Hey, how about we collect some questions to ask the development team? That is, depending on if we'll be able to contact them and if they'll be willing to talk about it.

I'd specifically like to ask about any planned mod support for Nexus 2.

What'd you want to know?

I'd like to know more about the modding aspects of Nexus 2... and would the devs think about supporting Nexus:TJI again? Releasing more of the dev tools (for campaign modding,etc) or hosting a main mp server for both games. Although it's a long shot, if we could get our hands on some of the source as well then maybe we could remove some of the hard coded limits...

Arparso, could you link your news post "Nexus 2 back in development, looking for funding" with Nexus - Fan Group on ModDB? This way all modders should be able to link the news with their mods also witch would mean more support for it..

Done!

Scheisse, It seems that does not work as it should. There goes the idea........ stupid system. Try anyone else to link it with his /her mod too, so we will see if that really works. Anyway, if anyone is posting any news, link it with Nexus Fan Group too. It is one of the biggest fan groups on ModDB, so we should use it to promote each other.

Uhm... why did we go from 14.000 to 12.000?

Somebody thought 2500 € was a bit much for a game?

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #39 on:** August 24, 2011, 14:33:04 »

Just a quick thought, I wonder if we could get ModDb themselves to run an article on Nexus2 in their newsletters? Might be a way to reach those folks who probably aren't aware...

Sargoth · « **Reply #40 on:** August 24, 2011, 18:06:05 »

Do it.

I've already trolled Eruogamer, kotaku, pc gamer and shacknews. Haven't seen them pick up on it yet though

GeoModder · « **Reply #41 on:** September 03, 2011, 19:23:02 »

I'm starting to think some people are mixing up their currencies. Why offering €40 if for €10 more you're "Silver" so to speak?

Arparso · « **Reply #42 on:** February 10, 2012, 00:25:35 »

This didn't quite work out as well as we all hoped, right? Any news on what their plans are now?

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #43 on:** February 10, 2012, 09:08:01 »

Well, those who pledged funds have been listed as 'supporters' rather than a message saying"Thanks, but we didn't make it. Bye, bye.", I'll take that as sign that they're looking into their back up plans for the acquiring the rest of the money.

Still hoping...

Arparso · « **Reply #44 on:** February 10, 2012, 17:23:01 »

Yeah, I saw that list of supporters. Curiously enough I didn't find myself on it, which makes me wonder if my pledge was actually received or if I ended up as one of the anonymous supporters for whatever reason...

Ah, well... whatever the case, wouldn't have saved the project anyway.

What makes me especially bitter is the tremendous success of Double Fine's fundraiser:
Double Fine Adventure @ Kickstarter

They wanted to raise $400.000 in 33 days and reached their goal after only 8 hours. 8 hours! Now, only a day after start, they already have more than three times the money they actually aimed for (and it's still growing). I mean, kudos to them for being so successful and I wish them all the best and all... but the fact, that Nexus 2 wasn't able to get a significantly lower amount of money in a much much MUCH longer timespan is rather sad, I guess.

Now, at least the average Nexus 2 supporter pledged about 10 times the money the average Double Fine supporter did... that alone tells me a lot about the sheer dedication of the fanbase here.

Especially for this project i have updated my paypal account.
I followed the progress every week over the last months.
Now it's kinda over.
Indeed as The Old Dragon says, we are still listed as supporters.
Maybe there's a glimmer of hope.

Arparso, i saw the link of Kickstarter as well.
Man amazing, that they've reached their target well before the date and surpassed it
by a Lot.

Well for real space gamers like us, it is clear that we are a tiny minority, which is reflected in the coldest and hardest possible way.......Money..dudes.

Anyway, i can still enjoy myself with the modding.....with the help of our community.

Also, do the lottery.

I do the Euro millions here. If I win 40 Mill I would fund the thing myself!!

As good a chance as any

Well in that case.

Lets hope you win.
And after N 2 you could also fund the N 3
LOL.

Arparso · « **Reply #48 on:** February 16, 2012, 17:53:58 »

Heck, if I'd win 40 million, I'd throw a couple hundred thousands towards the Nexus team as well... but I guess we can't depend on that happening, can we?

GeoModder · « **Reply #49 on:** February 17, 2012, 19:30:04 »

Wow! Looks like the Games-planet site is down for good. I have a placeholder popup when I click the link in the Nexus 2 article...

Also, I received a mail by PayPal that my pre-approved payment plan to a certain Pixonauts-KG will expire within the next 10 days. I'm guessing these two are the same.
