RE: Interstellar marines, kickstarter and a running man - WALP - 11-13-2012
In Denmark and other scandinavian countries we have this thing known as welfare state(at least thats what its known as in Denmark) which means free schools, free health care, economical support during education (like 1000$ a month, free care for the elder and many other things, which is payed with high taxes.
Im not saying that everyone earns as much as 50,000 dollars a year but its certainly not enough to pay more then one person, since that would mean 25,000 a year for 2 people.

Quote: ZPS has said that 600,000$ is the abselute minimum and after all thats only enough to have like 10-15 people employed for a year. Imagine if they had gone for something much lower so that it would be more realistick for them to make the kickstarter, would it be realistick that they could make the game? no, and many people would be dissapointed and loose faith in the company forever. The kickstarter is important but the game is more important.No, no, you misunderstood - I didn't mean that they should attempt the same project with a smaller sum of money. That would be the worst thing they could do!
I meant that they should be able to scale the project down to a more reasonable size, so that it could be achieved with less people and a smaller sum of money. Throw away the fancy bits that make it expensive. Focus on whats really innovative about the idea for the moment, not on some "AAA-blingbling". Maybe release it chapter-wise - whatever. Just don't go for the big half-a-million-mark right away because that feels overambitious and like they lost their grip on reality.
