GAH! cant wait for this!! any idea when prototype will be released? (early september, middle, late?)

Great idea, interactive credits are the way to go :) Keep up the good work and enjoy your new location !

Credit Island rocks! I wanna be a soul in the game! (Good thing I already kickstarted…)

WOW, a very creative idea!
Lovin it!

oh, now thats cool i assume there will be a lot of bobs so i will go with storman, wonder if there is a name size limit otherwise id have storman norman

I was hoping for a more informational post =( maybe talk about what you worked on this week and what problems you ran into. We still havent gotten a live stream of you guys at work or anything and it seems like a lot of people would be interested in something along those lines. Anyway I’m dying to get my hands on this game!

I love the idea of Credit Island! It won’t just be “your name in the game” but give a reason for players to interact with one another–love the mapping concept.

This is an amazing idea for crediting, ingenious way to make credits fun.
Can’t wait to get my hands on the game, keep up the awesome!

Do you Have an ETA on when we can use PayPal for kickstarter?

“We having some trouble integrating with our various bank accounts. Chances are we’ll add the widget on our site during next week.

If it doesn’t work until later, we are considering leaving the widget for a full week after the Kickstarter is done.

Cheers!

my reply on kickstarter

This is a fantastic idea! Now I’m looking forward to the credits!

I think it is really inventive. Congrats!

This sounds like a great idea! I’ve never wanted to look at ‘credits’ more!

Will the atomic backer also have a gem in the ground named after them or only the big letter on the island? Don’t think those giant names will be hard to find.

” *Enters game*. Ah, there’s my name! Soooo, what’s next..?”

This is by far the most interesting way to deliver credits I have ever seen. I may not be able to help with the kickstarter but I can at least tell you how I feel about this incredible idea. Keep up the good work.

Still waitin for the PayPal …. Honestly take my money , now ! Just kidding but don’t forget about.
I want to play the prototype , I will play it to death and send u thousands of bug reports ^^ I hope there aren’t that many ^^

Hey Sauropod!

I am a little confused. Help would be nice :)

I’ve seen dusins of people asking for a release dato of the prototype, and they are always getting two replies.

1: “The prototype will be released shortly after the end of the kickstarter” .. This would mean max. 1 month when it’s “shortly” after, right?

2: “The prototype won’t be released till October 17th”

Which one, if one of them, is the truth?

I love the Credit Island idea, cant wait to Find them all.
And HATS YESSSSS TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Best credits idea ever. Well done guys, looking forward to it.

Thats a fantastic idea! :D love it.

I really love the idea of “Credit Island” its a really ingenious idea, good thinking!

You guys…are just too…dang…good

The first idea that occured to me was picking bricktrons’ names randomly from the backers list. But it would probably be too big footprint of kickstarter.

I really like it! My one qualm with it is creating an achievement for finding your name. Completionists shouldn’t be punished by lacking an achievement just because they didn’t back the game enough to have an in-game credit!

Ok,
I know i am the 458327 person how ask again,
but when does the palpay option will be availabel?

In fakt the kickstarter only runnig at least for one week,
and then is end.
I really want wo pay now and get the prototyp,
I don`t want wo wait until october.
There are nearly 2 month left.
Its tooooooo long, i can`t wait.

and also the game will later be more expensive the 15$,
are only an “pre-release prise” as it was called on kickstarter.

Love it, love it, love it.

My love, it’s over 9000!

Also.. The video talked about concept art, and showed a hat. .. Bricktrons with hats? <3

All i’ll say is be careful to leave some padding in your budget, as your drive to get the kickstarter up showed, unexpected delays are to be well, expected. Don’t want you guys to be going along great, hit the final 5% of a finished game and find time overuns have left you without the money to finish up ;).

Probably worrying needleslly but still.

Oh my god…

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATS!

I have not said anything against sauropod studios, I am just stating, that the developers said the prototype will be up until October the 17th.
Not more, not less.
As far as i am concerned they can release it whenever they want, because the end product will be all the better for it.

Gib paypal or I can’t gib money.
Also please don’t add hats. I don’t want to play multiplayer with all the tf2 furries and bronies. The scum of the internet should stick to tf2. =)

The credit island is an amazing idea..! Anyway, today I hope to find some demonstration video or something like that… I hope you guys uploads the photos of the new studio and give us some news about the prototype.

I love the idea, but I’m a bit unsure about the achievement thing. The problem with that is there would become an achievement accessible by only some people. :/ Then again, it will encourage more people to donate in the next 6 days… but also, this means there *will* be achievements? :D Any ideas, yet, on what any of them will be? I’m hoping for things like defending an attack with no bricktron fatalities, this would encourage people to keep trying harder and harder to get a better defended castle.

Do I get on the Credit Island if I buy the game not with Kickstarter but with the other way you are trying to get working?

Makes me think of cereal. Should be called “lucky charms” island.

*takes off glasses* mother of god….

Cant wait for this game to come out seems its what i have been waiting for.

I’m so glad I bought the game! cannot wait to get the prototype!

This is going to be the first game where I’m actually excited to see the credits. Great idea!

Uh, only 4 days to go. I sure hope they get the paypal thing running.
Not complaining, anyone who followed Project Zomboid knows how complicated that stuff is.
I’m just hoping i will get to back this Project, i really don’t want to miss out on that.

when will the BETA be released to us?

you guys are awesome – very original credit concept + game in general
keep up the good work guys I know you’ll get far in the gaming business!
can’t wait to play Castle Story!

This is a really great idea! Looking forward to this game.

I just realized, just after paying (PayPal) it never asked me for a name. I figure maybe it’s because I payed after the Kickstarter ended, but the beta registration page said “Get your name in the game.” “This is precisely the same reward tier as in the Kickstarter.” Am I missing something?

Best way of showing credits I have come across, simple but awesome idea.

I can see you guys going a long way in the game industry with idea’s like this, can’t wait to find my own name :) I am so happy I donated to this project I get to play a game I know I will enjoy immensly and I get my name in it I feel like a kid at christmas.

Thanks so much guys.

Will people that bought through paypal get their names in?

Sounds fucking amazing :D definitely have to check out Credit Island superb work!
Also, will the tutorial videos for Castlestory be done in this style? :D
