[pm1109]

Comes out in September only.Thats a long wait indeed.
So this will be part of Season 6 than. Think I will just buy the season 6 pass than when available.

I have a feeling this kickstarter will go down to the wire!

Oops... Nice find!

There was a WOW on the playfield which would make it Pin Up the add a ball version.

Ten-Up has the WOW too. The arrows pointing to the droppies look closer to the ones in the video, to me, than the ones on Pin-Up. It's a lovely playfield but I think I like King Pin a little more.

Either way, I'd be happy to see this one done

Warning: Nerdy post below

A good indicator is how well it does after day 2.

It might sound a bit strange since people discover kickstarters during the whole campaign and nothing is written in stone, of course.

But usually a kickstarter will need at least to reach 20 - 25% by the end of day 2.

By the end of day 2 statistics:

Twilight Zone: ca 19 000 Goal = 55 000 Total = 77 499
Star Trek TNG: ca 20 000 Goal = 45 000 Total = 52 137
Terminator 2: ca 6 000 Goal = 59 000 Total = 62360
Addams: ca 33 000 Goal = 97640 Total = 115 275

The only one we can compare with this kickstarter, in regards to popularity is perhaps Terminator 2 and that was a strange kickstarter. Had no chance at all to reach its goal, until ca in the middle of the campaign, when Farsight added the Beta tester tier
to the awards
I would say that if nothing special happens during this campaign, it will need at least 10 000 by the end of day 2. Preferably a little more.

PS! I used Kicktraq for reference, but kicktraq has its own day cycles and does not take into account when, during the day the project started, so nothing here is 100 % accurate (a good example of this is term 2. It shows 0 for day 1 so I used data for day 2 and 3 on that one)

Here's a link to the Kicktraq page for those who are interested - I pretty much lived there during the TAF KS!!

https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1067367405/pinball-arcade-doctor-who/

I've kicked in $20. That gives me the Pro version on Android and iOS, since I'll be getting the Steam Pro version with my Season 6 pass. There's nothing above $20 that really makes any kind of sense - FS absolutely need to up their game, otherwise they won't be getting those upper-tier backers. Look at how much they pulled in with the $100 and $150 tiers for TAF so backers could get their hands on TAF Gold. Nothing like that this time.

They need to add a beta testing tier. Put that on the $100 tier and I'll consider jumping up. Until then... I stand pat.

I'm really disappointed we're not getting the Simpsons instead.

Plus your name as a BRONZE backer!!!!

Another Kick-starter? Really? Just cover the 54K license fee and recoup your investment in millions of tables sales

This will allow you to release the table sooner then Sept 2016!

 

[pm1109]

Maybe a new round of Beta Testers like they did in the Terminstor 2 Kickstarter could be the go if everything slows down later.Anyways a very good start so far (over $8500 so far)

 

[Bowflex]

The amount needed to raise is oddly specific. Usually it's just 54,000 or 45,000 or 103,000. I wonder why such an exact amount this time.

A surplus of $17,636 was applied to the total amount. The original total is $72,000 without the surplus.

About to hit 10,000. It's doing better than I thought. Very nice

 

[Snorzel]

Nice find, thanks for sharing. I will not donate but will buy it and hope it comes out. The more I see of this one the more I want to play it. Things are looking great so far, but it seems things always start real strong then die down before a final push at the end.

 

[Crawley]

Here's two other ideas for the $100+ tiers that are pretty empty.

- Doctor Who themed UI (for new UI)
- beta access for Stern app

 

[pm1109]

Definately out if the blocks quickly.Hopefully this pace can continue for a while yet.Maybe even reach the target in 2 to 3 weeks.

Just noticed http://www.doctorwhonews.net gets over 400,000 views a month, but can find no way of contacting them to tell them about this, would be great if we could get an article on the main page.

Also shout outs on the official Doctor Who twitter account (@bbcdoctorwho), facebook account (https://www.facebook.com/DoctorWho) plus websites http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/ & http://www.doctorwho.tv/ seem like the most obvious places to start telling people about the Kickstarter.

Also contacted Kotaku UK and Kotaku US to see if they'll do an updated article on Farsight Studios and TPA.
