Me too.

I'm sorry to hear that LucasArts has been closed :(
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on February 1
Hi Richard -
We will be sending out surveys within the next few months. Kickstarter only lets us send out one survey (can you believe that?), so we want to make sure we give you guys enough time to make a decision, and also to make sure that emails don't change in the interim.
Kindest Regards,
Garry
Creator Richard Isaak on February 1
When do I select what version of the game I receive? Debating between PC and PS3 versions.
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on October 26, 2012
Hi Robert - thank you for the email. We have a merchandise page on our website with several items and will be adding to those items in the near future. My thought is that you can visit there and make a purchase(s)? Once the Kickstarter ended, we cannot change pledge amounts but you can always purchase items from our online store or contact us directly with more thoughts.
Kindest regards,
Melissa Gaber

Is it possible to up my pledge somewhere? I know it's an odd question 5 months after the kickstarter but I'm slightly less poor than I was lol
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on October 1, 2012
@Jon - we are definitely looking into this, and if it is possible with this title, we will make it happen.
Creator Jon Folkers on October 1, 2012
It's great to see you on multiple platforms. If you can work out the details of Sony's "Cross Buy" promotions, in which someone buys the PS3 version and gets the Vita edition for free, you'd have some very happy people. The Farsight Pinball Arcade (also on Kickstarter for some licensing drives) does this, and it's wonderful. Also of interest would be Sony's "Cross Play" interaction between the big console and little handheld versions. I'm sure you're already considering this functionality so please know that some of us would really dig it!
Creator dgagnon99 on September 26, 2012
Getting closer to the update. Can't wait.
Creator Tom Page on September 18, 2012
Looking forward to the update guys! Keep up the great work :)
Creator Greg "Scorpio" Myers on September 13, 2012
Add me to the excited pile as well. I can't wait to see some more concept art and game models!
Creator Devon Rampe on September 12, 2012
@Garry - Awesome! Thanks for the info. I'm excited to see all the cool stuff you will have in the update. :) Really looking forward to this game.
Creator Ken Varley on September 11, 2012
I can't wait for this :)
Looking forward to this Gary :) Its about time this industry had more space shooters. The X series are a little too deep for me. I was more of an Elite fan :)
Keep up the good work :)
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on September 10, 2012
Hi Devon -
We are working on a major update for the end of September. We've been really hard at work building the game, but wanted to share the progress with the backers and fans. The next update will have concept art, models from the game and lots of information about the process.
Kindest Regards,
Garry
Creator Devon Rampe on September 10, 2012
Hi guys. Just checking in to see how the game is coming along. We would love to see a new update added! Thanks. :)
Creator Alakazam on July 23, 2012
Cool! Thanks for the answer, Garry.
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on July 14, 2012
Hi Alakazam -
Nope, you didn't miss anything. Kickstarter only lets you send out one survey, and so we are just waiting till we get closer to shipping to send that out. In it, we'll be asking for things like physical addresses for people who pledged for physical items, and it is better to wait till just before shipping in case people move. Also, there is a chance that we might be offering more platforms than just PC and Vita, and wanted to give people the chance to switch their preference if they wanted to, but that isn't a definite yet. :)
Kindest Regards,
Garry
Creator Alakazam on July 12, 2012
Hi team @EHE.
I was just wondering, I want the PS VITA version of "Starlight Inception", but I do not recall making a specific choice to claim the platform I desired the game on before the May 8th deadline. Will the option to choose the VITA or PC version come through email or something?
Kind regards.
Creator Todd Michael R. on July 11, 2012
Soooo...Any chance we can get this on OUYA? :-)

Heh, I realised EHE :) I just hate to see comments threads die.
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on June 2, 2012
Hi David -
A lot of the discussion about the game has moved to our backer only forums, as promised. If you are a backer, there are instructions on how to join in the last backer-only update. If not, you can still gain access by preordering the game at http:\www.eschatch.com - there is a merchandise page on the website.
Kindest Regards,
Garry

