That's great! Can you share any of your ideas for utilizing Wii U and PS4's feature set in their respective versions? I'm trying to decide which of the two would be better for me; so great to see this project getting the support it deserves!
Did you know Microsoft makes publishers pay to put games up on Xbox live arcade and that they only go into the indie section? You have to have you game published by Microsoft or a 3rd party developer to get it into the arcade section. And then continue to pay to update content? Thus why this most likely won't show up on the Xbox 260 or one.
I have been trying not to read the stretch goals, save for the current one being worked towards, just because I don't want to be heartbroken if they aren't reached. To that end - AW YISSSS AIRSHIPS! Skies of Arcadia is one of my favorite RPGs, and it is SUCH a tremendous disappointment that there were never any sequels. I am SO excited for this stretch goal that I'm planning on throwing you guys more cash next paycheck.
This is such great news! I hope even more stretch goals are attained. But Mike, do me a big favor, will ya?
Please, please, PLEASE come up with some really unique controls that use the Wii U Gamepad's touch screen well. Right now, there aren't enough titles that are really trying to use the Wii U for anything other than off-screen play. I think the game should be able to run on a single screen for the PC release and off-screen usage with the Vita/Gamepad, but having a dual screen mode that REALLY feels like a genuine improvement over single-screen play would be a breath of fresh air.
What I want to be able to say as I'm playing this game on PC or off-screen is, "You know, this is a great game... but it's just not the same without the second touch screen."
This might entail making a different combat system for dual screen use only. I know that's a lot more work, but if the game doesn't really make use of the unique controls afforded by a Wii U or a PS4/Vita combo, there's barely a point in doing a console version in the first place other than nostalgia/paying tribute.
Yay! Congrats on hitting 80+k! I can't wait to play the game on the Wii U~!
I'm also very eager to enter both contests. I had a couple of questions for the writing contest, but hopefully I'll remember to send a message your way when I officially start work on the characters I have in mind. ^u^
Also, my boyfriend pointed out to me that the stretch goals up everyone's stats, but Garen's Saga shouldn't because none of them will be the main character. If and when the funds do hit Garen's Saga, will you change the stretch goal image to reflect that?
Awesome! XD Congratz cant wait to play my Vita and Wii U copies XD I was hoping to do a promotional video on my gaming channel for this project in an attempt to help it reach all its stretch goals would that be k? :D
Now I'll be able to play natively with my DS3 er...DS4! Here's hoping Cross-Save can be a thing, would love to be able to continue my save on my console & handheld!
I've just got a Vita and read an article that linked to this campaign today. Seemed like a no brainer! Look forward to seeing what this ends up like :)
Hey Chris!
I will definitely have NA and EU codes at the very least. I will also be pushing for other regions as well. This isn't something I can answer definitely at the moment, but I promise I'll be pushing to get it to all the regions possible! This isn't so hard when it's on the digital distribution stores.
Here's to hoping that by adding consoles we get more backers! I would love the airship battles and legendary weapons at a minimum. Lets continue to spread the word on the intraweb!
I know it might be a bit too early but I guess one question where many would be curious about an answer is:
When people pledge for a download-code of a WiiU/PS4/PSV-version, will they be able to redeem it at their local versions of the corresponding online-shop (eShop, PSN)?
There are quite a few regions for every shop so it would be nice if you could ask the reps over at Nintendo and Sony if it's possible for you to freely choose the region you want codes for:

At least for the PSN I can say that EVERY country listed can have a different line-up of games for purchase.
@Lance - I am hoping to unveil my thoughts on the gamepad sometime soon in an update, and also gather your opinion on it as well. I'd love to hear what you guys have to think once I make the update!
anyways, what a great week for the Wii U! So many confirmed games being made for the Wii U this week such as ArmiKrog, A hat In time, Soul Saga, etc! Woot!!!! Congrats!

If you are going to use the Wii U you can use the gamepad for menus. Anything else if a bonus!

Got to show up those third parties that lack creativity.
