That's probably the worst misuse of Occam's that I've ever heard. Which is more likely; that a team of relative unknowns have discovered advanced laser technology which they are using only to make razors, that razor companies like Phillips have known that laser-razors were possible for years but didn't make them because they just didn't want to, OR that these people are running a scam. Hmmmmm.

A rule of thumb is that if a technological advancement is as amazing or groundbreaking as they make it sound, they wouldn't need to go to Kickstarter because companies would be tripping over themselves trying to get it.

The prototype can't create dark at all, only their silly mockups from before they had anything to show at all. Now it just looks like poo poo instead of impossible.

There's at least one guy in the comments section declaring that the KS was a great success, even though it was suspended.

I like the "Holy poo poo you guys what if Big Razor shut this down?????  " comments the most! As opposed to, like, all the people reporting it to Kickstarter for blatant violation of their rules (and for being shady as gently caress).

Why can't he do that from the states, or better yet find an American studio to animate it. I think he failed at that the first time, because there's no mention of japan in his original KS. So I guess he figured "ah, anime is what the kids like right" Or he's a weeb.

How does flexible funding even work? Do they get the money pledged straight away to Also would indiegogo shut this down based on they got deleted from kickstarter?

stringball posted:How does flexible funding even work?

I seem to recall that Indiegogo have closed down a few projects but they seem dodgier than KS so who knows?

Do they get the money pledged straight away to They only get it once it hits the deadline, but they get to keep all of it, whether it makes their goal or not. I can't say for certain but I'm pretty sure there have been a few Kickstarters that have been taken down and successfully started up on Indiegogo. By "successfully" I mean they got money and poo poo, not that they ever made anything. Someone else more knowledgeable than me can probably summon up some examples.

I set up a couple legit IGGs with flexible funding, and as I remember I got the money as it was pledged. Then I set up a joke one to invade Africa and they shut down my account.

Indie Gogo is just Kickstarter with that, but also the ability to change your funding goal at any time so you keep all the money you rake in even if you don't meet your initial goal. It's like Kickstarter but somehow even more shifty.

Why can't he do that from the states, or better yet find an American studio to animate it. Exactly what I was wondering. Also you'd have a hard enough time just beating on the doors of random animation studios trying to get them to listen to you, but being a foreigner who doesn't even speak Japanese? Good luck dude. loving hilarious. lovely self-published comic wants to self-publish an anime. Hell no. CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:$73k in seven hours (and every time I tabbed back during posting this it had increased). loving hell. Where do these people get their money? You'd think they'd have wasted it all by now.

Just found out about Thunderclap today It's like kickstarter but you pledge a tweet or a tumblr reblog or whatever. Fun fact: it calculates "Social Reach" by looking at the number of followers/friends/whatever when you "pledge".
