BMX Kickstarter is a go!

Yeah, the editor had some nice customization in it to show off the sandbox nature of design.

The way the funding is going so far through, I think they'll only make it to the 'core' milestone, which isn't bad by any means, but it seems like they wanted to add so much more to the entire game that they won't get to do, unless they want to put up even more of their own money and resources.

It's possible they won't even make the 55k and then there is no game period, which would be sad as fuck.
There has to be one rich bastard gamer out there that wants this game made!

i'm not so convinced by the argument that companies would only support the game if it reached the first milestone. if five big companies would each back the game with 5k dollars (which would be peanuts for a company like we the people, felt, specialized or haro, let alone big shots like monster energy) the game would definitely come to life. that's very well invested pr money in my eyes.

I hope the game does get what it deserves, and apparently, even though things aren't looking so "great" in terms of earnings for their milestones, there's still 18 days to go, which means still a lot more opportunities for them to earn at the very least the first milestone. Not sure how it goes for these kinds of things, but apparently in the last few days for that kickstarter thing, projects like this one get more attention, therefore, more potential money. If only Monster or Redbull or any major company would fund this game, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to even reach their highest milestone of £400k...

Edit: There actually is one person who pledged £5000 or more according to the site. There still is a chance for this game no doubt.

Yeah, the big thing right now is trying to get it noticed by more people.
If it got a mention by a few Pros, ESPN, Mt. Dew, etc you'd see the money pouring in.

I realize theres motivation behind starting a bmx sim type game but getting it off the ground... Why did they make the time to fundraise so short?

[DJMackRacer315]

Man i am so excited for this game. I fully support barspin, not just because they are making this game but because they stepped up to make a bmx game and they are getting the community involved, asking us what we would like to see in the game, and also we cant forget they are an indie team and they barely have support.

I think the thing with kickstarter is only for 30 days or something, I don't think they had the choice to extend it or not, or else I'm sure they would, no doubt...

They didn't even use a 30 day KS. I think they did a 25/26 day fund or something. It was a little odd.

Ah, no idea how KS works, I just thought projects like these are up for 30 days, guess not haha

[Antwan]

Is there really only 30 days for projects? No wonder theres things that looked impossible if thats the case.. thats not much time to get a company off the ground. I would love to see this on console man. Thats too bad.
