I gotta say, I was worried at first but with only 100k left and 11 and a half days to go I'm pretty sure now that we've made it. The real question now is HOW well will we make it. I'm hoping for a last 3 days to rival the first 3.
Joliet_Jane you can stop being so worried now methinks. Sure we can't let our guard down but I'm pretty sure we got this one in the bag. YAY!

Look at it this way: Every game Kickstarter pulls in a bunch of money in it's last three days. As an example, Jane Jensen pulled in over $60K. If we only need another $40K by June 12th, this is going to be simple. And let's face it, we're going to bring in more than another $40K by June 12th. I'm predicting this will go to $500K or higher.joliet_jane wrote: $100,000 is still a lot of moneeeeee awoooo-hoo-hoooo
And we've been way, way outpacing Jane Jensen's Kickstarter, so hers is really a pessimistic example anyway. Republique did about $250,000 in its last three days (because it needed that much to make it).Matthew Buckstein wrote:Look at it this way: Every game Kickstarter pulls in a bunch of money in it's last three days.

There is almost no chance of this failing at this point. It's in the bag.
Agreed, I will certainly miss this thrill, but hopefully following the game's development will fill in that loss.Joel wrote:I see what Agatha Christie meant when she said, "the thrill is in the chase, never the capture." The previous few weeks of this campaign have been nail biting and not for a second has it been boring. When all is said and done, I have a feeling i'm going to miss this particular era of UTM.
I'm starting to think that we could be 100k over the goal and Joliet_Jane would still be panicked that everyone would suddenly pull out all their money.
The $15 access to the forum during development does sound interesting, hopefully no spoilers will be revealed though. Maybe like DoubleFine they should have a Spoiler and Non Spoiller section for updates and news.LockeCole wrote:Agreed, I will certainly miss this thrill, but hopefully following the game's development will fill in that loss.

The same feeling occurred to me today. This is the most action we've seen since the Radio Theater, but in a much more condensed period of time. It has also allowed a few people to shine, and has brought the community together that much more.When all is said and done, I have a feeling i'm going to miss this particular era of UTM.
Once we've all popped the champagne cork, I will certainly miss the thrill of it all.

Well. Then we await the production of the game. And view the behind-the-scenes stuff that'll no doubt appear. And then.
Then.
We get to play a new Tex Murphy adventure.
