What about the PC Engine? I've heard folks speak incredulously about that stretch goal as well.

We are consider to restructure the stretchgoals and I would like to know what you think. We want to try to lower the DC Stretchgoal to 100k. This should be doable right?

Now you are talking!

Thing is that 99% of the DC users won't pledge if there isn't actually anything in it for us. It makes no sense to pledge €50 or 100 just to make it to the DC stretch goal, and then to have to pay another 50 or 100 to actually get a copy of the game, that's just not how it works...

If you actually add a physical copy for the DC you'll be amazed how fast it'll start going up. We're very supportive to our scene

Another small update, we work on a paypal solution right now for those who have no credit card

I am not quite sure, the DC Port will be a real physical release on 2 CDs. One game, the other the Game OST.

I agree. Supporting preorders and kickstarters is one thing but adding the "maybies and ifs" to the mix is another. I hope you restructure a dreamcast tier.

Okay guys, Dreamcast will be changed down to 90K.

I think you should offer Nintendo 3DS physical copies, only attainable via Kickstarter, that way a lot of collectors would pledge. People that come to Kickstarters & collectors in general want physycal rewards, not just download codes, that's how I see it. You can charge 150 € for a 3DS physical copy and believe me that collectors of the system will pledge just to be able to have a fullset or just to have a rare title in their collection.

Also, you should make something like 100 € - physical Dreamcast copy of the game as a pledge, not just a certain stretch goal amount. If you do it this way, the total pledged will increse by thousands really quick.

@Teamsaberrider: First of all, thanks for reaching out to us in this forum.

I agree. If you need a proof, search for the KS of Redux, Pier Solar HD and Elysian Shadows. Those projects where mostly carried by the DC-scene.
My personal opinion (ie the scenario that would lead ME to support your cause): You should guarantee a high quality DC-version from the start, maybe even in two different editions (let's say $ 40 for a RE, $ 80 for a CE). I'm a Dreamcast fan and I supported all of the related Kickstarters so far. To be honest, with the current graphical quality (even if this is early alpha) I would only go for the $ 40 RE of my scenario (that implies that I wouldn't back now, because I simply don't care for the other platforms). Please increase the graphical quality. I'm not saying "lift it to a 32-bit level", just make it look like a top notch 16 bit title (animations, parallax-layers).
I wish you no harm, those are just my 2 cents. Good luck!
