How long do you think it will take to reach the stretch goal?

What are your opinions on the stretch goal, and do you think there will be any more of them? :0

 

It says "Stretch Goal 1 - The Novakids" so there is a high chance that there will be more goals (if we make the first one, which we probably will).

 

I am certain it will be reached. It might get there within the first 48 hours (but I am slightly skeptical) but within the first week I am certain.

 

Its a pretty big goal, and since its the first day of pre order theyre getting tons of money, but it will obviously slow down. Do you guys think the other goals with be in smaller increments?

 

You've got to remember that purchases will slow down after the initial rush
I'm sure it'll be reached, but I can't put a time on it

 

I'm thinking within 12 hours or so, if things keep a similar pace.

Edit: Seems to be slowing down a bit now.

 

If there are other goals, I don't think it will be as much as to double the current. However, if they make them too small they may have a slough of new features to add in.

 

i see nothing wrong with this

 

I for one hope they end up making them too small.

 

An week or two.

Be Aware Pre-Order will SLOW DOWN Alot. Soo 500k it's not that easy Pie in so little time.

 

Pre-orders will slow down, but I don't think THAT fast. My guess it'll hit in 3-4 days.

 

We're def gunna hit 400k by today

 

You could say that most people would have preordered by now, so things will slow down.
But from what I've seen, many people are waiting for a bit to either decide which tier they want, or until they can afford it.

 

It's very hard to know. It depends how Starbound is getting Promoted.

And for now, Starbound is STILL little talked in Gaming Media and Social Sites. Things like an Trailer, some some ETAs would make much more impact into the gaming community and that = more pre-orders.

 

Well, I really thought they'd make their 500,000 mark by midnight tonight EST (about three hours from now) but it has slowed a lot since this afternoon. I'd image the total will be above 350,000 by midnight, but I'm still confident they will make their 500,000 mark by the end of tomorrow. One thing people can do to help them get there is tweet about the game. Honestly, even if you can't support the dev team by purchasing the pre-order, getting the word out there is just as helpful!

 

I give it a week. yes the pre-orders will slow but the game is getting a lot of publicity~ either way we reached an extremely amazing number in so little time. we should all feel very proud on how we helped things move along.

 

I put down today, since it's still morning here in Aus

 

.....and...BOOM! 350,000 and some change! I think it'll be at 400,000 by the time I wake up, and I definitely think they will hit that mark by tomorrow night.

 

what the game really needs at this point is more publicity, starbound is a HUGE game, a wicked feat for indie developers, and yet to me it feels very second rate just because of how little its publicized

 

I completely agree that it needs more publicity, and the easiest (and completely free) thing that everyone in the community can do is to tweet about the game. We need to support them by helping to spread the word!
