Xenonauts is now on Kickstarter

Karz Master Alpha Junkers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 2,375 Joined: Nov 13, 2006 Those guys are based in the UK. Anyone know how they managed to get a KS account? If we find out how, maybe we can use Kickstarter instead of Indiegogo. There's still quite a bit of distrust against Indiegogo on the communities I frequent. ......................... vet wv zom Posted May 9, 2012, 7:18 am

Sam could probably do the same if someone was willing to do the paperwork on the US part of it. ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted May 9, 2012, 7:37 am

Especially since there is a meaty demo for potential pledgers to look at. I suspect it will start doing better as time goes on. Certainly break that 50k mark easy. I actually pledged $200 for my love of X-Com and because the 200 tier was REALLY awesome!!! Get your on picture and name in the game, submitting my military service picture in uniform! FYI Sam only thing I love MORE than X-COM is Car Wars, I would easily be pledging the same for Dark Wind. In fact Steve Jackson is in flight to do a Car Wars Kickstart for the *cough* boardgame. So i think this is a ideal time to get in the mix with Darkwind. I was actually the person to suggest to Chris to go with Kickstarter and offered suggestions along a similar line on how it might be done, even offered to help if he wanted. Looks like he found someone though to do the paperwork. Sam, I offer that to you as well if you dont already have someone in mind. ......................... vet Posted May 10, 2012, 12:09 am Last edited May 10, 2012, 12:20 am by Ender Card

It's his first time trying an X-COM type of game, but he enjoyed it a lot. ......................... vet wv zom Posted May 10, 2012, 7:26 pm

Ender Card Enders Rangers Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 41 Joined: Jan 10, 2008 A lesson to carry forward, is that xenonauts was unprepared for the speed of which they funded. They didnt have any ideas of effective stretch goals. The ones they came up with caused some blowback and the funding is slowing to a trickle as a result. This is something you may want to do cursury preplaning for Sam and avoid the same kind of blowback. The discussions on quartertothree and xenonauts detail the blowback and what could have been done to avoid it. Although they did reach the 1st stretch goal of 75K so not horrible ......................... vet Posted May 16, 2012, 6:37 pm Last edited May 16, 2012, 7:25 pm by Ender Card

Karz Master Alpha Junkers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 2,375 Joined: Nov 13, 2006 Yeah the stretch goals didn't really work in favour of their funding. Plus I would have really liked to see crouch-crawling, instead of tilesets. I'd already expected Xenonauts to not have motion detector and prox grenades, but really, no indoor bases was a complete surprise. ......................... vet wv zom Posted May 18, 2012, 5:14 pm Last edited May 18, 2012, 5:15 pm by Karz Master

Ender Card Enders Rangers Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 41 Joined: Jan 10, 2008 Boy, did they detail that WRONG on the kickstart page. To clarify... the base attack of aliens bases and being attacked are IN. What the stretch goal for indoor missions is talking about is clearing a building or mall of aliens (which i think is REALLY cool), sort of like some of the Xcom Apoc missions. ......................... vet Posted May 18, 2012, 5:34 pm

Ender Card Enders Rangers Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 41 Joined: Jan 10, 2008 You can apply that pre order to upgrade to one of the more meaning tiers if you want. Such as the art book or whatever. I plopped down 200 to get my face rendered and name in the game...going to use my service picture ......................... vet Posted May 18, 2012, 8:29 pm

I don't mind having mine in there too, if I were just that little bit richer ......................... vet wv zom Posted May 18, 2012, 9:26 pm

Wodin Ulrich Upsurpers Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 12 Joined: Aug 6, 2007 Great year for turn based games, at last! Lets hope this a return to the turn based tactical genre and we see alot of new games and hopefully new IP's. I for one am looking forward to this, Wasteland 2, Shadowrun Returns and Firafax XCom game. Now if Sam gets DW 2 up and running, well it's turn based heaven, something I doubt any of us would have believed a year or so ago. Posted May 24, 2012, 1:57 am

Not until ex-Sir-Tech employees come together to make a successor to Jagged Alliance 2! Damn, but if that game isn't the perfect TB tactics game, then I don't know what is. ......................... vet wv zom Posted May 26, 2012, 2:17 pm
