Metis Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I just hope the VB team is prepared for the workload. Honestly I'm still not sure if the VB team was serious about those stretch goals or if they were made up just for the sake of being able to say there are stretch goals. Meeting them certainly didn't seem likely for, what, 'bout 2+ weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Metis; Oh yeah, they're prepared. They are *hungering* for Mascots, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Schwarzbart; Yeah, it looks like the Team decided not to push another Update- there are only 11 total for Ars Magica, and it feels 'wrong' to have two about Victory Belles. It's probably a good idea to get the news out, but...we just feel bad about doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 still 11k needed till the 2nd stretch goal but it don't look like the pledges slowed down! Maybe together with PayPal backing after it will really work out for the 2nd one. Beside PayPal have changed the rules for crowdfunding projects recently if I remember right. Edit: Also don't forget to keep the PayPal backer to be updated as well as I.e. Stocistudio apparently complete forgot about the PayPal backer and only published news at the Kickstarterpage (and even forgot to send out keys for The Banner Saga II to some of the PayPal backer who backed for the trilogy).

Legate of Mineta Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Haha! Yeah, we mixed the PayPal folks in with the others on our lists so that *definitely* wouldn't happen for Holdfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 $205-210/hour for the second stretch goal. Which is ~$50 less than a little over 20 hours ago. So for the past 20 hours there have been over $250 worth of pledges per hour. Either I goofed on my math or...yeah. That's nuts. EDIT: Speaking of math goofs, I decided to check how much in-game currency will be given out through KS. (238×6)+(238×25)+(71×50)+(47×75)+(30×100)+((84+21+29+1+5+1+2+10+9+1+1)×150)=$42053 so far. I hope the Team is not counting on getting income through the micro-transaction aspect any time soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yeah, I'm calling it right now: It's going to be close but the second stretch goal will be made. The difference that shoutout made is pretty obvious. The game seemed barely on track to being funded before then. But that's just a theory.

Schwarzbart Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I wonder how many new people will join this forum after the KS because of VB ^^ Edit: crazy less then 6k needed for stretch goal 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Down to $162-167/hour for the second stretch goal. That's just...not right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 WOOO! Go, Fleet, Go!!! ...Game Theory. I saw what you did there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Only 5k left till 2nd stretch goal oO Maybe if BCS open up a other $1500 or make even a $2000 slot it might get even faster up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 $4k! We have 3 custom Belles made, and that's probably enough, even for the promise of greater funding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 So I hear there'll be a third stretch goal? Now the Team's just getting greedy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 2nd goal funded! Well, congrats to the Team. I didn't expect success on this level at all when the kickstarter began. This success makes me wonder if you'll come out with a second kickstarter for Ars Magica down the line with the lessons learned. ...Just so long as Y2 comes out first.

Legate of Mineta Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hahaha! Yes, I wholeheartedly agree! But Ars Magica will require a heavy investment to get to the same point- not to be tread lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 OK the 2nd stretch goal was unlocked and the pledge is now over $78k but reaching 100k for the next stretch goal in less then 1 day would be plain crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Schwarzbart; It would be amazing, but super unlikely. But, useful to put up because I suppose that the PayPal store might actually get us there. We'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 20k to go for the 3rd stretch with only 18h left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Just $1140-1212/hour for the last stretch goal. Totally doable, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metis Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm seeing several mentions in the KS comments about people applying for the forum, but this forum still lists Larae95E36 as the newest (4+ month old) member. Are people talking about the subreddit fan forum or...whatever that is or is there some problem with registration here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Metis; Yeah, I just came here to see the same thing. As far as I know, this is open reg. It's a little confusing to me. Going to have to reach out to them to figure out if they are going to the right place or...if something changed. I don't think we did anything with permissions. Then again...we haven't seen spam in like 4 months, have we...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hmm...no, I don't recall any recent spam off-hand. Odd. Time to investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
