ED numbers: Just 32k to go to 2M

Don't know yet but it is a possibility. Michael has said that pledge system will shutdown, FD will make a big communication about that

They also hinted at continue to sell physical merchandise, that's probably will be outsourced to someone. Interesting is will they do their own e-shop for selling copies of ED and other possible games released independently. They got rights to self-publish RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise games from Atari Interactive. If they going to go "Real money -> CR" route, they will need some kind of shop, but due of interactivity it could be different interface all together.

Damn, I am a sucker for T-Shirts

I haven't been in the past but I am prepared to make an exception this time. Perhaps something official for the launch party?

Subtle Tee Shirts I'm in favour for. Ones that you can wear without people constantly asking "whats that?".

Was wondering. I hope to see some vids alright. And we will see many people report around here I am sure. We can check the likes.

I wonder if kickstarter has any features for users to display a graph of pledges.

Of course the data ends at the end of the kickstarter period though.

Would be interesting to see the graph of post kickstarter funding though.

Do you mean 'subtle' in the sense that

1) it is difficult to tell whether you are wearing a t-shirt or if it is just your own body hair, or
2) it gives a bonus to your stalking and hiding skills, or
3) it subtly persuades other people to your point of view, or
4) some other option, please explain?



Nah, I also like any decorations in my t-shirts to be subtle - well, except when it is the famous "three wolf moon shirt". You cannot go subtle with that one!

I think the difference between Elite and the giant Star Citizen out there is that SC does weekly or more often updates to their website.

This in turn generates a massive amount of funding and there isn't so quick a turnaround with the FD lot.

I'm sure if more regular updates were forthcoming, more funding would come their way.

I guess you can go overboard too, which looks moneygrabbing, but more updates are always welcomed.
