New $150 Tier

I AM THE FIRST $150 backer.

God damn it Uber.

Polynomial prime is under attack!

50 seems a touch steep for just planet naming, but then the next tier that really interests me is only the 1k tier

Also, anyone notice a burst in funds as soon as they put that update out?

God damnit I knew you sons of bitches would find a way to squeeze more than $100 out of me. Well played.

You have nothing to complain about! xD

Think about how we 1K and up backers feel! xD

Mike

We were pretty happy with the tiers we had but this is what people have been asking for. Many people wanted the alpha stuff without the physical goods. A bunch of others didn't want to go to $250 but wanted a good reason to increase.

You're not kidding, 3k in about 10mins

**** it. I'm in.

BOOST ME UP TO $165. (Still need to add $15 for international shipping, yeah?)

Would neutrino care to elaborate on this reward? The way I currently understand it:

This tier gets 100 backers. -> there exist exactly 100 different planet names. Every planet generated must have one of these names.

Is this correct?

How about other cool stuff, like:
- Compound names
- A basic set of names, created by uber (surely there will be the planet Mavor etc)
- Allowing the user to choose what sort of planet their name predominantly represents. eg: Hi, my name is Bob, and if you encounter an ocean planet, there is a good chance it's name will be Bob too. (My name isn't Bob btw)

Anyway, love fresh excuses to sink money into this project.

The names will be used as a base but combined and spun in different ways.

The link to the new update on the main page of the kickstarter appears to be broken? It links to "new reward tiers and t-shirt designs" as the url on my computer. Easy to get around, but might confuse some people.

Pretty cool. That was a huge gap between 100 and 250, was wondering why it was left like that. I'd say have a 200 also, but I don't know what you'd put in there. But I guess once you start going in for hundreds, a couple more doesn't seem all that bad?

Edit: Hehe, I see early-bird spots freeing up.
Edit2: Alright, I see the link is fixed now. Hope this adds up to a good bit more money!

I think you're crazy for dropping $1000! =P

Bumped it to 150.

So you will get a random planet named after you? Would there be any way to have a specific type of planet (I'd love a water planet named after me cuz I love navies) or is that too complicated for what you had in mind?

I want to throw money at this game... but at the same time I am trying to be reasonable about it (yes, im looking at you 1k tier...). Gah...

How many shirts do I get at the $500 backer level? I want all 3

Actually a good question, what about the 1K level?

Mike

If you add the +$30 for extra shirts, does the +$15 to shipping need to scale up at any point?
Considering adding for the full three shirts, and want to know if I need to add $60 or more.

Is your name Rip Foster? Because you're about to Ride the Gray Planet! Enjoy your stay on Ravus Vulpis.

I wonder who snagged my $95 early bird spot?

ok, you convinved me to go up to the 165 level.. bought it at 15.00, jumped to 50, up to 150... next up. 1000? (would LOVE a steampunk commander!)

So if you want a shirt you have to pledge a minimum of $100+ and from that it's an additional $30 per shirt. Correct?

So very tempting...

These rules re: vulgarity how strict are they? :twisted:
How about a counterpart to Uranus, a planet unfairly mocked, named Myanus (or variations on the theme)?

Yes, I'm feeling particularly immature today...

We're going to ask for a primary and an alternate. If both are unacceptable we'll probably email you with our suggestion.
