Oh, it remains entertaining to me, because he still believes my lie about me being a gypsy and that I totally didn't say that and other things just to piss him off into slipping up and doing this 2 years back.

Space Resident will not just be the greatest space sim ever made. It will be the greatest game ever made in recorded history. Ever.


About this project

Have you ever looked around at your miserable existence and thought "I can do better"? I haven't, because for the most part my life has been pretty awesome. But I bet YOU can. You can only live in your sister's basement for so long before you start dreaming of a better life. A life that doesn't involve mowing your uncle's lawn as your sole source of income. A life that you're not sponging off family members due to your mental defects and severe Asperger's. You know what? Space Resident can be that life, for you.

Cast off the shackles of your pathetic current existence, and come live in the pathetic universe I've created for you! Creating an entire universe for people like yourself takes a LONG TIME, so the best part about this situation is that, while I'm taking ten years to create it, you can imagine that it's exactly what you want it to be!

Want to deliver a pixel ship's worth of sweet corn to the next galaxy over? You can! Want to kill aliens and other players? You can! Want to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to be able to kill other players more effectively? You can! Want to be a space stewardess and play a retarded drink mixing minigame in order to artificially satisfy NPCs via a moronic game mechanism? You can! If you can imagine it, and post about it more than 4 times on my forums, I'll probably at least tell you that I'm going to implement it in game! It's win/win! I win, because I get your pledge money! You win, because you get to imagine a universe in which you're not a basement dwelling neckbeard with the most pathetic life imaginable! You literally cannot lose!


Risks and challenges

The biggest risk is that you will not give me enough money to make all your dreams come true. That is also the only risk.


Rewards


Pledge $1 or more

This is where most Kickstarters would say something like "You'll get our sincere thanks, we love you so lovingly much!"

But I'm an honest man. If the BDSSE is only worth one dollar to you, then you're only worthy of contempt. I will only promise to think of you, collectively, as a boil on the rear end of videogaming society.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2016


Pledge $5 or more

You are still a boil on the rear end of videogaming society, but you HAVE earned a low quality jpeg of me giving you the finger.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2016


Pledge $10 or more

This is the same as the previous reward, but it will be a high quality jpeg of me giving you the finger.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2016


Pledge $20 or more

This is the same as the two previous rewards, but it will be me giving you the finger and you will be presented with 30+ megapixel files, both jpeg and raw, from a fancy Sony DSLR.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2016


Pledge $50 or more

You will get a copy of the BDSSE. BDSSE to be determined by me. Maybe it'll be amazing. Maybe it'll be a bootleg copy of Defender where your spaceship is replaced by a low quality jpeg of me giving you the finger. Who knows? That's part of the fun of doing a Kickstarter, you're never quite sure what you'll get.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2020


Pledge $200 or more

You will get a really sweet ship to use in the BDSSE. I mean, really choice. Top end. Well, at first it'll be really choice. Then I'll ramp everything up and a $200 ship will be a piece of poo poo because I'll start selling $2500 ships. But who's problem is that? Not mine! The people that bought the 200 dollar ships, it would seem. I'll still be living in my rented mansion and banging my skank wife. You'll still be living in your mom's basement and banging your fleshlight. Again, not my problem.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2020


Pledge $500 or more

For 500 bones, you'll get what I promised to the people that paid 200 bones. That seems like a raw deal, until you realize that the guys that paid 200 bucks aren't getting poo poo. I mean, they'll get something. And I'll say it's what they were supposed to get. What they were promised. But it'll be total poo poo. You're gonna get the real deal. They're getting whatever I can get an intern to make in half an hour. Your stuff, the 500 dollar stuff, I'll put an actual paid employee on, for at least half a day. That's my promise to you.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2020


Pledge $1,000 or more

You'll get a really big pixel ship. Massive. We'll use all the pixels. Every pixel we can find. We'll even buy pixels from other people that have extras. It'll be super huge, and a super sweet pixel space ship. Though keep in mind, this pixel ship requires twelve people to effectively crew it, and we drat sure know that if you're shelling out a grand for a pretend space ship it means you don't even know eleven other people. But it can sit in your hanger, and look pretty! And you can brag it on reddit! Fair?

Estimated delivery: Jan 2020


Pledge $2,500 or more

You will get ALL the pixel ships. Every single one we can poo poo out of our art department over the next ten years that this POS is in "development." And you'll get Long Term Insurance. We even told you dipshits that Long Term Insurance doesn't matter, but you mouthbreathing sister humpers were still willing to pay hundreds of dollars extra for it, so we're gonna sell it to you direct, rather than have some middleman cash in on it.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2020


Pledge $5,000 or more

With a pledge this size you have earned the right to sexually harass any employee of the company, or any other person that is active on the website! Congratulations! Describe your wiener, uninvited? No problem! Discuss your sexual prowess and how it has made your wife never want to touch you again? Totally fine! Send pics of your ding dong? Everything's good here, brother! 5 grand means anything goes, and we do mean anything!

Estimated delivery: Jan 2020


Pledge $8,000 or more

For this pledge level, we have something very special. For this amount of money, an actual Space Resident developer will fly directly to your specified location, kick you directly in the genitals, and proclaim loudly "Why'd you spend so much goddamn money on this stupid rear end game?"

Estimated delivery: Jan 2020


Pledge $10,000

This is the exact same as the last reward, but instead of some loser employee we hired off the street that got fired from making mobile games a month ago, your genitals will be kicked by me. Your lord and savior. Christos Croberts, himself. And not only that, I give you my personal guarantee that your genitals will be kicked only by the finest boots on the planet. Purchased entirely by your pledge dollars, they will be gold tipped, gem encrusted, and made of the finest monkey anus leather I am able to procure.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2020

They strongly hinted at selling virtual real estate again recently I think, there was also a picture during the 890 Jump sale I think. If you consider they are putting private clubs for the whales in and everyone already has a hangar, it's one of the few things they already have the tech to do.

I expect the only reason for not doing it so far is that's there's currently only one landing zone ready and the fact it will look exactly what it is, an attempt to raise lots more cash for something stupid.

Shankerz, did you get your Javelin money out or are you riding this thing into the ground? Seraph clearly got a refund, that's why he's so hyped at the minute.

When talking about selling real-estate, I like the fact that they will be selling the same penthouse to everyone. I seriously doubt they will model 10 blocks of skyscrapers to house everyone when they can just model 3 rooms, sell access to everyone and say that 'absolutely everyone will be located in a different building in the future'.

Or they can of-course say that the rooms are all in separate buildings but just forget to add windows (or just add 1 window which loops some random video)

Star citizen is like a lasagna except it's promised to be 20 layers and sentient and will give you blow jobs and provide companionship and provide everything missing in your life. Also the lasagna makers spent all your money on the first layer and just realized they used tainted ground beef and now this has to be painstakingly removed from the sauce piece by piece. Also other lasagna chefs are warning people that a 20 layer lasagna would collapse under its own weight and its simply impossible no matter how much money you throw at it.
