Xenonauts 2 - Kickstarter in May

I thought it was this week, but maybe it doesn't begin until next week? They did say "provisionally", so I guess we shall see.

Been pushed back a couple of weeks:

Oh, too bad. Thanks for the update!

Probably smart, get all your ducks lined up before launching. Thanks for the news, I was wondering what the delay might be.

Just received the newsletter. Kickstarter will be at 20. of June 14 GMT

Right on, time to line up my precious pennies!

And backed! @HiddenX a news about it would be great

Also a very cool "feature" of the project itself is that you can actually vote on the goals yourself, using this page: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ydf…requested=true

Fully funded already …

Well, that was super-quick, with authority!!

So what order would you vote for the stretch goals? My top 5 would be…

1. reaper hives
2. geoscape situations
3. modular weapons & armor
4. orchestral soundtrack
5. locational injuries

I have GS at #1, and Orchestral soundtrack down at the bottom. Don't quite remember the ones in between…

My guess is they will make all 5 so the vote won't be necessary.

You really think they'll make that much money in the Kickstarter, or you think they'll include it either way?

And there's 8 options, SC just listed his top 5.

Both.

Reaper hives first and foremost, in my opinion. The rest can come in any order afterwards.

I've always found an expansiin of the strategic layer would be the most interesting thing in any X-com-like. That the reboot went the opposite way and made the strategic layer really shallow is it's biggest con to me, I don't have a problem with the streamlined tactical combat at all (except for certain mechanics like Jack-in-the-box enemies which makes moving one step at a time the best and safest approach to combat).

Edit: So yeah, that's why I have Geoscape situations at #1. Got carried away and forgot the point I was going to make…
