Thanks very much for the well-wishes! You might be right about CAD (even if it is so close to USD as to make conversion pretty trivial). I've also received reports that since Kickstarter Canada doesn't support Amazon Payments, many people dislike the unfamiliarity and back out. So that might be...

Thanks! Releasing the demo was precisely our attempt to combat Kickstarter Disillusionment. We certainly see Kickstarter projects failing all over the place. So in order to reassure potential backers that we were legit and not just hyping our basket full of dreams, we spent a year and a half on...

Thanks! I really appreciate your support :). And it's great that interested backers like yourself are still finding out about the game. Hopefully that trend will continue and we'll keep gathering momentum.

Well although the setup is politically-themed, the game is not really a political game. Nor even a "comedy RPG". It's an RPG that has a humorous, modern-day setting that does poke a bit of fun at the American political landscape. Which, like yourself, we (up here in Canada) have a distorted...

Cool, I'll try to reach out to them again! I'll definitely try contacting him, thanks for the recommendation! Well we certainly have done a lot of that. But then we get typical responses like, "This game doesn't look like Earthbound. FAIL" "This game looks too much like Earthbound. How...

Yes and yes to TotalBiscuit and VGA, though no response from either yet. Better try contacting them again I guess! And thanks for the well-wishes, it's very much appreciated :)

While PC is the lead platform, there's a reasonably high chance it'll end up on consoles/handhelds. Not only has Nintendo sent us a Wii U dev kit due to their excitement to have the game on the Wii U, but we all have a lot of experience developing for the 3DS due to our work on Luigi's Mansion...

Actually we've been chatting a lot with Linux users and have gotten a great response thus far (like this article: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/citizens-of-earth-a-modern-rpg-on-kickstarter.2450/page=1 ) And regarding the goal, I agree that $100k is a lot to ask for, but it's also the...

Yes we have, although as you say I'm sure they get hundreds of e-mails daily. The ones that have responded have really liked it though. Perhaps it's worth re-emailing them and hoping they don't think I'm too bothersome!

It's not specific to Canada, I just think maybe some Kickstarter project creators don't do a lot of research into all of the fees and such. Many creators are surprised, for example, when their business gets audited because they didn't report the Kickstarter money as income. But the government...

Hey folks, I'm Ryan the creator of Citizens of Earth. Thanks for starting this thread Soundwave! It's true that we are a bit bewildered at the Kickstarter progress thus far, especially when you consider how much people are enjoying the demo! But we're very open to suggestions if someone sees...
