[Missing my (k)ickstarter backer badge...]

Test post to see if there is a Slacker Backer badge.

 

Appears to be not

 

And what of the "Pillars of Eternity Backer Badge" which my profile says I have.  Is that badge invisible?

 

Ah, it appears one must finalize the pledge process first.

[Update #66: Double Whammy]

So, I've seen the term being used for some time now and I wonder if you guys could spend a moment to think about it...

 

Been discussed before

And this statement from Update #66 gives me hope:

 

"Oh, and slacker backers… you might have some upgrade opportunities… :)"

 

Maybe an upgrade opportunity will allow us slackers to change our status from slacker backer!!

[Josh Sawyer on "the importance of real-world knowledge for game design"]

I think this is quite relevant to the PE board since that's the game he's currently designing!

 

This just makes me feel that these people really love what they do and are willing to pursue all avenues of "research" to make great games.

I feel even more confident I will love PE.

[i just imagin how much PE]

Well i just imaging right now how much coffee beers chips junk-food power-trip PE going to give me to my ordinary life when its out

 

 

what about you ? :D

 

I can only really relate to one item in your list

[Update #61: In-game Art]

Well, I hate to sound "easy", but I think I would be perfectly happy with that scene in the finished product!

[Modding]

I have always loved the idea of being able to mod a game.
But of all the mod-able games I have played, I have yet to jump in !
Maybe PE will be my first?

["Slacker Backer" needs a new name]

I don't really take offense to the title, but slacker does, after all, imply lack of effort or laziness in my mind.
I do prefer (maybe an alternate title?) something more like "late to the party" as suggested previously (or "those who live under a rock").
I only learned of Project Eternity a little more than a month ago.
So my only choice for backing the game is via the "slacker backer" option.
Had I known about it while the kickstarter campaign was active, I would have pledged in a heartbeat!
