Stretch goal discussion!

Feargus said they're working on it.

1400 replies.. wow... and 1XD

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?

Hopefully, I want to be able to fish squids

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

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.

Sure, why not? No harm in letting people know they aren't out of luck yet.

I'm fine with all the stretch goals even though I obviously like some more than others but if people want to poopoo on some then I'm fine with that too

 

I'm easy like that

I'm surprised this thread hasn't broken yet

 

Who are the mods for this place? Normally they close threads after 500

 

Are we living in the future??

Nope, you are not the only one. That is exactly how I understood it as well.

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

+1

 

Though I was kind of hoping Kraken and Polpovir would be in by default, rather than by a stretch goal.

​Especially given the official art

So wait...the plan is for there to not have kraken tentacle recipes?

 

^Thank you for taunting the landlocked seafood lover.

sorry leferd, though with ydwin as a sidekick/companion, am suspecting if you are nice to her she will make you a bento with little octopus sausages. 

 

huzzah.

 

HA! Good Fun!

Well then. I've had a change of heart. Need to get Ydwin-Chan as a companion. Senpai must be fed.

Glad crews are in

 

That's something I really wanted

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.

Yeah, I miss them posting the updates here too

Same here, by chance stumbled upon the update on the FIG site, even before the e-mail arrived.

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.

I really, really hope we get fishing and sea monsters.

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?

I saw one for PC Gamer I think it was. Maybe a week and a half ago

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.
