Pledges left...

Project GODUS got 200k in the last 4 days, it is possible. 
at 12 noon GMT there's £1,049,849 pledged.. thats £20151 left over 5 1/2 days. that's £36.391 per day to pledge. or £152.70 per hour. or £2.55 per minute to pledge to make our goal.
(how sad is that?)
Mmmm. I was disappointed when I checked first time today to see that it's barely crept over £1,050,000 - slightly less than £200,000 needed. The last few days it was flying along, but now it seems to have come to a halt again. The sort of video we need is one that shows trading and mining, not talks about it - show the game Frontier, don't just talk about it!
They can't show the game, simply because they don't really have one yet. Thats why the teaser they released was just a mash up of stuff we had already seen before. They haven't actually got any game mechanics up and running so I'm afraid all the updates we get are gonna be concepts rather than actual gameplay footage.
Think the original ks video has the game (what there is of it) running in the background behind DB.
I still think that the fund will make it but it will be a close run thing most likely.

Another update is due today according to Michael B's comments yesterday.
Lets hope it's something to get the pledges rolling.
Concept art. Not exactly what is needed at this stage. I know the game isn't anywhere near alpha stage yet, but there is clearly some sort of build available, so stick the footage of that in a dev diary - not in the background but make it the focus of the video, unless it is truly terrible.

I suspect we will be getting another video update soon, maybe the guys at frontier are still on holiday (I know I am) or are still recovering
(I know I am).I would love to see more teasers videos to be released.
I find when people say "we need everyone to up their pledge by X" to be misleading:
- Some people wont upgrade from the £20 tier no matter what you say or do.
- Some people either pledged their maximum to begin anyway
- Some are at the KS maximum already and can't pledge more.
It's also misleading to give averages per hour / day as the average does not matter - it's the final amount that counts ... As with most KS campaigns there is a kick at the end as lurkers pledge (they get the 24 hours notice email, see how the campaign is doing, watch the updates THEN pledge) whilst others up theirs to help boost.
We simply need around £190K and I believe we can do this in the time remaining.

Don't forget there will be a few tens of thousands paid directly to Frontier Developments via Paypal...
Someone mentioned that the amount paid through paypal was actually very small.

That might be true but it doesn't help KS I am afraid - completely independent systems
I went to £100 the other day, which is the most I should sensibly do.
And that's awesome - £100 less needed for the goal
(It all counts - from £1 to £5K)
Whatever it is it can go towards the game's development. If others are right and we get a big surge at the end, I'm sure we'll make it no problem. If we carry on at this rate it'll be bum-clenchingly close!
I'm actually very confident we will make it now, much more than I was a week or so ago.
Yep. The last couple of days or so have been a big help; seems the KS has kept going overnight now, whereas before it came to a grinding halt once the UK went to bed.
