Newgrounds: The Forsaken City on Kickstarter. Just seven days remain.

Jeez... That's a lot of money, and not a lot of time. Think we can make it? I'd donate, but I'm bled dry. I'm eating nothing but Top Ramen these days.

I really want to see that Newgrounds Forsaken City, Tom. I also want to afford school. I'll think about it.

Perhaps this project may turn to better funding(s) if we just follow this XKCD comic.

I would love to contribute to Newgrounds Forsaken City but unfortunately kickstarter thinks the whole world runs on credit cards.. I simply cant pay with paypal or something :/

Dammit NG, give kickstarter your money!

What do you mean "as Edd wanted it to."? Did he die or give up doing flash?

Cool

Hope everything goes well with this and the outcome, good luck to all who enter.

I was active on here around that time.

The NG series looks very cool. If I had a dime to my name I'd get a copy. That being said I'm almost at the point of starting a kickstarter to keep me off the streets.

This sounds pretty greedy. I read what they're using the money for, and it's for nothing more than to pay their own personal salary. $18,500 for the lead animator for 4 episodes. 18500/ 4 = 4625 PER EPISODE. Fuck that guy, fuck him with a sharp stick. Profiting off a man's death? Fucking disgusting.

Well... I don't know how long it takes them to make these, but if that one guy alone is making one episode - let's say it's a ten minute long episode and it takes him two months to complete - that's $2,312.50 for that, which really doesn't seem to be all that much, even just for one guy.

Whoops, I meant to say that that is $2,312.50 per month if he takes two months to make one episode, which seems pretty reasonable.

Forsaken City needs a miracle to get funded.

Broken link? Or maybe they called it off?

Also, I think the issue with the Forsaken City guys is that they are very talented, but have very little reputation and little to actually show that's on the internet and thus don't have a real fan base built up behind them. I realize to raise the thousands needed for a kickstarter, you really either need an idea that is generalized and people can get behind, or a dedicated following for your personal projects. The Forsaken City has neither of these, so I don't have much faith enough money can be raised for it.

Its a shame, but perhaps these guys need to do several shorter term projects for the internet, something that doesn't cost thousands, just to build up some reputation and really show what they can do. Its an awful ambitious project for a bunch of relative nobodies, so its unlikely to really succeed, but I have faith that they could do something really amazing. It's just that their own anonymity is against them.

Got this message when trying to visit the Eddsworld Indiegogo page.

As Tom stated, they only want the exact amount of $50,000(?). So I think he then removed it, for the reason being they couldn't profit off of it. (They're donating the money they make off of the videos.)

Never mind. He said the fund raiser has been suspended for whatever reason.
He's working on fixing it..

You know, if you guys had made a bit more effort to pitch the kickstarter somewhere from 30 to 40 days ago to now, it might have a bit higher chance to suceed.
