Some Q&A with Feargus this morning:
Question: I have three related questions for you.
1) In the box version, will the disk be in a CD jewel case, a DVD case, or a paper envelope?
2) Has any decision been made about the soundtrack being on CD for physical tiers?
3) Will the expansion be available on disk when it's released?
I would love if everything came in CD jewel cases, so they would fit right next to all my other related games. No big deal though
Feargus: (1) Our hope is a CD case, however we need to do costing out once everything is settled to see the break down (2) No. But one is being made very, very shortly. (3) It is possible, but we think it is unlikely. (4) Gotcha, and totally understand.
Question: Also any confirmation on a physical almanac?
Feargus: I don't think we will be adding the physical almanac at this point as an add-on. We want to do some work in figuring out the cost in both production and shipping first.
Question: do you have further strechgoals planned? I would hate to see the campaign just stop at 3.5 if more is possible..
Feargus: Our big conversation for this morning will be further stretch goal(s), we have a short list on the whiteboard and need to talk through it.
Question: With the success of this KS project, do you think you will consider publishing through the fans again in the future? I know we can't muster 40 mil for game development, but I like dealing directly with you way more than some corporate middleman. I mean, I still buy plenty of games that way. Its just this feels more like you are custom making a present just for me.
Feargus: We absolutely would like to fund through our fans. The one thing we have talked about internally is when we can fund another game. It feels like we really should get PE done before asking for more (for another game).
Question: Any word on that physical soundtrack? :)
Feargus: Talking about it this morning - still before 9AM PST here, so it's still very, very early in the normal game developer day. :)
Question: Regarding the documentary, will everyone above the $20/25 mark be able to stream, everyone above $35 be able to download? I'm assuming so, but thought I'd ask.
Feargus: Yes, everyone inherits the lower tier features of the Documentary
Question: Random Question: I have seen on the forums the discussions about the cost of voice acting and I have even seen people volunteer to voice act for you. Have you guys ever thought of doing online auditions or casting of fans? I am sure everyone here would love to gift some dialogue.
Feargus: We have talked about it. After the campaign, our voice over producer, Mikey Dowling, is going to start working on plans and when we would want to do things like auditions.
Question: Will we be able to register the Physical copy on Steam?
Feargus: I know you will be able to add it to your game library (like you can with other games).
Question: just wanted to say thanks for teaming with NEXUS as the mod site ... I have great respect for them and have used way way too much of their bandwidth :)
Feargus: Thanks - I use Nexus all the time for Skyrim and Fallout stuff.
Question: Around/between wat time(s) will that Tuesday morning tier be announced? If it is something cool I'd like to be able to consider it and not be asleep cause I'm not American.
Feargus: We are hoping to announce that pretty early - trying for 9AM or 10AM PST.
Question: So if we beat 3.5 million with time to spare would you add another stretch?
Feargus: We are going to be working on that today
Question: Anybody know the typical percentage of delinquent pledges for a Kickstarter campaign? It would be rather disappointing to finish around 3.55M total only to loose the second super city to fraudulent pledges.
Feargus: The percentage is pretty small. We have numbers from both Wasteland 2 and PA.
Feargus: PayPal is at $92.5K.
