Hello! Thanks so much for all your support! Even though we didn't reach our Indiegogo campaign goal, we still managed to raise a considerable sum of money. So what happens next?
Because we didn't reach our goal, it looks like we might have to release the game in an episodic format—in two parts. We're planning to launch the first half around October and the second half later as a free update. This allows us to start receiving revenue from the game while we're working on polishing the second half.
We will be fulfilling all of the perks and we're shipping them out once we're closer to launch. If you've picked "Stalburg Politician", or "Stalburg Entrepreneur", or a perk that includes a T-shirt, we'll be in touch regarding their details.
Thanks again. We wouldn't have made it this far without you.
Half of the game as a free update? I'm so glad to hear that you're not one of the developers that jump at any chance to make money like so many other mod makers gone game designers seem to do.
There is no point at charging money from the half of the game, it would just give little short-sighted gain and ultimately ruin the potential of the whole game and community.
I still hope you'll find a way to offer a drm-free option, I'd gladly buy the game full price + tip if available on the humble store.
I'm sorry that you couldn't reach your goal :(
I'm just happy that this game will get finished so at least it something better than nothing from the indiegogo campaign.
Too bad I learned about this game too late for participating the campaign. I still eagerly wait for the game to be finished and available. This is the first time in ~ten years I have found a new game interesting and worth waiting for.
