Just… just take all my money, strange fuzzy thing.

“Hello would you like to donate funds to my new goat friend pretty pretty pretty please? If you do I’ll be your best friend…okay I’ll be your best friend anyways but please give me some money.”

@Background Pony #A9E0  
There is a very good reason for that.

I have no idea why, but I love the line “Right away, new friend~!”

Is it wrong i read paprikas dialogue with pinkies voice?, it really fits!….

And it happened! It seems Paprika really will do anything when she decides she likes you
 
….So was anyone else startled when she showed up at your door asking you to donate? (Hee hee)

I didn’t think they’d get it. But they did. Awesome!

And lo, the ancient prophecy of Alpacan lore was just fulfilled.

They actually just reached the goal five minutes ago. Their Stream’s chat went crazy

5 hours left and we are at $558,064. Just $2,000 more and the goat will get her stage and story mode. We are getting there! Just a little bit more! Things are getting exciting on the final stretch!

@zonic18game
 
That would be awesome

@platypusmac  
Now let’s see if we can raise an additional $2,000 to get the goat our as a character for the retail.

Mentlegen… the goat is reached.

“How many bits you got to find out?”

Are you sure that’s not a griffon in there?

@zippysqrl  
yes, that is a rapidly growing sentiment these days.

@Blissey1  
well in that case..  
Indie 4 lyfe.

@zippysqrl  

 
sorta kinda, but in terms of being indie or not, having a publisher isn’t just a source of funding, but also someone who, like i mentioned earlier, controls certain aspects of the game. Like release dates and such.
 
the whole point of being “indie” is that the developer has complete control over the development of their project. they set their own deadlines, they get to choose what kind of game it is, they get to choose what kind of plot it has, etc.
 
under a publisher like Activision or something, they’re gonna do stuff like demand that you have the game ready in time for a Christmas release, and the developer just has to suck it up and do it because the publisher has their money. and there have been many games that fell far short of what they could be because they got rushed out for a holiday release before they were really finished.
 
so that’s the whole point of being indie- you have full creative and managerial control of the project.

@Pagan  
Well, i’d say it’s gotten quite a bit of attention, wouldn’t you?  
We’ll have to wait and see how large it gets, hopefully people don’t lose interest.
 
@Blissey1  
Weeeeeellll they don’t need a publisher, they can be their own publisher.(also doesn’t indiegogo count as a publisher?)

This reminds me of the Stanley’s Lecture video.

@zippysqrl  
actually it only means developed independently of a publisher.
 
you can still have monetary support and be indie, that monetary support just can’t be coming from some big company that dictates deadlines and such for the game.

@zippysqrl  
I meant like the scale of the game indie games tend to be small and not get as much attention.

@Pagan  
“indie” means developed without monetary support, so yes. WRONG

@zippysqrl  
Ah thank you for explaining it seemed like all this money was just to unlock one character for public use and that was it.
 
I take it this is going to be a fairly substancial game and not just a indie title?
