From what i could catch from the text on Twitch / Ngng this is going to be a awesome game. The developers have the experience and no clans (yet) and no terrible F2P model.

Basic game and expansions(?) later.

What about you?

Why did you feel the need to create a second thread when you've already been commenting in the other one?

Didn't get to see the stream, hoping its up tonight so I can watch, but regardless my wallet is going to be lighter tomorrow.

Deadly curious because there were at some point over 1000 viewers. I wonder how many from here and are most likely going to fund?

From what people told me, Quads got a 'maybe', which is more than i was expecting, even though it's less than i hoped.

I'll try to drop some money on the kickstarter too, at least enough to get a copy of the game (maybe also the soundtrack? Cause if Shadowrun is anything to go by, the soundtrack is going to be f*cking best)

Didn't watch the stream but I'm almost definitely going to back the kickstarter. I've backed some other games that I've had a mild interest in but as a fan of the battletech/mechwarrior franchise I'm almost definitely going to be throwing some money at this.

Technically I already funded it...they were doing Pre-Kickstarter sales at PAX and backed it there.

I'll be upping what bracket I'm in once the real Kickstarter page comes out.

[C E Dwyer]

I will probably back it

I do want it to happen, and a big selling point for me is that the game won't be screwed up by clan mechs.

I am after being a Founder here and Mech warrior tactics extremely anti kick start, but i'm still more likely to fund it than not, at least to some extent.

I guess I shall wait and see if, and if there are kick starter goodies, what they are.

[Felio]

TLDW version, pl0x. And will it have co-op? A cool campaign?

[kesmai]

it was stated clearly that you will control 4 mechs. a lance. was hoping they gonna go for company size...
i will take a look at the kickstarter tomorrow and decide then if i back it up.

[Tyler Valentine]

I watched. Saw a lot of names I recognized as well so there was good representation from this game (no big surprise). Sounds freaking awesome! I really hope they at least make tier 3 (lol) so we can have a in-depth game besides just the campaign. Also very interested to see if they could come up with a way to do turn-based multiplayer over 2 people. I will be donating $50 at the very least.

My wallet is ready since the first day it was announced.

Cathy, Jordan's Kickstarter record is flawless if it makes you feel any more confident.

No idea, perpaps on ngng?
My hearing is terrible, i just looked at the text and caught some things.

Everybody was like this in the chat!

[3xnihilo]

I am planning on supporting the kickstarter. Couldn't watch the stream though, it is apparently not considered part of my job.

Too many developers shy away from turn-based multiplayer, but I have seen it dealt with a couple of ways.

First is turn timers. You have to complete your turn in X seconds or your turn ends. Sometimes in the lobby you can set this number or disable it altogether.

Second is total time for turns, which I think is how they do chess competitively. You have X minutes with which to complete all of your turns. You can take 1 second or 5 minutes on a single turn, but when your 30 minutes are up, you lose.

Third is autoattacks are continuous. Everyone attacks simultaneously on a beat. In-between attacks, you can select an ability to use on the next beat instead. Probably less useful for this game.

When J. Weisman said that his favorite 'Mech is the Hatchetman ...

[Roadkill]

Nope. No more pre-funding for me. Been screwed over too many times.

If I like the game when it comes out, I'll buy it. But I'm not giving any more companies money until the product is worth buying.

You want pre-funding? Find a publisher. They'll take some/all of your profits in exchange for pre-funding your game.

What do gamers get for pre-funding? Some trinkets and baubles aren't going to cut it anymore. I'll next consider pre-funding something when I'm offered a share of the proceeds.

Ninja-backed at Gencon already.
