7 Days to Die - DayZ meets Minecraft?

You have to pay the lowest amount to be able to get the game. So if they bottom tier is $15, you have to pay at least $15 to get it, yes. You are not charged until after the funding goes through, or if it fails, you aren't charged at all.

The game is also #2 on Steam Greenlight. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=160808204

Kickstarter says "any amount" even $1, that's what confused me, guess that's if I really just wanted to support the game by a little and not care about having the game.

They have a $10 but it's not stated that I will get the full game. only some badge on the forums.

So I guess it's the $15, correct me if I'm wrong

I have a feeling you would like SourceForts.

There is a $5 tier that doesn't give you the game, it only gives you a badge on their forums. You can actually pledge as much as you want, you don't have to stick to the tiers. You can pledge $1 if you wanted, you just won't get any reward at all. You have to pledge at least $15 to get a copy of the game.

That is correct, you have to pledge at least $15 to get a copy of the game when it is finished. Any less than that and you won't get the finished game.
 
By lowest amount I meant lowest amount they say. I figured it was kinda obvious anyways, but yeah
 
I'm just going to throw this out there, I hate stretch goals. Does anyone pledge more because there's a stretch goal?
 
I doubt it but people can buy it after the Kickstarter closes and they usually still strive for the stretch goals. Case in point: Prison Architect matched its base requirement a long time ago and has passed many/most stretch goals as well. The same happened to Star Citizen. If these are honest people, more money means a better product in the end. The base amount is really just what they feel is necessary to make a sellable product. Once it starts selling, the stretch goals become much easier to achieve.

In some cases, only those who invest before it is marketed get access to the stretch goal content.

It clearly says at $15 or more you get the game. It clearly says at $5 or more you only get access to the forums. If people don't know how to read that's not really my problem...:ohwell:
 
I mean, I know why stretch goals are there and I like them in that sense, I just mean when there's that one stretch goal you really want, but you don't want to pledge $100,000 just to get it.

I suppose whether or not post-sales count towards goals depends on the creator.
 
Spread the word--encourage others to invest in it/buy it (after the alpha is out). That's how these projects reach stretch goals.

Yeah, stretch goals aren't a binding agreement but they'll have a lot of pissed off people if they don't keep their word.
 
Hell, Kickstarter isn't a binding agreement. You might not end up getting anything...it's up to the people to deliver the promise. It's just like investing big money in a small company...if it doesn't take off and everybody leaves, you're kinda screwed.

Correct, that is what is causing the confusion, a lot of people assume the lowest tier gets the game.

Not technically, but watch out for class-action lawsuits. :p

When you pay someone and expect something in return and never get it, you definitely have grounds to sue. That threat is usually enough to keep them honest.

They're over $100k now, but 100k is a lot in 2 weeks. I'm curious how many people have donated via PayPal. Hopefully it gets funded. Here is a gameplay video made by a Youtuber they gave the game to early:

Actually they need 89k still a lot but still. $111,045 has been pledged so far.

At the time of the posting it was 100k. They have raised 10k over last night and 10k today. It is steadily moving and there is generally a surge at the end. This also does not include PP donations and those will be added to the final total if needed.

Yeah keeps going up all the time so people are putting money on it continuously just will have to wait see if it's enough.

Seems to be updated much more often than the kick starter site which i think is bad and should update much more often as it makes it look bad.

EDIT: it finally updated says 112k on kickstarter now it was showing me 100k 20 minutes or so ago.
 
when do you think they will be sending out the Alpha release of it for the ones who payed ?.. Asking as i just put a $35 pledge on it....
 
It ends in 2 weeks, they said August, so I'm going to assume very soon after the Kickstarter ends.

Where are you seeing that it is #2 on green light? I looked through about 20 most popular lists and didn't see it on any of them. Did you mean to say that it's #2 on your personal queue?

They said it on their Facebook somewhere...now I don't see it. I don't even see how you sort shit on Greenlight, there's no definite list or anything that I see.

"As of this morning we are now the number 2 game on Steam Greenlight of 1,399 games racking up almost 39,000 yes votes in 16 days! "

The only comparison I see between this and minecraft is shit graphics.. and atleast said shit graphics fit minecraft.

Hope the donors get their moneys worth, but I'm not expecting much.
