What about a YT channel, where you talk about the changes and ideas in the game, maybe do a quick game every once in a while?

[quote=“youtoo, post:50, topic:1554”]So what does the kickstarter really mean? If you guys are professional programmers the amount of money that kickstarter will bring in will be a fraction of what you get working.

The kickstarter means we can get a developer enough money to survive on to work solely on Cataclysm for a year. Yes, it will be a fraction of what he makes now and what he could make. I don’t think anyone is going to decide to work on Cataclysm for the money - it’s because he wants to, and this means he can. We’re looking for around 2k - 2.5k a month which is, I think, achievable, if not for a year then at least a half year, and quite a bit of progress can be made in that time.[/quote]

Exactly. Besides, plenty of decent programmers around who can’t get such a high paying job because they live in a poor country/don’t have the piece of paper that says they have the experience they have. Personally, I’d instantly take the chance to work on something fun like cataclysm fulltime, even if it just barelly covers living expenses.

If you need a French translation, I can help with that. Native French speaker here.

Drakasin · 2013-06-08T19:24:49.000Z

If you’ll ever have a support for multiple languages, I COULD (if I’ll have the time and patience) make a Czech translation.

nadia911 · 2013-06-11T18:33:57.000Z

I could make a Spanish traslation, maybe

Gameboon · 2013-06-19T09:15:26.000Z

Hey there,

I quickly scanned this thread and was wondering, will we be able to back this by paypal? I mention this because paypal isn’t available for Kickstarter, so usually the companies try to have paypal-backing as an alternative somehow.

Also, although there will most likely be almost no interest in having it translated into Dutch, if there’s enough people who want it I could help with that. Same goes for a Japanese translation (don’t count on that one being well done though).

Pthalocy · 2013-06-19T09:31:41.000Z

I asked about Paypal somewhere before, and the general sentiment was “yeah, kickstarter doesn’t use paypal, also they kind of eat your money during transaction fees. Try Amazon as an alternative.”

Whiiiich I still need to actually do.

Gameboon · 2013-06-19T11:52:08.000Z

Yeah that’s why I asked, can’t use amazon actually. No access to a credit card. Ah well.

GlyphGryph · 2013-06-19T13:49:06.000Z

You don’t need a credit card to use Amazon, it can be hooked up the same way Paypal does, to a bank account.

Mate · 2013-06-19T14:10:53.000Z

It didn’t accept Maestro Card last I tried.

Slax · 2013-06-19T14:22:17.000Z

Amazon’s pretty problematic when it comes to card payment. Might have to contact your bank.

Mate · 2013-06-19T14:24:15.000Z

I think it just doesn’t support debit cards outside the US. Neither did PayPal until a few months ago.

Pthalocy · 2013-06-19T17:58:06.000Z

Paypal’s accepted debits outside the US for more than a couple months. I’ve had mine hooked up for - wait. Canada is different than overseas countries, I redact my statement.

My issues came with having to put in checking account numbers when I had a savings account pff. I’m still not sure what wizardry I pulled to get it to work with Paypal, but I never actually contacted my bank.

Mate · 2013-06-19T19:06:09.000Z

I got the e-mail from Maestro Card support 12. November last year.

GlyphGryph · 2013-06-19T19:24:17.000Z

Hook it up directly to your checking account.

Mate · 2013-06-19T19:50:45.000Z

No luck, it says my card number is wrong.

GlyphGryph · 2013-06-19T21:21:38.000Z

If Amazon really isn’t working for you, don’t worry too much. IF we hit our target, we’ll probably do the standard Indiegogo followup for those who can’t/don’t want to use Amazon, and try to reach some more stretch goals. If we don’t make our target, it’s unlikely you would have been able to change that.

Jack_Slinger · 2013-06-20T08:26:23.000Z

I live in the UK and have had a debit card linked to paypal for about a year now.

youtoo · 2013-06-21T15:17:03.000Z

so i take it that you guys wont add features until you get paid right?

i2amroy · 2013-06-21T15:41:52.000Z

youtoo:

If you are talking about stretch goals and whatnot, then yeah, those might take a while.

If you are just referring to normal old features being added, then heck no! I personally plan to keep adding stuff, and besides, only one of us will really be getting any money anyways (the kickstarter just plans to allow him to work full time on it, the rest of us will still be volunteering ours :P).
