Legate of Mineta Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Everyone; We're happy to be able to show you a preview of our latest Kickstarter for Holdfast: Record of the Dwarven Kingdoms. Several Reward Tiers (an early bird special, another set of custom dice, a Dwarven miniature) need to be added, and some text adjusted, but here it is otherwise in all its glory: Let us know what you think!

Schwarzbart Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 For the Tin Man reward I would love to know a) where would we be able to download it for PC / Android is it DRM free c) will the $15 the retail price or will it higher? d) is Linux also planed as Tin Man aperantly want to add Linux "soon" for theyr own gamebooks.

Legate of Mineta Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Schwarzbart; Great questions for the FAQ: a) Google for the Android, Desura for the PC. Yes. c) I imagine the retail price will be lower, probably $5.99, as with their other games. The $15 price point, however, also includes both the PDF and beta access to the PDF, thus the higher cost (well...and development funds!) d) I imagine yes, although Tin Man Games will ultimately make that decision. iOS is a probability, too.

Schwarzbart Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hmm c) will for sure cost some backer but if you offer the Tin Man game without the PDF it will hurt your PDF sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Schwarbart; We just had a long meeting on this very subject, with the feedback we've gotten to date on those Tiers. The issue is that we use Kickstarter to secure funding, and without that funding, the project cannot be completed. Yet we also want to provide unique and interesting awards, available nowhere else, as a thank you for your patronage. Ultimately, what decided our discussion was FTL- those of us that had Kickstarted it didn't like it when the retail price turned out to be less than the Kickstarter Tier price, and so we've decided to reverse ourselves and rework our digital Tiers to: $5 - Application $10 - Application, digital copy, beta access to the digital copy ...this is a significant risk to us in terms of meeting our $20k funding level, but we'll stand on our merits and see what happens. Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyaa Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hmm, the music at the end of the video got cut off. Maybe you have a unshown credit screen for the music to finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I'm rater sure your team will deliver what is promised when the founding get trough others wont see you trough the rose-colered glass of a long time Academagia fan ^^.

Legate of Mineta Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Nyaa; Haha! No, the orchestra is meant to swell up at the end, but because of how loud it gets, it does seem to be cut off, doesn't it? We may tinker with that before launch.

Schwarzbart Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 So the reward steps ar now $5, $10 then $20 ($35 for non US)? How about special digital only versions with the additional illustration and/or the detailed map set at a higher price level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Schwarzbart; It's under discussion- we (probably) can't prepare a special KS version, but we can provide some special electronic 'books', such as the map set. Great thought, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 The Digital Map set would probably also a nice AddOn if you dont mind the addetional hassle AddOns will give to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 For the $15 tier reward, if I got it for my PC I still get it on other devices right? Also who narrated the trailer? Was it you Legate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Leoshi; No- you have to choose Android, Mac or PC. Unfortunately, we cannot give you a code for all three platforms. The trailer was narrated by the President of the company- same as Ars Magica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Darn. But I'm still supporting you all. *Salute* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 In chase you plan to do AddOns to the KS Campaign then adding $5 for a extra Key could be interesting also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 It would be cool- that's up to Tin Man Games, though, as they have authorized only a single code. Sorry, Leoshi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Nice Video even if I hoped to see a short szene where the speaker or even the team is be seen. But the Team introduction can then be a update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah, it's hard to get the whole Team together, which is why we didn't do it this time. I doubt we'll be do it for an Update, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 You can do one Team member after a other via Updates and so getting some more updates together. (I saw at last 2 KS doing this via Video Chat.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
left1000 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 speaking of promoting your games and companies have you considered steam greenlight? I can't find any of your games on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 @left1000 BCS tryed it with Scheherazade but failed misserable http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92968631&searchtext=1931%3A+Scheherazade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoshi Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Woah! Woah! Not miserably. Just unsuccessful with the Steam crowd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yes that what I wanted to say Scherezade was able to sell at other places but at Greenlight they failed to gater enough interest. Even worse at last at the first 15 pages of the greenlight forum there was a huge load of negative comments about this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 left1000; In fact, we have promoted Scheherazade there, but not Academagia or Holdfast (yet)- it's a good suggestion, though, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I was wondering if you might consider expanding the digital-only options on the kickstarter. (Not that I really know in which direction..) but the added shipping to most of the world is a bit off-putting Either way you've gotten an additional gateward, lets hope there'll be many more.
