ST:TNG Kickstarter is (now complete)!

[Pinballwiz45b]

Start donating guys! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1067367405/pinball-arcade-star-trek-the-next-generation

I urge everyone to contribute, at least at the single platform preorder level, regardless of the status of your pet bug. FarSight are obviously working hard to address all of our concerns with their limited resources. Let's not let flipper gaps and DLC delays stop us from digitally preserving one of the most significant pieces of our hobby's history there is!

so the $15k will be put towards the $60k needed thats $45,000 half of TZ this will be easy! heres to another $15k+ for the next time!

 

[ND3G]

I dropped my $100 in the pot. Really looking forward to this one. ST:TNG is my #3 table after MM and TZ.

Um after watching the old vid for a second time somthing caught my ear, a table like this wouldn't be economically viable without kickstarter.....$40k? Youve been in business over 20 years. just sayin.

Perhaps true, but the way I see it, every dollar that Farsight doesn't lose to having to pay for their own licenses is another dollar that will contribute to the profitability and thus the continuation of TPA and the production of more tables. I'm happy to see Farsight stay in the black to this end.

We're 20% done!

While that's probably far less than Activision spends on their Modern Warfare booth at E3, keep in mind that TPA is a budget game in what is traditionally a very niche market. Even if they sold this by itself for $5.00, they'd need to sell 8,000 of them just to break even on the license. If TPA starts selling in the tens of thousands of units, they could get big licenses without kickstarter, or charging exorbitant amounts for the tables.

I have a feeling this one won't make it.

 

[Gord Lacey]

Thanks, but we don't need your negativity here.

I'm in for $50. I also sent Wil Wheaton an email about it, so hopefully he posts something on his Twitter account. I'll be sure to mention it on the TVShowsOnDVD.com Twitter account and FB page.

26% funded.

Honestly though, launching this on a Friday is baaaad. Should have waited until Monday to do it.

$11,000 in 1st day wow. Is that preset from FS?

 

[Timtubemaster]

Good luck FS!!!!!

 

[Brian Clark]

I hope it does well. I love TNG (both the series and the table).

They really seem to hate the kickstarter idea over at Pinside...

Can some1 over there tell them that it is not a scam? They literally signed the Twilight Zone license and are going to do the table just as we requested. Plus, it's making an appearance with the PC version.

Wow, some of those posts make me shake my head. How the heck did the post about the physics and the post calling Kickstarter a scam actually get voted up?

 

[jrolson]

This is what I think of most of those posts...

To be honest this really, really, really pisses me off.

I gave a good chunk for TZ already and I absolutely love pinball, but I think it's total BS that they are asking for another handout when they haven't even delivered me a fully functioning base product yet.

I've already spent over $100 dollars on TPA with my donation and I'm sure as hell not giving them another cent until the game I've already purchased from them actually works like it is supposed too.

Oh well.....it will happen with or without the negative ones.

I do remember quite a few were supportive of the TZ kickstarter in the other TPA thread over there though.

As a fellow PS Vita user, I can completely understand where you are coming from with your disdain for the product we have received so far. Luckily, I have contacted them through the support page and informed them of the massive number of problems that have been compiled in my bugs and glitches topic, to which they responded that they are aware of the issues. This coupled with the response in Q&A 3 that states they there were taking a week to go though bugs makes me hopeful that the bugs will get fixed. However, I share your sentiment and will not be donating to this Kickstarter for a variety of reasons that are strongly headlined by the problems with the game in addition to the fact that I don't like the table that much either.

I do hope that this does succeed though, since I am aware that this is a very popular table and would definitely be a boost in ensuring the future success of TPA.
