MACHINE OF DEATH GAME (kickstarter campaign over)

Previous Calica · 2013-02-19 09:03:22

Yeah, definitely backing this at some level.

Justice4243 · 2013-02-19 13:40:07

$35,000 = ACHIEVED! We commission a set of exclusive bonus game cards – that everybody gets for free – from KC Green!
$40,000 = ACHIEVED! The game box and rulebook are both upgraded to full color, rather than a black & white interior (for the book) and a black & white back (the box)!
$45,000 = ACHIEVED! The game comes with, rather than a standard die, a custom skull die, like the one in the video!
$50,000 = ACHIEVED! We commission a set of exclusive bonus game cards – that everybody gets for free – from Jeph Jacques!
$55,000 = ACHIEVED! We release a second story from THIS IS HOW YOU DIE for you to read for free!
$60,000 = ACHIEVED! We commission a set of exclusive bonus game cards from Jess Fink!
$65,000 = ACHIEVED! We print the game box with stamped silver foil so it looks SUPER SNAZZY!!
$70,000 = ACHIEVED! We commission a set of exclusive bonus game cards from Anthony Clark!
$75,000 = ACHIEVED! Ryan, Kris and I create a MEGASET ofWondermark, Dinosaur Comics, and Broodhollow exclusive game bonus cards!

Justice4243 · 2013-02-19 13:40:49

I think I need to go in at the level that equates to physical copy of the game.

Yes.

NEED.

Justice4243 · 2013-02-19 13:46:54

Went in at $25 and also moved to games section

Justice4243 · 2013-02-19 18:38:58

I upped it by $5.

I want the book, too. :3

RocketRunner · 2013-02-19 22:17:55

I should probably show this to my local nerd herd...

Justice4243 · 2013-02-20 12:55:53

$100,000 = ACHIEVED! We design a second, matching game box to hold all the expansion cards!
$120,000 = We commission new expansion content from Aaron Diaz!
$135,000 = We commission new expansion content from Justin Pierce!
$150,000 = We release a fourth story from THIS IS HOW YOU DIE!
$165,000 = We commission new expansion content from Christopher Hastings!

It keeps getting better!

This is going to be the best card game ever at this point.

Sounds like I might have to up my contribution to get the second box, but not by much.

Justice4243 · 2013-02-20 13:17:59

$108,664

Buy more games, people! Christopher Hasting was BORN to make cards for this game.

Previous Calica · 2013-02-20 23:47:58

Just pledged 25bux.

Justice4243 · 2013-02-21 11:10:14

And I upped my pledge considerably...

The expansion set is pricey.

Justice4243 · 2013-02-23 12:24:12

$200,000 = We create a MACHINE OF DEATH ARTBOOK featuring all the art from both volumes of the book series, including statements from any of the artists and story authors who want to participate. This book is made available via PDF to everybody, and a physical copy is sent free to every backer pledging above $35.
$214,365 = ???
$220,000 = We commission new expansion content from Meredith Gran!
$222,222 = ???
$250,000 = We commission new expansion content from Phil Foglio!

Justice4243 · 2013-02-24 03:37:49

$300,000 = We commission new expansion content from Andrew Hussie!

$300,000 = We commission new expansion content from Andrew fucking Hussie!

Justice4243 · 2013-02-24 03:39:07

Once the Homestucks catch word the game will be touched by the hands of Hussie, money is going to flood in, mark my words.

Previous Calica · 2013-02-24 17:20:01

Yeah. Hopefully Andrew will link it on the MSPA homepage.

If things get up to 200k and the artbook, I'll probably have to up my pledge to get that.

Justice4243 · 2013-02-24 18:22:42

Mine is already high enough, but it's good incentive.

It's a freebie if you order $10 worth of stuff, so I foresee a lot more books, posters, and t-shirts being sold at that point.

Previous Calica · 2013-02-24 18:27:24

Yeah, I'll probably go to the $40 level once it's in range.

Previous Calica · 2013-02-25 01:06:51

...the latest update. I am drooling. I might have to bump my contribution to 125 to get that box.

Justice4243 · 2013-02-25 01:11:50

I considered it before...haven't actually watched the video yet, though.

Justice4243 · 2013-02-25 01:13:57

Sweet, looks like more cards are going to be added at no extra cost if you already are getting the delux or sidecar.

Previous Calica · 2013-02-27 05:12:35

We're now a few hundred away from "FATE BLITZ", whatever that is.

Previous Calica · 2013-03-07 02:31:39

And we've hit both ???? money goals, as well as the 5000 backers ???? goal.

Justice4243 · 2013-03-07 12:51:23

Only $11,000 more to go until Hussie is involved. :3

Previous Calica · 2013-03-07 16:03:14

Now it's about eight thousand seventy-five hundred five thousand. I wonder who all will be in the final webcomics pals megatier(which will contain either four or seven artists depending on whether Malki !, Straub, and North count); I kind of hope it's Tom Siddell.

Also, I upgraded myself to SIDECAR.

Justice4243 · 2013-03-07 22:56:52

Less than $4,000.

Siddell would be cool. I'm also hoping for Penny Arcade.

It's kind of hard to out do Hussie at this point.

Previous Calica · 2013-03-08 01:28:14

Less than two thousand 1500 USD

Previous Calica · 2013-03-08 03:41:14

holy crap less than a hundred

Previous Calica · 2013-03-08 04:01:32

AND IT'S OVER THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND, BOYS.

Andrew Hussie is now officially making cards for this thing.

Justice4243 · 2013-03-09 22:57:31

The final tier of web-comic people has been revealed.

Not gonna lie, despite a few names I'm happy to see, it's kinda a let down after the likes of Hussie and Foglio are involved.

Justice4243 · 2013-03-17 20:04:29

$450,000 = PROJECT IS CANCELLED
$450,100 = Project's back on

Previous Calica · 2013-03-18 01:14:31

Ha, I remember him discussing that stretch goal with Diaz. I kind of doubt it'll happen though.

Justice4243 · 2013-03-18 01:33:26

We pretty much hit all the good stuff, already.

I'm not desperate for the rules in song form.

Previous Calica · 2013-03-18 02:21:09

23:20:15 < malki> [2d] unofficial backer tier: if you pledge $111.11 your copy of the game will come in a yogurt tub that I have eaten the yogurt from + washed

Previous Calica · 2013-03-18 22:06:53

24 hours left and now there's a chance it'll hit half a million as the last-minute surge rolls in. The Creative Commons thing would be pretty neat, I guess, although I'm not sure there's as much remix potential with the game as with the stories.

Previous Calica · 2013-03-19 12:55:34

And overnight it hit half a million.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-03-19 13:31:49

doesn't most of Andrew Hussie's artwork look like

Looks like it'll be $556571.

EDIT: looks like there were last-minute ones that weren't added in real time.

Previous Calica · 2013-03-19 23:07:13

Things I didn't notice until just now:

$525,000 = YES! We do NOT ship all games with a curse upon them!

Previous Calica · 2013-04-15 10:32:13

I playtested the game. It was fun.

Justice4243 · 2013-07-29 00:03:47

I'm sorry to report that Phil Foglio ended up being unable to contribute cards to the game, so we filled his spot instead with Andrew Hussie "Sweet Bro & Hella Jeff" cards. Hopefully that is an okay replacement! Lots of people get those two confused anyway.

Wow...

Someone needs to setup a whole new wing at the burn ward.
