Planetary Annihilation: Total Annihilation IN SPACE

[Lancefighter]

I had literally nothing to add to the thread, and wanted to tag it so it showed up on my 'new replies to your posts'.

[Bossman]

You know, I was wondering how a dinky little asteroid with engines was going to annihilate an entire galaxy if the funding hits $1.8 mil. Except now I know it won't be an asteroid.

It will be John Comes's big head. And it will most likely be awesome.

They need to announce Stretch Goal 5 ASAP if they want to get people interested enough in it to start throwing their money at the computer screen.

[RCIX]

My theory is that the final stretch goal is at like 1.9m and they'll use it as one last turbo boost to speed past Galactic Annihilation.

I would up my pledge further, but having my name on a planet isn't appealing and the 250 goal is probably too much to spend on one game =p (And I really want the 1k tier, lol)

The graphic's updated to include a face that is very interested in chowing down on the galactic wars. All it needs is the money to do so.

I really wish I had the finances to support this, but I just did my budget for the month and its a no-can-do for me. That depresses me. Stupid college.

Oh well, guess I'll get a chance to get this sucker when it comes out in all its glory later on.

Forego food for a day!

Yeah, I don't pay $20 a day for food. I pay $60 a month for food.

Oh, I see - you want something in return for your support! If you just wanted to support it, you could still forego food for a day and just chuck $2 their way! Every little helps 

Or just forego food for ten non-consecutive days. Or skip a meal a day every day for a month. Job done!

Why did I have to screw up and pay the rent twice this month?

So that planetary annihilation thing. I mostly have been ignoring it, because I didn't expect the whole naval battles thing to happen. And now they are trying to infringe upon ai war's theory of galaxy conquest?

I am disappoint.

It's Real-time, and it's strategy.  Oh, and there's space involved somewhere.

That's about the extent of the similarity with AIW

You FOOLS! Planetary Annihilation and AI War both have UI.. WoW has UI too and was made BEFORE AI War and PA. Thus AI War and PA are WoW copies.

[Mánagarmr]

And WoW is a copy of TA, because TA was clearly before WoW! You're all noobs!

They need to announce Stretch Goal 5 ASAP if they want to get people interested enough in it to start throwing their money at the computer screen.

They have been curiously slow about some updates, and I'm not sure why as I imagine if they, say, doubled or tripled their update frequency (by doing one whenever a goal is met, and whenever a goal is announced, and whenever a midpoint is reached, or something like that) they would probably bump up total pledges by a good 10% or 20% just through increased exposure and so on.

Perhaps the 1.8M stretch goal is the last thing they really want to add to the project.  Particularly considering their target release window.

As it stands, it looks probable they will hit 1.8M on Thursday.  Of course, there's normally a fairly big rush at the end of a high-profile KS, and if they want to capitalize on that they'll need a fairly interesting stretch goal #5, since #4 will basically be in the bag there.

Very interesting stuff.

Final update released:

2 mil dollars - Full Orchestral Score.

2.1 mil - Documentary about the game.

That's it?

This is from someone who has bought a dozen OSTs...its great, but not something I'd want for a reward that is double the original game reward, and certainly not worth more then galactic conquest which is awesome.

[LaughingThesaurus]

I didn't see that stuff on the kickstarter page. Where was that announced?

[keith.lamothe]

The 2M goal is to have the music done by recording live performers.  Specifically, the same group that was used to record Total Annihilation's score.

TA's music, particularly for the battles, was incredible.

So I'm actually really hoping they hit that goal.  It's feasible, given the pattern of last-day pledge spikes on kickstarters.

The main PA project page doesn't seem to have been updated with the new stretch goals, but they do have the update up: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/planetary-annihilation-a-next-generation-rts/posts/306545

Oh, thanks. I was just looking in the wrong place.
I haven't used kickstarter much. Didn't notice the multiple 'tabs'
