Just kicked you  . Hopefully something miraculous happens and the campaign succeeds. If not, you can count on another pledge from me during the next KS. Looks like it could be an awesome game.

Thanks.  the Gaffe posted:You should also buy a bunch of ads on SA. Heck when I ran the guild for the vanilla WoW server, we put an ad up for that and we got a bunch of responses and new members. I did buy one, but I lost my job right after launching the Kickstarter so I ran outta money. Hopefully when I launch the next one I'll have more of a budget for that.

Some guy made a post about it on Reddit, you guys should totally click the Up arrow on it.  http://www.reddit.com/r/IndieGaming/comments/1iz2vp/dropsy_a_surreal_adventure_game_with_a_bizarre/

Only 19 hours to go! Probably won't reach the goal save for a miracle, but I'll be posting lots of juicy backer updates so back anyway. Lizard Wizard posted:As much as I'd love to help get the word out about clowngame, I think you're really overestimating the number of goons that also have Reddit accounts. Yeah, I didn't expect there to be many. That thread (or whatever they call those reddit things) seems to be going pretty well though.

Your talent deserves more support. It's a shame other goon-related projects get funded while this does not. Is there a thread about it in GBS? There ought to be. Isn't that where the original Dropsy CYA thread started?

I'm working on getting something playable finished before the next Kickstarter attempt. It'll most likely be a chunk of the Dreamworld. I'm shooting for having it finished in ~3 weeks.

So is Dropsy human or what is he, exactly? Or are you not giving that away yet? Also, are we gonna get multiple endings or just one? Is there even an ending? I'm excited to see how it ends up!

 Early audio test. Here's a video showing the music sort of 'morphing' based on the mood of the area. It's the first part of Dropsy's dreamworld: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imws7w2mGa4 Anoulie posted:That looks so rad. Be sure to link us to the next Kickstarter when you launch. Haha, trust me, I'll be posting it as much as I'm allowed. No comment regarding Dropsy's humanness. There's only going to be one ending. I'd rather tell one good solid story. Adding multiple endings would make a sequel more difficult to plan (which is the true ending?) and would increase my workload like crazy. I'm allowing for some player choice in Dropsy's dreamworld though. It branches in multiple directions, so you can't possibly see all of it in one playthrough.

I put in 25 bux. Might increase it closer to the ending when I know how much money I'll have at the time. We need to get a bunch of banners up on the site!! Last time I was incredibly surprised how late in the KS I actually found out it existed. Goons love the CYOA threads.

The last time I saw this Kickstarter I didn't have a job and I was sad because it looked like it was running alongside several high-profile kickstarters, so I figured it wouldn't succeed This time it's running alongside the guys who made MYST making a new point-and-click, but the difference is I have a job and I am happy to give my money to this clown. Also thanks for putting a link to the original CYOA in the Kickstarter!

I need to get the other ones in webpage form. I think they'd make for good updates. I'm talking to a guy about possibly making a little 16 page coloring book as an add-on. He already did a little preview illustration and it looks beautiful. I'm only gonna go through with it until I can make sure the campaign will meet it's minimum.

I always wonder what the story is when a kickstarter like this starts up and someone quickly donates something like $700. Is it someone the creator knows? Someone who's just giving people hope only to take it away later? People who actually have a lot of money and peruse through the cesspool that is the recently launched Kickstarters page? I guess there were a couple people who dropped big bux on the last project, so probably just the same people I assume.

I don't personally know the guy, but you can bet I'm gonna thank the crap out of him once I find some way to contact him. He isn't accepting messages on KS.

Here's an ad banner, if anyone wants to help out and link it to either the thread or the KS. I bought one that will go up tomorrow, but that was pretty much the end of my marketing budget. I'm thinking of making a few with different moods too. Spooky, mysterious, etc. In other news, I'm working on a bunch of new game content to show as the KS progresses. Megazver posted:You should be awesome pixel-art buddies with Confederate Express and promote one another. Sent them a message, but they can't cross-promote due to some kind of contract they signed.  They did back though! Matt from Neverending Nightmares is going to push Dropsy in his next update!DancingPenguin posted:Yay! I was so thrilled when I found out we were a pick.
