Kickstarter Preview!

[medierra]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to, the long awaited... wait, well, I guess technically you're still waiting for it but here your chance to check out the Kickstarter project give us feedback before we launch it. It was a TON of work but, hopefully it will be worthwhile. I hope you all like it.

It is basically ready to go, I think, but I wanted to get your approval before I submit it. Once submitted, it will apparently take 1-3 days for Kickstarter to review and approve it before it goes live.

So anyway, let us know what you think. Unless something is horribly wrong, I'd like to try to submit it tonight so that it will hit early / middle of next week. Apparently we can still make minor tweaks once KS approves it but before we finally make it live.

Edit: The original preview link was taken down. See Kickstarter Preview II! for the current link. /edit

We will be releasing information soon about how the upgrade process will work for existing key-holders who want to also pledge on KS. Please save those questions for a later thread.

For the $450 pledge I don't think you need to explain what the crate story is again. Delete the explanation in the parenthesis and just say refer to the previous pledges. As it is right now it is kind of redundant. Waiting for the video to load, so I will comment on that once it does. (And I might make another huge edit to my previous thread where I stated my thoughts on the other videos you have posted.)

Cool commentaries video! Sorry for couldn't make comment nowadays. Have been busy with works but I'm still actively checking out for update about the game system. 2 years long I've been proud stalking medierra!

The whole message seems very well communicated and is without any marketing industry feel.

The only thing that struck me was the word, sandbox, in the (movie) picture. It seems unnecessary, or distracting somehow. I cant say if it should be removed or not. Open world ARPG seems slick and quicker but is that good here. The Open/sandbox feature/game-quality is adequately explained in the description. The picture is one of the first visuals -- that's the extent of it. People who support are going to be readers.

And yes, modding tools and translations would be worth a mention if you were planning providing them.

WTF is that?

Massively stylish George Washington style powdered wig in-game accessory

Kind of alternative haircut or only an item?

On your site you sell the normal edition for 19.85$, but at 18$ on kickstarter plus an exclusive "service medal". So maybe you should give another bonus for those who bought on your site.

For the pledges, I find the 1000$ to be "overpowered" compared to the previous one because of to the ratio game copy/pledge.

Limited edition Grim Dawn T-shirt only available for backers + Grim Dawn poster suitable for framing

Will you post a picture/plan T-shirt before or during the kickstarter project? Because I only wear red shirts.

(Please add $10 for shipping outside the US)

Canada too?

120$ : Special edition boxed
150$ : Deluxe edition boxed
>200$ Everything from the previous rewards

What is the difference between Special and Deluxe?
Will >200$ get both or only the best one?

The things missing from the page (that could be added in the FAQ):
-Length of the game
-Possibility of Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, etc port
-Translation
-Modding tools/support
-Universe of the game
-Distributor, your site only, possibility of STEAM, Desura...
-What for early costumers (discounts or refund?)
-Maybe also integrate some small images, screenshots or concept arts, because the page is a huge block of text someplace.
Also don't forget you may have to sign 1785 books, so buy lot of pen and Ibuprofen.

For me the Video is OK. Well explained, not dull and short enough.

$120 for a boxed copy, which is what I would want, seems like a lot. I threw in $50 for the Wasteland 2 KS and it's coming with a boxed copy + cloth map.

Or maybe you can make the Normal edition worth $19.85 on the KS page. I personally don't care about service medal but feel that the prices for the edition on website and KS should be same

We saw that most of the other successful game projects on Kickstarter had $15 as their lowest tier. We felt like it would be a good idea to make our lowest tier a little closer to that. I figured it was less than a $2 difference and no different than something going on sale.

Also, we're going to add an early supporter medal to the Normal edition website pre-order. I probably should have mentioned that in advance.

Looks kickass Bruno! Time to go tell paypal to take money from my bank account. For the love of god please tell me the song in the video is in the game. If not please add it or at least tell me what its from. ARPGs could definitely use more metal when appropriate.

Someone needs to discover the secret passage in TQIT.

As for the Kickstarter video, it looks and sounds great to me. I like the specific mention about how the game development has hardcore players in mind.
