I am impatient for the stretch goals.

To be fair, today has definitely delivered.

They should have had the first update ready to post the moment the KS went live. They knew we'd knock it out of the park! We're impatient! We want to see Omnitron U!

 

I hope they have the teasers and goal marks for the next set, considering we've cleared everything they've posted.

Can't wait to hear more!


You're free to do whatever you want to.

So any guesses on the next hour, slowing down now, but when the first Update comes out, might start another wave. Plus you still have the "After Work" Wave, So I wouldn't be suprised if we beat Tactics in one day, and who knows, 500k I think is possible, 750k would be great, 1 million, I agree that should be a comic.

Starting to slow down. Only ~$50K in hour 3. We will probably see another wave from the after work crowd. Hopefully they won't set the stretch goals too far ahead with this much money already in. I would say the majority of the base has already pledged. 

I also hope that when they are out of planned goals they don't keep adding more. I have watched a couple of companies end up really under delivering because they got carried away with stretch goals. Robotech comes to mind. As long as we get a good product we will all be happy.

I think $1million is a pretty good bet, given this start. My guess is $2 million.

Now that the $299 level is locked Dropping down pledge levels $132 Per person, So If they continue to drop I would estimate:

2519 People At $130 for $327,470 To beat Tactics.

there is a lot of stuff they could easily do with stretch goals though. The biggest worry I would say right now is doing so much stuff on stretch goals it delays the game. Personally I wouldnt mind seeing a stretch goal be something that helps out handelablra to get to a point they can release OblivAeon the same day as the paper copy or just to make sure everyone has their copy first, maybe a month delay. Whatever helps them finish SoTM the video game and gets them on sentinel tactics.

I'd guess north of 500K but Kickstarters that have this kind of crazy start with a pre-existing fanbase tend to tailor off in the daily rates pretty fast.  The amount that has already been pledged is staggering and unprecedented for not on GtG, but potentially for any non-mini based boardgame expansion on Kickstarter.  For reference Tuscany funded at 450K and at the time was the highest non mini boardgame on KS.   Suffice to say, this is an amazing start

Yeah, folks will have to keep in mind that after today and tomorrow, the pledge ticker will be REALLY slow until the last 24 hours where it will always pick up again. I've seen so many ppl get discouraged during KS projects that the ticker isn't moving with like 10 days left and get antsy.

If people wanna see more detailed info on how the kickstarter is going, or any kickstarter for that matter, check out kicktraq.com!

SotM is at #2 on the hotlist (of all kickstarter projects that are ongoing today): https://www.kicktraq.com/hotlist/

As the campaign goes on, the data collected will become more accurate.  Right now the "trending" numbers for OblivAeon is a bit rediculous... We're trending towards $9million...  once things are well underway, kicktraq will give a projection (as opposed to a "trend"), and it's actually somewhat accurate.

Backers: 2130
Average Daily Pledges: $279,827
Average Pledge Per Backer: $131

We're at 700% funding!

Accoridng to https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/gtgames/sentinels-of-the-multiverse-ob... It's trending to ~ $10,000,000

This is quite unlikely, but imagine that... I can hear their gears turning. SHould they buy a yacht, or 10 yachts?

Updates? I am guessing that they are trying to reformulate a new plan now that there expected funding timeline has been shattered. In fact it has been blown to Oblivaeon!

The publicity that this Kickstarter should generate is pretty amazing. It should widen the audience for SotM. They should see an up tick of sales for all SotM products. Hopefully they are ready for catastrophic success.

They could but then my pledge wouldn't go through and I wouldn't get the foil cards.

So let's not do that. :)

Ha, I wasnt suggestion they would, just as a reminder that as the funding inevitably slows down how amazing this has already been

STOP BUYING IN TO THE KICKSTARTER!!

hear me out....

we as a fan base have blown out buying power when it comes to stretch goals.   We could of kept teasing a bit more at a time.   Look at the spacing on the first ones .   Every 10k.   Now they will get caught up and you can bet your boots it will be every 50k or more on the next ones.   There's no bonus into buying In early.   Wait until the goals are all posted and let us all start to reach for them.   

We could of hit ten more or so if we hit this dollar amount over a few weeks.  Instead they don't need to be as generous.  They got our pledges.

I'd wager that they already had the stretch goal milestones in mind before the kickstarter launched. And anyway, the sooner GtG knows that a stretch goal is locked down, then the sooner they can start working on said goal.
