All in all, GW (Ryan specifically) has been very transparent.<br /><br />Additionally, I forget where this is discussed (blog or KS), but GW does have investors, the most recent KS is is to shorten the development cycle and to make the game bigger, better, etc.Elorebaenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659299485383515517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279162265168778574.post-55277992169571701182012-12-04T13:20:37.313-07:002012-12-04T13:20:37.313-07:00As I said, I did not back the first one because I ...As I said, I did not back the first one because I didn't feel it had anything I wanted so I did not get the update.JPChapleauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783051524957278979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279162265168778574.post-44987710479304147282012-12-04T13:08:34.579-07:002012-12-04T13:08:34.579-07:00re: initial investment

The breakdown is quite specific.Elorebaenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659299485383515517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279162265168778574.post-5490094012552415502012-12-04T09:26:30.590-07:002012-12-04T09:26:30.590-07:00I know it costs a lot (I work in non-video game so...I know it costs a lot (I work in non-video game software industry).<br />I would've loved for them to give us an idea of "where we are and what we did". I don't feel I got that for anything beyond the technology. Assuming they spend 300k every 6 months, the 1M would get them up to the Beta. <br />Note that normally I would not worry about how Paizo spend their money. But here they are asking ME for money, they want ME to be an investor. <br />What then? Another Kickstarter?<br />JPChapleauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783051524957278979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279162265168778574.post-30971697101201939102012-12-04T07:48:55.779-07:002012-12-04T07:48:55.779-07:00I work in the video game industry, so I can tell y...I work in the video game industry, so I can tell you: making games is very, very expensive. $300k might pay 10 people for 6 months--and that doesn't include expenses for things like hardware, software, office space, and test servers.<br /><br />I don't know if that knowledge helps to temper your opinion, but knowing is half the battle!DeadGodhttp://www.mediocretales.comnoreply@blogger.com
