mph 74 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) So, in a recent interview Feargus said that they had reached about 1.4m from PayPal and slacker backers for PoE 1: We put our backup portal together and we kept on getting funding. I don't know the exact number, it's somewhere between $1.3 and $1.5 [million]. So in essence, the total amount we brought in – and this was after Kickstarter fees – was about $5.2 million Pledges on Fig equaled about 54% of pledges from KS. Applying the same proportion to the above we get 1.4m*0.54 = 0.756m, over 150k more than we need for a 5m total. But will we get there in time?

HooAmEye 315 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Should we try to spread awareness of the backer portal? There is a **** ton of people out there who hate fig, but who be happy to back using paypal. We could try posting it on reddit, and such 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silent Winter 1,171 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Adding a crew and having interactions play out with them is a cool distraction from the main game, but fishing for sea monsters? Ambivalent about that one. Am I the only one who read "Fishing and sea-monsters" to mean two separate things? I think the fishing mini-game is for recipes and resting bonuses. The sea-monsters were already in game as possible encounters and this just adds more of them. 1 Quote _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form* Link to post Share on other sites

Fishing for recipes etc. and more sea monsters for (random) encounters. I personally don't care about the fishing part, but I want more sea monsters Quote Hate the living, love the dead.

Leferd 3,050 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 https://www.fig.co/campaigns/deadfire?update=298#updates Still at $4.57 million. Doesn't look like they'll hit $5 million, let alone $4.75 million -- unless there's going to be an aggressive marketing push. Kinda annoying that they aren't posting these Fig updates in the announcement section of the official PoE2 forums. 5 Quote "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle Link to post Share on other sites

Messier-31 2,481 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Same here, by chance stumbled upon the update on the FIG site, even before the e-mail arrived. Quote It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air... Link to post Share on other sites
TheisEjsing 2,031 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Well, I think it's a smart move to hold off the marketing campaign until after the gaming sites are slowing down with Mass Effect news. If OE went aggresive before now, they would just drown in the news feeds everywhere. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrTomT18 35 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I really, really hope we get fishing and sea monsters. Quote It is human nature to seek culpability in a time of tragedy. It is a sign of strength to cry out against fate, rather than to bow one’s head and succumb. Inevitably many will fault the hands upon the sword which felled Typhon, the Ordo Malleus. But the Inquisition merely performs the duty of its office. To further fear them is redundant; to hate them, heretical. Those more sensible will place responsibility with those who forced the hands of the Inquisition. With some fortune, they may foster this hatred into purpose, and further rule their own fate by coming to the Emperor’s service. Yet ultimately, it was I who set these events into motion, with a single blow from my hammer, God Splitter. -Gabriel Angelos, of the Blood Ravens 4th Company Link to post Share on other sites
Aleh1811 69 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 They really are not making much of an effort to keep the hype up. Since the fig campaign finished I haven't read any interviews from the developers or seen any announcements. How are they expecting people that missed the campaign to know they can fund the game if they are not even aware of its existence? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShadySands 7,903 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I saw one for PC Gamer I think it was. Maybe a week and a half ago Quote Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to post Share on other sites
Aleh1811 69 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I saw it too. But the interview was made during the campaign, released first to a subset of paying readers and made available to everyone a week or so ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
