Planetary Annihilation - Kickstarter Project

[Cold Fusion]

Is there an approx release date? THe vids look pretty polished

The vid, is just a vid sadly and represents what they want the game to look like and therefore the game is very much in the early stages hence the concept art.

Not sure if they even have an engine up and running yet.

For a decent game I would expect a release date around a year from now.

Well chuffed we've got water planets and naval units, was the minimum I would have wanted. Tempted to up my kick starter as wouldn't mind the exclusive units and the model.

The metal "planets" sound like they have epic potential as well but not sure if they'll get there in the time left.

 

[Squark]

I think they'll probably end up with ~1.4M

I have been checking Kickstarter every day, funding has slowed down and I think they will achieve the next stretch goal but 1.5 million does not look achievable. Hopefully when the game is released it will be a success and we will see unachieved stretch goals in the expanision.

It all depends on what they make from paypal. That never appears till after the funding deadline.

I just upped my pledge to $40 for the beta

The more I think about it the more I want to play this game!

The thing I like about the concept style is the simple textures, I hope they keep it that way with simple decals like those commander concepts.

Going by the WTF! developer interview it seems like they'll be sticking to a fairly clear and simple visual style, so that big scale combat isn't too confusing

I don't think this has been posted

I think if they put more regular updates on the Kickstarter e.g. had the entire $100 package in one easy to view poster they would be getting more cash. But I think this is often the lull period for KS projects.

A lot of people hold off until the last moment before stumping up cash just to see what they might get.

Exactly what I'm doing. I'm already going to be giving $100, I just want to know what I'm getting for my money via the reached strech goals and game interviews/video's (like the one above)

Following the #7 Update last night, there's now a $90 Digital only tier for those that want the extra Commanders and stuff but not have the hassle of receiving the physical bits and bobs

Currently up to ~$1,222,700.
Come on metal planetoids!

 

[Squark]

Looks like it might be nudging $1,250,000 by the end of the day

Still needs more!

 

[Tute]

Argh, I want to back this so bad but i'm absolutely broke!

*starts searching down the sides of armchairs for loose change*

 

[Squark]

Find $20 somewhere!

Just hit 28,000 backers

Good luck for searching for some dollar$

The units and gfx remind me of TA

 

[MBennett]

I like the new $90 tier - that was what I was waiting for, going pledge later!

I want this mode!

All RTS fans need to support this game

 

[Evilsod]

That makes it sound very similar to the Gratuitous Space Battles SP game.

Tempted to chip in $90 for this. Looks pretty awesome.

Just a shame it needs $500K in 7 days for that, I don't think it will make it

Things tend to speed up in the last few days of the campaign so you never know.

 

[Bleek]

Here's a question, if this game were to have gone the traditional route of investment how realistic would the figures be in other words would they have expected to secure less/more/similar?
