Hm, so no hat for those who want to buy it along with the game when it gets released.
Bad week for being broke.

There will be other, different hats for the core game. Just the Leviathan hat is going to be exclusive to this campaign.
As soon as the artists wake up, I'm going to talk about increasing the limits on some of those tiers. Did not expect those to go, uh, in the first hour.
$15.
They said they couldn't pull it off; something about Steamworks not being an approved middleware.

Now we're talking! Give me dat Vice-Versa hat.
And speaking of hats, is it gonna be the Leviathan hat tradeable?

Will look at my money on pay day and go accordingly. Hope they can reach the stretch goals, I want more characters and levels!

Echoing my comments from IndieGoGo over here - you guys should seriously consider Karen Strassman to voice Squigly. I think she'd be perfect.

A lot of the silhouettes are already getting identified, but it'll still be nice to actually see them unveiled on the chart.

Crowdfunding for DLC now? A game sure, but character dlc?
I would rather support them making a new game.

I think they've already finalized or are about to finalize who the voice actor for Squigly is going to be assuming she's funded. Fairly certain the candidates have already auditioned for the role.
When you've got no where else to turn ...
Edit :
Holy wow I love this avatar. Where's it from?
Seems like a bad idea to me, rather they just kickstart a sequel. Seems like it would be more cost-efficient too, and then they wouldn't have to do two kickstarters. But I guess they just want to be doing something to get work because of a financial/legal situation.

Think a lot of it has to do with how much more a sequel would require compared to shipping a few DLC characters. The original SG game cost 1.7m going from Ravid and that seems a much more lofty goal than 150k.
I think they're trying to avoid kick starting a sequel. If this goes well, and they finally get paid for the pc and console versions, it'll be enough to possibly fund a sequel.
I think Lab Zero really wants to give back to the community and deliver on the things that they were promising. Things went bad for them for all the wrong reasons, unfortunately.

Maybe it's cause when I'm thinking the state of the franchise, a kickstarter may be one of the best viable options for an SG2 to even exist. And asking fans for money twice, especially so short after the charity donation drive is a bit much, especially for the niche game it is.

Mhmm, well on the plus side, it seems you're nearly 1/4 of the way there and it's only the first day or so!
It's been up for 2 hours...
Considering that they can always recycle what they have now I think it would be better to support the bare minimum for characters and if all goes will make a serious effort later for the sequel.
And I think that all the top tier rewards should get a boost, you have a lot of demand for them. I know you said you're working on contacting the artist but that point can't be stressed enough.
I keep thinking the voice should be by whomever sings that initial bit when the game starts up, considering the character is supposed to be an opera singer - it'd fit perfectly for her story mode.
Then again, for all I know, Michuru Yamane got someone in Japan to do that bit... but then again, could be something for the Japanese localization, if that version uses its own voices...
I was going to ask if it was OK to spectulate about the sillouettes here, but it seems most of the work is already done. I wonder if there are concrete gameplay plans for even half of them... wasn't expecting the fish game that Ms. fortune keeps misnaming in her story mode to be there, but then again, Knife... or Andy as a separate character, how would that work in a story mode?...
I don't think we could survive for 18+ months on the salaries we're asking for here. People are already stretched thin, and a full second game at these prices would be difficult to say the least.
Also, I mean, even if we did ask for $2M or whatever you'd get the same comments, I think.
The singer in the music is Yamane's sister, who is a trained opera singer. Same one from the SotN save/load screen.

Someone's going to pay to put him or a Sagat-alike in a background at this rate, won't it be so?... after that Ryu+Bonus-kun reference...
Then again, how come the tier for that already broke, reaching 10 out of 8?...
(oh well, spares my SNK fanboy self the expense and effort to think of an adequate reference to my preferred fighting game setting that could fit in the SG world)

I could understand maybe if it were a character I really liked and were nuts over.
But it sounds like there's this and a few ambiguous perks. I have mixed feelings.

My god, just seeing that Annie silhouette makes my heart beat fast. I want her playable. D:
So many self-inflicted wounds in the art direction.

Very nice numbers for just two hours. Hopefully we can cross into the 80k zone before 12AM PST(3AM EST).
I'll be somewhere in the 100-200 tier with some luck.
Just got home so I haven't even gotten the chance to read the Indiegogo page.
Edit: Nevermind... you answered the question above like a million times.

I got a question. Can you upgrade the rewards throughout the campaign? It looks like there could be some serious moolah to be made in the higher tiers. I'm amazed that so many high rollers have thrown in their cards as is tbh.

Yep, Skullgirls could have three times it's current LTD sales and Autumn would probably still have a hard time funding DLC when they are in the middle of a lawsuit.
You got any particular audio clips you'd like to share? I'd love to hear them.
We couldn't fund it if we tried.
That is a damn good question.
There's a limit of 5000 on the $30 tier, but when that runs out we can increase it to $35 to recoup the added cost of additional codes.

How much will the game cost on steam? I'm willing to donate but it depends on the steam price, don't want unnecessary things.

I know I asked this before, but will you increase the number of $250 tier? Also, will we be charged now or after the fund is complete?

Glad this didn't come out a week ago or so... would have donated to get a background NPC... one so awesome people would request him to be character.
