Tell me about PayPal! Does PayPal Backer’s funding go towards your Funding Goals?

Yes! We’ll post PayPal totals at the top of our Kickstarter page periodically. The total will also include Vanguard Backers who supported the project at GenCon and PAX Prime.
PREVIOUSLY, we said that PayPal Backers will ONLY get a receipt from PayPal. THAT IS NO LONGER TRUE. They will now get a SECOND receipt from Harebrained Schemes.

So let's see what comes next I guess...

[Sarlic]

Ah they changed it... I dont have a second receipt.

Will try to email them.

Half way there!

HBS just posted that one of the reasons they partnered with PGI was so they could use the customizable geometry system for weaponry.

My god. Could someone (or better yet everybody!) with an account over there post a comment that they should keep in mind how virtually EVERYONE hates what PGI is doing with that dynamic weapons system?

I put $50 in, would be more if there was more digital reward tiers

People hate having different weapons show up on their mech?

People hate having too small/too big and ugly weapons show up on their mechs, ruining the trademark look of them.

Yea, the change is interesting in weapons but often times it's not done very well and leads to...horrible looking alterations that don't need to be that bad.

Voice acting makes games so much cooler and immersive.

It'd be pretty awesome, I think, that when we unlock the voice acting tier that they add a backer reward with a limited quantity that allows the backer to be a voice actor for a minor role or just a unit on the battlefield. This could also be an addition to maybe one of the higher tiers that get to visit the studio or become a character in the e-novellas as I think it would add a lot to the validity of the character and really reinforce that this community is the driving force in keeping Battletech alive.

I am pretty interested in seeing where it stands come Monday morning. Things slowed down a lot more than I thought they would over the last 24 hours. Lets hope for a big bump this weekend and next with at least a constant trickle the rest of the month before one more big bump near the end.

Friday paydays will boost it up each weekend until it is done. Once they get a few of these twitter and facebook side goals out the door I think it will boost things a bit too.

Kicktraq has them going to $11 million total if they keep up the current pace, but that only analyzes what has happened thus far.

Someone pointed out over on the Battletech (TT Game) official forums that apparently the total donated on day 4 of a game is usually a good indication of what the daily average will end up being. So when we find out how much gets pledged today? We can take it times 35 for a reasonably likely estimate of what the final total should be.

I don't think I can be a hire-able merc....

There's only 4 packs left for the $2K and I don't have that much green ready to shoot off like that... ;-(

Good.
I'd feel bad getting you killed in-game, because i decided that punching an Atlas is a good idea.

The Voice Actors guild would take horrible offense to this and possibly take legal action...

B-but I took his side torso with that big AC/20 of his with my hunchback!

Oh wait, I forgot he still has that other arm...

They said they wanted the system for variable geometry, not necessarily the one-model-fits-all weapon models that PGI thinks is enough.

HBS is more than capable of modifying 3D models and adding their own art assets.
