Takedown on Kickstarter - only 6 days left

80% funded. 12 hours to go for these guys.

This is tense; I genuinely cannot tell if they're going to make it or not D:

I think they got another 20k in the last 3-5 hours since I last checked! exciting!

When I went to bed yesterday, they had 33 hours to go, with 130k. In that, what 22 hour time span, they got 30k. I want to see them hit the mark, and unless they are a couple of jerks out there waiting until the last few hours to donate that's million bucks, I just can't see it.
 
I'm rooting for these guys, though. I'M ROOTIN HARD!

Notch just tweeted about the project. http://twitter.com/#!/notchThey're going for it but I think unless a huge contribution comes in it is going to fail.

7500 dollar contribution!

Holy Shit I was worried this wouldn't make it at all 6 days ago and they're only 7k off their target now. 
  
Oh god 3 hours to go, this is intense.

COME ON PEOPLE.

Hey just a heads up to giant bombers who care, Takedown has 3 hours and some change to go and is less than 7k short of funding.

If you want to see the project make it now would be the time to throw a few bucks at it.

Edit: 4,657 short as of .... right now. Just to be specific.

They just got 5k in ten minutes, and they are getting more and more by the minute! Total landslide victory!!

Mother of god...

I hope they get this. This is going to be close.

Only 2.3k to go!

Sweet, sweet success.

@clapperdude:

Dude I didn't think it was going to happen looking at it 2 hours ago when they were over 20.5k short.

Edit: Game over, as of right now Takedown is FUNDED!

I'm really happy for them. That must have been nervwrecking to say the least. All these Kickstarters make me feel so happy about the gaming community for once. Let's hope they deliver the goods BUT right now it's some really nice feelgood vibe over all Kickstarter. ^^

I saw that they only needed $4,000 more and felt the sudden, desperate need to donate, but by the time I got my wallet out and refreshed it was well over the goal.

How in the fuck did this happen? They were like 50 grand short 24 hours ago. Apparently a lot of people got the word out pretty late in the game.

Ninjas.

So now the hard part starts, can you leverage $200k of pre-orders (5000 people) for a game that doesn't exist to fund a multi-million dollar video-game?

It's a good answer.

wow that was really fucking exciting!

I'm really happy for all of us I guess :D

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So awesome this made it nice work everyone! Maybe in a year or 2 will finally have a replacement for Raven Shield :)

Now begins the two/three year wait for a game.

A game where $200,000 is even slightly significant to the budget should not take 2-3 years to make.

I funded this, but I don't really know why. I guess I just want to see this game get made.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

I'm trying to find some sort of pattern in successful video game Kickstarters but there's doesn't seem to be any. I mean Takedown has only just reached it's $200,000 goal in the last few hours where as a random indie game (which I backed) with unknown developers gently strolls to $200,000 when it's goal was only a paltry 10K.
