I've no idea if it's patented or not but

quote:

the NE-1 will use the patented Cold Wall Vortex flow field developed by ORBITEC

is the cooling system used on early versions of the V2, and it's ridiculously wasteful of propellant as well as causing massive issues with nozzle design. also their magical self-pressurising fuel is really obviously lpg. it's not a bad design for a hobbyist rocket but the idea that's getting anywhere near space (or will be even vaguely reusable) is bullshit

this is literally "please pay for my hobbyist rocket", although at least it's not as ridiculous as the "yeah we can totally build a slingshot that can put things into orbit" guy

$75k is not enough to make a video game. when ouya doubles it to $150k, that's still not anywhere near enough. AND it has to be ouya exclusive for 6 months, which means that they won't make any money at all on it.

its actually infinite dollars because EA has an exclusive agreement with the NFL/NFLPA

i mean its expiring this year so im sure it wont be extended because the NFL will recognize the video game revolution being lead by ouya

IF I QUALIFY FOR THE MATCHING FUNDS, WHEN WILL I RECEIVE PAYMENT FROM OUYA?

Matching funds will be paid out as follows:
25% = When your Kickstarter campaign ends.
50% = When your game launches on OUYA.
25% = When the 6-month exclusive-to-OUYA period ends.

so they could just pocket the $78k plus another ~$20k from ouya and then just gently caress off... they don't even need to make a game at all. of course it's worth their while to poo poo out something that's barely playable and get the extra free cash

lol even the backers are onto this

quote:

Dear developers, it seems you are still around. Great! I'm still looking forward to your clarification regarding these big jumps in the pledged figures (now we re at 78,000$, strange...).

If you have nothing to hide, please explain us why mysterious backers donated 75.000$ for a kickstarter without applying for any reward. Could it be because OUYA will double that money?

Just know you are playing with fire here. If it's what you are doing here (and your silence so far seems to indicate you don't want to approach the subject matter with me), and if we share our suspicions with OUYA and they decide to not double your pledge, you'll be stuck with a 78.000$ funded kickstarter (only approx. 3.000$ of which is actually from real backers), and will have to pay 5% fees to kickstarter.

So 5% of 78.000$ is roughly 4k$. That means the backers money won't even cover your kickstarter fees (if OUYA doesn't double your pledge because somehow they find suspicious that backers pledge for 780$ on average).

So try to force the project to get funded by pumping more money at your own risk. Personally the more you ignore my questions, the more I'm going to share my suspicions with people here and at OUYA.

I'm still hoping it's all a misunderstanding and there a logical reason you pledged 75.000$ for your own project, so I'm looking forward your answer. Thank you in advance!

Lastly, regarding your question about licenses. First, our company started by supporting NFL players and other professional athletes with their social media activities. We have a lot of great relationships with NFL players and personalities and, as you might expect, a lot of license agreements in place with these personalities. We also have a license relationship with the NFLPA that goes back many years. Also, our CEO is an intellectual property lawyer who practiced in Silicon Valley for about 15 years. We have never had any intellectual property issues with anyone.

oh well that clears that up

that is what this is, right?

no, they totally already have a license from the nfl to show news, scores, and stats

all licensed assets in game will simply be remote windows into selectively cropped news stories and press images
