Another stretch goal down! We are happy to announce that we’ve made our $2.6M stretch goal counting both Kickstarter and PayPal backers!



We have a lot of great stuff planned over the next six days. Josh is doing a lore update tomorrow along with some other BIG announcements, we are organizing an AMA over on reddit so everyone can ask Tim, Josh, Feargus and myself (Adam) a ton of questions, and we are getting our crazy ideas put together for the live stream of the last hours of the campaign next Tuesday.

Along with this update, we wanted to get some housekeeping out of the way. First off, we get asked a lot about what is in each of our reward tiers. You can find the full list farther down in this update. We are going to keep this list constantly updated, so if you ever need to refer to it, just come back to this update.

We are also working on our main Kickstarter page to keep things organized and have a new stretch goal image that combines all the stretch goals that have been added.



The Chanter and Paladin classes are up next at $2.7M, and the talented George Ziets will be joining the team if we hit $2.8m! With each stretch goal hit not only are we adding a new feature, we are also making the entire game larger. The additional money raised lets us add designers, artists, animators, and programmers to help build this incredible new world we are creating. This means adding more reactive quests, choice and consequence opportunities, a varied bestiary, memorable characters, adventure areas, and combat abilities.


New Add-On

Due to popular demand and for a limited time, we are offering the ability to add our first expansion pack, due out approximately six months after Project Eternity ships. Any money contributed to add-on the expansion now will be used to make the main game larger. The expansion budget is not being created by money from this Kickstarter.

• Digital Download of Expansion Pack + $20 (included in tiers $165 and above)

We will be sweetening the $165 reward tier with something extra in the upcoming days as well.

Thanks

[rjshae]

More good news! So the PayPal tally must be around a half-million then. This project may make US$3million yet.

[Arkeus]

Ok, i pledged 100$ with a 80$ reward (digital tier).

Does this mean i get the expansion pack, or do i need to do something special?

More good news! So the PayPal tally must be around a half-million then. This project may make US$3million yet.

It must be at least 40K, nothing to do with being half a million.

[Hiro Protagonist II]

If 50,000 people add the $20 expansion on their pledge, that's another 1 million dollars.

Lets make this main game into BG2 size. Maybe this isn't a bad idea after all.

Oops, you're right. Long day and all that...

Upped dat pledge.

Expansion add-on just got another 30$ from me.

[rjshae]

Umm... really dumb question: am I supposed to be able to order just the T-Shirt through a separate $25 PayPal pledge? Or will that just be a 'gear' option in the aftermath?

They removed the 2.6k picture and incorparated it into the big one. So, the links aren't there anymore

It was a tongue-in-cheek freakout, but I do appreciate the paste. Thanks.


Ah, well. Ticker is currently at $2,565,486, not $2.6. Wonder if the instability is due to add-ons or the general tier massaging. Welp.

[Shades]

Hooray, another goal down! Good to see all those reward tiers and achieved stretch goals in lists like that.

Seeing the t-shirts though I'm now curious. Project Eternity is the temporary name (or project name) until a suitable title is decided upon, correct? So won't the t-shirt designs end up being different in the end?

The remaining amount is most likely due to PayPal pledges. Hopefully those keeps increasing as well

AHA, right, totally forgot about that.

[Cantousent]

I'm thinking of adding at least $20 to my pledge. My current tier includes the x-pac, but I could add it on to one or two of the games and just tell the person getting it that it's both Christmas and birthday. Huzzah! I'm going to wait until the last minute at this point, however, until I see what the newer updates have to offer. I think the xpac download is a reasonable compromise for folks who would otherwise miss it.

[hideo kuze]

Adam,

any chance for a PE keychain with an uroboros?

cheaper version:
+10$ upgrade




more expensive version:
+15$ upgrade, included in tiers >= 250$

Edited by hideo kuze, 10 October 2012 - 05:35 PM.

[Cantousent]

I kind of like the cheap one better. I dunno. I think a thumb drive would work better. I just wonder how they're going to work out all this physical tier stuff. I mean, on one hand, the t-shirts were always a given in that virtually everyone seems to offer t-shirts for sale and as advertising. The mousepad doesn't seem like such a bad idea, but the more they delve into physical items, the more of a pain it's going to be to sort through all the stuff.
