I'm curious if they're going to re-form the kickstarter with the required funds being 400,000 and letting us reinvest, since they know we want to. Otherwise they aren't getting the money. I feel there's a major oops here.
I'm so pleased that this is getting made despite not reaching it's funding through Kickstarter. One thing though, how will this work in terms of getting pledge funds, if it's not gonna hit the "actual" Kickstarter target? As it will just class as unsuccessful and then funds won't be able to be taken?
Will this be then done through Backerkit, or something else in order for us to keep our pledges? And will this affect when payment will be taken?
Just to be clear -- I had pledged the $49 to get the full (prologue plus the "temporarily available" upgrade to get the main story as well). If I retain my pledge at that level AND it gets funded here, do I still get both? Thanks!
Great to hear it will get developed! Congratulations to everyone involved!
I just wish and hope you will consider a Wii U port as well. There were a lot more votes for Wii U than there were for Xbox One after all... :)
For Xbox One tooooooooooooooooo??????
Ok, if you port on WiiU I will enhance my pledge on physical copy, but if you don't port on WiiU I remove before it!
Kind Regards.
This is awesome news, I was worried this wasn't going to make it. Thank you FUZE for your contribution, now we have this great game to look forward to.
For those wondering, no, if the KS fails then no money will be collected from us. That's how Kickstarter works. I'd assume this means we would also lose our pre-order status unless Comcept puts up a site (or makes a new Kickstarter) where we can do that.
On one hand I'm very happy the game will be produced; And I won't take back my pledge as its basically a preorder of the game. Its a game I'm very happy to support. I'm also relieved to hear that the creative freedom will not be lost to you. (As others have said, will our pledges even go through if the project isn't completely backed??)
On the other hand, I feel that Kickstarter is for supporting individuals and small companies who need help creating a project which would otherwise not be possible (not for bonus material in a project already funded). We've created a new form of entrepreneurs whose investors are supposed to be the consumers- and our investments are supposed to go solely to the creators.
In this case, it seems we consumers have failed your game; It was unlikely the game would be created without the investment of FUZE; and I don't think your team intended for it to end up the way it did.
I'm so happy it will be finished. So congratulations! : ) All in all, I'm very happy for your team. I'm sorry that it had to come about in the way it did.
I'd be disappointed if I paid for a full game and only got the prologue, but I'll at least wait to hear the official word on what would happen with that if it came to pass.
@Nathaniel Reed
No, the poll was what led us to speed up console port talks with Sony (at the start). We weren't going to make that call until the final poll after the campaign closed, but after we saw the results.... we knew what was up. ;)
Please PLEASE hurry and tell us what's going to become of the Kickstarter and all our funding asap. I swear I'm really concerned right now that I'm considering just cancelling my pledge. Please hurry and tell us what's going on.
I AM SO HAPPY THAT THIS PROJECT IS A GO! XD
Congratulations!
I'm glad you all never gave up on this project! :)
But this only means only the prologue part i.e. KalKanon Incident is a go, right?
What about the 'main meat', i.e. the main story "The New Order Conspiracy”? Is that also confirmed a go? or does it still depend on "publisher support and fan reception of the prologue"?
First thing, make sure full creative control is kept by you programmers and developers.
Second, CONGRATS!!! i don't know if people are pulling their pledge since the game will be made anyways but I'll be glad for stretch goals.
(Like a Pink Call cameo.)
The only thing I can think would happen is they start up another Kickstarter for Red Ash at a much lower goal (probably $100K-$200K) & make it completely stretch goal based & include funding toward The New Order Conspiracy
I can already see all the whinings:
"Hey look, comcept/inafune is at it again, milking us for money when they already planned to get a major investor"
"Wow, this whole kick starter was a scam"
Well F*** them, I am just extremely happy that this game will be a real thing.
I am now wondering how the KS will go since KS explicitly stated that if backings dont reach the minimum amount, no money will be taken from us (thus, there wont be any funds to stretch goals). How are we going to go about this?
For those wondering why the Xbox got chosen over WiiU, I have a feeling it has something to do with this:
FUZE is based around Chinese game industry pioneer Wang Feng, and was co-founded with partners Huawei, NVIDIA, and Microsoft Xbox.
At any rate, yay! Now we just have to figure out what is going on with the kickstarter. Unless they pop on here and donate ~300k it's still not completed D:
This is great news! Though, I have to admit, also puzzling. While the game is sure to be a "go" now, the Kickstarter is now very much in doubt, and whether RED ASH happens or not, Kickstarter's rules are very explicit on this subject. It's the full amount, more, or it's nothing. So, where does that leave us backers? You say our money will go towards stretch goals, but if we never hit that $800,000 mark, then our pledges don't go anywhere but back in our pockets. Where does that leave us, then?
This is brilliant news! I don't know what to say, you guys really managed to get the game supported, even when all hope was seemingly lost. You guys really are the best! Although my only complaint is that the Wii U isn't under consideration, considering it was in higher demand than the Xbox One.
YAY!
Been having a bad day, since my teeth are hurting extremely badly, so bad that I wasn't able to sleep last night, and I wasn't really able to eat much.
But, this made my day. I honestly expected this kickstarter to fail, because we were only halfway to the goal with only 4 days left.
I am now a very happy man. :D
I'm utterly amazed, I truly am. Was hoping for a miracle, and we got one. Now then, to also echo a popular sentiment, how might we go about adding WiiU to that list? ^_^
The bit where they thank us for our hard work, that nearly had me tearing up. They know how hard we've all been working. Thank you Comcept. We'll do you proud.
Huh? What? Wait! I'm confused i thought Sony was your publisher? I mean they are paying for your PR! so how is the X1 port happening with your contractural obligations to Sony?

I agree with Jacob Stolte, you guys can't collect the $400,000 unless the goal is officially reached. Right?

The big question is, will consoles now get physical version too?

you cant collect unless it reaches the goal officially right? so whats the plan on that if we fail to reach it through Kickstarter?

Cancel your Kickstarter or at least relaunch it for what it has become. It's dishonest to continue this way.
