WinterfuryZX Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 we still need around 2.5k per day to arrive to the last spike with 45k usd remaining. The situation is slightly better but still not nice at all.... Quote
Satsuki Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I'm still trying to figure out how come a shikishi would cost me $4000-6000.... And almost $800 for a signed copy of the game...(the fanbook stretch goal seems pretty hopeless, so I won't count it in here). kingdomcome 1 Quote
WinterfuryZX Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Kickstarter is not a shop, it's only a reward for major funders, like the 10k usd dinners of some KS. Quote
Deep Blue Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Well I just backed it but i'm not sure if it's going to make it (sadly im pretty sure it wont...) Quote

Hey, you were the one who tried to reassure me that it was going to make it... There's still that "big news" which should come with a PS Vita announcement, hopefully that can save this... Quote

I know and at some point i was sure it was going to make it but things didnt go too well for this campaign... it had the potential for a lot more :/ is not even close to reach what narcissu did and narcissu is not a vn for everyone also is really reaaaaally short, so yeah this didnt fail because the game doesnt appeal to the players. SP should really re evaluate a lot of things and re-lunch the campaign because I bealive they still can fund this game easily if they do things properly EDIT: there is still some time left so who knows, let's hope for the best.

Basileus777 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Vita is pretty much the only hope left for this. Hopefully it won't be a stretch goal. Quote
Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Welp, I will sit this one out. Don't really feel like backing, even though I'm pretty interested in this game. Quote
LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Is "best untranslated visual novel to get an official localization thus far" not enough for some people? Quote
Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Have it ever crossed your mind that it may be "best" for you but "worst" for some other people? (not me though) Quote
LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I knew you'd pull out that argument. Sigh... whatever. I'm just really frustrated, sorry. Quote
Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I do think this is a good vn (not "best" in my list, but should be somewhere around 8/10), but imo, I just think that they are doing a pretty bad job with KS and reward tiers on this one. That may be one of the reason why this KS is struggling so much, even though it should have been funded, like, in the first two weeks, optimistically speaking. That's why I don't really want to back it. There is also another reason, since I just backed Libra, and I will be moving to another city soon, and the shipping fees for my mountain of anime goods are killing me, so I have to restrain myself from using money recklessly Quote
LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I don't think you can judge it to be "somewhere around 8/10" for you when you only know background information about the story, but okay... Regarding tiers, I don't think it's all SP's fault; I mean, what they have to work with is what they have to work with, so yeah. PR/marketing though, yeah that's probably more of SP's problem. Quote
Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Nah, I played about, 1/3, or 1/2, I don't know, of the common route (Japanese ver), so I can kind of tell how good the game is. Don't know about heroine routes though. Quote

Don't know about heroine routes though. Wait what, there is no "common route" in Root Double... and no heroine routes either. If you mean you just played 1/3 or 1/2 of Root A, then I don't think that's nearly enough to judge the overall quality. Quote
Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Don't ask me, I haven't done with the game yet, so I have no idea if there is a route or not. I stalled it half-way because of...reason. I can't judge the overall quality, of course, but from what I have read, it seems to be a good game, that's it. I rated a lot of other games base on the trial too. Quote
LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Alright, sure. Fine. Let's stop this now, please. I've just been trying my best to help out Root Double's Kickstarter so I'm much more frustrated about this than all of you. Sorry. Quote
WinterfuryZX Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 It was prediCtable since the 1st day of the campaign, but not all hope is lost, it's still doing 1,5k per day. It better increase to at least 3k per day asap. Quote
LightBladeNova Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 We gotta prepare to infiltrate /r/vita. The big news should come today at 11:00 AM probably. Quote
WinterfuryZX Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I think the problem here is not the PRs but SP overall reputation. I keep reading of people that won't fund it specificAlly because it's a SP project, like..."dovac is a dick", "they have to learn to finish their ongoing projects before starting new ones" , and such...

Did people decide that just now for Root Double? This is the worst possible time for people to give up on SP... save it for some run-of-the-mill VN, not Root Double... gahhh. Quote
Satsuki Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Well, it's true that they are having like thousand PJ on their hands but only very few of them were released Quote

This is such terrible timing... Quote
