Possible Elite Novella...

[maik]

While the book would then come without a game to promote it , I would be quite disappointed if its kickstarter would be cancelled just because of that...

I've sync'd the close dates as close as possible. In that event I will cancel early.

Cheers,

Drew.

What will be interesting if you say "Sod that I'm writing the book anyway" - clearly DB planned to sell the rights to write about Elite for £4,500, that must still hold true even if his own kickstarter falls on its arse (I'm starting to get worried about the progressively slower backing...) - you could write the novel and if DB comes knocking for the cash - hand over the £4.5K and if he doesn't - you put the money into better production and possibly (after the eBook sells - ala Fusion) a physical print run...

Will see how it goes... decision there for Jan 2013 I think!

Cheers,

Drew.

I'm glad that this Elite: Dangerous Kickstarter thing reminded me of Oolite and I decided to pop by. I'll gladly support your attempt!

As an aside, I'd perhaps have used smaller increments in the pledge amounts to lure people to pledge a bit more. Now, the jumps between the amounts are a bit steep...

Drew, have you thought about asking DB if he has some details about the setting for E:D? That might help both you (in plotting and for some updates for your Kickstarter) and him as it will allow his pledgers to know when the game will be set.

A good update for your KS would be a short "synopsis" of the story if you can work up an idea before the end of the campaign.

Just a suggestion.

Here's what we know Selezen. Straight from the FAQ

Will there be alien races or factions?

Please wait and see (don't want any spoilers do we?)...

Good suggestion though. I will ask.

Cheers,

Drew.
