By the way, this surfaced recently... Best E3 moment of all time!

Hey, maybe it'll hit a Mighty No. 9 and get a TV show, film, and crossovers announced before the game is even out! /sarcasm


Also GODDAMN I still get goosebumps watching that announcement.

Sounds like a decent budget allocation to me. I'm sure there have been Kickstarters with way worse handling.

He only said footage of the final version would be shown in 2017, not footage period. In fact, if you count the Kickstarter video, footage has already been shown.

Yeah and that stuff doesn't matter, imo the first look at the actual game will be 2017. We know the kickstarter stuff doesn't mean anything.

Hmm, so tempted to get the Tier with the caligraphy. It's $1200, but this would be pretty special.

Currently sitting at the $500 tier.


EDIT: Just saw how much it would be in Australian Dollars, far too expensive.

I'm curious as to why paypal hasn't appeared yet. There's so many people who can't back it due to extreme bank charges outside of America.

PayPal would be really handy, even for those who have limits on their credit card but could direct debit instead.

I'm trying to think what else can we do to give it a final push. There's been loads of videos from the KS and youtube bloggers etc. Maybe we could help push them...

I keep spamming my Twitter feed with this KS campaign. Other than that I've posted it everywhere else to seems relevant. I'm confident that it'll at least get to 5Mil.

I've upped my pledge to the Dice Dudes.

You guys will be able to collect a Made Man toy from the capsule machines, and I'll leave a nice message in the guest book :D
