13 days to go.  Still bringing in money every day, but the trending level has tanked.  Down to 65% of goal, and still hasn't made more than half of what they're looking for.

Nothing significant for updates this week, unless posters and wallpapers are of interest.  Also, a class/race combo chart of the announced races/classes was released.

Ahahahaha

So now apparently they have realized it's not going to get funded so they have been talking in the comments section about setting up direct funding tiers on their website.   Ohhhhh, I see.

Well, if the KS fails to fund, they get zero dollars.
Whereas, if they can get the same suckers to give them the money directly via their own (undoubtedly secure) website, they get $350k or whatever.
Probably not enough to fund a studio, but it will keep them in hookers and blow while they look for jobs in the food services or custodial industries.

LOL.

When I'm bored I've been reading the re-rolled thread.  According to them backers are getting invites to the forums.  Why is that funny?  It turns out they found a new way to fund the game:

Quote
Supporter ($5.00 monthly)
 As a supporter, you will have access to the all player areas as well as supporter forums, participation in the game Q&A system, the lore forums, and community events with Visionary Realms, Inc. staff, designers, and developers.

 Champion ($14.95 monthly)
 As a Champion, you will have access to supporter areas, plus private champion areas, and be able to join and listen/watch monthly progress meetings. Champions will appear in book of lore and receive the collectors edition of the game of release.

 why so serious?

Anyone who is dumb enough to pay someone to let them listen in on progress meetings for a project that is going nowhere on a bullet train needs serious mental help.

Charging a sub that allows you to play a game and also grants you forum access is a little bit different to charging a sub to view a fucking alpha forum for a game that is years away from being released, if ever.

I think it's a brilliant idea to charge the most rabid fanboys for the privilege to feel they are special without promising them anything concrete. It might actually make for a great psychological experiment to set up something like that and see how long people are willing to pay for it without seeing any real progress.  why so serious?

Wait, they're charging $15/month to access the forum now? Or are they talking post-release?

The former would be extraordinary. So much so that I find it hard to believe.

Did you not notice the cherry on-top of that shit sandwich? Not only do you get access to forums, but you also get access to their Q&A system, which means you get to pay for the privilege of finding bugs. So not only do the devs not have to pay for extra Q&A, or deal with the volunteer work issues, they expect people to PAY for this privilege?

That's some fucking evil genius shit there, man.

Yea but either would be unprecedented. A subscription fee to access a Q&A "FAQ" section, or a subscription fee to access a QA bug-reporting tool  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

I will say that KS is doing for Brad exactly what it was designed to do. It's a great way to test the waters, to see if you have the cache to generate interest before triple mortgaging ones life with a pie-in-sky high cost demo or playable.

Regardless of the person, I never like seeing someone fail that expensively.

I think that someone with some business acumen and/or common sense might have used a KS to test the waters for the level of interest in this project. Such a person would probably have put together a more impressive KS in the first place. Put on display a more detailed vision than just "Like EQ, not like WoW, I'm Aradune, pay me lol."

Given that he is *just now* putting out the call for angel investors, I'd say that he was expecting the KS to take their place.

The fact that he's now shaking down his Twitter audience for networking illustrates just how desperate and/or clueless he is.

He wanted to take the plebs for a ride. But there just were not enough of them dumb enough to give him money which he did not have any requirement to ever pay back (or even use for the purpose they thought they were paying for).

Well yes. KS is not for people whose success comes from companies buying them out smiley All I was saying that better for him to slap something small together to gauge interest. At least then it's mostly emotional cost rather than a financially catastrophic one.

I agree with the things you are saying, for KS in general. My point is that, in this specific case, I think the KS was supposed to substitute for angel investment, and that the benefits you're talking about were stumbled upon via a combination of serendipity and laziness.
