The CEO, John Smedley of SOE / Daybreak fame, is also answering questions in an AMAA thread. The Hero's Song Community

Let the mocking commence. I also pledged $25, but I will probably up it to $100 or $150 by the time the Kickstarter project finishes.

My heart has been broken too many times by in-progress games not named Darkest Dungeon or Kerbal Space Program.

The thing that confuses me the most about this is why they have like 4 of the same pledge goal, at the same price, with the same rewards.CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:hahaha

Pixelmage pulled the plug on the Kickstarter campaign and is moving forward with game development using investors instead: Announcement here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/herossong/heros-song/posts/1474916

If they have enough money without the kickstarter than why have the kickstarter? I wouldn't be surprised if a kickstarter has just become a thinly veiled pre-order system that lets you sell stupid things like lunch with the developers for $2,000. Does a project have to prove need of kickstarter funding in order to qualify, or can you take any already-funded project and slap a kickstarter on it?

Sylphosaurus posted:I get the impression from some cancelled Kickstarters that the developers are trying to limit how much they need to rely on external financers and in extension, lose out on the rights to their IP. Based on the way Smed worded it, they had two financing options outside of the Kickstarter: publishers and investors. Best I can tell, investors are good but having to go through a publisher is akin to selling one's soul. gunfighter fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Jan 26, 2016 |

Seems very ambitious. Colour me interested especially if with the rogue you can steal from other players.
