Update 2
Great first day for Underworld Ascendant![edit]
Feb 4 2015
Halfway through our first day and already over $165,000 pledged towards Underworld Ascendant! Crazy cool. The team and I feel humbled, and hugely thankful for your support.
Wonderful to see how many of you are reaching out with your comments, suggestions, and thoughts on where we should go with the game. When we were developing the original Underworlds we did it largely in isolation from our fans. Much better this way! We encourage you to keep the dialog coming.
Most of all, we are thrilled to have you along with us on the creative journey to shake up the fantasy RPG genre once again.
Finally, I wanted to acknowledge that some of the descriptions we have of rewards and the like on the Kickstarter page could be written more clearly. For instance, a number of people asked if they get the full digital copy of the game at the $20 and $25 dollar pledge tiers? Absolutely yes! The use of “discounted” on these tiers was just to try to say that the full retail price of the game will be higher than these pledge tiers, since we want to offer our Kickstarter backers the game at discount.
We are revising the text to improve clarity (except the pledge tier descriptions themselves, where changes are not allowed once you go live.) We have also added some additional Q&A to the FAQ. I ask your forbearance while we work through these kinks. While we are veteran game developers, we are comparatively new to running a Kickstarter, especially one of this scale and complexity. But we’re learning.
