Really? In the whole post you had wrote, you didn't notices even a moment that it is in IndieGogo, NOT in Kickstarter?

We made it, baby! We've hit the big time! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 'The game is dead', they all said. 'There'll never be a patch, much less DLC', they all said. Well who's laughing now?!

Smashed through 725,000 Mane6 get the engine and Robo-Fortune becomes a character.

It is a good day.

Have something nice

Now... Now the waifu/husbando voting wars begin.

Vote Black Dahlia, for no particular reason!

 

[SweetShark]

OH MY GOSH *REPEAT*

 

[Quadocky]

Hah, thats hilarious that the developers were attempting to defend the creepiness by doing the whole "I have a black friend!" thing.

I think Kickstarter's already become a verb for "crowdfunding". But yeah, it's confusing as hell.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to Google something in Bing.

Kickstarter has sort of become a verb for crowdfunding, hence my use of it in the article, although I have made the change to ease up the confusion!

here is what Erin Fitzgerald (the VA of Parasol) had to say about the sexism issue

I am the Voice actress who plays Parasoul in the game Skullgirls. I consider myself very pro active in my participation in women?s rights. I own the game and I play it regularly. I don?t feel for one second that this game is sexist. Sexism is not defined by skimpy outfits. Sexism is defined by the dictionary as prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.

This game is not doing any of these things. unless you believe Skullgirls is creating the stereotype that ass kicking women have tremendously pendulous breasts. In that case, every anime series can be accused of the same thing.

Not once do these characters have to use their sexuality to get ahead. They don?t have to say demeaning things lowering their self worth. They don?t even make sexual references in the dialogue. They are not in need of men to handle their business. This is a kick ass fighting game using ALL FEMALE CHARACTERS people!

This means Payed work for female voice actors!!! Which made this VA feel empowered after the session! I got to play a powerful and strong woman in CHARGE! That is what matters to me.

What is sexist is all the first person shooter games that are made with hundreds of male characters and a pittance of female characters. Where the female characters are always the same personality and barely get a story line unless its in regards to enhance some male characters story line. When my male counterpart works 5 weeks on a game while I get 2 days. That?s sexism?. and I am still grateful for my 2 days work. That ain?t gonna change people.

Just my opinion

Holy crap. over $770,000...

Freaking amazing guys. Freaking amazing.

I kinda wonder how Robo-Fortune is going to be used in the game. Is she going to be a separate seletable character all together or is she going to be an extra pallete for Ms. Fortune that also happens to have her own story? You know, kinda like that panda and grizzly bear from the Tekken games.

she will be seperate. but she will have a lot of animations in common with regular fortune. think of it sort of like Ryu --> Akuma

Already have my name down for a Steam key, and got my name down while it was still only $30. This is going to rock.

When it finally comes out.

...I've waited this long. Four more months is fine by me - especially with beta access included.

 

[scorptatious]

A little over half an hour left and we're at $815,000!

We just might get ourselves another character if we're lucky.

 

[scorptatious]

Holy shit! We made it!!

$825,000! With a minute to spare!! 8D

 

[SweetShark]

*Copy/Paste special move*

Jesus Chirst.....we did it!!!
We reached the magical number 829,829 Dollars!!!!

In other words:


-5 new characters. [Squigly, Big Band, Robo-Fortune, 2 Mystery Characters]
-6 (maybe 7) new Stages. [for the first 4 DLC characters, 2 bonus stages for the OC characters]
-8 voices packs [Republican Double, Salty Parasoul, Saxploitation, Anime Peacock, Female Announcer, Drunk Announcer, Real Soviet Damage]
-4 (maybe 5) new stories for the DLC characters.
-Mane6's Developers get the Skullgirls Engine for free.

Thank you for your contribution and effort to reach that high to help this awesome team!!!!

Wait... what? This looks like classic crowdfunding abuse. 'Hey, we publish your game, but you don't get any money, crowdfund it. We totally take the earnigs, though.' I really hope this is not the case.

You know this DLC is going to be free, right?

AFAIK, only Squigly's going to be, free, and only for a limited time.

As a matter of fact, you're wrong:

"Everything we develop as a result of this campaign will be released free to everybody"

For a limited time doesn't really matter since anyone who's interested enough to donate will also be interested enough to grab it while it's free.

Marvelous AQL is publishing the PC version of the game, which was coming out regardless of this crowd funding campaign

this drive was only for DLC, which will be free for two months
