Grant - What would you say the differences are between writing a soundtrack for a developer such as Rare, and an indie development team such as Prismatic Games? Are there more or less limitations?

Prismatic - To start, I place this game right up there above Mario Kart hype-wise. However, I imagine you're slightly underwhelmed by the struggles you've faced in trying to meet your goal. In your heart of hearts, do you believe you'll fund in time? What do you believe has been your biggest issue in fundraising, and what would you change if (god-forbid) you were to fail and have to retry?

The media's coverage could definitely have been better, though the support from GoNintendo and those of the same ilk has been great to see. I'm genuinely gobsmacked that the slew of platformers on Kickstarter can fund within days, while an RTS, a first for the Wii U, could struggle this much. I can't help but agree with the article you guys posted concerning Kickstarter and the popularity of nostalgic games.

sigh

I've got everything crossed you guys will fund, and I'll probably bump my donation up for the fourth time if you're cutting it close. Don't give up guys - considering Nintendo aren't particularly using the Gamepad right now, we pretty much need you guys.

;)

Don't worry about it - as I said, you're the only ones putting the gamepad to use right now, and your concept does it so well that it'd be terrible to see you give up if the first kickstarter doesn't pay off. Got 100% faith in this game and have no doubt that when it gets released it'll get a fantastic reception.

Prismatic: Is it significantly more expensive to develop online multiplayer, rather than online single player? I can't help but feel online multiplayer would serve as a major draw to Wii U fans, considering Nintendo's rather lackluster show of online for the console so far.

Haha, a games developer I am not - I assumed it must have been cost related, thanks for the info :)
