As of noon on Saturday, the campaign official closed with over $62k raised, which includes the Stretch Goal for Enhanced Campaign Mode! Some of you may be bummed we didn't get to Rook City Renegades, but I wouldn't worry. First things first, after all!
Looking Forward Now that the campaign has ended, BackerKit will give you 2 weeks to correct any billing issues, and then we will send out surveys. Look for those on or around December 2nd. We'll then charge cards at the end of the week. Add-ons for already existing products (as well as Super-Scientific Tachyon Cards) will begin shipping out on or around December 9th.
Thank you again for all your support. We're excited to continue work on Sentinels of the Multiverse 2 - Coming in 2025!
Time flies and here we are, only 4 days away from the fundraiser end.. We lost a few backers on the way and hoping for some help to recover those spots!
It's really important for the game and for the backers to continue supporting the game until the last hour. Actually, the last days ARE the most important. So if you're still waiting for the right moment, it's definitely the time! You can check out how many goals we already reached and how many game features we unlocked so far!
Without Your help this game would not happen, so truly thank you from my heart for all the support! I'm already working hard through all the features and can't wait to release new playtests and events!
The achievements have now been updated and adjusted, we so close to a few of these that I'm sure we will manage to unlock the galaxy decor set!
There's just 24 hours remaining in the campaign and we're so close to unlocking Enhanced Campaign Mode!
As of this writing, there's just over $4k left to reach the $60k stretch goal - that's only around 150 new pledges! Think of anyone you know who loves Sentinels, heroes, comics, or is just feeling particularly generous, and send them to SentinelsDigital.com/2 before lunchtime tomorrow!
Musical Multiverse!
Yesterday afternoon Jean-Marc showed the world the first preview of the new music system he's building for Sentinels 2. If you've played Sentinels 1, the music will certainly feel familiar, but the way music will be used in Sentinels 2 has been completely rethought. Check out the rebroadcast below, or send your friends the link to YouTube!
The spreadsheet is now finished. I want to put a deadline on address changes, so please let us know by the 20th if you need an address change before shipping starts.
A reminder to please get your address changes in at [email protected] soon else we may ship to the wrong address. Please only use this email for address changes at this time or if you are having a hard time locating your order. The team shipping the orders is small with limited time, so we want to prioritize it on orders that need immediate help, else it can flood the inbox and bury the orders that need address changes. We plan to get all merch shipped out before Christmas. There may be delays after the order has shipped due to customs, so please expect that.Â
Some people have asked about voice request delivery timelines. Although we had an estimated shipping for September, that was a date only set for physical merch, as stated on the main backerkit page under shipping. We want to prioritise voice acting for the game first. I imagine the voice requests will take quite a long time to get through and it can be hard to get session dates with the VA's (a lot of them have conventions or other sessions that we need to work around). We're currently trying to meet with them as much as we can just to finish off gameplay dialogue. We have an important deadline for localisation so the voice lines need to be done for the game before the end of the year. Once that is wrapped up we can start work on delivery for the voice lines for backerkit. Originally I had hoped we'd be wrapped with the voice acting already, but around the time of the orchestra our team at Humble Games was let go, which also happened during a milestone submission that delayed our expected funding. If we can get it done sooner than Ill keep you all in the loop.
In terms of the demo, I accidentally gave you all the Dutch Dance Battle oops! This was a patreon only demo, but I hope you all enjoyed haha see it as a thank you for being so awesome and patient! Just make sure you do not stream this demo as it is in a very early state of polish. If you are struggling to find the download it will be under your survey https://help.backerkit.com/article/662-where-can-i-find-my-digital-downloads , it will be the same download as before, I've simply replaced the google drive download link, so redownload it again with the new link.
I'll also start putting up the HD files for the stickers and prints under the same digital downloads location in the next day or two. I'm just polishing up Dutchs print a bit more and finishing off Fantoccios. The prints are easy as heck to get printed as we can get them done in a day via a print shop in town, so I figure I'd spend a bit of extra time being picky about the shading and quality of the prints whilst shipping was being figured out. All the signed prints are already signed and ready for shipping. We actually had to buy some special spray to make sure the signatures don't get smudged during transit.Â
Also the sticker sheets come with 2 sheets now! rather than just 1. Originally we promised the power up sticker sheet, but I had some very cool transparent sticker designs I wanted to use <3Â
We now have a direct line to the people handling shipping and merch, [email protected]
We are getting close to mass shipping the merch after the test shipping parcels went through. The person handling it wanted to take a bit longer to ensure both Kickstarter and Backerkit orders were combined so we don't end up sending out more than one parcel, but also to make sure we have all the correct size packaging boxes to ensure everyones orders come through in one piece. Took him a bit to code all the formula and figure out a good system. I admit I did not consider what a task getting the correct packaging sizes would be, when people can mix and match their orders with keychains, prints and shirts etc.Â
To add further context. The person handling shipping is the same person handling our project plan. The complications with Humble Games meant he had to do a lot of work reworking our project plan and establishing a new relationship with our new publishing team after the previous one was laid off. So he is balancing both the project management and this. He has spent about 30 hours trying to work the data so that shipping will be easy and fast once it starts.Â
Thanks for being patient and as mentioned above please do contact that email if you need any help, like swapping out your address. Also please check to see if you have an email from this address. We had some issues with some of the orders so emails were sent out to 100 people, so double check you don't have an email sat in spam from this address, or add the email to your trusted email list.
We are pulling into the home stretch - just 3 days remaining in the campaign!
We are so grateful for your support so far, and it looks like we have a real shot at reaching the 60k stretch goal for Enhanced Campaign Mode. Make sure to tell your friends before Saturday - the world needs heroism, perhaps now more than ever!
Music of the Multiverse Thursday, 11/14 at 1 pm Eastern, head over to our Twitch channel and join Jean-Marc for a peek at how the music of Sentinels 2 will be dynamically adapted from the original Sentinels of the Multiverse!
