New kaiju game from Matt Frank + Simon Strange [Archive]

[Grayshot954]

^yes. You can choose any prize under 50. So your best bet is the 40 reward zone.

[jamezilla]

It says I have to pledge $75 or more for ALL the Kaiju Combat versions/releases.

[Grayshot954]

^that is for all future dlc/editions. I think the 20 or 30 comes with the free game.

[jamezilla]

Yeah, sorry, I meant all the dlc and stuff.

[Grayshot954]

So u would need to pay at least 75.

[jamezilla]

Damn, I can't quite afford that, oh well.

It's funny someone brings up DRM. For some reason I've been playing Spore lately. It has over 2,000 1-star reviews on Amazon in protest of its use of DRM, lol.

Tipping works!

FYI , its a pledge, so you dont end up paying until after its gathered the goal and the time runs out. so you can go ahead and pledge what you have and later change it to $75. for example. even after i mentioned that i didnt see the point in the 40$ level, i pledged 40$, realizing im a moron i upped it to 60$ so i can get a copy of the game with my shirt. i might bump it up to 75$ if there isnt at least one pink monster on the shirt. then ill get the game and all the dlc, but no shirt. if they decide to change it to giant kittens fighting i can even cancel my pledge entirely as long as i do it before the 30 days is up. so if you think you might get the funds before the time is up go ahead and pledge, its essentially risk free.

@oasis_S
i YARRRRed that game, it sucked. mentioned it in the L4D steam community chat, and a steam mod saw it, and banned my account. had to do some serious crow eating to get it back. still glad i didnt drop 60$ for it.

Will t-shirts be made available for sale if this does get off the ground? I paid $75, so I don't get the t-shirt. But I'd pay for one regardless.

Tipping works!

Hey, I messaged them two days ago too. They must have been interested in the tips we gave them.

[Mr. Strange]

Press is rolling in all over the place! My favorite thus far:

http://gs.inside-games.jp/news/344/34486.html

Tips, Youtube responses, and message boards are absolutely paying off. The Sunstone Games twitter account is also racking in tons of new followers.

Keep up the good work! I predict that in a few days we'll wake up, and suddenly the number will be at $100,000.

[Mr. Strange]

We'll see about the T-shirts. They are a bit expensive to produce ($25) but if you're willing to pay ~$30, I don't see why we wouldn't sell you one.

Also - we'll be adding some new reward tiers - feel free to increase your pledge amounts as new goodies open up!

[sirmonster]

Pay days I feel better today I think ill hit up some more boards tomorrow. Beer and bbq ribs fixed things.

[Living Corpse]

Okay, we have Matt Frank spreading word at G-Fest.

Now we just need someone to do it at EVO and Comic-con especially since there are rumors of the LPG teaser at Comic-con which if true means hype for the film which we can use to further realize this game.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, 11 pages and all, but I really hope that you are planning native controller support for the PC version. I'd love to be able to plug in my PS3 controller (which would be emulating a 360 controller) and play the game, especially if a console release seems unlikely.

From the Kickstarter comments:
Mr. Strange - "yes, Xbox360 and PS3 controllers work fine. In fact, you can use them to play just about any PC game you already own. That's how the team has been creating Xbox games since 2001!"

Yeah, ask Matt for hugs too.

Thanks for spreading the word around guys!

[SpanishBulldog63]

I've got a few friends spreading word through their facebooks and their anime/videogame forums.Need to hit them up again for a progress report.

[Mr. Strange]

Forum posts continue to multiply - any more youtube folks on here? Youtube is, apparently, a really good way to connect with kaiju fans... The few video responses to my video test (which wasn't meant to be anything but a test!) are a huge source of our donations. Maybe a few more would help? Just remember to stress that we need dotations - even small amounts help a bunch!

In other news, I'd added a new reward level at $115 which gives you every release of the game PLUS the T-shirt and wallpaper. It was specifically requested, and you know I can't refuse a polite request!

Japanese press is going wild on the game right now - that's pretty cool.
