Special Announcement - Kickstarter

[Bunnyhunt3r]

Yes this is funny and cruel, like our lives.

Edit.: if it is true, this announcement is a Masterpiece.

[Ampersandrew]

Yeah.. if true they should have waited a day. Otherwise this is just cruel as everyone has been waiting for 2ish years.

Five ish years, surely.

Remember that it is a Kickstarter, which means needs funding and not ready yet....

Still think it's a great joke tease though if that's what it is...

[madman]

ROFLMAO all the way to my wallet....

[Ampersandrew]

A kickstarter doesn't necessarily mean not finished. Some companies complete the stuff before they go to kickstarter. I got the impression that this was what Smiteworks had planned.

It's possible to release full products on Kickstarter as well. I mentioned on the Discord server that Morrus from EN World has said on his podcast how he often has completed products ready, then uses the Kickstarter to fun their release/take orders. The platform doesn't just have to be used for pre-production costs.

April Fools' Day?

Have faith; Doug and company have generally taken really good care of their customer base.

My wallet is ready, unless of course my wife goes on an unnecessary buying spree in the next month.

This is exactly my impression and why I've stuck to FG instead of switching to R20.

Also note the Date this is a pre-announcement for Next month. So I could see this being real.
