The Kickstarter has begun! Pledge now and spread the word!

Why would you post the same stuff everywhere? In kickstarter page, in youtube videos, etc.
What is in it for you to do so?

This guy has serious issues. His post is full of bullshit accusations and stupid assumptions.
There is no point in even argueing, he seems full of hate.

So wait? The guy who says he does not care actually cares enough to actively go around every possible medium to pour his negative opinions in? Dude… That’s some serious sabotage there. The question is: why?

Anyone who says the game is vaporware, or has been in development for too long is an idiot.

Remind them of the fact that throughout all of the time that Infinity has been in development, Flavion has always refused to accept donations or launch a Kickstarter because he didn’t want to take people’s money and then fail to deliver. Because he knows how hard software development is, because he’s a highly experienced professional.

Infinity has only just now asked for money for the first time ever becuase they have realistic goals and they are confident that they can deliver what they promise.

That’s an attitude that should be applauded by Kickstarter and backers. Because there are plenty of Kickstarter projects that have taken people’s money and then thrown their hands up and said they can’t handle it when they realise how how hard a large-scale software development project really is, and those poeple have damaged the reputation of Kickstarter and crowd-funding as a whole.

Considering the amount of effort that has repeatedly gone into his “I don’t care” posts, you can tell he’s a liar with a hint of obsession. Just ignore him.

Thankfully, forum tantrums are much easier to ignore than real life tantrums.

460 upvotes thus far. Maybe I:B will reach the frontpage after all…

Nice! We had a thread on /r/gaming at the start of the kickstarter but that thread only got like 8 upvotes or something, nice to see that this one took off.

Nice, looks like it is on the way to the top.
I watched the imgur visits for a while, this post delivered thousands of views to the imgur album and the kickstarter is active again. Nice job!

Awesome! With the numbers now its likely staying a day on the frontpage and the imgur album probably will get 250k to 1m hits. Lets hope the conversion rate picks up!

Just to follow-up my earlier post… Kicktraq shows Infinity doing better than I feared, but with daily pledges averaging at maybe $5.5k (ignore what Kicktraq says), it seems it’s only going to barely reach the $300k required. (We can hope for a surge of pledges in the last few days or more, as often happens with Kickstarters, but that isn’t guaranteed.)

With Infinity at the midway point of the Kickstarter (traditionally a low point), I think something big is needed to help push moment. You don’t want to leave it too late, as news takes time to spread.

Kicktraq ‘days’ aren’t correct. For accurate daily stats check out my daily posts in the Kickstarter Milestone and Excited Keyboard Bashing Thread.

On Kicktraq ignore the trend, just look at the prediction tab: https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/309114309/infinity-battlescape/#chart-exp-projection

As someone who’s followed a whole bunch of kickstarters, both astoundingly successful and miserable failures, the panic going about at the moment is pretty funny.

The experimental Projection tab (not “prediction”!) shows about what I was predicting manually in my previous post - that at current rates it will just about reach minimum funding levels ($300k). I stand by my post. Not sure what is supposed to be wrong with “Kicktraq ‘days’”.

Who’s panicking? Not me :slight_smile:
