How the heck did Katana Clan win? It seemed like Whip was smearing all the Sword Clans for a good while.

[Lelygax]

I was saying since the beggining that I wanted and it possibly would surpass Yooka-Laylee and then Mighty No. 9

Does this make it like the most backed game on kickstarter or something?

Project Eternity is still ahead of it at $3,986,929 (362%) at its final moments (though with PayPal pledges we might have passed that), and Torment: Tides of Numenera broke the 4mil mark with $4,188,927 (465%). I dunno if there were any that passed those, though. Bloodstained still trumps them percentage-wise, almost a whopping 300% more than the others.

IGA boss... Excellent.

i'm so glad that Iga's not going to appear as a tentacle monster in the game, that scared me for a moment.  i sure hope the Iga boss is like the one from his kickstarter pitch and swordorwhip.com.  it'd be so fitting for a kickstarter backer exclusive boss.  hopefully, he'll have a few Dracula inspired moves, and maybe he'll show off his drunken walk special ability.

And we NEED Iga to voice the boss, too!

IGA's being a boss? I can just imagine all those people out there taking their angst out on him for messing up CV with plot holes and inconsistencies, lol 

Putting that aside I have to wonder what he's going to be? Just a sprite of himself wielding a leather whip while wearing his Fedora? Or perhaps they have something else in mind for him...

Project eternity is not ahead of it.

You aren't counting the PayPal money in the updates. It's over 4 million now. We are on our way to 5mill!

PayPal is over 127 thousand

[Neobelmont]

Yeah! Clan Katana, we won!
PS: Dat Iga boss

I don't believe this I can't believe this. I just cannot.

[Lelygax]

Maybe IGA will try to kill us while drunk, because we didn't paid his vampire murderer bill. Instead of holy water he will throw old Nokia cellphones that contain explosive batteries.

You're forgetting to count their paypal money too...

After all, this will be the game that will set a new record on Kickstarter if it continues growing. Mighty No. 9 got  $4.03 million in funding ($3.85 million from Kickstarter, $186,380 from Paypal) behind only two other single-game projects: inXile's Torment: Tides of Numenera ($4.43 million) and Obsidian's Project Eternity ($4.16 million).

I really want to know what the $5 million stretch goal is.

...Both of you missed the part where I said:

(though with PayPal pledges we might have passed that)

I say might because I don't have a clue as to how much is pledged through PayPal.

So it's pretty clear now that we're passed $4,000,000, so that Online Challenge Mode is ours! But if the PayPal is indeed past $127,000, then I think it's pretty much safe to say that the new character is ours, as well.

5 millions for new game +? Really? 

[The Most Curious Thing]

nah, we got that automatically for 50 backer achievements; the $5 mil goal hasn't been revealed yet (but it probably will be in the next 20 hours, before the 48-hour mark is hit)

Oh, ok. I suppose it's alright, then. Thanks for the correction!
