I'm new to Kickstarter but based on the page you linked, it says that there are 7 days remaining to pledge. Since the games are expected to be delivered next year July, why the need to stop the income almost a year in advance?

Hmm... it's certainly funny how our level of acceptance is evolving these days, especially from the perspective of a gamer. 3 years ago, I had a hard time coping with the fact that games are going digital; I don't get to touch, smell & lick the box, manual, CDs or DVDs. More & more games are turning intangible as days go by but hey, at least I'm getting a finished product, which I can play right away.

And now this. I'm literally buying or in a more appropriate word, funding a game that I don't even know for sure will be released on time... or worse, at all. But something compels me to pledge & I can't even tell for sure if it's just me sharing the passion of ~30K people (developers included) or I'm just hoping onto some random digital bandwagon, hoping that the game will materialize into something grand & awesome.

Oh well, compared to your $250, what do I stand to lose with just a measly $15?

Inb4 tl;dr.

Don't you need to add UDS15 for international shipping of those physical goodies?

Ooh... so Cheesenium has pledged for this game as well. I'm interested to know how many LYN members actually pledged along.

You mean phishing his name? Absolutely no! I saw that comment & based on the past pledges, I believe he's our very own Cheesenium.

Summoning completed!

I've to admit that I'm a total stranger when it comes to TA / Sup Com so I can't really relate to the game as well as you guys do. However, based on what you just mentioned, I'm curious as to what you meant by "some of the stuff are carried over from Super Monday Night Combat". As far as I know, MNC is a different genre but I'm assuming that you're referring to the game engine.

If (keeping fingers crossed) this project turns out to be a great success, I'm very interested to see how many game developers will opt for such a path where they're soliciting funding from interested gamers instead of going through the traditional publisher path.

What's stopping you from contributing?

Woot... welcome aboard commander!

Without taking into account the contributions received via PayPal, the Kickstarter project has come to an end, amassing a hell of an amount of USD 2,229,344 which allowed Uber to gobble up every single one of their stretch goals. The numbers in the last few days look interesting & I wonder if it applies the same for all Kickstarter projects.

A look at the progress of how Uber got richer by USD 2.2 million. The graph definitely reminded me of my secondary school mathematics class, which is a great proof that my teachers were not lying:


These graphs are a little misleading since it gives too much credit to last minute backers. There's no numbers to back this up but a portion of the funding that came in on the last 2 days are actually from those early backers that decided to up their pledge by a considerable amount, no thanks to the new announcement by Uber on their rewards:
