I'm really shocked it got this high. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally stoked as a $15 early bird. However with just the concept video, no actually in game, and a lot of promises... I'm shocked it boomed as hard as it did.

Haha when I see some of the games that have been funded on kickstarter, I wish some would be. Some people are tossing money at games that from their very core are bad. All it's goign to take is one major burn from some games and people may lose faith in kickstarter :(

Eh, not really . Kickstarter is, at its very core, a good idea.

We did it! 1.8 mill! Galactic Conquest! AND we still have paypal which means we might get orchestrated. The documentary is looking sketchy though.

No offence to Uber but I am not interested in the documentary. The music score I would like because good music in a game is something to savour.

However, WOOT Galactic War!

I'm with you Tibbsy I'd like to see a documentary made. But not as much as I'd like to get orchestrated music.

The documentary isn't really a necessary thing, it's more of a Nice Thing That We Might Like After The Game Is Made And Is Awesome.

I'm beginning to wonder if the documentary goal will be enough. 20 hours left and we're above $1 920 000. And that's not including paypal.
I'm very sure we'll reach it.

The score has been funded. Just....WOW.

I hope that time traveling units are made, also the Can, and those huge cannons are created. Nukes are a lesser want, but I WANT THOSE ASTEROIDS.

Good lord, this thing hit those last couple of stretch goals fast. In what, the span of about 36 hours or so, it jumped up around 300 grand?

12 hours to go and a hair less than $70,000 to hit the last one. I mean, just...wow.

Just noticed this gem on their site:

Will there be mod support?
Yes! We feel this is a fundamental part of the spirit of TA.


Glad to see they remembered this

Mod support is indeed a fundamental part of both T and A. Of course, some are better than others.
