Code Monkey Save World

[Angelastic]

So… this looks interesting.

So it’s like 80% funded already. I’mma go out on a limb and say that this thing is going to happen.

[Angelastic]

Yeah. The guy who can sell 700 berths on a cruise ship and 1000 $100 box sets of an album can probably manage a $39 000 kickstarter. 🙂

[BrettGlass]

The folks doing the Kickstarter seem very diligent. As for their output…? We’ll see. 😉

[AirCon]

Brand new JoCo song as one of the rewards? This looks VERY interesting…

[lucioperca]

Well, looks like they’ll need to come up with stretch goals in a hurry.

[Angelastic]

How many hundred thousand do we think they’ll get to?

[Oboewan]

I wish there was a level where I could just get the Digital Copy and the Code Monkey Statue 🙂

[Angelastic]

Yeah, some of us already own all of Jonathan Coulton’s songs several times over. 🙂

It’d be nice if there were levels with various combinations of mug, shirt, statue, ad, etc, but then it would be a PledgeMusic thing rather than a Kickstarter thing. 🙂

I guess there will be some Greg Pak fans that don’t have much Coulton music, but I would think that even casual fans would have the majority of the songs that will be on the soundtrack. It looks to be similar to the Greatest Hit (Plus Thirteen Other Songs) compilation that was released with the Humble Music Bundle last year. Maybe there will be a bazillion dollar stretch goal that would be a Code Monkey Save World EP of new music. I’m not holding my breath.

Overall, though, my complaints are minor, compared to how much I approve of this project!

[Angelastic]

Because it’s so well funded already, the book will now be longer, and there are more advertising spots available, and more bit characters to have yourself drawn as (though they already seem to be gone) and stickers for everyone who ordered the physical book, and a new mug+T-shirt level (which, for non-US people, costs $43 more than the T-shirt only level… hmm… how much do I want that mug?) Yay!

[maletero]

I’ll admit, I’m more excited than I should be that I will now be getting **stickers** with my order. Still mulling over  whether to spring for the mug. . .

Don’t miss this interview about the project, with Jonathan and the gang.

Holy Monkeys! New update with the promise of posters now and new recordings of beloved songs at $200k.  This thing just keeps getting better.
