Basileus777 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 It's not going to just barely make it. It'll do over 145k at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxel Posted February 1, 2016 Share 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.

Decay Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share 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.

People will only increase their pledge if they're somewhat near the stretch goal, which the Kickstarter is far from it at the moment.

LightBladeNova Posted February 2, 2016 Share 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.

Satsuki Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It would be 180k by now if you listened from the start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funyarinpa Posted February 2, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBladeNova Posted February 2, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBladeNova Posted February 2, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the Barber Posted February 2, 2016 Share 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.

WinterfuryZX Posted February 2, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosRaven Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Great! The Kickstarter finally made it. Even if I was confident, you never know... With over 40 hours to go, even some stretch goals might be reached. Very happy! DavidB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douggle Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It made it, hopefully though SP learns some lessons from this kickstarter, as much as I dislike Sekai Project, I will admit they handled their past campaigns much better, at the end I was seeing backers scrambling around desperate to get this game some press. That isn't something a backer should have to do. Marcus and Kawasumi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sekai Project really does need to learn from this Kickstarter or else more of their Kickstarters are gonna go badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yup, we've past the goal. Now just need a few dozen (37 to be exact) people to hop on the Thunderclap and maybe we can hit some of the stretch goals. I can't thank the Fuwa community enough. You've all been super helpful and awesome! http://thndr.me/T7lwJD Deep Blue, Dergonu, Mr Poltroon and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
