Sure, underdog (Pun intended)

More like being positive without boasting or gloating. Why are you always so negative? I remember you from my love thread.

Short version: I want this to succeed, but I see $26,404 and get disappointed

It's still a lot of time left. And it's yet to explode over the internet (If it well, that is)

Have you guys tried reaching out to Taleworlds at all for an endorsement? Might make you both look good. They can say how it feels good to inspire new generation of devs starting with their initial Turkish horse archer demo dreams, you can thank them for the chance to make all this happen and how Warband has been the source of not just cRPG but many people's modding efforts and talents as a positive example of PC gaming. Kiss the ring if you will. Frenemy them. They probably at least have some real good advice dev2dev man2man for the M:BG team if not even making it public at all.

You guys are future competitors but they can be like the grand statesmen in this emerging genre of "good medieval combat games" by independent developers. Maybe network it up some with talent and PR.

You wanna get some people interested you should have a playable proof of concept even just a duel server or something. Where people can use chat and practice against bots or each other with pre-loaded gear and stuff. Get people to download and play the game in any way even if its buggy and half done but somehow "fun" they will prob think hey I might as well buy it now I already wasted the gigs. You got this shit set up with early investors who can gleek about little things with the combat and they all sound positive. Prob not remotely polished for a wider look but you know it'd be something real. So people don't think you are scamming them with CG pre-rendered shit.

Even just an engine demo. You guys sound proud of the engine, hope you find a way to demonstrate it to sell the game. That isn't youtube.

Took the letters out of my fingers.  Time for a test run already, enough HYPE

Did anyone think about Steam Greenlight ?

Last time since since steam greenlighted titles was 3 months ago.

You want to have a real media-savvy event invite streamers and journalists and crap to a big ass server like primetime announced on kickstarter page a twitch.tv stream to watch the devs build a stronghold castle with devs or pre-screened players like from cRPG dick around in it and fight a little. Let the devs sound relaxed and joke while actually playing the game. Still not sure how unfinished all your shit is but no one will care about half done animations and still being redesigned combat if its all running on your engine good and Stronghold can be seen all dynamic in real time.

If you can mange to get some enthusiastic cRPG community supporters on a server with you guys for like a guided sample round of Stronghold it would be really cool. And do the twitch thing with chadz and jacko or whatever's faces up on their streams and have one shooting a crossbow the other managing the castle walls and have some oafish looking dev using a mallet flinging ppl off the top of a ladder like we all love from cRPG siege modes and be natural having fun playing instead of aggressively selling and pitching shit.

No idea what your guys future plans are or anything with the campaign but that's my idea of the day I guess haha.

Surprise is demo?  Hopes too high?  Probably shouldn't get them up
