See the new topic....DF ELITE Planes & Tanks

M4rtin wrote: Joaquin, I would also suggest you put the links to both this Forum(People can read the commitment here from us) and the current DF(A small taste of what it can develop into-The Free Trial still exists)on both the Dogfight Elite website and the Kickstarter website. This way people who can see what this game has evolved into. It will also give those not familiar with the game to get a taste of it. I also suggest you get in touch with those companies whose projects that you backed at Kickstarter.

The words just and necessary

Woah. The Komet? Two things: First, Joaquin, no offense, but did you research that thing at all??? They were made of plywood, and were designed to kill two people: The enemy, then the guy flying ths Komet. Second, I'm not going to use anything but the DR1 until I humiliate someone flying one!

Tell you what ... for a little incentive, I'll give you guys a suprise if we can hit $10 Gs by tomorrow night. You'll enjoy it.

Can we have surprise even if we don't? I like surprises

What Calvin meant to say is that everyone has to change there pledge to $300.

Unless you pledged more.

Don't. If you can't afford it, don't up your pledge. If you can survive brown bagging it to work for a week, maybe not eating out friday night, brewing coffee at the office or at home instead of buying Starbucks, do it. Save the money, donate the money. Good rule in general, not just right now.

I pledged..... Mrs Dent say's I can do no more than cuddle for the next 2 month's.... I wanted to pledge more and sleep on the couch..... Another frying pan to the head and I decided cuddling was a good thing......


Hey Micheal,,,,,(legend) Heh Heh the Mrs's brought home a sack full of those dollar's you were throwing at her........

I put it off long enough.....
I see the pledge, But don't see my name....I assume the name's show up after a certain amount of people pledge?Edit: Never mind, I put my bifocal's on and read the fine print.

Z have you looked at or played airwarrior which I played in the late 90's
Air and land, multiple players in bommers had to bome airfield. Three teams, stayed teams red, green & yellow stayed in teams every time.
By the way when you gonna fix my problem?

I am going to donate before it's over but at the moment I am a lil "strapped for cash". I want to donate $100-$125. Two days ago I got my truck stuck, while gathering some landscaping stones.
Then I got dragged out of the mud after calling my dad and his Blazer.
I walk out on my porch this morning and heard a strange noise, guess what...PUPPIES!

Currently I have $0.64 in my bank account, after rushing home to grab enough change to keep my bank balance in the positive before they closed. I made it with 5minutes to spare before they closed. I have since borrowed $40 to pay for gas till payday, got a letter saying that my tax return was seized (to pay part of a student loan), and now I think my clutch is going out. Add that to a toddler and a new born plus a wife that is in school with no job...things are tough but I shall prevail.

I will donate at least $1 before it is over but I have high hopes for more.
To top it off I also found out that one of my friends/former coworkers who left to become a police officer, died during a traing exercise. (Not sure what the cause was but it doesn't matter much at this point) please keep his wife and daughters in your prayers.

Maybe I gained a little more power from these lines. (Not likely) but please be assured that I will donate whatever I can spare before its over. (Even if I have to skip a few lunches) I believe in this game! Even though I am very stressed and don't have much time at the moment, I do all that I can to help this place. Its my lil get away from "real life", thanks to all who read this venting/ranting.


P.S. those pics are of my truck, my dogs puppies, and me. This entire tale is truthful. I just thought I should let everyone know why I haven't donated yet because some of your post have me feeling guilty for not doing more.

WE HAVE REACHED $6500 with 75 pledges. AN AVARAGE OF $87.35. Now, from Air Commodore ranks and above there over 1500 players, if all of these pledge at that avarege we reach the goal, and I believe thez some 3000 players of Group Captain and above so at an avarage of $45 pledges from this rank and above the goal is reached. WE CAN DO THIS! Go out there and spread the word.

Wow Jacob, this is just proof that trouble never comes alone.
While reading and seeing you at the power lines I thought you also got hit by lighting just to follow the trend. Stay away from those lines! Monster or red bull gives energy and are safer lol

Don't worry too much, whoever and whatever amount can pledge is just good enough. We are many Dogfighers, we should be able to make it all together

Jacob,

I'm sorry, I can only guess that one of my post added to your guilt and as I said in my post, I really do know that things are hard. Good luck with it all and keep smiling. sorry again for any offence or guilt that you may have felt because of me.

