So, is there really going to be a list with 15,000+ names of all the kickstarters in the game?

I'm really curious how they're going to do that.

I doubt they will be putting all 15 thousand names into the actual game credits, perhaps they will feature the people with larger donations (2000+ or something) the rest will probably be mentioned on the website.

How long does it take you to type?! :-P

Have you heard of copy and paste? It's a popular thing with the hip kids these days ;-)

The $15 pledge reward desciption..

MEMBER (THROBBING): You'll get the released game, to download from Steam. You'll receive sexy exclusive wallpaper in a range of resolutions to suit all your digital devices. Finally, you'll be credited in the game as a Carmageddon Kickstarter!
So yeah, it'll be a looooooong credit sequence! Anyone who pledged less than $15 will be mentioned on the website apparently.

I'd imagine they can get a list of all the backers from kickstarter and just paste it in.

All they have to do is have a Kickstarter section in the menu that a person can select if they want to see all the names. That way they're not all in the end credits but still there.

Yeah but even then it'll be a list with 15,000+ names. Your mouse wheel we be overheated once you've scrolled to the end of the list :)

Hi all, first post. Been a fan since Carmageddon 1, enjoyed all the games, especially 2. I know this is a bit of a thread bump, but I did a quick search and this seemed the most appropriate thread to ask my questions.

Are Paypal backers going to be credited on the website?

Are Paypal backers going to be credited in-game? (and for that matter, are Kickstarter backers?)

I'm sorry, there's no context for what you presumably copy-pasted. Where did you get that from? I can't even find it with google. "Special thanks" isn't very conclusive either. Surely someone in staff knows whether this has been decided upon?

I don't want to be a pain in the ass. It's just that I am a huge Carmageddon fan and I would be over the moon if my name was in the game. I know a few people who would probably become Paypal supporters if their names could be in the game too. Long time Carmageddon fans I used to play C2 at lan parties with.

Bumped to refute that the issue has been solved.

SELECT 'CONTRIBUTE_NAME' FROM 'BACKERS'

Contribution list done.

(BACKERS table of course populated by our input to the backer's site)

I know, I know, SQL statements take all the fun out of everything.

He's saying all the names should be in constant paragraph (like on the existing Backers Credits page on the site) rather than each person on a single line, which would take about a year to scroll through ;)

...I thought they meant how their name was misspelled. It's meant to be "Gorege", not "Gorge". Maybe it's something else entirely.

What about an option where all the pedestrians randomly have the name of a backer? Like written on their back or holding a sign with the name on it!

So at a point we should be able to kill our self in the game :-)

Well after looking at the credits in the alpha, yes it's pretty much one big block with thousands of names, haha. Though I don't see how else they would do it.

So this seems to suggest that the credits will indeed be in the game. I hope they're in the final release.

Relax, Nobby's still typing. He secretly told me it's his main contribution to the new game.
