Hi all,
22 videos is going to take forever.
Where did you get the idea that I'm going to do 22 videos? I said that I'm going to 'continue work on a bunch of videos I'd like to release during the Kickstarter'. In the last six or seven days, I've already finished making two videos, including the one about character classes. Those extra videos are nothing like game trailers in terms of complexity. They are quicker, easier and more fun to make.
You have a complete game for almost a half year now Pierre. This is madness!
That is irrelevant to me. I will launch the KS when I'm ready to do so, not because x months have passed since I finished coding for KotC 2, and not because anyone says that it's unreasonable for me to wait. Thank you for your patience.
He only gets to roll out his game once. He's put years into it. The impatient few are less significant than the masses who have no idea the game is even on the way, and the more complete the roll-out, the more successful we can expect the game to be. That means more content. Let's just chill.
Absolutely!
he's also making hard core fans as us feel a little cheated, because the game has been ready for ages and the KS never starts.
My apologies to all hard-core fans who feel a little cheated. However, there are a few things I want to highlight.
Firstly, this KS is not going to be launched before I've joined Steam - or before I've found out that I cannot join Steam, if that happens to be the case. The whole reason for me to make the KotC 1 trailer before the KS is launched, is so that I could have a proper launch on Steam. Therefore, the idea that I would launch my KS before I get onto Steam is absurd! Further, getting on Steam is a process that also takes time. I asked them some questions on the 23rd; I am still waiting for the answer. Once I finish the initial process (which I won't do before I get the reply to my questions), it seems that they also take 30 days to review everything before allowing you to launch a game.
Secondly, you are right to say that it's Pierre's game, but actually... it's not just Pierre's game. It's Pierre's life we're talking about here, not just his game. What is a Kickstarter, if not a person or team making a number of promises and commitments that then impact the person's life? Again, apologies if anyone feels cheated, it has never been my intention to cheat anyone. Please understand that launching a KS is not a trifle thing for the project developer. It should be done when the person is ready and not one minute earlier.
