This is me, doing the good work, bumping up this thread once more:

Over there, send them money to win the war, err, the nescessary amount of money to make these WW1 planes fly once more.

Project is about one third funded with 25 days to go. Also set to appear on Steam Greenlight today!

Well, let us hope that they gonna make it.

The first (very rough) impressions of the damage model looks promising:

I need to download the demo tonight.

Did you downloaded the Demo?
What is your opinion?

Meanwhile the game entered the Steam Greenlight contest, here is the link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=195173821

Not yet, was delayed...later tonight. Will definitely vote on Greenlight too. Gonna go over to Kickstarter now to check progress. Seemed like some people were feeling down over there yesterday when I pledged.

I like the demo, it's great to jump back into Wings after almost 25 years :)

The campaign is almost at 50% with 3 weeks to go. Today there was one 2500.00 and one 5000.00 pledge!

Gusington · November 20, 2013, 10:07:28 AM

A lot of big pledges yesterday...Wings is now at 71% of goal at 60,000 dollars and 20 days to go, looking good!

xwormwood · November 20, 2013, 05:03:54 PM

Yes, amazing those high pledges!
:)

And now they even released a Demo for Android:

Cinemaware! Sweet!

Gusington · November 23, 2013, 05:41:48 PM

^Get in there man!

I never played this one but I saw the 'rocket ranger' one (or whatever it was called) on a friend's Amiga back in 1989 or so. I just downloaded the demo and played through it and it's fun, but not very immersive - I wonder if that's just because this is a demo and not the full-fledged product?

Now if I can find the game Red Baron that will work on Vista, I'll be happy...

There was a Red Baron Kickstarter that failed miserably and Wings! has taken up some of its disappointed fans.

Never donated on Kickstarter, but I think I will for this.
