$75,000 Anyone?

So I have this great idea for a game and I think UWE could set up a nice base for that in a week with my directing skills. I'd do the rest. I promise to pay back in case the game sells well.
Thanks in advance.

    I do not, nor have I ever had that much money at one time. I would be extremely surprised if anyone actually did donate $75,000.

    However, it is encouraging that the Onos badges ($333) have already sold out. Will those be available in the future, perhaps?

    umm if someone gives you 75k they don't want you to just "pay them back" they want like a 3x return on the investment. Atleast from a business -like mind

    Good idea to limit the Onos one. Wouldn't want anyone behind the news to be motivated to donate $300 as well.

    The thing is if the Onos one wasn't limited I seriously doubt as many people would have bought it. The art book is nice, I'm sure, but I don't think that in itself would have convinced people to increase their donation from 75 to 333.

    It's not just the limit that is the problem. It's the gap that limit has created between the tiers.
    You can either pay $75, or $8000. There is no middle ground.

    UWE can't put in a tier better than the $333 one now, as the people who already purchased that would of potentially bought a $500 tier if there was even more exclusivity behind it, but that option wasn't available.

    1. Community pools together money and raises 75k
    2. The person who donates the money makes UWE design a game that is exactly like NS2 except with the old NS1 gorge builders and no powernodes
    3. Everybody wins

    For $75,000 you could hire some programmers to just mod NS2 to make it like whatever you wanted and have money left over (as long as you hire programmers from overseas or something for cheap).

    And with 10 dollars you could get a meal at a restaurant instead of a song and some pixels. I think you've kind of missed the point of this whole exercise.

    idtech is better than gldsrce, way better; in fact it is 'the engine' of all engines in fps video gaming... I seriously touch it and couldn't list you a single flaw if I tried

    well actually donating 75.000 with the focus of really getting shit done, means you allready have an idea and concept ready and just need the raw power of a running professional team.
    then 75k is a good deal for prototyping efforts.
    seriously it is, you get the whole team for 1 week wich multiplys for every worker.
    so for example 5 poeple are 5 (highly skilled and versatile) man weeks PLUS the whole pipeline implemented so no need for hard or software costs.
    And you get a highly Experienced gamedesign review too, i would use the week to prototype my game and review the complete concept and gamedeisng together with theses guys.

    in the end those 75k arent that much anymore compared to a self funded prototype production with nothing other then cash to begin with

    I do not think they mean that the 75k donor will get to direct ns2 design, the phrasing implies they will get to design some new game.

    Adrenaline recharge?
    You mean, adrenaline doesn't increase energy regen anymore?
