Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on November 15, 2016, 11:22
Jupiter Hell, the spiritual successor to Doom the Roguelike, has now launched on Kickstarter!

Jupiter Hell Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2020043306/jupiter-hell-a-modern-turn-based-sci-fi-roguelike)

With Jupiter Hell we are aiming to get a new generation hooked on the hardcore roguelike formula. Combining traditional gameplay with a modern look and feel, it is a game that can appeal to both long-term roguelike players and new gamers that have embraced the likes of X-COM.

We need your support to make this happen! Please visit the Kickstarter page, check out our video and the details of the game, and pledge if you can. You help in sharing news of this is also much needed - please spread the word and bring Jupiter Hell to everyone!

I wish I had more disposable income, but you're getting as much as I can send your way - gotta at least live up to my DoomRL forum rank ;)

I will spread the word where I can - I know a few places I can put it out that might generate some interest.

Day 3 is not over at all, and already brought ~3%. Not too bad.
Holding my breath, tracking: http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/2020043306/jupiter-hell-a-modern-turn-based-sci-fi-roguelike/#chart-daily

Sidekick predicts success with a 71% probability. Given the marketing campaign doesn't read it and relax.
http://sidekick.epfl.ch/campaign/643979114-jupiter-hell---a-modern-turn-based-sci-fi-roguelike

...OMG, the prediction went down to 40% while I was writing this. Well, it's always on the verge.

Sidekick now predicting 18% chance of success, which to be frank is just silly! In Kickstarter terms we've had a great start. We need to do more work to get the message spread (and we need everyone's help posting to Facebook and the like too) but we're quietly confident this will be a success.

We've just posted our 2nd campaign update, with a big bunch of information about both game design and the story:

If there are other things you want to hear about just say!

That's a great update! I really love it.

Though, don't call a statistics silly - it's the primary way to know the truth.
As for my opinion, project needs to collect 50% in the first three days, or it is. Yesterday the funding curve looked pretty bad, like it was going to flatline on 50%, today it's inclination has increased, which is great. I'm totally with you on the point "more work to get message spread", and I wouldn't be confident in Kickstarter; I would be active as if my life depended on it.

Even the spike in the end doesn't happen without a heavy-marketing-lifting.

I wish you a great success in that!

If you can get him on the coding team, this KS will be over tomorrow.

I wonder how many people have the opportunity to fight themselves in a video game...

HAHAHAHAhahahahahaha... I don't think he's really into YADL game.  Otherwise he'd not leave iD.

Jupiter Hell Kickstarter is finally here and I still never got that veteran angelic badge I wanted so much. I think it's time I reprise my role as videogame janitor, corpse disposal is a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.

Really hoping for this Kickstarter's success! Trying to get people in to DoomRL was hard so I'm hoping Jupiter Hell will win them over.

New Gods have also given us their blessing:

I've uninstalled Doom from my Steam library and requested a refund. If they approve it, you can expect my kickstarter pledge to increase by at least the cost of Doom on Steam.

Fuck ZeniMax.

Can we get a last-minute funding drive event? I'm proposing all the forum regulars double their pledge until this thing is funded! And spam the crap out of it on social media!
Title: Re: Jupiter Hell Kickstarter is LIVE!
Post by: Sereg on December 10, 2016, 18:29
I dunno about doubling, but I'm eyeing the next tier right now... we'll see what happens in the next 2 days ;)

Unfortunately, I can't help with social media, but I will bump the threads I created about this on other forums I frequent.
Title: Re: Jupiter Hell Kickstarter is LIVE!
Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on December 10, 2016, 18:55
Social reach is pretty good - it's the forums that need boosting. Add in a personal message. Tell people what cannot be seen in videos, that the game is going to be turn-based, that it's got a pretty high bar to tackle - by beating both DoomRL and AliensRL in what they do best. Also, mention how all roguelikes can benefit from JH - by giving the true roguelikes a reach that is beyond pixelart or ascii lovers...

I count on you people <3

I'm like, broke as hell after having set my tier out there on the KS.

Yinz folks should double up though!

Double post because too awesome:

Jupiter Hell is 100% funded now!

Hell yeah!

Post by: ZicherCZ on December 12, 2016, 07:34
Awesome, simply awesome! Congratulations, guys!

And in fact, if we get close to any stretch goals by tomorrow evening, I will consider raising my pledge in order to reach them.

Good work all... now let's see if we can't achieve some of the stretch goals...

I'm pretty much tapped out as far as what I can afford to pledge, after upgrading two more tiers, but hopefully others out there have some to spare.

The first stretch goal is within reach tbh. :)

I know the feeling; went from bronze to diamond, but xmas is coming and have to get presents to everyone.

I am really looking forward to this project.

Do you know you cannot edit the project page after the campaign ends?
So be prepared to update it during the last minutes!

First time in ages, I don't visit forum or JH site for a bit, and the Kickstarter campaign is almost over O_o.

Stretch goal #1 reached!

Also, 2000 backers!

Now, can we reach stretch goal #2? So far it looks possible ...

Does Kickstarter do any kind of backerkit system, or is that $70k (and the attendant resulting features) it?
Title: Re: Jupiter Hell Kickstarter is LIVE!
Post by: ZicherCZ on December 13, 2016, 16:11
Congratulations to all of us - Jupiter Hell is coming!
Title: Re: Jupiter Hell Kickstarter is LIVE!
Post by: Darren Grey on December 13, 2016, 16:50
Woohoo! We're funded!

If anyone missed the Kickstarter, or couldn't physically pay through it, we're accepting further funds through our web-site: https://jupiterhell.com/page/preorder Includes more payment options like Paypal and Bitcoin!