Cant you talk to FedEx or some other company like that and put a sign on the buildings at the runway if they donate (buy adverticeing) for $10-20.000? Ittl be like an office at the airfield for them.

We've reached some, that's what the reward for "Marketing Guru" (the highest reward) is for. But so far nobody has said yes. If you have any contact on any of the companies, please don't hesitate to shoot them a message and link, we'll be happy to add those sponsors

I don't know who watches the echoboom email account but I emailed a large company yesterday that specialise in war books. I CC'd you so hopefully you saw and approved of my message.

I have also today contacted British Airways, B.A.E systems and Rolls Rocye.

Zup,

Will the Lancaster have room in it for the rear gunner? I imagine not but that would be truely fantastic!

If there are any 2 seater aircraft like the IL2 Sturmovik.It has a rear gunner and it would be cool if the B-17 had a top gunner.I hope your put in the Bristol F2B.The WWI two seater plane.And for bombers I suggest the Gotha G.V and the HP-O400.Also on the Nieuport XI can it have the Le Prieur rockets.They were used by that plane only to shoot down bombers and observation balloons.Riseof Flight added them about a month or so ago.I think it would be a good feature to destroy hangars.

Folks, start emailing Adam Smith at Rock, Paper Shotgun about the Dogfight Elite Kickstarter campaign. The more exposure it gets the better. When this guy does a writeup, pledges go up. Link to his email address is on the site.

Tell Adam to write up DF Elite on his semi-regular feature called Kickstarter Katchup .

Keep it short and include the words "Kickstarter" and "www.dogfightplay.com/" in the subject line of the email so he knows what it's for.

Here is a sample text you can use or adapt:

www.dogfightplay.com/

Write this up. I am a player, not the developer.

Awesome WWI combat flight sim, multiplayer, currently mobile only.

Big following. Rabidly enthusiastic player forum/community.

Developer has Kickstarter campaign (started April 5, 2013) to expand to WWII and multi-platform including PC, yo.

Check it out. Write it up. You have your instructions ...

Done....anything for the cause.

@bopes, thanks, also don't forget you need to put the Kickstarter link when writing to them
otherwise they will only come to these forums I think. Having both links, provides them with all the info This is the link www.kickstarter.com/projects/echoboomapps/dogfight-elite

Besides that, yep please write to any media/blogger you can think of about this, so we can have a bigger muscle. Right now there are about 300 visits to the Kickstarter page a day, most from us. We have to promote it to the outside world!

I also just released a version of Dogfight which will display from time to time the "Dogfight Elite" screen. Hopefully that helps.

@richy got your emails, I replied to them today yesterday it had no CC so I didn't know what to do

@allied yes, there will be 2 seater planes... I won't share much detail until the next milestone

Thank you zuperman, can't wait for the next mile stone.

Here is what I sent Mr. Adam Smith at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I would like for you to take a close look at this kickstart project, www.kickstarter.com/projects/echoboomapps/dogfight-elite that has a community of players that are donating in order to get this new multi-player platform off the ground. I am not the developer and am a committed player to the existing game which was developed by Echoboom called www.dogfightplay.com.

The original is called dogfight and it is a multi-player WWI mobile phone game. It has since its release amassed quite a large loyal following which is evident if you visit the forum. It has become an international community who all share the same passion for this game.

The developer, Echoboom is trying to get this new gaming platform, as mentioned above, called www.kickstarter.com/projects/echoboomapps/dogfight-elite off the ground and we as the current community are quite anxious in seeing this get developed. Please help us in any way you can.

Gratefully yours,

¥M4rtin¥

EDIT: Techcrunch.. E-Mailed as well
EDIT #2: I am now twittering or tweeting, or whatever it is called. My first ever tweet or twitter is on @DogfightElite.

anyone got contacts on mashable, techcrunch or similar?

TechCrunch has a pop-up form for tips, pitches and such; should be in the upper right corner of the site.

The "tips" email address is in that form too. Couldn't find any other contacts on the site.

So I guess we all have to pitch there then

Done. but if you click on the tab for TIPs you will get thier email address. that is what i used...

Cool!
Don't forget to mention that it is not only a shooting game but also a historical and educational one, and that it already has a great community! I think it does stand out
