Project Messiah for 10 $ !
-
I actually emailed them, and got a reply that they had amended the page to say that they would refund the money, and that they "didn't think that anybody would think that they would just keep the money as a legitimate way to do business".
I actually never thought they would, but thought I'd point it out.
I did however didn't get an answer to the question that they never actually stated what the goal was in terms of numbers, (and therefore was it even attainable?).
However I really do want them to succeed. (not in the least bit selfish
). -
It's worth a punt...

Progress bar Feb 8th
-
The problem is... we don't know if that's 600 left to complete it or 6 million !
Either way 'they' could have 'our' [i.e. my
] money gaining interest for a while... there seems a vague time-out to refund 'clause'...
Come on you guys sign up - it's not so much!!! -

I believe the target is now very high, but when no new requests will come, they'll let magically grow the bar to reach the goal...no need to refund money
-
I purchased the Pro version. Currently the bar is approaching the 50% mark.
-
Update.
-
Looks to be at over 75% now - I did my part with a couple of licenses!
-
Progress bar : 82 % at this day
How I know that?
Just see the source code of the page
Maybe 4% can be added by the rounded ending image
-
Looks like it is broaching the 90% mark. If you are interested better get on board.
-
I already got mine
Best,
Jason. -
92%
-
I couldn't let this one slip either!
$40 paid, no questions asked!
Mac, PC, or Linux? How can one fail???

The last 20% takes 80% of the effort [The Pareto Rule]...
We WILL get there... -
I know this is probably going to collect dust in my hard drive as I have never tried character animation before, but, hey, it's just $40. There went my money. I also just reposted this to a Spanish SketchUp forum. At the current rate the offer should be over in less than 24 hours. Apparently "the goal" is pretty high, as they plan to refund the difference to existing users of version 5 if the goal is met.
http://www.3dworldmag.com/2011/02/14/pmg-co-founder-talks-10-messiah-studio-project/Google Trends shows a spike in searches for project messiah... (Actually, it seems they were quite unknown before this).

!!THE GOAL HAS BEEN MET!!!!!!!
-
Hooray!
Now all we need to do is get the thing!
They say it'll take tree days or so to process all of these new licenses...Anyone still interested has ~12 hours left to buy at the very heavily discounted price...
-
If you think about it, it's actually a very good way of making a quick buck.
The developers are probably millionaires now!
Now if only UGS would do the same thing with NX7.5, Or Autodesk with 3DS Max, or AutoCAD!

In celebration, I've updated my avatar- seeing there is a cartoon theme going on here!

Doh! YouTube have broken my usual trick of uploading vids- BOOO!
Good old fashioned links;

"35,000 hits. 103,000 combined views"
By "hits" do they mean sales? If that's the case, they have made around 1 million bucks with this campaign, assuming more than half the people went for the PRO license.Yeah, sure, they're taking their time to process their licenses... That probably means there's still a lot of people buying.
