Legate of Mineta Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yeah! There has been a really great response from folks that want to play the game. It's very positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I would certainly hope that the folks that want to play the game are positive about it. Funding is at $701-748/day for minimum goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metis Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 If VB is going to have holiday events the Team could put in an Academagia holiday as a sort of in-joke/stealth advertisement. 'Course that might end up breaking immersion, especially if it doesn't translate well, but the one relate-able event on the one day out of 360+ shouldn't be too unreasonable...

Legate of Mineta Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 LOL! There are already a few references I've seen to our other games- Johnny McMurray is a Captain in '36. I'm sure some references to AM will creep in, although nothing immersion breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 now Academagia it self sure would sound strange but if you split the 2 words into academy and magic it suddenly open lot of possibilities to use them. Also one could use "this isle looks like it is flying" because of mirage. Scheherazade is more easy to let slip in as you i.e. have the year 1931 and even the name it self can be used. For Holdfast you can i.e. use dwarf for something small. But on the other side Victory Belles sound like a combat school for females or a mercenary group name that can be used in Academagia. In Holdfast Victory Belles could be the name of a Tavern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzbart Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Gratulation for reaching $20k! So 2/3th of your minimum is reached with 2 week still to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 $714-769/day to go, so funding is slowing down a little. Not that 2/3 funded in 1/2 the time is a bad ratio, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Obviously an Academagia reference would need to be much more subtle. Maybe references to the magic used in setting, rather than to a specific place. Gates magic would be the logical choice...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Can agree with the subtlety. Maybe name a character after one of the Gates masters? I mean Aminþia Que’la or Ruynalta Obranabú would stand out like a sore thumb, but Dominiche (Schohanwicht) you could probably fit in somewhere.

Legate of Mineta Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Gates magic. Suddenly, the Bismarck appears in Lake Ardica. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Haha! Well, in hindsight Gates is not really known for subtlety, but it would explain why it existed, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 That, or a sudden Dragon invasion in VB. It probably wouldn't fit the setting at all, even with the Morgana being aliens or whatever, but some kind of non-canon special event where you get to fight an entirely new enemy type...not necessarily a bad idea, right?

Metis Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 ...The Morgana are Dragons? That'd be a thing. Funding has creeped up to $753-816/day, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CremePudding Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Seems like anywhere it is mentioned people just assume it is a bootleg game of that warship waifu game thing. You might consider addressing that on your page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 CP; We've seen the comments as well- it's a little difficult to invite folks to learn differently, though, as it would seem odd to outright state: "this is not a clone!" as the first thing on the page. It's a problem we've been banging our heads together about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Outright denying that VB is a clone is the fastest way to convince people that it is a clone. Just sell that VB is what it is and make people draw their own conclusions. If general consensus is that it's a clone, the Team done goofed.

Legate of Mineta Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Metis; I suppose you have a point, although at least I feel pretty strongly that it isn't. In fact, I feel it's closer to Arpeggio of Blue Steel than anything else. Just me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 $9k still needed with 12 days to go. So at last $750 needed per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
