The people from 5 Second Films are making a feature length movie! Right now they're trending short of the goal, but I really hope the film gets made because it looks like it'll be amazing! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/5sf/dude-bro-party-massacre-3

This does looks pretty cool ... I've been tossing up for a few days whether to back it ... $45 for international shipping is all that's putting me off really, but I guess they can't really get around that, it's gotta be a pretty bulky box.

I've decided to back it; the game does look like it'll be great. Ancient Terrible Things (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pleasantcompanygames/ancient-terrible-things) looks like it might be fun too ... the video doesn't give a huge amount of detail about the gameplay, but they've put a copy of the rules up. I'm not really sure what to compare it to; it doesn't really remind me of anything else I've played. quote:A pulp horror dice game for 2-4 players.

Definitely a dice heavy game, though... and dice don't ever seem to like me much. It looks like it's going to meet its goal, and it will definitely go on the ol' wishlist when it does! Thanks for showing me this one.

with the recent SCOTUS rulings it seemed appropriate to post this. I'm part of a band that is creating a video that focuses on homophobia and discrimination- and we've been talking with some of the biggest LGBT-advocacy organizations to craft it into a nationwide campaign that targets high-school students this coming year. how many kickstarters have NFL superbowl champs recommending their project?! ours does! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/289033959/dont-ask-me-why-a-music-video-by-great-caesar There's only a few days left so if you're interested, please check it out. I'm also happy to answer whatever questions people have. I know it's a complicated issue and we've been doing loads of reading and discussing to make sure our message is effective, impactful, and respectful.

reni89 posted:Hi KS experts, If your pitch and your PR campaign aren't amazing then there's a pretty big risk that your project will get lost amongst the noise at Indiegogo. Of course, if your pitch and your campaign aren't amazing it might not do well at Kickstarter either but it'll still stand a better chance. In either case the PR work you do outside of KS/IGG will make or break the project unless it goes viral on its own and there's never any guarantee of that. There's a few websites out there with step by step instructions on setting up a Kickstarter project from Australia and it sounds like a fairly arduous process but if you're serious about setting up this business then it'd probably be worth it. It'll be a lot easier if you've got a friend in the US who can become your 'employee' and register the LLC and the bank accounts and everything for you, or you could even take a trip over there and do it yourself.

For those of you who didn't know - I sell homemade beef jerky here in the SA Mart. I also have a Kickstarter Campaign running to help get better equipment so that I can make the jerky better. That project has waaaaay exceeded my expectations, but too much is never enough so go check it out at : http://www.epicsriracha.com That link will take you straight to the campaign for now, and shortly after the campaign is over it will redirect to my website.

Because it's FarSight, king of delays and buggy broken releases. Check out the Pinball thread in Games sometime. That's not to say they're totally incompetent or anything like that; they're still the top of their game, but their releases are usually pretty rocky. In late June they posted this on their Facebook page (my emphasis): quote:PC/Steam: Since our Steam Greenlight several months ago, we’ve been hard at work creating a Steam version of the Pinball Arcade. We’re happy to announce that the first Beta build of the Steam platform was released to internal test this week! We will be conducting a closed public Beta of the Steam version in July- if you are one of our Kickstarter backers entitled to Beta access on the PC platform, watch your email for information on how to get access! We are targeting an August release for the Pinball Arcade on Steam with all of the current table packs available.

ultrafilter posted:How about some really lightweight shoes? That actually sounds like a really intelligent idea. Lightweight, waterproof, durable shoes? The only thing that could make it better is if they offered velcro (or maybe even Duotec) instead of laces for true laziness. And sold them for around $10-12 at Walmart. Cheap and high tech? Who wouldn't want that? VVVV - It definitely falls in the realm of dubiously necessary items, but it would be cool to have a large T-Rex head near the front door of my house.

This looks really cool, as I understand it, it's a lightweight, low cost ion thruster for micro-satellites. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597141632/cat-a-thruster-for-interplanetary-cubesats?ref=home_popular  It probably won't get funded, because it's not a iphone accessory, video game or a tiny plastic boobie-girl figurine though

Wallet looks cool though, how kickstarter appropriate. I just discovered there is already another company making these. I discovered it because, well, I was interested in the idea and felt like doing a little research. The general idea is pretty cool. Whoever comes up with the best implementation will get my money. The Kickstarter version already reached its funding goal, and I'm getting the feeling that I'll have to wait a while before I can throw money at them to actually get a pair of shoes.

I was surfing the Newly Launched a few days ago to look for contributions to the Worst Kickstarters thread, and actually found something cool: Sun Never Sets, a short film about a British enclave in near-future Shanghai. The plot isn't very well defined at this point, but the idea of the short is to explore post-colonial themes, using the main character's idealization of the British Empire and refusal to accept its decline as a metaphor for the possible decline of Western culture in general, as developing economies rise to prominence and the west loses its place of privilege. It doesn't appear to be doomsaying; it neither mourns or delights in the decline of the West, because it's not really what it's about, it's about the rise of the rest of the world, and whether we'll be able to deal with no longer being the best at everything, on a personal, psychological level. It looks like it will deal with themes that are timely, relevant, and mostly unaddressed by other works.
