question not related to this: how come when watching a youtube on this site people all look blue like in avatar, watching the same movie on youtube all looks fine ?nm, some silly flash & nvidia bug, disable hw accelerationAye had same problem, would of told you, but I guess you figured it out for yourself before I read your reply.
pledged :P
same but doubt they will reach the goal though
They have much more to show than concept art and yet they struggle so much to achieve that low level of pledges. I don't know why but I suspect that people think it will be generic and uninteresting RPG. I think that atleast looking at the environments it has nice design. This is also one of the most impressive games made in Unity game engine.
I don't know if you are aware that [URL='http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hiddenpath/defense-grid-2']Defense Grid 2[/URL] is on Kickstarter and if developers reach $750 000
there will be Linux and Mac versions. Hidden Path set quite a steep financial requirement and it seems unlikely to get that amount of pledges.
aye posted it in the news section, people look at that pledge in a totally different way
