Support the Air Dash Online Kickstarter!

[GreatGonzales]

Hello all. I am really excited about the possibilities of the indie game called Air Dash Online (ADO), which is heavily influenced by Super Smash Brothers. It now has a live Kickstarter project, and this community should get out there and support it! If we don't, who will?

ADO Kickstarter Page

Mods, please forgive if this is not the right forum, or if this has already been posted somewhere. But I think this is a valuable PSA - the Kickstarter needs our help to reach $355,555!

Below is the main ADO thread on Smashboards:

Thanks everyone!

I think a similar announcement belongs in every General smashboards forum. Thoughts?

Interesting concept of a game, but lets be real here, the amount of fundraising needed for SSBM to get into evo was pretty dang high, to pretty much double that, for a game that is being made to *somewhat* be like melee is a bit of a steep responsibility to try and force upon the smash community(where i've seen the majority of the advertising for the game go).


And hell since we're here i had a few questions about the game itself there's a comment about there being no "helpless" mode while in the air, how does combo'ing work if the opponent can attack at any time even after being knocked up?

Presumably, there is hitstun. Anyway I trust these guys, they aren't going to create a broken combo system.
Regarding the funds required for the kickstarter - yeah it does seem like a lot, I agree. But they itemize everything out in the FAQ section. I really hope they get enough funding, I think this game could be great!

Apparently you'll find out soon. They're releasing their prototype today. Regardless, I seem to remember them talking about there being hitstun.

Funding this game would take a lot more than the dedicated Smash scene. That's clearly evident, and may have been a critical error in their approach here. The responsibility can't be forced on the Smash community - I don't think that's what GreatGonzales' point was in making this thread. But if it were to be funded... that's probably not happening without some support from the scene.

Right. I mean, it would be great if the Smash community had pockets deep enough to shell out 355,555 on its own, but that seems unlikely. It'll need help from the general Kickstarter crowd. Still, for this to have any chance of being funded, the core audience (us) will have to show some support!

If anything is being forced it is your definition of force.

I think the timing was bad. The Mighty No. 9 kickstarter just ended, a lot of people are in mid-terms, and the largest hyped event lately had a turnout of 80 something people.
