Keyrock Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 With exactly 1 day left they need 39k to hit the goal. That's slightly over 1.6k per hour, definitely feasible. /crosses fingers RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Hurlshort Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Whoo, it really took off, only needs 24k to make it with 17 hours to go. It looks good, but I'm still a bit nervous. They also have over 5500 backers, awesome. Edited November 20, 2012 by Hurlshot
Cantousent Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Okay, Hurlie, you convinced me. I only pledge for $35, but I did pledge. I figure I'll gift it to my wife. She likes adventure games and I think she might enjoy it. I'll cross my fingers it makes the last little bit. 1 Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

Brannart Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 380K! 20K to go in 15 hours. Still a bit of sweating to do.

Brannart can't you just donate the last 20k, it will reduce the stress for the rest of us?

Brannart Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Brannart can't you just donate the last 20k, it will reduce the stress for the rest of us? KIckstart limits you to 10k or I totally would! Actually even if I had the money my wife would probably kill me.

ShadySands Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I've never played a single Quest for Glory game but I pledged because a lot of you guys seem really passionate about it. It's not much but I hope it helps to make it over the hump 1 Free games updated 3/4/21

Humanoid Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I've been putting off sleep for a couple hours to make sure I don't wake up to a failed project drive. With $5k and 7 hours left it's now assured but still, sort of want to stay up until it's 100%. The things Kickstarter drives me to..... at least Eternity's drive had the decency to end at about noon my time. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

Nice to see it get that nice surge at the end, was expecting it to still be a ways off. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

Hurlshort Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Major thanks to Cant, Shady, and Malcador for kicking in, it looks like it will make it. You won't regret it, the Cole's are one of the few teams that manage to mix humor and wit in with their storytelling. 1
Brannart Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 This game is going to be great, you guys who pledged will not regret this. Getting really close now. Less than $3,000 to go with 6 hours left!
Malcador Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Never know, this could turn out to be crap and I've wasted $60. Impressive how close this is, hopefully backers bump up their pledges to close the gap. Well, it was $1400 when I wrote this, now they need $700 in 5 hours.

Cantousent Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I will say that the kickstarter made it because people like you guys who were really urging other folks (in a good way) to look at the kickstarter. I'm sure there were fans around the world telling their friends at home, at school, and on message boards all about the game how good it would be. A relatively small number of fans can make a big difference in this mean ol' world. Plus, it really shows that we're actually a little community here in our own little spot of the web. I might be the old curmudgeon who shakes his cane at you youngsters, but I still like you enough to toss a few farthings into the basket.

I might be the old curmudgeon who shakes his cane at you youngsters, but I still like you enough to toss a few farthings into the basket. You are funny Cant, but you are right.

alanschu Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I didn't contribute because I'm a heathen, but there's a good chance I'll reward them for their hardwork after release
Malcador Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I eventually kicked in as it's old Sierra folk and I owe them something for that. Why has elegance found so little following?
