and the real problem as today has shown wasn't the tiers, but exposure and traction.

Which is quite hard to get these days. We would have launched earlier, but... you know... talks about the deal weren't finalized until very close before the start, so we weren't all that sure if we could get the license. Plus press is kinda... overfloated with Kickstarter. And many other things. However. We still believe in the project. And we will make it happen. We won't let it fail, even if that means someone must take a credit on a house or something

OMG watching the kickstarter page and refreshing it every few minutes and saw the pledge numbers go up and up.

The best thing about this surge is shutting up all the self-appointed prognosticators who had decided what's wrong with the different tier levels

Actually that'd be Jesper. Not only because of work, pollen would do the rest.

4500 backers!!! ^^

We are now looking into how to create a 3D model for the bears. No one has done a 3D bear so far. But hey, next to our office is a studio which creates horses for their games. Can't be that difficult

This is Shanga Bear:



You don't need animate him. He's too cool to move.

This is a veteran battle-hardened Bear in full attack mode:



Actually he CBA to attack, he'd rather stalk them. For 13 years. No need for animations either.

And this is our Alpha Anti-Hamster Attack Squad:



They do move, but nothing fancy. Just animate 1 finger.

Oh and there's also this confused human who stumbled upon our lair and we keep for amusement:



Dunno why he claims to be a second cousin or something.

How about a lunatic asylum (...) this could even serve a greater purpose seeing how some people have been worrying about the infusion of quotes from backers and fearing that they might affect immersion negatively. This would be a great place to lock up the crazies!

You could also use it as a "threat" - "Work on those quotes, backers or they go straight to the looney bin! :jail:

Pledged 50 dollars, but it doesnt look good :/

Something tells me that a *lot* of fans of this series is completely unaware of the Kickstarter going on.. Crossing fingers for it to at least reach its funding goal

I agree, I stumbled across it purely because I checked in again after a few months.

Yep this! Looks like FC didnt manage to get the word around that well seeing there are a ton of people that haven't even heard about it yet...Shame.

This is completely unproductive but I want to point out the obvious since no one else even mentioned it. Some people (I have no idea about the proportion but I would guess it's reasonable) find the kickstarter early on (especially people who use kicktraq to browse projects as they come up) read the pitch and either back or not and they will not keep coming back to see if it's changed - they are busy looking at new projects coming up.
