When is the Kickstarter?

[pindleton]

Hi all. This is my first post here. I just recently learned about the game and am interested in seeing the project come to life. I'd like to find out when/if this project is going to have a Kickstarter. Thanks!

[Anaximander]

Still to be announced.

Nothing yet, but rumored to start at the end of this year, or beginning of 2017.

I haven't seen anything that says 2017, I've seen plenty of mentions of Q4 2016 though. 

 

My personal guess is October or November.

my guess is we might possibly maybe know more after gamecon lol

A Kickstarter campain doesn't have to provide an immediate access to playable-alpha.

I can see them doing a KS starting in September, and opening alpha access Q1 2017.

It might be really nice to code a crowd funding option into the organisation structures so we can have in game crowd funding of big organisation projects. An option to draw on non members via the market system for big projects could also be a useful tool for colony infrastructure and recruitment. Takes some workload off the GM's too. I would count as part of the player run government system. Once funded there is a lot of hiring: player generated quests.

So does this game need a successful Kickstarter to proceed or is there other corporate funding / investment to develop this game?

Does it depend on a successful kickstarter?

You miss the point of kickstarters

 

They are to assess interest in the game so the company can show investors there is interest in the game.

I'll be donating, especially if it means I get to access the Alpha, I can't wait to get in there and start building cities ready for launch.

[Volkier]

I'd be donating. Regardless of access or anything. I believe in this project. And hey, everyone needs something to believe in right? 

 

Gezus fucken christ, that sounds so cliche. Forget I've said anything - just take my frigging money. 

 

Also speaking of money - <insert shameless self promotion> if anyone needs a horse broken in or re trained, I need the work. Don't ask me why I've posted this on a public gaming forum - seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hope we get ample warning to the start of kick starter cause I want in on day one : )

 

 

And please include like a alpha tester tier or whatever gets into the verse the soonest. I wanna start building

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but all signs point to the kickstarter being announced during PAX West, which is next month Sep 2 - 5. I don't think this is when it will start however, but for certain they will be announcing it.

September 2nd they're announcing the kickstarter date
