That was the best video upon which my eyes have ever been bestowed. I believe the sole purpose for the existence of the internet has been found. Huzzah!
I loved the first release, but felt fucked over when they released the upgraded version and I had to pay to get it. This was after they said early adopters would be upgraded for free mind you. Never heard why that happened. Either way this franchise deserves to live.
What PhilK3nS3bb3n said, SO HARD.
I too was one of the first people to pickup on TKA, well before it was popular (They *are* called xbox live INDIE games for a reason, right? ;D) and felt screwed over when they promised the new update to previous owners.
And since I'm the annoying type that never goes away, I kept bugging them asking until they acknowledged and the answer I received said something along the lines of 'but look at ALL the new stuff we offer!' :/
Still, it's a decent game that I could easily recommend at its old price($1) and only sorta recommend at their new price($4) and well, their PC price($15) is kinda hard to justify, but give them a try anyway.

Who is us? Are we playing publisher or something? The constant call for us to personally contribute to anothers wealth is tiring.
This whole crowd fund business model is getting old, and abused, fast. Particularly when it comes to the videogame industry.

To me, thats terrible. Knowing this, regardless of anything else, why would we want to support these guys? Sounds like they never deserve another nickel, especially from crowd funding.
A bit harsh perhaps, but thats a troubling way to do business to say the least IMO

Hey- will try to clear up the update / original debacle:
Techno Kitten Adventure was acquired by 21st Street Games. The original TKA was then mistakenly removed from XBLIG by the original developer before we had a chance to swap it to the updated version that everyone is now most familiar with. We had to release it as "Techno Kitten Adventure!" because even though "Techno Kitten Adventure" didn't exist anymore, Microsoft policy kept us from being able to transfer over the old name. So, long story short, we released "Techno Kitten Adventure!", a new game with all new graphics, double the amount of levels and songs with continued free updates. Basically, if you owned the original, you have a rare gaming relic that has since disappeared. If you own the current game, you got a great title that has already been updated 3 times with completely new & completely free content. Sounds like a company that does care & has tried its best to do right, despite circumstances.

@Brian: Thanks for clearing that up. Shitty situation. Glad to hear free updates still roll in. Still a Badass game regardless of any drama. Nice to know I own a relic too!

I appreciate immensly when devs are pubs are upfront about what goes on, especially when not only can it be misconstrued but even looks like a swindle on paper without any insight. I supported the kickstarter, with no interest in the game, for this reason.
Quick Q though, a little hard to tell from the pov of your post, are you with 21st or said original dev?

I think our answer lies in that sentence.

I figured, last sentance throws it off though for me. Just wanted to be sure, no inflection on text and all.
Either way, thanks Brian

Hey all- glad I could clear things up a bit- I'm the Creative Director at W21. I made the deal with original TKA developer Nick Kinkade, who we hired shortly after and will be working on STKA with us. I just want to sincerely thank you guys for your support of this game either way- it means everything to us.
