Firstly, thanks for letting me know about this discussion Shanga. Glad to be joining the bear pit after all these years! Razz

A few thoughts that I had about pledges and addons. A lot can be learned from the hyper successful campaigns such as torment, divinity and probably more importantly pertaining to this type of game wasteland 2.

I know some of what im suggesting may seem like selling out but the ideas here are to get the game funded. Hope this makes sense as im literally writing while im thinking!

Pledge Tiers

Cant really think of what to do with the pledge tiers... hmmmm

Additional tiers as Nek suggested. A very important one would be a limited edition (say 200 or 300) of people who have their names on a gravestone. This gravestone could have a funny one-liner on it suggested by the person writing it (in keeping with the humour of the game) Or as Shanga suggested, get their names on an intel report that the mercenaries find with a reason why they are on the list (such as being a suspect in an attack or suspected of being a rebel). I would price this quite low at $40-50 dollars but with no extra goodies (such as the map). If the pledger wants any extra goodies, well that is what the addon system is for.

In the world war 2 bunker sector (or another one), you could find a set of prison cells with long dead prisoners inside there... Their dogtags could read the pledger's name (limited tier 20 people) $150 tier or something like that! Again, no other treats really except for the stuff at the $35 tier perhaps. Any other stuff the pledger wants comes as addons.

Above a certain tier and above, you should get a thank you in the credits. I would suggest above $100 here.


Addons (of great importance):

Personally, i think the $5 humble bundle deal was a great piece of marketing but probably should have been offered as a $5 addon to anyone that pledged %5 or more (if they wanted to go that low). This way, pretty much every single person would have brought an extra $5 to the party and it would now be around $15k higher but its too late for that now.

One of the first things that i always looked for in an addon is a hi-res digital map. I think FC have got it spot on with $7 as it should usually be priced between $6 and $8. The $25 dollar backers will usually get on board with this.

Taking a page out of Torment's book (pardon the pun) would be to offer graphic novella or digital comic books as addons. These could be small stories about the main antagonists or protagonists of the story. Or perhaps small stories about the events on the island leading up to the events which occur in the game. I would definitely go for these. People above a certain tier (say $75 would get these free). Furthermore, these stories could contain hints and clues to certain politics or relationships on the island to give you a taster of things to come.

Some of the items that are in the collector's edition could be separated out as addons. Not many people want to splash out $150 for the lot but may be inclined to spend some money on individual parts. These could be say $8-$10 dollars for the digital tactics guidebook or $3-$5 dollars for the mousepad (provided they had a phyical pledge already, no point in upping the shipping unnecessarily).

Beta access for 20 dollars or aplha and beta access for 40 dollars.

Additional copies of the game in a bundle. 1 additional copy is already up on the site for $20, but what about 2 additional copies for $35, or 3 copies for an extra $45 or something like that. So people can share their experiences with their friends!

Physical decent sized prints for $15-$20 dollars or something, again for physical backers only. (65$ tier for instance)

Limited edition statue (limited to 10 or something) for $200-$300 dollars each so people can splash out without having to go to $5k.
