Vatdim Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Congrats Obsidian and everyone else! Kickstarter is already at more than $1.6M and it's been just over 4 days since the whole thing started! How long do you think it will take to reach the next mark?

Kickstarter is already at more than $1.6M and it's been just over 4 days since the whole thing started! How long do you think it will take to reach the next mark? It'll probably take consecutively longer to reach each new stretch goal from now on. Kickstarter usually slows down quite a bit after the first few days. I'd say we won't see the 1.8 million goal reached before the start of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^Rayne^ Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thumbs up on hitting stretch goal number 2! I'm hoping you will hit #'s 3, 4, and 5 before the time is over. I agree with the second poster, that we probably won't see goal 3 hit until Monday or Tuesday next week. Things are definitely slowing down now. Still I'm just thrilled the main target was met and now the first two stretch goals to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep fighting the good fight man, I`m creating threads about project eternity on other forums, and discussing about the old school games, it makes some people interested in it, some of them will eventually help with the project.

Director Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Might see a small bump from OS X users that are now promised a native version though. Well - I hope so anyhow. Also Grats Obsidian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^Rayne^ Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 http://www.kicktraq....oject-eternity/ But you can always use kicktaq to make enlighted guesses While that would be super cool, my bet is for something between 2-3 million (closer to 3 than 2). Still I would love to see 10+. That would be totally awesome, but I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateOwns Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Whooooo!!! I hope they post some new stretch goals soon so that we can see where this can end up eventually. I'd like to see them post goals up to 3m soon, Can't wait for Project Eternity!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The Obsidian guys better hurry up and decide upon what they want for the $2.4+ million stretch goals.

Kage Tempest Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I iactually want to see what actual races they are creating for this world >.=.< It would give me a greater idea of how tolkienesque it is or how creatively original it is. I like both but I'd rather see something that isn't done often, like Khajiits and Orcs from The Elder Scrolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I don't know... I've already bought in, but I'm going to get at least two different games for friends and maybe three as gifts. I think they'll appreciate being part of the project on the one hand and on the other they'll get a cool game a couple years hence. One of them, in particular, will appreciate the digital soundtrack. I just need to figure out how to put their name on the purchase. I think I should have just have purchased at the next teir. I think it includes three digital downloads, but what's done is done.

Progressive_Stupidity Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 :D I'm guesstimating they reach about $3 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoxNoctum Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I predict 3.2-3.5 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posbi Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm rather positive that we'll break the 2.4 million mark at some point, but unless there's a massive new influx of people pledging towards the end I'd say it's realistic not to expect too much more.

There usually are these ending spikes of people being reminded the campaign ends soon, people who didn't have the money at hand when it started and guys who try everything to push the funding level over certain stretch goals. Here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunkyman Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 As a Mac user, I am happy this stretch goal was met. Hopefully they hit the 2 million mark before the Kickstarter campaign is through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limaxophobiacq Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Donations are obviously cooling of but I'm hopefull they'll get a bit of a boost toward the end, when some people who've been undecided decide to pitch in, that might take it up to 2.4 and maybe higher if we're lucky.

Progressive_Stupidity Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm pretty confident it will do as well as Wasteland 2. Has there been any mention of modding tools if a certain budget is reached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nivenus Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Congratulations, Obsidian! Hopefully the donations will go further Also, good news for Mac fans who will now be getting a version of "Project Eternity" as well.

lolaldanee Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 well, don't forget us europeans without credit cards - pay pal payments wont show on kickstarter i'd say if they will anounce translation into other languages at some point, we might see another spike shortly after don't think we'll do much more than to crack 3 mil, all points considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elerond Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) If project gets same ammout backers as Wasteland and average backer give $40 (as they have now) then project will reach little under 2.5M dollars and if project gets as many backers as Double Fine and average backer pledges above-metioned $40, then project will reach over little under 3.5M dollars. So final number is most probably somewhere between those sums. Edited September 19, 2012 by Elerond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farudan Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'd say it depends on the stretch goals, the vision of the game and press coverage. BTW: Congrats to us all. Another step forward.

morhilane Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 There is actually a few groups of people who are interested but haven't pledged yet: people who want a DRM free version people who want translations (French, German, Spanish) people who want more information in general (these cause spike after updates) people who always pledge in the last 24 hours There is also quite a few people who haven't heard about the Kickstarter yet. Also, grats on 1.6m and 40k+ backers! 1 Azarhal, Chanter and Keeper of Truth of the Obsidian Order of Eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.E. Sawyer Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks, everyone! An update will be coming tomorrow from Feargus. I've never released a game (out of the gates) for a Mac platform, so I'm really glad we hit this stretch goal. 1 twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
