    But the BT4 pitch wasn't anywhere near being solid. Looks like you were wrong after all.

    I admit, that Fargo made a very reasonable choice announcing BT4 only after 2 successful kickstarters. He certainly pulled over a lot of people from these. I doubt Brenda & Guido would have achieved the same - ever. They just ain't got the community anymore.

    That reminds me of an interview (approximately 1-1.5 years ago) in which John Romero talked about a new shooter in production. However, I've heard nothing about it anymore...

    Looks like the original trilogy was good PR. $70k to go.

    Stretch goals is what is interesting, we all know they are going to reach the minimum.

    Heh, they're going for maximum gamification:

    And stretch goals:

    Not sure why they didnt do all the social media achievements when the campaign started. It obviously worked for Bloodstained.

    Huh, I gotta say I'm not doing backflips over those stretch goals. "Two more CNPCs" doesn't mean anything when we don't know how many CNPCs are already planned. As for crafting, inventory management in blobbers is already enough of a pain in the ass without adding a bunch of little ingredients to manage. But hey, I know that just saying the word crafting is a big turn-on for many RPG fans. Hope it works well for them.

    As for making fan art and doing fan versions of bard songs, that actually sounds pretty fun. Will probably participate. Already thinking about how to talk my band into wasting a rehearsal session recording a track for this instead.
