Re: TFT live at Kickstarter





Looks like it's down to about 35 buyers per day now.   :/ 


Hardly a meaningful indicator really considering the nature of the thing in its gestalt
The length of an arbitrary kik goal against the time it's taken to get here isn't really a fair metric for much beyond the old fart factor and nostalgia
That the material gets a rebirth is the primary value I see here but from the perspective of a Player and someone exploring production and marketing of such products these days it's fair to say We're not seeing anything flying outta the park and it's possible that some of the "added value" changes could prove detrimental when pulling the scale back to a big picture view where long runs, slow burns and similar processes are plotted
Then again the whole thing could be much adu about moot virtually or maybe it's just Me but to My mind the entirety of the thing makes up a seed and it's the growth that comes from it that concerns the most of My intrest in this none of which is ment to say it's not pleasing to see a relatively smooth campaign go forward not too mention I have a hard time recalling I'm Jay especially when donning My critic's hat and it's crazy to hold anybody to those levels of insanity vested in their work as judgmental benchmarks affecting thumb possitioning but I'm reasonably certain that ziplock bag marketing literally an order of magnitude cheaper than next level boxed/hardback offerings lowered the bar for entry and made for a more inclusive community and one probably ought not bind what hasn't been indexed
Although I must note I dearly love the marginella regardless of the organizational nightmare the style poses it's a "This music speaks to Me thing".

OTOH, I never before saw that list Jay posted of TFT projects that were close to being published!  Wow, that was a LOT of materials.   Wonder if any of it is still extant?  Maybe someone could publish it after all these years...  -- Craig

Some of it is still extent and was published having been twerked for other systems
My steel trap like mind would produce a list here and now if the springs had not rusted out so I'll have to dig that up as I'm also stuck on a stupid smartphone at the moment and any holes left I can plug plus a bit of content not covered in the listings
And there was much rejoicing
