I'll double my pledge if others will.

I've doubled mine a few times. Get doubling, Whistler.

I'm working on a new video that'll hopefully pull in more of the Apple-oriented people. Maybe. Plus another big announcement I'm looking at pushing out in PR form.

I'm also talking to another company who makes products that can be used with VO, and they're interested in offering a general discount on their stuff as a reward, etc.

Plus potentially some "configurable" rewards and other stuff. Pulling out whatever stops that I can.

Challenge accepted. Doubleplusgood. Step up, people.

Will I name the NPC "Arolte"? "Starfreeze"? Maybe one of my many alts?

ooh sounds cool, I have doubled already!

you guys really think this will happen? Wow.

Meanwhile: How big was the influx of new players in the last few weeks?

Doubled.

Can we assume my original pladge was for half the amount, and pretend I doubled it? If I double it now, its more than a months income for me :(

But, I would if I could...

Dent.

Thanks everyone for all the support. I always have mixed feelings about these things.. it's so humbling to have you helping us, but I don't want to see people making themselves poor to do it.

Meanwhile: How big was the influx of new players in the last few weeks?

Pretty damned big. I have some entertaining graphs to post sometime after the KS.

It's like funding a new game on Kickstarter, except you can just go play the game instead because it already exists! \o/

I doubt any players would pledge more than they could comfortably afford, and VO seems to have a larger than usual share of players who are older and established in life, so I wouldn't worry on that score.

That said, the number of contributors seems to indicate you haven't really managed to reach beyond the immediate community in a significant way. There must be millions of casual kickstarter supporters with a single dollar to spend on a worthy cause. It would be nice if some of that fell this way :-)

Best of luck!

I'd rather pay another 250$ than double my actual pledge to get a second NPC to name.
Do ye think this would be possible sweethearts? : ]

Doubled.

doubled also

Quadrupled!
I'm not in four-digit territory yet, but that's all I'm pledging. I need to eat and afford gas. ;)

As stated in my other thread I have increased mine from 50 to 250

Ugh, it's like watching an early 90s progress bar creep along.

...Right before the BSOD.

wow, that's even below what I thought it'd end up with (thought 60 to 70k USD). Sad.

What helpful posts.
