If Homestuck: The Game's soundtrack isn't done by the music team, I'll be pretty sad. The music is what makes Homestuck what it is. In fact, as someone who was pulled into Homestuck because the music was so engaging, I'd say the music is one of the most important elements of Homestuck. If the game just has a soundtrack by some third party, it wouldn't be Homestuck to me  Although if it ends up just being a single member of the team like Radiation or Plazmataz or Solatrus doing the soundtrack with minimal involvement of the rest of the music team, I'd be okay with it.

Admiral Goodenough posted:That's awesome! How did that work, were you allowed to draw whatever you wanted or were there guidelines? The only real guidelines were the stuff had to be Dave and Bro-themed, I was given a list of examples for possible stickers, but other than that I just drew what I wanted and sent it off for approval before doing the finished inks. And yes, it is a baby Dave in the corner, I'm really happy with how he came out but too bad he's covered in the image. :\ He ended up looking like a little vienna sausage in shades, it's adorable.

Honestly now that there is a $10000 backer, I really hope it winds up being the only one just so all the rest of the characters can be like "Who's this douchebag?" before the fantroll gets vaporized by LE or whatever.

Hold on, if PBS guy is correct and Homestuck is eventually recognized as a groundbreaking online postmodern meganovel, it might just be worth it. Imagine helpless, baffled grad students pouring over annotations and then writing thesis papers about your terrible character... for as long as people continue to study the classics, i.e. until the end of civilization. That's almost enough to maybe possibly tempt someone to consider dropping $10,000 in order to introduce Indier Ocktops into the canon of Western literature.  But I'm sad to say I suspect the 10,000 packages will only start moving once every other option is exhausted. I guarentee there will be a few latecomers who take the plunge because they just really, really want a scalemate.

I've only contributed to one Kickstart thing, and only $15 at that. What's to stop someone from making an account, saying they're going for the highest tier, and then bailing on the account? I think I needed a credit card to sign up with, but couldn't you just put in one of those gift card credit cards in there that has a set balance and you buy for cash?

I'm not quite sure if this is what you're asking, but yes someone could claim a $10,000 tier without being able to pay it. What would happen is that at the end of the month when Amazon collects the money, they would run into the problem and the person would have a set period of time (a few weeks I think) to fix it. If they don't, they get dropped and Andrew's final amount is $10,000 lower.

I figured it wouldn't be that hard to make an account and use it to make some ridiculous bid that you never intended on following through with. I'll wait to see if someone actually goes through paying a 10k pledge or more.

Tengames posted:I love how I dont even need to check this thread or mspaintadventures to see if its updated, I only need to wait until I start seeing new homsetuck avatars on the forums. Somebody in GBS bought me a new title (that is actually kind of accurate) but I am totally buying my Dave talksprite avatar back in a few days. I'm not actually all that excited about a game, though, because I don't generally enjoy video games. I'd rather read another comic.

The crazy thing is not the number of backers in such a short time (which should be unsurprising) but the fact that the average pledge is about $90.

It seems to pick up in the afternoons/evenings, because it slowed down a lot today. I'm going to guess $1.75 Million by the end unless it has another big surge.

Eager to see the stretch goals for this. It's potentially the first actual info we might get on what to expect, at all, from the game. Beyond 'it is more homestuck'.

"More production value" is always a good thing, but honestly that million dollar mark is a big hill to climb, idc if it is fueled by crazy people and the credit cards they recklessly wield. Hussie should just forget about the cross platform and stick to the PC  Who am I kidding, with the way things are going it's going to be cross platform, rendered 3D with the highest of res's, fully voice acted and probably include a multiplayer skateboard component where you compete to see who can thrash and grind for the most mad snacks.

Can the guy who was doing the math for how much money this thing was raking in per hour or second keep at it? It would be interesting to see how the average donation and $$$$ per second fluctuate.
