    Jesus christ you're an investor o_O. But I'm not sure that that money measurement is correct. I'm pretty sure most of the money was flowing in the first week, and after 750k did it slow down.

    You can add tips to your preorder and a lot of people have probably added 1 or 2 more to theirs which makes it uneven.

    I didn't knew about the tips. I had to ask a friend to buy the game for me (I gave him the money) because every payment option needed an international credit card.

    I like the LBP popit design too. It would let me know when someone was about to spam a rocket ship full of tiny bombs, will be a great way to see when someone is about to build a death trap for me! :up:

    Hopefully they'll keep going without stretch goals or just small cosmetic ones so that the game will come out faster. Also, what is LBP?

    little big planet. Sorry, I figured everyone knew the shorthand for some reason. /ps3 nerd

    It's fine. I've never owned a PS anything, so that's why I didn't recognize it.

    I think we won't hit the Million mark. Especially since the incentive is starter pets. Rofl. Well while I loved the 1st two rewards. Pets? Meh.
    The orders have slowed exponentially. Just saying I wouldn't be hurt if they didn't reach a million.

    I expect it to hit 1m, just because I'm sure there's still plenty of people that haven't gotten around to preordering it, for whatever reasons. I don't know if it'd hit 1 and a quarter, though. I'm quite happy to see how well it's doing.

    If the preorder goes for another 2 months, I'll probably be wrong. But eh.

    Geez, you must have a lot of expendable income. Jealous of your badges :)

    I wondering if they'll add another stepping stone in the preordering process. I know they had a tough time deciding on the last one (pets), so what else could they come up with?

    just faster development maybe. Like. More we make, the more we can give to our existing workers or something. Do it in jumps like 200k~ takes a few weeks off of wait time or something. /hasnoidea

    Err... there's gonna be a new thread every time a certain amount of $ are in?
    Just don't do that...
    Wasn't there a thread which was overlooking the whole pre-order-thingy?

    If I heard correctly, the fact that we reached 900k$ actually speeds up the development greatly, and also raises the developer's morale and brain investement by not making them do other jobs (or, at least, two at once), thus also potentially lowering the amount of bugs in the first beta.

    sorry to post this here, but anyone remember the post that had all the images from starbound until now?

    Our chance of hitting the 1 million stretch goal is 100%. The preorder goes on until the beta is released, and from what I have heard we could have a few months before that happens.

    I actually wish Tiy hadn't included stretch goals for this reason. If he doesn't include a fourth, he will be slandered, and if he does include more, he will be forced to come out with tons of new ideas for stretch goals every time one is reached. And if we do have 4 months left, many stretch goals may be reached.
