ashigaru,

Here’s a brief interview between Chris Taylor and Chris Roberts, filmed just before the Wildman Kickstarter campaign started – Chris Roberts interviews Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games

If his passion for the game is anything to go by this game will be awesome

In the same boat as you mate, was a bit meh at first, but the updates and ideas have won me over big time :)

spooler: for a company thats hopes of staying afloat ride on this kickstarter it’s one of the most lack lustre presentations I have seen

I have to sort of agree with this. Though I do get the feeling that when they first released that kickstarter video, Chris Taylor was at wits end.

I’ve been following along with the updates and am pretty impressed with some of their ideas and the way that they’re approaching things. I’m also continually surprised that CT has any positivity left in him!

For the record I’m backing. I’ve grown an interest in the game from all the updates, I want to do something to support these guys and I really want to see more videos of CT doing his thing!

Jeez, this’ll be about the 6th backed project just this month…

An astronomical goal with a title that doesn’t have much interest to begin with and banking the future of your entire company on it.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again; publishers have risk management and project analysts for a reason. If KS has taught me anything it’s that most developers don’t have the slightest idea about running a business in the real world.

Obsidian asked for $1.1m and got almost $4m for Project Eternity. Inflated salaries? Maybe, I wouldn’t know because I’ve never had to make a game so I’m not going to assume. The goal is within reason though comparatively. It’s a shame because it looks like it will not make it.

I’ve never seen Kickstarter as a bailout for established developers. How much of this 1.1 is going to inflated salaries?

I still wanna pop some money on it, because at the end of the day it’s only $20 from my wallet, and that’s only a couple of beers at the pub.

EDIT: Just pledged. Because stuff it, that’s why :)

I do have to wonder though, if people get nervous investing in a kickstarter when they company itself has said they’re likely to go down. I’ve bought into two games on kickstarter, but I’m kind of hesitant to put much more in until I see a return from the first two. Not that I expect it to happen, but it’s always in the back of my mind that it might not come to anything if the budget falls short or other problems arise.
