It was supposed to launch at 1000 JST but I got it at ~0925 JST.

Ok, so it got launched at 31/08 9:25am JST. Here, the time was around 3:30am, when I was still asleep. I got the email to the link at 20:53pm on 30/08, at that time link didn't yet work. I went to sleep at 11pm. And in the morning, the link worked.
Apart of link activating 25 minutes earlier than it was supposed, I don't see anything out of the ordinary happening here
Re: ATTN: All Toaplan-heads - Developer Documentary Project [KS]
Joe did send me a message at that time asking me if it worked for me because I guess other people were getting errors for some reason, so maybe he decided to publish early just in case. Looks like people on the Kickstarter page are still having difficulty as of a few hours ago, so hopefully Joe can figure that out.MJR wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 8:31 amOk, so it got launched at 31/08 9:25am JST.

Anyway, this thing is great and it's so good to see how blatantly obvious it is that IKD loves these old games.
Re: ATTN: All Toaplan-heads - Developer Documentary Project [KS]
OK, thanks for clearing it up. Can't wait to watch the interview!
Re: ATTN: All Toaplan-heads - Developer Documentary Project [KS]
I think it's the only part of the whole thing that is download-only.
Re: ATTN: All Toaplan-heads - Developer Documentary Project [KS]
I'd love to have it on the BD, especially because it was originally planned to be 5 minutes long but ended up becoming 24 minutes long because IKD ended up saying so much cool stuff in his interview.
Re: ATTN: All Toaplan-heads - Developer Documentary Project [KS]
Are there plans to eventually make the documentary available for purchase by non backers?
Re: ATTN: All Toaplan-heads - Developer Documentary Project [KS]
There will be a Blu-ray you can buy once it's released.

The backer codes for the Ikeda interview simply don't work. I get an error using any of them, and only the Shmup Junkie narration has an option to enter a code anyway (at least for me). I noticed that the code they give is one digit shorter than the example code on vimeo, which makes me wonder if they made a mistake.

I got the codes working and was able to watch the interview, though logging into Vimeo was a hassle since it's been 10 years since I last used it.
Oh and if this interview was any indication of the content we are going to get on the bluray, then I'll say we have good stuff waiting for us.
I had totally forgotten that I entered *cosmic space monkey* as my mid initials, now it's there on the credits scroll

The instructions left by the project manager were just very poor.EmperorIng wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 7:27 pm The backer codes for the Ikeda interview simply don't work.

You have to be logged in to a Vimeo account.
Then, go back and click on the backer links you got.
The missing piece for me was not having an account. But everyone's confused - the Kickstarter comments are full of people having the same issue.

Yeah it is not obvious. Don't put the code into the 'VIP Access' slot, it won't work. Instead, click on the 'buy for silly money' button, scroll down and copy the code into the promotional code slot or something of that nature. It worked for me and was a great interview. Apologies if this makes little sense as I am very drunk.
Re: ATTN: All Toaplan-heads - Developer Documentary Project [KS]
Yeah, you have to have a Vimeo account and use the codes, which give you a 100% discount on the videos. It's weird and there was probably a better way to do this, but it works. Looks like some people still might be having difficulty with it, though.
Did you get it to work yet? My codes are all 18 characters long, in case that helps you know if yours are weird or not.EmperorIng wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 7:27 pm The backer codes for the Ikeda interview simply don't work.

Re: ATTN: All Toaplan-heads - Developer Documentary Project [KS]
No, it was creating the account which was the problem, since this wasn't explained in the backer email. I've been able to watch it now!

Re: ATTN: All Toaplan-heads - Developer Documentary Project [KS]
Okay, cool. I was like half asleep when I did it, so I don't really remember the process, but it looks like some people people are still having problems with it.
In case there is anyone who wanted to back this but didn't, funding is going to reopen somehow and it will be open until the end of the month. I'm not really sure how it's going to work, but if you want in, talk to Joe on Kickstarter or Twitter and he will be able to tell you more. Yes, the IKD interview will be available as part of this, so if you want it, there you go.

I'm so glad he temporarily opened backing.Steven wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2023 2:46 am In case there is anyone who wanted to back this but didn't, funding is going to reopen somehow and it will be open until the end of the month.

For some bizarre reason (probably a crazy period at work), considering I hang here on the forums, and I follow Shmup Junkie on twitter, I only became aware that the documentary was on Kickstarter in... February 2022 (a handful of days after it closed).
I've been kicking myself ever since, since this is something that I'd obviously like to watch, and support.
I sent a message at the time through the documentary's twitter account, kept waiting for some sort of "late backing" option to appear, and I'm finally in.
And I already have access to the Tsuneki Ikeda interview that was released on Vimeo!
For those interested in backing the documentary, do as Steven told, and send a private message on Twitter through the documentary's official page:

Once this is all done and finished, surely the next step is to do the same for Cave?

The Tsuneki Ikeda interview is just lovely.
Even as a "side-extra", it's an awesome calling card for the upcoming documentary, full of great touches (like the various game center footage or photos). But, it's those clips showing Toaplan staff at the table talking, or visiting various locations, that just warm my heart. It will be great to see these moments and chats, expanded, on the documentary.
