VIDEO UPDATE!!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1438429768/maia/posts/353626
The video update resulted in a significant funding spike, congrats!

I knew gameplay was what was missing from the trailer.
You should add that video to the others in the project's frontpage.

Have done!

Peter Molyneux just started his own Kickstarter for a god game ruh-oh.

We need to have an advertising blitz for this game.

Also today and yesterday were our best days since the initial burst.

Also, here is an image of me boning a robot: http://twitpic.com/bfgmuz  ;)

Wow, I don't know if you meant the double-entendre, but I thought I was in for an inappropriate yet funny picture... 8)

I can't afford to fund at the moment, but I've been following the progress of Maia for quite some time and I desperately hope it manages to tick over the finish line within the next four days!

My major concern, however, is that you won't meet the stretch goals. Some of which could be integral to further success once released. The single-player campaign and robot editor in particular.

I'd urge you, if you do manage to receive minimum funding, to consider including the above two regardless.

I believe it was stated that some stretch goals might make it in despite not being funded, but not as part of the core game. They'd be added after release.

Also, Simoroth, while the tech demo looks rather spectacular, many people have no idea how the gameplay is supposed to work. Maybe post a story of what would be a typical mission, or something like that.

Yeah. Will be working on something very much like that tonight.

The first person view from the imp bots reminds me a lot of... I can't remember the name but there was a game that I think was for the PS1 or PS2 and you had a space station that was in danger of overheating... I just remember playing a demo of it when I was little and it looked kind of like how the game looks there.
