanley on May 3, 2012

I am also trying to get the word out about Squad Wars. I am going to be networking the crap out of the internet tonight :)

Creator Benjamin Stanley on May 3, 2012

Just Upped my pledge to 50.00 USD - Here is hoping to making a bad ass space game!

Creator Shane Phillips on May 3, 2012

I have to wonder if the name of this project is throwing some people. I mean, I hear "squad wars", and I think squad-based combat.

Creator Wild Bill on May 1, 2012

I'm familiar with some of the people involved in making the game as they were there for JumpGate. I never played any other on-line game and I'm already suffering from its passing.

I honestly do not know if the game (as described) will be something I could love like I did JumpGate. I do know that I would never forgive myself if it failed because I didn't give the most I could.

I pledged my two-bits last night. As others have said, I wish I could have afforded more, but the wife keeps forgetting to buy the Lotto tickets.

Creator simonCGN on May 1, 2012

Just committed $50. That is was I was looking for since the development of JGE was discontinued. I so much hope this gets funded all the way.

btw: I hope you work on the logo and name. Neither conveys anything I would associate with a space combat mmo.

Creator Jared Szymurski on May 1, 2012

If this happens, and we get what Jumpgate could have become, it is worth every penny.

Creator ekoostik on May 1, 2012

Let's get this thing started!

Creator Kurt on April 27, 2012

I was an Beta tester for the original JG, and was so looking forward to JGE. I sure hope you guys get the required donations. Im a little disappointed you only have 13k so far :(. Well here is $100 to get you a wee bit closer.

Creator Luke Waller on April 26, 2012

I Played Freelancer for years and it is my most favorite game of all time. I paid for Jumpgate Evolution for me and two of my friends and it was the hight of dissapointment to find out it was vaporware. I don't care if this starts as a battle only game its better than nothing! The open sandbox style MMO space sim is missing in the market right now and iv tried them all, good luck to you. There are many of us out there don't give up hope!!

Creator Corey Kilker on April 25, 2012

Not sure if you have ever played Ace online but this game looks to be very similar in combat from the demo video (not really a bad thing).

Creator Oliver Tseliki on April 25, 2012

scorch and co, best of luck and i hope you hit yr 250k target. here's $100 towards that end. fond memories of JG and my old squadies in Special Unit.

Creator Teddy Christiansen on April 25, 2012

100$ of mine just flew through time and space and landed right into your bank account. Im so looking forward to this game.

(and i love Alpha tests) ;)

Creator RaQin / Whaitera (Kate) on April 24, 2012

Give this one a Franklin! These guys deserve it. Great concept, and I wish the END Games team all the best.

Creator Genio on April 24, 2012

we need this game

Creator Benjamin Stanley on April 23, 2012

Just Pledged 25.00 to the cause of this game.

Are you guys planning on adding larger player ships? One thing I like about big space games such as EVE is that you can pilot huge ships (Titans being an example of this) as well as small fighters.

Creator Eden on April 23, 2012

I'll back you anytime.

Creator Adam Stamos on April 23, 2012

You sons of bitches! You just got my Diablo 3 CE money... all $100 of it.

The events and eventual cancellation of JGE was one of my biggest gaming disappointments this generation so I'm ecstatic to see you guys didn't throw in the towel.

I do have one question that I was unable to find a specific answer for on your kickstarter page.

Will this game contain any objective oriented missions that can be played solo or with a small wing of friends for a more co-op like experience within the persistent world?

While I enjoy massive PvP style combat quite a bit I tend to enjoy smaller scale co-op style missions (or even the occasional solo mission) a bit more. Sometimes I just want to sit down and blow the crap out of AI enemies by myself or with a couple friends while trying to accomplish a goal rather than increase my kill count among a bunch other players.

Either way I'm looking forward to it I just hope it's not all PvP.

Creator Regan on April 23, 2012

Awwe, biteme! You know I love you mostest! <3

Creator Cogswell Cogs on April 23, 2012

Oh yeah...I'm in.

Creator zeeZ on April 23, 2012

Most of us are still hanging out in the old #JGE-Dev on Stratics. #squadwars exists too, but why move when there's already a comfy place we've had going for years ;)

Creator biteme on April 22, 2012

Oh I see how it is Regs, C-note gets a <3?, that hurts right in the feelings

Creator Regan on April 22, 2012

C-note! <3

Creator KepponLaffin on April 21, 2012

This is C-note from JG reporting in and backing with a good chunk of money. I really hope this happens and I know that Scott and crew can do it....so let's get them some cash people!! =)

Creator Michael Ford on April 21, 2012

One thing I've noticed is what seems to be the intentional lack of the term 'MMO' or any suggestion that there will be aspects of the game that touch on MMO elements, that I think may put off some interest from some of the potential JG/E and similar background backers.

From the sounds of it, whilst it may or may not have a massive persistent universe, that didn't stop the use of the term to apply to Guildwars with its small instanced town population areas and exclusive private instanced solo friendly content.

Perhaps don't use the term 'MMO', but at least be a bit clearer and precise on where the some of the intentions of the project may cross over. :)

Creator camshow on April 21, 2012

Pledged $25. I really hope you guys meet your goal.

Creator biteme on April 20, 2012

Hurry up

Creator Comatosed on April 20, 2012

Wish I had the whole $250,000 I would pledge the lot in a heartbeat...........

Creator Tongp on April 20, 2012

Terrible name, sorry but thats an FPS! Plus that $10 bracket should have been $15! Wishing you luck, will spread the word on forums.

Creator TycMozo on April 20, 2012

One of the very best online games ever, i'm happy to pledge but.... i'm a trader not a fighter ! Any room for the trading aspect in all of this ? Well no matter, you guys have my pledge anyway, good luck.

Creator Gavin Longhurst on April 20, 2012

Dear Gamification Gods - $10k for Deity? How about these are rescaled back to HUMAN sized?.

I can contemplate - but cannot reach. Yet wish to do more.

FOR THE GALAXY.

Creator Regan on April 20, 2012

Oh, and good call by luring me with the "shineys." ;)

Creator Regan on April 20, 2012

Since we only have 10 days left of JG, do you think you kids could work 24/7 to expedite this process. ;)

I only wish I had more to donate. =(

Creator John H on April 20, 2012

How you can you not want to throw some money at these guys after seeing the care and precision they took in making that team photo.
