Carmageddon: Reincarnation Kickstarter

[Ironpole]

Ik vind het spijtig dat de pledge voor een fysieke versie zo hoog ligt. 150 is mij te veel, en kleine 100 had ik nog durven pledgen. Nu is het 15 geworden.

Das wel waar. In de doos van Carmageddon 2 zat nog een poster (die ik nog altijd hangen heb ) en de CD was te gebruiken als een muziek CD. Zalige tijden. Dan koop ik hem liever als hij uit is én ook terug deftig de sfeer van den 2 teruggeeft.

[CurrY]

Mja das zo hoog omda ze het dan speciaal voor die mensen moeten maken omdat de rest gewoon digitale versies zijn.

[Raanº³]

ze moeten toch nog heel veel geld in heel korte tijd zien binnen te halen? of zie ik dat nu verkeerd?

Dit zie je inderdaad verkeerd.
De volgende website geeft de Statistieken weer over dit project. Het is normaal dat het afzwakt nu de eerste hype-wave achter de rug is. Ze hebben 200k opgehaald in de eerste 3 dagen .

Het idee erachter is natuurlijk om stainless te 'supporten' en te tonen dat er nog 'genoeg' interesse/potentieel in de Carmageddon-franchise zit. Het achteraf kopen kan dan mogelijk wel iets "voordeliger" uitvallen voor de eindgebruiker, hiermee support je stainless veel minder. De bedoeling nu is om eerst en vooral niet voor een uitgever te moeten zorgen (= geen dingen eruit laten omdat de uitgever dit niet wilt bvb/...); de vraag is dan ook of je dit spel wel in de winkels zou kunnen terug vinden. Winkels hebben meestal ook hun eigen policies voor ze iets "willen" aan-/verkopen... Ik denk eerder dat het enkel digitaal verkocht gaat worden.

Op dit moment krijg je voor je 50$ trouwens twee digitale kopijen terug. In de winkel zou dit mogelijk 1 fysieke kopij + boekje voor 40-60euro zijn. Voor 150$ (~116,06€) krijg je op dit moment van stainless een fysieke kopij, 4 digitale kopijen, geprinte boekje, poster (+pdf versie), cardgame, Red Eagle car model, skin + accessoires, beta access en wallpaper er voor terug.

Over de sfeer hoef je niet teveel na te denken Carma 1 & 2 werden door stainless gemaakt, carma 3 door een ander bedrijf. Stainless luistert enorm naar de input van hun klanten op diens fora. Zelf zijn ze nog altijd niet vergeten wat Carma zo groot had gebracht

[Cruez]

oew ja had er niet echt een idee van hoeveel dagen het al bezig was

Bedankt voor de grondige uitleg!

Nog wat info van hun FAQ:

Will there be a non-Steam version?
We'll be using Steamworks for our online services on PC, so we require Steam. Steam is lovely!

What about Censorship?
If it's censorship by territory, then although you mustn't do anything that's illegal in your country, modding your game might provide a way to alter content that it's okay to change within the laws of your country.

It's possible that closed platforms (console) may not be as permissive, but we've got plans for slight gameplay tweakings in these circumstances that will allow the game to still be great fun.

Will there be LAN play? Online play?
Yes! We love LAN play, and we’ll make sure you can play without an internet connection. If you have intertubes, there’ll be online play too!

Will multiplayer modes from the old games return?
Absolutely. We’ll ship with a core set, and over time, more will be added. Some will feature playing as a ped!

What about mod support?
Supporting the mod community is really important to us. The game is built with mods in mind. We'll be releasing tools for the community to use (based on the ones we're using here to make the game), at the earliest opportunity.

Will you make the originals work on current hardware and available to buy?
Stay tuned!

Wat? Een nieuwe Carmageddon? Take my money! ^^ Pledged voor 15$.

Onder vrienden zijn we altijd bezig over oude games, en het idee dat altijd terug komt is: "Iemand zou eens een geupdate versie van Carmageddon moeten maken!"

Spoiler for Nieuwe kickstarter rewards, AMA update:

nobby and Sim discuss the latest Kickstarter Update. New Tiers, New Rewards, STUFF! - YouTube

DRM FREE!

That’s right you heard correctly! A downloadable DRM free version of the game! The DRM free version of the game won’t be available at the same time we launch the first release of the PC game through Steam – it will be introduced as soon as we can, afterwards. And obviously some of the stuff that comes with the Steam version won’t be supported… But you’ll be getting complete freedom to play Single Player and LAN multiplayer without the need to install Steam or be connected to the internets. We are adding it to the $15 level, so it’s the same price as the Steam download version. And if you pledge for the DRM free version, we’ll also send you the Steam code so you can still play immediately and take advantage of the Steam features, if you want.

New Rewards!
Pledge $15 OR MORE

DRM THIS!:As well as the Steam version, all $15 pledgers will be offered a DRM-free, caffeine free, gluten free, born free non-steam version of the PC game to download. This version will have no Steamworks functionality and will support single player and LAN multiplayer only. This is only currently offered for the PC platform and will not be available until completion. (Mac and Linux versions are planned, but still TBC.) Please note that the delivery date is an estimate and is subject to change.

· Easter eggs will be in the game

· Solid granite pedestrian power up

· Splatter decals on the car bodies

· There will be leaderbaords and achievements!

· Number of peds per level will vary depending on the environment, our prototype city level has 1500 for a nice level of density.

Phew! Well, I think that's about it for today... Thanks to Sim, Trifle, and Steve for helping me put this one together. And THANKS to our KICKSTARTER Backers TOO!

De nieuwe $30 tier ziet er goed uit; 2 copies van het spel en beta access.

[h0pje]

'k Had het ook gezien van die DRM free. Dat geldt toch ook voor iedereen die al voor die update 15$ gepledged heeft hé?

[Sjoepap]

als ge nu 50 dollar gepledged hebt, krijgde dan 2 of 3 digitale steam copy's?

't is dat er bij staat : extra digital copy (+ previous rewards)

en 1 van de previous rewards is al da ge voor 30 dollar 2 copy's krijgt

2+1 =3 ?

[smon]

2 copies. Die beschrijving is nog van voor de nieuwe rewards.

[?therapy?]

$25 gedaan sé

[AssassiN]

Ik wil pledgen maar ze aanvaarden alleen maar credit cards, zelf ni eens paypal .

[smon]

Why can’t I use Paypal? Why can't Kickstarter just take my credit card info?

Kickstarter uses Amazon's Flexible Payments Service, which enables our all-or-nothing funding method. No other credit card processor currently supports our requirements. We're always talking with other companies and exploring other services, so expect more options in the future.

Ik denk dat er vanaf 100% funded wel meer betalingsmogelijkheden beschikbaar worden.

Linux-support klinkt nice! Maar ik begin steeds meer en meer plaatsvervangende schaamte te krijgen met die announcement videos. :,-) Acting/speech lessons vanaf $800 000 imo.
