Is it bad that I keep tabbing from work to check the funding goals or check this thread?

I'm already in for 50 bucks, but if they added a new goal that gave a second copy of the game as a gift so I could give one to my son, I'd jump on that in a heartbeat.

No, it's not, it's quote normal acutlaly

And I'd like them to be able to do that.

Gifting...

But I guess you could use a pre-paid paypal and give it to him to purchase.

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.

Better to be safe than sorry -
After all the only thing PGI has going for them is Alex' art, and even that they are trying to ruin by their modifications ...

We are 40k from Voice acting!! Gogogog kick starter financing...

I'd think it's a pretty safe bet we're already there with Paypal counted, since it was already at 33k from day 1, I have a hard time believing we didn't pick up the last 7k.

I'm sure the game will support multiple save files. It would be lunacy if it didn't.

Well we have the voice acting! Awesome! Next is 3D models.

Just a reminder to all, the main counter at the top does not reflect the PayPal contributions (listed seperatly lower). You need to add the two for the total contributions.

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 will have to disagree with you. Personally, I would not want someone like myself, or most of the people I hear on voice comms, doing any voice acting for ANY game. I sincerely hope HBS has the sense to hire talented voice actors. Sorry, but i just cannot stand bad voice acting. I would rather just read the text in that case.

What did we start at today again?

[Dulahan]

Just under 1,300,000, IIRC.

So if we assume 40K per day for 30 days and then an unknown last day...

Well 40K per day for 30 days is 1,200,000 which puts us at the 2.5 million goal lol. So lets assume 30 K which is $900,000. We would need $270,000 on the last day to hit multi player.

Here is to hoping we stick close to 40K a day.

If it comes down to it on the last day I think a lot of us will be upgrading packages.

Voice acting is now funded.

[Water Bear]

This is the first time I feel kind of excited about hearing music / dialogue. We'll see if it's the first game I don't skip 90% of the dialogue for .

[Nathan Foxbane]

Voice Acting is go and there are now options to get additional copies for gifts. Let the giveaways begin.

Wow, the ELH (and SoL)? Even if only in Skirmish mode, it's still going to be awesome to be fighting their units with their respective paints. Plus, maybe the player can decorate his own units with theirs?

Hmm, wonder which other merc/house units HBS could insert into the game; Liao's Death Commandos, or one of the Donegal Guards, perhaps...

Hopefully each major house plus Comstar will have at least 1 iconic unit in the game.

Only 1 2k package left.

Can't afford it. But I know someone on here was hoping they would not sell out before they could. Looks like someone dropped to 1k so now there are 2 2k left.
