Hi everyone, with the kickstarter coming up soon, a few of us fans around the globe decided to come together to do a podcast on recent events. This podcast was brought to you by our mainstay host Aalt, also known as KimiNozo Guy, and staring Sachibelle, Evan, Suffolk and me (gabgrave). I’m very pleased to welcome KNG, who is a great fan of the franchise, to Alternative Projects, and you can read his awesome posts and debates on various topics in the industry and on Muv-Luv here at his blog.
This podcast contains:
- Brief introductions about ourselves,
- What we like about Muv-Luv and how we came to know it,
- Our thoughts on the kickstarter, what we think it should focus on, and what we expect from it.
This is our first test podcast, and is a test run for us to get used to things, so please be gentle with us if we sound stiff or odd, and for any problems with the sound quality.
Just to provide a clarification, the stretch goals we mention in the middle of the podcast are actually about the items listed in the poll for what fans would like to see implemented in the localization, and nothing has been confirmed to be in the official stretch goals as yet. The ending song is called Evildoer, from Xanadu Next by Nihon Falcom.
In next week’s issue, we will be talking to the Degica reps on the KS project, so do look forward to that, and if you have any questions you would like to ask them or us, do drop them to us at our email, and we’ll get them answered in our upcoming podcasts.
Thanks for listening to us!

Alternative Projects 
Great first podcast! I agree with you all that it seems like Degica is kind of in a way trying to “overdeliver” on the Kickstarter campaign and the goals for it, but I like many hope they succeed in getting the thing funded. I can’t wait to hear your next podcast.
That was pretty good for a first podcast. Looking forward to more. 🙂
If I could have just one Kickstarter reward, it would be an English version of Integral Works. That book is chock full of information that I can’t read.
Hey Evan you are my hero for translating my favourite chracter’s side game, mainly Haruko Maniax. JS.
Also, good podcast, hope to hear more from everyone soon!
and you’re my hero for looking forward to it. ❤
Kickstarters are about the funders being the fans. It uses money and the economy to determine whose opinions are actually worth listening to. The advertisement is normally spread by the fans or Kickstarter’s page via social media. There’s no benefit to trying to predict what the mainstream will like. The mainstream are the people who funded the project. The ones that work on producing it. The mainstream will like it or not, but the point is that once you can release it using Western money, the fan base is already out there. It just needs to be tapped and mined.
Well run organizations like Obsidian can run kickstarters with a lot of money well, because they have actual accountants that can predict what the money should be used for and what the rate of return is for x months.
