Hell I'll throw a few bucks your way, this game is shaping up to be a pretty sweet package. And I don't even like card based games (but have friends that do, so I'll send them your way).

Thanks a bunch! If you don't mind, spreading the word would be a huge help too!

I'll spread the word, help kick the starter and potentially cosplay as a character once the game gets huge!

It's probably because of all the connections. ie it's a game that's been around a bit and has famous names attached to it. People on the internet jump to conclusions without needing any reason.

The steam community seems to have the most positive reaction to my game so far!

I think the key here is that it forces people to actually watch the gameplay before coming to a decision.

It's shocking how little traction this has over at SA. Sadly, I have no suggestions on how to improve the situation.

It's a little disheartening, seeing how supportive SA was of my past projects. I mean, I was given the thumbs up to post about my little projects like the Minecraft server, but can't even post a thread about Alteil: Horizons unless it gets traction on the kickstarter subthreads. To top it off - there are people we know in real life having their own games plugged that are similar and borrow mechanics from us (Solforge, etc) that are stickied.

On the bright side, my fellow devs at the Festival of Indie games are showing support and are thinking of ways to help get the word out. We secured seven interviews in a row on saturday during the festival, so hopefully that will help. Sean had a lengthy interview with kotaku that went pretty well too - hopefully the combination of these and the fact we just passed 30% in our kickstater will show us some love.

Another online TCG with a team of a similar and budget size to ours got the staff spotlight. Maybe I should ask them what we need to do to get noticed as an indie. Here is ours for comparison.

Using Tim Buckley in the SA thread was either stupid or amazing.

Stupidly amazing.

I was gonna say, wasn't Tim Buckley From CAD almost universally reviled nowadays?

Honest question, as I haven't read SA's forums in a long time.

His personal persona and public persona are quite different. I'm not going to drop Tim because of some libelous comments about him.

Tim, Woody, Brian Cleverer, and a few others helped create ConnectiCon from scratch and some of them are throwing their backing to my new project...

edit: No Evercrest means I would have never met Woody. Woody was the first webcomic for ConnectiCon, which helped bring in the others. No ConnectiCon means no Apocoplay.

Hands on review form the Examiner explains the game pretty well

Also, we are about to pull a few more trump cards that will hopefully help.

It's the biggest possible trump card I can think of playing, and it's happening during the last minute. When you hear it you'll end up quoting iron man 2 - "Well, I think you should lead with that one next time.".

For now, we are at least getting some coverage - http://www.onrpg.com/articles/editorial/alteil-horizons-kickstarter-interview/

It looks like the current kickstarter isn't going to make it, but we are in a very strong position to relaunch. Holding off on the big dogs until the relaunch and are working on getting external funds so we'll only need 40k or 50k, which we should be able to make from the current audience alone.
