I put a few "I BACKED" avatars in the most recent update, if any of you guys wanna use one as your KS profile picture. AntiPseudonym posted:In for $15! Godspeed, Dropsy. Sharp_angus posted:Kicked in $25bux. Godspeed, Dropsy! Thanks guys!  Ballz posted:You now have 548 backers, the exact number you garnered over 30 days last time. Here's hoping you can maintain some momentum over the coming weeks! Yep! I'm working on some new game content to preview over the coming weeks that will hopefully generate more of a buzz. And a fun little gimmicky Halloween CYOA game thing. Eonwe posted:I certainly hope you get the coloring book/music stuff as an addon. My wife and I will definitely pick up a couple copies, that sounds awesome. My friend Joe is already working on some art for it. Here's an early illustration we may use for the cover:  Gaspy Conana fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Oct 28, 2013 |

Threw my $50 from the last campaign back into the spacious pants of Dropsy. Congrats Jay for getting more attention from the press this time. Oh, and thanks again for all that music you gave us a while back. You have a really original style and I dig how weird a lot of it is.

The latest Neverending Nightmares update gave Dropsy a big shoutout!

We're almost 90% there! I'm setting up a little 'Final Hours' party at a local venue where I'll perform some music from the game and livestream it and stuff. Should be fun. It'll be at Evolution Records in Lakeland, Florida on November 24 if anyone is interested in showing up.  CottonWolf posted:The latest Neverending Nightmares update gave Dropsy a big shoutout!

It's way harder to find people who dig the tunes than people who dig my pixel art.

Be sure to post more details when it gets closer. Ughhh... so close to $14,000.

I'm probably going to flub a bunch of songs since I'm only going to have ~2 weeks to practice stuff, but it should be fun nonetheless. Yeah, it's slowing down a bit. I haven't been as active in posting it everywhere because I'm trying to finish up a pixel art commission AND a Halloween minigame thing. Not that it matters too much since it's pretty much a done deal.

If you want to reach your stretch goals, it might help to make a couple of things clear your campaign page: how much you've gotten via Paypal, since that'd go towards them, and the fact that reaching stretch goals will result in the game being finished sooner (rather than later, which is often the case with other campaigns).

I didn't move any further because it strobes like it wishes death upon Japanese children. I also got stuck at the first message (that tells you to press c) somehow. Couldn't replicate it, though.

bowmore posted:Second bug: tried to hug a lost soul and got stuck in the screen explaining how to jump. Aw. I'll fix a few bugs tonight/tomorrow, but after that I'm gonna leave it until the next big update. It originally just going to be a little animated thingy, but after messing around in Multimedia Fusion I decided to turn it into a game like a big dummy. That's what I get for trying to finish it in such a rush. I just hope people viewing it understand that it was just a little dorky thing I put together quickly. I'm not even a programmer.

I keep getting stuck in message boxes, like the Doom House poster and the "painful memories inside". Pressing X doesn't close the box, and for some reason I can press C to cower and it works in the text box. The music is nice and I wanted to keep playing. Sad clown tears.

Yeah, it'd pay to make it clear that you won't be doing programming for the main game. If you can't fix all the bugs today/tonight/ever, it might be best to take it down at least until you do. And still make it clear that you won't be doing programming for the main game. Also, will you still be adding a Paypal option? BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Oct 31, 2013 |

Yeah, it might be wise to clarify the differences between the halloween game and the real thing. Programming, point-and-click interface, death?, etc. Congrats on getting funded

Since the first Dropsy thread way back, I found myself thinking, "Man, if he can do all this, why doesn't he make a full-on videogame out of it?" So you have my money now. Please turn it into one of the best parts of the game!

Gaspy Conana posted:Thanks. All right, now I can take personal credit for whichever part of the game I enjoy the most! I might be the only one who wants to see this, but I'm interested in your work setup. You're pretty much a one-man crew here, so you could show the entirety of where Dropsy will be made in a few pictures or minutes of video. It might be better to show stuff more related to game content this early on, though.

I'd like to email you about making a bigger-than-$10 payment. Also, it might be a good idea to offer the $25 option as a standard Paypal option as well as the $10 one (what with all the extra digital stuff).
