I've seen this one for a while now and have been meaning to give it a shot, so I backed tonight (unfortunately, only at $25 since all my spare cash is going to a remodel). Downloaded the "Teaser" (which is more like a full-fledged singleplayer demo, if you ask me), and I must say, I'm impressed. Probably moreso at this stage than D:U when it first hit early access.

My only reservation is that maybe it feels a bit too Descent-like... Which, ya know, is great for me and all the other folks wanting a truly Descent-like singleplayer experience, but I'm still hoping they'll try to set it apart a little bit down the road if it successfully funds.

With all the work that's gone into the teaser, I'm beginning to wonder if development will continue, even if just for the singleplayer campaign. It seems like they're not relying on the KS as much as they're using it as a marketing tool. $300K was a bit low to begin with, and they don't seem too worried about it being kinda on the ropes. I don't think this would have any trouble selling on Steam, though.

Man need to get some more pledges! Wish I had more to dump into it.

If you guys haven't had a chance to check out the playable demo, it feels awesome. Felt just like jumping back into the cockpit of the Pyro in D1/D2. For being fairly early in its development stage still, I'm impressed by its feedback and handling. The UI so far is minimalist and I hope it stays that way, I don't like having a bunch of unnecessary clutter on the screen.

Man I'm super pumped for this so figured I'd post another new update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/revivalprod/overload-the-ultimate-six-degree-of-freedom-shoote/posts/1514273

They've added some early VR support and done some rough cockpit design. Don't have a headset to try it out myself but it looks pretty neat. You can download a VR demo here: http://media.revivalprod.com/OverloadVRTester.zip

There's gonna be a 24-hour livestream tommorow, I'll probably be hanging out on there for a bit as ArtOfShred. Good time to ask the dev team questions and get involved! Hope to see some of you guys on there!

I see they've exceeded $220,000, so they're getting closer to that 300,000 goal. Fingers crossed!

Seems like they like to use game names for their cheats this time around...

D2Disciple · « **Reply #50 on:** March 10, 2016, 04:01:34 PM »

And they're about to cross the $250,000 Mark. Word on the street is that the sizeable German fanbase is collecting money to make a big pledge tonight, since individual credit/debit cards are pretty rare in Germany.

This thing might actually happen...

Checkor put down $1000. Not sure about the others

Too bad about the drama between DU and Overload fans. There is already a clear divide in the fanbase. It was bound to happen I guess. Can't we all just get along?

It's silly, cuz even the devs of the two games are friendly -- Descendent actually made a pledge to Overload's kickstarter if I'm not mistaken.

See if this spreads before they give them away...
INFERNO - Invincibility (already announced on livestream)
BOMBCATS - give weapons/ammo
GIGATRON - slo-mo mode

No freakin' way. We're at 301K and counting with an hour to spare.

Hunter · « **Reply #55 on:** March 11, 2016, 06:23:20 AM »

Exciting stuff! Watched the last 6-7 hours of the stream and the funding went up REALLY fast toward the end

Power level OVER THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND!!!

Scyphi · « **Reply #57 on:** March 11, 2016, 07:04:56 AM »

Good golly Miss Molly, they've done it!

And here I was, genuinely thinking they weren't going to make it for awhile there. Silly me.

Pumo · « **Reply #58 on:** March 11, 2016, 08:21:31 AM »

Yesss, they made it! It's a good day to celebrate for the resurgence of the 6DOF genre.

I got to admit that for a while I didn't think they'd make it. Awesome that they did. Now the hard part... waiting a year for it to be released.
