VirginSmasher Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Everybody knows that we only get fresh air is when we open our front door...to pick up our package for our anime figurines. Also, congrats on improving the Kickstarter. It looks like it's gonna make it now. Can't wait to play it when it comes out, if it comes out. Quote
grim_tales1 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 It looks as if the total is stalling again Quote

There's 4 entire days left. It's 15k away, it'll do that in the last 24 hours alone. RikiSanic 1 Quote
WinterfuryZX Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I calculated 45k in the last 2-3 days, let's see if my estimate is realistic. Quote

Satsuki Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 My guess is that they will just barely reach the goal. RIP fanbook Quote

RIP fanbook Even if it barely makes it, it still made it. A lot of us thought this Kickstarter would never even get near the funding goal. DavidB 1 Quote
Basileus777 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 It's not going to just barely make it. It'll do over 145k at this point. Quote
Maxel Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 TIL: Steam takes over 30% from the sales... I always thought it was like 10-20%, well played Gaben. Having monopoly is never a good thing... That might explain why Clannad is so expensive. If Root Double would be put on Steam for 30$(KS price), the profit would be only 20$, which is 2420 yen(cheap as ... for a VN this quality and length) KS purely profit the devs and pubs. Quote
Decay Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 30% is a perfectly ordinary cut, the other digital distribution services take the same, and you used to see a way lower percentage of sales when selling physical copies on retail shelves. 30% is also roughly what you see for digital sales of other media.

It would be awesome if it reached 180k, but lets face it .. That is kind of a stretch. But, you never know. Hopefully all the lazy people who clicked "remind me" will be jumping on and start pledging soon, when it reaches the last 48 hours. DavidB 1 Quote

People will only increase their pledge if they're somewhat near the stretch goal, which the Kickstarter is far from it at the moment. Quote
LightBladeNova Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 A little less than $8000 to go~ Also, all you Root Double backers, don't forget to support the Thunderclap thing if you haven't already, so the KS gets sent to all the supporting people's friends and followers.

And who knows...with a day to go after a successful Thunderclap we may drive home some of those stretch goals. Stay optimistic. Please share the link wherever you can! http://thndr.me/T7lwJD Thanks yet again for all the awesome support and for the Thunderclap idea. Seeeeeee, we listen. LightBladeNova 1 Quote
Satsuki Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 It would be 180k by now if you listened from the start Quote
Funyarinpa Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I'll be perfectly content with just seeing it get funded, which I am sure will happen. Will wait for Vita to play it though. That's March 2017, isn't it? Quote

LightBladeNova Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Latest update is $40 for early-bird Vita only and $50 for regular Vita only. I hope this won't backfire or anything... Quote
LightBladeNova Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I'm still highly confident Root Double will make it, but I don't know if they'd make more money with or without the latest update... I feel like they'd make more without it /: I just don't want to see the $99/$140 backers downpledging to $40/$50. Then again, I never understood why people would go for *just* the Vita and be willing to wait a year to play this VN, when they can read it in 2 months on PC. kingdomcome 1 Quote
Fred the Barber Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Given how Clannad went, I won't be surprised at all if in 4 months (or whatever) we see another flood of "WTF, I paid them $50, the game came out, and I have to wait another year to play it? Where's my Steam key?!". Granted, granted, things are a little different this time: it's at least clear already that there's going to be a huge time gap. But... well, I guess we'll see. Quote
WinterfuryZX Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I'm waiting for the kickstarter to reach the base goal with a botte o fine wine (barbaresco) ready to be opened. not exactly the best wine for this but that's the best I had at my disposal DavidB 1 Quote
