1-Up posted:Has anyone checked out the 100$ 3d-printer The Peachy Printer? Scam? Probably not. Complete poo poo? There's not enough information to call it either way. I've thrown a pledge at them already, but unless more information comes through before the end of the Kickstarter I'll probably withdraw the pledge.

Whoever was saying they'd back Neverending Nightmares when it hit $90k, it's just about there, with 20 hours to go. It could totally make it.

Backing now. I really thought this had no chance a few days ago. It seems like ending kickstarters on weekends really helps too with the final push. Would love to see final 3 days numbers for games that end on weekdays versus games that end on weekends. I wonder if it makes any difference.

Watching Neverending Nightmares is stressing me out! I really hope it makes it, I always appreciate media (whether it be movies, music, games, whatever) with a strong sense of authorship or personality. From everything that's come up about this game, it really does seem like he's putting himself into the game with his all.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1236620800/shantae-half-genie-hero I cancelled my $12 early bird pledge. Just a heads up if any goon wanted to get this. I need my gaming budget for Pokemon this month.

gently caress This Puzzle posted:There is something to be said about not selling your soul. Like I wouldn't want Total Biscuit to do a video on a game I made even though it'd turn a lot of people on to it. What's wrong with Total Biscuit? I remember he did a video on D:OS back when the Kickstarter was going on, which was cool of him. Didn't seem particularly annoying either, though he's still not someone I would subscribe to.

The Moon Monster posted:Looks cool, but I have a feeling people might be starting to get TCG fatigue. At least it looks like it doesn't have a pack-buying scheme, which puts it one over a lot of TCG games I see out there. Sadly, it's not going to be making the same kind of money, I'm guessing cynically, but I appreciate it as a CCG addict (not that I collect these days, but it's like how you never stop being an alcoholic...)

All of a sudden, Neverending Nightmares Kickstarter ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/infinitap/neverending-nightmares ) got a huge 8k boost. It seems that they all (most?) went for the same 1000 dollar painting reward tier. Pretty drat cool, but what's the likelihood of some wealthy backers bailing out in the last hour?

Can't he just change it back to $95? Or does it not allow you to do that once you pledge above a certain amount, in order to discourage pledge trolling?

Ableist Kinkshamer posted:Can't he just change it back to $95? Or does it not allow you to do that once you pledge above a certain amount, in order to discourage pledge-trolling? You can't withdraw a pledge that would take the project below the minimum funding within 24 hours of close. I've always wondered what happened to "bounced" pledges, the ones that get credit card declines and then the project falls under funding number.

The , and . can be pretty confusing for amounts of money in different countries. 10 thousand bucks and 32 cents: USA: $10,000.32 EU: €10.000,32 He managed the lower the most amount away, but he still pledged 3k more than he wanted.

Also for failed credit card transactions and the like, don't they still count towards the goal and can still make sure the project is "successful", but the project owner has to eat the cost and won't be able to use the money? I seem to remember the Double Fine kickstarter had something like $100k worth of failed transactions. And if this is the case, what's to stop someone from backing for a few thousand dollars and just cancelling the charges after the Kickstarter ends? Other than the desire to be a good human being, but this is the internet here. Anyway what excitement, following the comments on the Neverending Nightmare page  What the hell, I'm going to throw a few dollars at it after all.

I just wish there was a way to ask people the real reason they backed out so I don't have to make assumptions. As someone who's had to cancel a few times (though not on a huge scale), there's a box for sending an apology note or explanation attached to the confirmation dialogue. I've also had a project maintainer send me a message through Kickstarter asking why. Of course, there's no guarantee that you'll get a good answer either way. RightClickSaveAs posted:And if this is the case, what's to stop someone from backing for a few thousand dollars and just cancelling the charges after the Kickstarter ends? Other than the desire to be a good human being, but this is the internet here. Pretty much nothing. I know of one case where a project-saving pledge fell through (Jack Houston and the Necronauts) after the drive ended, but apparently they got to keep the rest of the money and found a way to make up the difference. Your credit card company or Amazon might have something to say if you dick around like that, though.
