I have given them 50 of my Earth Euros.

It dawned on me as I submitted that I spend more money on Kickstarter games than I do on "AAA" games as I now wait 2 months before I buy them new

I've found I tend to fund (as I've yet to see one complete) a game every two months or so; which is funny because I don't buy games in steam sales "because I won't have time to play them" but I keep on funding Kickstarter games :P

I reeeeeally hope they get the destructible environments stretch goal. Thinking of upping my pledge. First time iv ever funded anything on kickstarter, it's kind of addictive checking the pledge counter - i can only imagine what it's like for the devs!

They're well on the way, and I'm sure Paypal donations will help get them over the edge if they don't screw up spectacularly.

I'm so excited!

Don't worry, by the time the games are released I'm sure you'll have your backlog cleared :pac:

Well at only 13k away with 20h to go I'd very surprised if they failed to be honest.

Sarky · 28-07-2013 06:45AM

There's a good £6,500 racked up on the Paypal end of things too, they're really closer to 6-7K away.

May have to switch to Paypal for the pledge myself actually, The Kickstarter is really badly timed with my pay day. Another day or two of grace and I won't have to survive on Tesco brand noodles for a fortnight...

mikeruurds · 28-07-2013 08:39AM

I just jumped in at the £60 level for two copies. I've also been bitten by the Kickstarter bug. I've backed about 10 games in the last 3 months!

This one is strange as I didn't see it until today. If it wasn't for this thread I would've missed it. Thanks OP!

Nody · 28-07-2013 02:36PM

Enviromental destruction confirmed as completed; now it's time to push for new factions

Nody · 29-07-2013 08:06AM

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's funded; sadly did not hit the 500k target by the looks of it though

Nody · 29-07-2013 01:54PM

Good news for anyone who missed to pledge; they will leave their paypal pleding site open to let people pledge until the game goes live (and help meet more stretch goals; yay!).

Paypal funding is still ongoing, sure you can still back project eternity through paypal. Im sure they will hit it at any rate, they have just under 40k to get it.

Sarky · 01-08-2013 02:57AM

Aye, went with Paypal in the end to allow for payday shenanigans. It was worth it too; I haven't logged in to Paypal in ages, so I was surprised to find I'd a little cash still sitting in there. Made for a nice little 'discount' on my collector's edition to be.

That, and the relatively quiet backers forum has some decent content on it for now. Thanks to that I am now aware of Abducted By Sharks, who produce some really quite lovely dystopian future style music. So it all worked out for everyone in the end. And it looks like they're somewhere around the new factions/areas stretch goal including Paypal. Huzzah!

So they've posted up a pre-alpha video of this, looks like it's on the right track.

Skerries · 15-03-2014 02:52PM

I want to see the Gauss gun

CatInABox · 01-10-2014 06:18PM

Another pre alpha video, this time with added gameplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kw0ruzLrYw

Still looks like it's on the right track.

YouSavedMyLife · 02-10-2014 12:04AM

That video has me very excited

pixelburp · 02-10-2014 12:32AM

It really does look like Syndicate 2014, doesn't it? Even in this early form it looks the business; the sneaky option seems a tad fiddly, but hey, it's early-alpha so no doubt much will change.

Sarky · 02-10-2014 10:14AM

Ooh, that's looking good. Framerate looked a bit low but meh, it's pre-alpha.

Sarky · 09-10-2014 11:22AM

Just got an email saying they're releasing the pre-alpha today to backers on the beta tier. I *think* that includes me, but I'll have to get home from work before finding out. The video from last week must have been quite popular.

Edit: checked my Paypal emails, yup, that includes me. I shall have a go tonight.

CatInABox · 05-12-2014 09:35AM

This hits steam early access on the 11th, looking forward to getting my steam key.

Ugh as much as I hate early access, I will be getting this.

11-12-2014 02:39PM

Out tomorrow. Get hype

Not going to play it until it's finalized completely; don't want to ruin the Syndicate experience by overplaying it in early access!

Same here

11-12-2014 04:19PM

In a perfect world, that would be the case for me. I absolutely hate early access games but I'm too excited about this.

CatInABox · 11-12-2014 06:28PM

I'll give it a shot, and if I think it requires any polish, then I'll hold off.

YouSavedMyLife · 11-12-2014 07:59PM

My first and last early access was Starbound.

Never forgive, never forget...

Drexel · 11-12-2014 08:03PM

Played an early version of this for about an hour two weeks ago. Really has te syndicate feel I have to say. Didn't play too much as I didn't wanna spoil bilut so far so good.

Oh and the music is brilliant

Rust, DayZ, Castle Story.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me; fool me three times....

This will be the fourth :pac:

CatInABox · 12-12-2014 10:44AM

Still needs an awful lot of polish, but the basics are there and are solid.

Will wait until it's done, and I'm definitely looking forward to it now.
