I like the review and mechanics of the game. Instabought - always love TBS game like invisible inc, XCOM, Xenonaut etc.

Damn, I was a backer and I don't remember the offer of a GOG key. Does anyone know if that's an option?

Would be nice if I could change my Kickstarter Humble key to a GOG key.

Awesome release, DF are great developers (excluding SpaceBase DF9 debacle), they make amazing games. Heck, they even removed GFWL from Iron Brigade after they got the rights back from Microsoft, and they managed to create a great game called Broken Age from nothing in just three years.

That's right, three years ago, they had no story, no tools, no art, no characters, no team, but they still managed to complete a game in 3 years. And not a single backer was charged twice. Oh, and let's not forget that the KS also funded an awesome documentary series, which is also available on DFs Youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/DoubleFineProd/videos), and all those physical rewards that we got.

But of course everybody that has backed knows this? Or did all the haters actually not watch the pitch video on KS.

So, thank you Double Fine for another great game called Massive Chalice. If you go on KS again with a game I'd like to play, I'll support you again.

Just dont do Early Access hoping that will fund the development. :)

Woah, this definitely didn't come up on my rss feed, anyone else have this issue?

a massive snip follows:

that's totally ok. but with THREE MILLION DOLLARS! [say it in the doctor evil voice if you must] you can most certainly afford [and should get] an accountant and some form of financial officer to steer your ship.
gog's rss seems to be borked as of monday. [well, that's when i started noticing it, anyway.]

Oh god, look, you and me could probably live off 3 million dollars till the end of our lives. But those 3 million went into backer rewards, documentary, people's salaries, taxes, utilities, rent etc. It's not cheap running a company.

Yeah, because Daedalic uses a lot of unpaid intership. I don't know about you but I believe people should be paid for their (commercial) work.

Indeed. I don't really understand why people are so fixated on the budget when they did release the game which didn't have a scope of one screen or something.

InXile ran another campaign a year after their first KS campaign without releaseing it and I don't see even a fraction of that vitriol.
99% of KS campaigns has failed to deliver on estimated date and there is usually one odd person out of dozens which complains even a year after it was released how it was a scam all along because they didn't get it exactly on that day - DF still has a plentiful of people who feel the need to vent that.
I backed a small game from a small group of developers which was released and was fine but wasn't so large in the scope as its creators wanted to make it happen or some aspects were that polished and I didn't see the angry mobs around.
Early Access is about paying for an incomplete product. It is not a pre-order, it is incomplete game where you can home it gets developed further because it is nowhere to be said a developer is obliged to deliver all "We would like to" features. Yet people are getting offended that the studio didn't go bancrupt in order to finish all desired features for the game with very low demand.
Geez, the amount of crap DF is getting for all the stuff other projects are not. It got to the point where it is just ridiculous.

Yeah, I've seen it a lot with boardgame / tabletop RPG kickstarters. Game creators that decide to get money directly from the players and dodging "ze evil middleman", and discovering that publisher is a real job and not simply passing 3 phone calls and then rolling in the cash.
Some manage to do the jump and become decent publishers themselves after a rocky start, but other simply break under the pressure. Quite sad to see that enthusiasm shatter and a dream project going down due to financial/management/business inexperience.

And more on topic : Looks interesting. I'll look at the reviews of this one. :)

Finally, a game that lets you feel a bit like a Bene Gesserit. I will try it.

This is the spark of originality that was lost with massive budgets.

Not much interested in any Kickstarter drama, I guess that is why I don't participate in KS (broken promises, unrealistic expectations and all that).

If this game is any good, I'll probably buy it. Interesting though that I always thought Double Fine has some kind of good aura around them, but now I see merely bitching about them (due to KS I guess).

Still waiting for a Dune-themed game myself too :)

1.40 difference to paying with euro


i saw the game so i search on youtube
as i expected its a weird '3d' perspective , with a weird view, requirng funny scrolling , movement, and the likes
so i will stay clear from this one.

if it had been 'flat' and a normal view then the game could have been on my account, but i saw 1 minute of video and my feet began to behave funny so i stay clear from it.

so it also seems they dont " want " my money aswell (or from people who have motionsickness like me).
Every game that looks and plays like this game are a big no no for me.
i' ll sit this one out forever :D

I agree and add a Argh no thanks.
They lost my good will because of broken half age and Tim Schafers comments on gamers gate and other stuff.
Oh and regional pricing too.
