Most recent KS update

[x4000]

Maybe it's time to retire the "freaking volunteers" label? Especially if they are doing a kickstarter?

Right, it was simply a way to identify who I was referring to.  Originally they were all contractors anyhow.

Just reminding you. I'm willing to work on stuff for you for free. Willing to sign an NDA or contract saying "No I won't steal your code."

I'd also be up for giving a hand where I can.  I've been a little demotivated lately, so helping Arcen would be just the thing to perk me back up.

All good.  On the Keith side of things, I try not to volunteer things to be available for him in terms of code, because that can get... interesting.   But there's plenty of GUI stuff or other secondary interactions bits that might make the quality of life for players a lot better without stepping on his toes.

Posting this just because the wording is fantastically awesome.

From Kickstarter autogenerated email:
"We're writing to let you know that AI War II - Will Be Re-Launched! (Canceled) has been canceled by the project creator."

Schrodinger's Kickstarter.

That's absolutely hilarious.

And yeah, I renamed the project near the end so that we could simply call the new one "AI War II" again and not have it be confusing in our profile and such.  So much better than "AI War II - Relaunch!" or whatever on the second one, which I've seen a lot of times.

Oh sure, I totally get it, I just had trouble parsing the email the first time because there was no special text formatting on the project name.
"Canceled (canceled) has been canceled."

Edit:
Now imagine this:
"Previously Canceled" a game about rebooting old TV shows
"Uncanceled! (previously Previously Canceled) - (Canceled) has been Canceled"

(And now my brain thinks the word "canceled" looks misspelled.)

"(Project Name) has been accidentally by the project creator."

[x4000]

"Cancelled: The project for re-un-canceling the cancellation of the speeling of the word canceled" has been canceled by the cancelling council.

I was a volunteer before I ever became a contractor.

Okay, that's true.

So I was thinking, this KS was the most AI War thing ever.

We launched in to the great unknown for the first time, started great, made some mistakes, and got thoroughly trounced in the end.  We learned a lot, had some fun and are foaming at the mouth to try again!  OK, maybe not foaming at the mouth, but ready to go again.

I mean, we even got the game over screen.

We're writing to let you know that AI War II - Will Be Re-Launched! (Canceled) has been canceled by the project creator.

I know, right?

God. We are such nerds.

Tried DF but I just couldn't.  So no, not a DF player.