@ Adam (and everyone else that is getting multiple requests)
We are SO sorry. The stupid notification on Kickstarter told us that our message failed so we kept resending. Ugh.
Well we hope to see you over on the forum. And you only need to register once (haha) ;-)
Kindest regards,

Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on May 17, 2012
Sent them an email about it this morning - they did a really good job with the replacement of assets - let them know that the pitch video and hoodie are still in need of some attention.
Creator Stephen Clark on May 17, 2012
@Garry - I see. Well at least I can see what my rewards might look like. ;)
I had no idea the page would be locked down like that after funding, but I guess it makes sense.
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on May 16, 2012
@Stephen - we are at Kickstarter's mercy at this point with the art - we no longer have control of the Kickstarter page, except for updates. We've asked them to change out art at the AF's request to take the old logo and replace it with the new one. They are still working on the main pitch video apparently, and seem to have put the wrong image in the hoodie spot. We'll send them an email once they complete the video part to see if they can put the correct image in there.

Creator Stephen Clark on May 16, 2012
I don't know if it's a placeholder, but I'd just like to point out that the Hoodie image is the black t-shirt image.
Creator Jeff Pinard on May 16, 2012
Love the new logo! Glad to see it's still close to the original design.
Creator Nathan on May 15, 2012
Wow...46k in the last day. That's incredible!

I need some coffee.
Creator Stephen Clark on May 15, 2012
Yeah. It still amazes sometimes how quickly the funds jumped up that day.
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on May 15, 2012
@Ben - I agree - the combo of tweeting, fb'ing, raising pledges - it got the attention of G4TV, TotalBiscuit and Victor Lucas from Electric Playground as well as raising the necessary funding to make it happen. We have the greatest group of backers - dedicated to the game and willing to speak their piece to get it made. I am both honored and humbled to be working with you all. Thank you again.
Creator Ben Thomson on May 15, 2012
I'm looking at how many great games out there on Kickstarter at the moment are not going to reach their goal over the next few weeks, and it makes me realise just how lucky it was that Starlight Inception made it over the finish line. It was such a massive push in that final day, amazing work everyone.
Creator JS on May 13, 2012
I kinda liked the logo, it reminded me of the Elite logo, but it's certainly not worth being sued over.
Creator Adam Stamos on May 13, 2012
@Garry
Take a look again, like you guys in the beginning, their reward tiers were a bit rough but they've since changed them drastically. $20 now gets you the full game, $40 gets you the full game plus one expansion and $50 gets you the full game plus both expansions. I highly recommend you try out the alpha demo they posted (links under their first update) to give you an idea of the kind of game they are building. it's very early but it'll give you a strong idea of their goals.
Creator Stephen Clark on May 12, 2012
Why is my computer double posting today? o.O
It's even been happening with my email lately.
Whatever, time to Google the issue.
Creator Stephen Clark on May 12, 2012
@Garry - Yeah, everyone knows Probopass is much more popular: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/a/a6/476Probopass.png/200px-476Probopass.png
Yeah, the Digitilus's proposal sounds pretty cool, but the cutscene thing made me pause.
I'll probably end up donating 30 or so bucks just because the game still looks great (and space sims need to be supported more).
My PC isn't really in any state to be playing games so I'll be relying on EHE for space sim goodness on my Vita next year (or whenever it comes out).

Sorry @wahngrok - I meant at or above $100.
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on May 12, 2012
@stephen - Maybe I should scrap the plans for the Pikachu bomber...
Creator Escape Hatch Entertainment on May 12, 2012
We actually have looked at Skyjacker, and my opinion is that it would do significantly better if it changed it's pledge structure so that everyone got a full game at every pledge level, not just above $100. This is exactly why we folded launch DLC into our game - isn't what they're doing similar? In a way, it's even worse - at least our DLC was non-mission critical - there content appears to be the story cutscenes. I wish them success - just feel that they could do better with a better scheme.
Creator Wahngrok on May 12, 2012
In case you did not see it already the backers of Startlight Inception should really be looking at another project that I believe would tickle their fancy: Skyjacker
They already have a demo out and the visuals as well as the gameplay look really nice. I hope both Starlight Inception and Skyjacker will put back some life in the space sim genre.
