The Mandate - Kickstarter

Already pleged, i hope they can reach the goal (39 days left), it look great

Looks nice, but at this rate it is not going to make the goal.

They will release a gameplay trailer on sunday, and will start a new heavy marketing campaign across gamer websites once that is out. They hope that it will stimulate the pledges.

I hope to get a job before the next 40 days, so I can throw 75$ at them myself. I SOOOO much want that game to succeed. Just look at what they intend to do with the crew: http://yourcrew.mandategame.com/

Have you tried their "ship simulator"? It's basic engine, but it looks REALLY pretty. I love how the shield works.

yes, is also my fear, but the weird thing is that is not even in the staff pick of the games section, more strange if you think that is in the steam greenlight's top ten.

That's because people there seem to vote up everything decent. Also, if something looks interesting and have some serious effort behind it will get upvoted by many.

There are simply so much CRAP on Greenlight that anything good shines so much that everybody gets attracted to it.

I really want this to happen, I have waited a long time for this game.

Take a look at the recent Space Combat gameplay!!

It's 31 day left to go, it's $194,770 at least, little more than $50,000 behide for halfway to go. 4,553 backers now. They seem to be upgrade 2 time every week?

Sure looks nice...So many interesting space sim/strategy games and so little time.

Mandate was also anounced on SC forum so i think where will be boost enough to let this thing happend.

cross my fingers

Well, it made it with a good margin and there is still many hours left to participate

Only 11 hours left to get Starbase Boarding Operations. 

Made it past 700k just barely! I really hope this game turns out as good as they pitch it.

Yea, really nice final spurt. I calculated, that the average backer was around $43. I wonder how the final $50k came? Did they get couple big donations, or lots of small late participants.

Well anyway, we'll see what it brings. I haven't studied all the material available, so I only know it looks nice in couple pictures

Of course, you can't see the granularity down to the individual contribution, but it's a lot more info than just looking at the simple chart on Kickstarter itself.
