100 backers and counting so far !!!

At this rate of financing, a total of 982 backers would push it over the edge.

"£60,000 goal is a lot of money for a game creation tool, I am not saying I know what it takes to build a game engine but to me it looks like a lot.

Why so much?"

For a £60,000 goal is a lot of money for a game creation tool, I am not saying I know what it takes to build a game engine but to me it looks like a lot.

Why so much?

Actually, this is a fairly modest amount given the work to be done.

I'm very excited to see what happens. First though, I have a few questions that are important to me:

1) With player and HUD settings, will you be able to allow for armor/shield stats as well as disable the lives system?

2) In the stretch goals, an entity creator was mentioned. Will this include being able to create characters and weapons?

3) I'm sure others are wondering this, but will this be a free update, or something you have to buy like the model packs?

Now I'm not TGC and I dont know exactly what they have planned but a drag and drop entity maker where you can create chars and guns is a bit off a sidetrack to fantasyland. I highly doubt something like that would ever see daylight... I'm pretty sure that with "entity maker" TGC ment a better import/conversion pipeline for your custom content. -> made in 3D software.

Quote: "3) I'm sure others are wondering this, but will this be a free update, or something you have to buy like the model packs?"


Again, anything is possible, but I'm 99,99% sure that this will be brand new software... and a rather expensive one if they manage to include all their goals.

@Gibba gobba

Pledge 25 GBP and you'll get a download version of Reloaded.
Pledge 30 GBP and you'll get a DVD box version.
Pledge 40 GBP and you'll get all the awards listed from 10-30 plus all beta releases for testing.

Would any of that be worth pledging?

From what I understand there will be a demo version available. So if you don't pledge you can get the demo before purchasing to see if you really want it. Of course if there aren't enough pledges then there won't be FPSC Reloaded. Just something to think about.

THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why. For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.

I wanted to know what the details are on if this is an update or a whole project. I already have the original FPSC, so does that mean I get this as an update or do I have to purchase it separately, or what? I would like to hear on this from TGC.

I reeeallly want to get the FPSCR beta's, but that will cost me around $88 in NZD. That's a fair bit for me, but I so want to see this happen.

I would pledge the 5000 pound option but . . .

It would be awesome if we got to the £120,000 stretch target - we could potentially make co-op campaigns and game modes similar to Combat Training or Survival Mode from Call of Duty.

I've done my bit by (maybe naughtily) mentioning the fundraising on the TGC Wikipedia page:

Quote: "In November 2012, the company launched a campaign aiming to raise funds for the development of a new version of FPS Creator called "Reloaded", on crowd funding site Kickstarter."


I haven't actually been able to link to it otherwise they'd ban me, but the page gets 15-30 views per day on average so it might generate a pledge over the month, or at the very least some noise.

Then clearly you DO have a credit card or at least a debit card, due to the fact that you need at least a debit card to have a working paypal, and if thats the case, then just use that! otherwise you can purchase pre-paid credit/debit cards at a drug store or similiar.

You have to pledge before December 1st otherwise it doesn't make sense. Also you can pledge now even if you don't have the money because pledges are collected at the end of the funding period and only if the goal is met or surpassed.

@Gibba gobba

You can find the details for each pledged amount on the kickstarter page. If you pledge 25 GBP or more (up to 29.99) you will receive a full version of the FPSC Reloaded as a download. Think of it as a presale of the product.

I life in the netherlands. the problem is that we don't have those prepaid credit cards, also I have an maestro with chip pass. so I can pay outside of the netherlands, but kickstarter doesn't accept it as legit credit card. paypal does

Just sent in my pledge, I'm optimistic this thing will get done. Question though, if the target is not hit, does FPSC Reloaded just get dropped like a bad habit, or will it just delay the development/release of it?

Habits are hard to get rid of most of the time so I'm hoping that it will only delay the development. Of course, I have no insider information about this. I think we just have to be optimistic and I'm sure that's what Lee and Rick are going to focus on, although, like any good businessman I'm sure they have thoughts on this. Though they probably don't want to reveal at this early date. Still 26 days to go.

I agree. I was looking over the list and there are some things i think we can do without if it dont make it to 60 pounds. the improve huds would be one of them.lol the most things fpscr needs is the core things. as far the new characters and weapons go they could just sell them in a model pack and price them higher. for some new scifi weapons model pack I would $30 or more. but this would be good for a back up idea it all fails.

more than what meets the eye

No pledge requirements. I actually got an email saying that I had to send an email to the person in charge of the badges. All I needed to do was give them my full name and forum name.

If you have trashed your junk mail you might want to check the junk mail in case it ended up there for some reason.

I'm also sending you an email with what a copy of what I had received.

The instructions for claiming the badge are on the "Updates" section of the project here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tgc/fps-creator-reloaded/posts/339825 (you will probably only be able to see that page if you have pledged).

donated a 100 squid yesterday, if we get close i may do more, i cant afford it, but this is a one chance to get a really good bit of software that ticks boxes, *i hope the 20 and 25ers can add more too, this is a chance so unstring your purses guys, dont wait for everyone else to do it so you get a bargain,

p.s. it does not have a lot of what i want but i aint moaning about it, and pledging 100pounds, come on dudes lets do it!

* if that is the most you can get then all good and thanks, no insult intended, just trying to get all to get it going better,

an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of game creation!!!

You won't be out in the cold. PhysX has special features that only a PhysX card will support; however, if you don't have PhysX then the features will simply not work. I would assume that the command structure for the developer will allow for using those features. I am also assuming that if the game is calling for one of those special features then it will simply ignore it. Many gamers also do not have a PhysX graphics card so even if the developer does and uses the features, then the gamer will not see the special physics anyway.

If someone else can make this sound clearer (better explanation) then please do so.

Also, and to reiterate, by pledging now (rather than at the end); you are helping the project to get front page attention on the KS site, which would mean more coverage for users that may otherwise not know about FPSC at all. Waiting till later will not help that occur.

To also reiterate another misconception; you will have nothing taken out of your account until (and only if it is a go) December 1st. So if you won't have the money for another couple of weeks; you can still pledge now, without shelling out a dime. You can also simply pledge a single pound right now, and amend your pledge at a later date (before the 1st of December); that will get us closer to front page coverage as well.

Don't let this opportunity slip by. It's possible that the project may go forward without the funding; but it won't happen in the time-frame that it would otherwise, if at all.

With that in mind, I just got my girlfriend (the lovely Jenny Davis) to pledge £10, which is awfully big of her considering FPSC is the primary cause of my ignoring her.
