I'm just eating my lunch while watching the forums and kickstarter amount go up. So good. If we are lucky we might even get $6 million, an upgrade to the fight system would be nice.

Wow in like 1 minute since I posted that we needed $20,000 to meet Bloodstained's record, we just went up $5,000!

Now it's $15,000 Peter ;-) :P

Just crawled out of bed. I was expecting to see us break the record about 6 hours from now. I'm not ready yet! This is too early to drink...

I'll be more at ease when we are a fair bit over that official amount. Just in case some withdraw their pledges at the end. Personally, I'm thinking of raising my own pledge before the end and someone I know is just about to choose one of the slightly higher tiers which should help.

We'll get the stretch goals implemented no matter what once they open the paypal option. Do you really think Yu Suzuki won't pull all the stops to fund the game and make it exactly the way he wants? I'm sure that everything will be implemented in the end, even the magic maze. He will keep seeking more funds until he gets it.
Don't worry about it.

Pretty sure everyone will harass him and Cedric about that Paypal option once the KS ends. They'll have no choice but to oblige in the end :P
