Dammit, Google Translate won't translate that, even without all the extra a's.
Still don't regret it though. Two games and a soundtrack set really isn't bad at all.

I'm starting to think the same.
My major issue is with this method that is being employed to make this particular game. If this is a glimpse as to how indie developers will fund their future Dreamcast projects, (pay X amount for this, but pay a bit more to have addition content that we just came up with) then I no longer wish to support the Dreamcast Indie game release anymore. If I want a shady business model like that then I may as well stick to current gen console and buy money grubbing releases like SFxT and Raiden VI

Kind of reminds me of DLC. You could calculate the value of DLC based on the corresponding game's initial price, and, considering that the graphics, coding, music, licensing etc. is already done, you'd find that it's always several times its value. And yet, people readily open their wallets for it. But I digress.
You're certainly right, though. At least we do still have a couple other developers, namely the ones published by RedSpotGames. The rest of them are more... ethical, aren't they?

It was a clever move to use that Kickstarter website. The time limit makes it urgent and speeds up the process. Nike, just do it. That, and they know how nuts Dreamcast fans are... lol

I reckon so. It does feel a bit calculative.
I just find it very unethical that they didn't open their entire agenda with this game! It REALLY bothers me.

Come to think of it, I did feel like I was in a huge rush to get my $100 in as soon as possible. Never did consider that before. Perhaps I'm a little naive.

You and me both...
Does anyone here think they'll reach these additional goals of 40 or 60k?

I'll tell you one thing, if I wasn't so impulsive in dropping cash before this new "goals" they are trying achieve, I would've instantly been turn off by it and not donated...
