OKAY I'm in.

(with their usual outfits... what's with the arm warmers, though?)

Still. I'm in. I don't even play games but I'm in for the merchandise and the hopes that there might be an anime...?

I believe the festival is in a differnt country so the style is completely differnt(their refering to the country, not the the characters. The characters come from very european inspired countries.). Tiana's home country has mild weather, and The Prince's country is very cold so that would probably explain the arm warms.

I like this a lot actually...But seriously these reward tiers are pretty darn horriable.

You need a lot more higher priced tiers among a bunch of other stuff like...I don't know a physical copy of the game, how about we start there.

@Tanteikingdomkey

Got to agree,(I still yolo'd the 140 tier, I think I was the 5th backer on it lol.) but it sounded like they were working on getting things like the soundtrack included as a reward. ^^;; I think they started the kickstarter before they were completely ready but they have been listening to fans! Originally they only offered 50 of the 140$ top tier and they expanded it to 200 after people said they needed more. It's still only been 2 days, They are probably working on making better tiers now.

I honestly was pessimistic about this kickstarter for that reason, but I want to hope. So I'm trying to be optimistic that it's just a rough start and they'll get their act together at the same time listening to fans.

I was one of the first 10 to back to the 140 tier, and just upped my pledge to the new $300 tier. Happy Valentine's Day to my beautiful virtual men, from me xD

This kickstarter seemed to get a lot of momentum at first, making over 20k in the first 24 hours, but it feels like it's losing steam. I really hope things go well. I'd love to see more otome legally available here. Though this might be more successful if they'd picked a series that has an anime already, like BroCon or Diabolik Lovers. :/

I was one of the first 5 $140 backers and I've been considering upping my pledge to either 180 or 300, but I thought I'd wait a little longer because they talked about adding more things soon so I thought I'd wait and see (but the 300 teir is going pretty fast last I checked 15 backers after not even a day).

Even if the kickstarter loses a little steam as long as it ends strong too it should be okay, it was getting pretty close to 1/3 of the way there in less than a week.

I don't know about Brocon or Dialovers I feel like they are too problematic for westerners but maybe the anime would have helped. I actually think Beast Master and Prince is a really good choice in terms of content maybe not in terms of being well know. On the other hand I think they'd have been more successful if they split the game up with the first game being the main goal and snow bride the stretch goal. The goal seems like a lot of money at first but when you consider it's the game and fandisc it's not that bad.
