All of the SuiKlone stretch goals are $25K USD apart now making the illusion even sillier. But maybe they'll just throw in the entire design bible and get crackin'

So, it sounds like the guy who wanted to add that was abused themselves? Not that it gives him a free pass to do whatever he wants, but its not like they were actually committing the act themselves. I think you can give an abuse victim a little bit of leniency for suggesting to include something horrible that they experienced even if it was done terribly. Its not like it ended up in the final product. Its also pretty lovely to out the experience of an abuse victim when it was something they told you in private.

A failed kickstarter from back in 2017 manaed to come out anyway. I was really looking forward to it then, so I'm hoping it's good/does well. https://twitter.com/GoNintendoTweet/status/1295755160237608960?s=19

It helps that it's a Kickstarter that is incredibly up front about everything it is doing, including asking people to please stop donating past their means. Doesn't mean it will succeed but they at least know how to build confidence.

They just announced a special bonus for anyone getting a physical copy of Not Suikodenquote:Some fans of Murayama-san and Kawano-san’s previous work might remember some particularly...unusual Western box art that saw the light of day in the West. We’re happy to announce that after finally unlocking the last tier of the Painter’s Gallery in the social game, Kawano-san will be creating alternate “Bad Western Cover Art" that will ship with every physical copy of the game...whether you like it or not! But as they say: "Beauty is in the eye of the backer".

while not a game itself, this kickstarter is pretty neat(if expensive) gaming-related merch, I really like the diablos and rathalos skulls. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arvalis/monster-skulls-premium-enamel-pins

Eiyuden's success is in part thanks to an atypically high amount of Japanese backers - even super-Japanese pitches tend to be majority funded by international pledges.

They’re using the goodwill of a series they didn’t earn.

The first Harvest Moon came out after the split and while the publisher of the western release was the other Natsume this one had nothing to do with the JP version.

Speaking of questionable kickstarter decisions, the algorithm decided to recommend me this. Yes, that is a dating game where you date genderswapped anime versions of famous serial killers. And it's funded. I don't even know why I'm surprised at this point.

Oh, the entire campaign was a bit fraudulent. They very obviously had a publisher deal in advance of the Kickstarter but were pretending that key elements of the formula people loved like army battles and duels were important stretch goals they could finally afford to implement for an extra $100k USD over the previous goal. I'm sure the massive success of the Kickstarter has gotten them some more funding or more favorable terms from whichever publisher is bankrolling the actual cost of what they want to do, but there was quite a bit of theater involved.

I'm quite surprised they found a publisher. The impression I've got is that niche heavily-funded kickstarters don't sell particularly well at release as most of the audience they're targetting brought in during the campaign.

The impression I've got is that niche heavily-funded kickstarters don't sell particularly well at release as most of the audience they're targetting brought in during the campaign. Seems like the campaign was really to prove that the demand wasn't niche, and that they think it could sell as well as something like Octopath Traveler. And they're very obviously leaning into Octopath's visual aesthetic, which likely helped entice whichever publishers they were negotiating with. Perhaps if they'd barely limped over their initial funding goal then that might have had the publisher(s) pulling out of the deal, but they quadrupled it. If we look at this campaign, they have over 40k backers, but Octopath Traveler sold over 1.5 million copies. The backers are going to be a drop in the bucket if you think you can sell even a few hundred thousand copies, and they're probably hoping to emulate the sales success of something like Octopath or Bloodstained, which was also crowdfunded and has sold over a million copies (not a coincidence this campaign was trotting out Igarashi).

I can't remember if it was there at launch but they have a big section on their KS campaign where they outright say they have a publisher and the KS campaign is to demonstrate interest as a condition to getting publisher funding, so they're not exactly hiding it:

Years on and I still think it's funny how we every major campaign needs to remind the world that they lose a ton of money to Kickstarter's tithe, physical rewards and shipping. Anyway, I was under the impression they were still in negotiations between a few publishers for which one would give them the most money for development. Must've misread something or fallen for the collective guessing game the first week it started.

I've been kind of following Ikenfell, a magic academy JRPG, despite not having backed it, and it finally got a release date: Oct 8, for PC (Steam/Humble/W10), Switch, PS4, and XB1. It was originally funded back in summer 2016 with a summer 2018 release date. It also has a new trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXa1URp3tmU
