AQ3D Kickstarter starts TOMORROW!
By Cysero on Thursday, November 19, 2015

The AQ3D Kickstarter starts TOMORROW!

Tomorrow morning at 10:00am EST (15:00 GMT) we will begin the AQ3D Kicksarter.

It's not an over-exaggeration to say that the results of the Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign will decide the future of AQ3D and have a very significant impact on AE for a very long time.

If you've been very busy lately and this is news to you, let me explain. Tomorrow, AE will begin a Kickstarter campaign to fund the further development of AQ3D. Basically, people from around the world get the chance to back AQ3D and become a really important part of AQ3D's foundation. There will be several tiers of backer rewards so the more you give, the more you get and some of the rewards that we've cooked up and pretty sweet.

If you want to know more about Kickstarter and the backer rewards, READ THIS.

If you want to know more about why we need funding and why we're teaming with Kickstarter, READ THIS.

The Kickstarter will be running all the way through the end of the year (Ends on December 31st), and until it closes we will be talking about little else, so you'll hear about it A LOT! We will be trying to rally every single player we've got to help out.

Not everyone can donate but everyone can do something.

If you can't afford to become a backer of AQ3D or get any of the Founder packages but you still want to help out, then please spread the word. Get on Facebook and Twitter and shout about this from the rooftops! Word might spread to older players who left the AE community a while ago but still have great memories of playing our games with their friends. You might show this to someone who has never heard of us but AQ3D seems like the game that they've always wanted to play and they want to make it happen.

My favorite backer reward is the ability to turn into a Shadow Wolf and run at increased (mounted) speed.


The more eyeballs we get, the better chance that we will reach our funding goal!

Even if we don't meet our goal, the game will be coming out but it will mean dark things for AQ3D. Smaller initial release, smaller updates, slower progress, fewer features and a smaller development team (if that's possible).

We've put a lot of effort into the Kickstarter. Wa wanted to make clear how passionate we are about this, what AQ3D CAN be if it gets the funding it needs, what sets AQ3D apart from other games, and how badly we need this to work. We've also spent a lot of time trying to make the rewards for backers are suitably epic and I think we did pretty well but, in the end, all that matters is what YOU think.

Meanwhile, the AQ3D team hasn't been pausing for breath. We have also been working on the game, Oishii has been getting XP and Gold curves balanced, working on monsters to make each encounter individually challenging but not impossible, and the team has been ramping up production to add more items and content to the alpha.

Llussion has also nearly finished the first Dragon's Lair map... but he put a big Dricken there to be funny. Enjoy

Come back tomorrow to get the link to the Kickstarter and wish us luck! We will need all hands on deck for this one.

Thanks.

I just hope that this kick starter thing has a dragonpay option




Rezilia -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 5:53:08)

Why...in the world...are you doing a Kickstarter now?

Don't you think it would be more viable to do a Patreon at this point?


Kickstarters put money into a game that needs funding at an initial phase, not games that are about ready to launch.

Who is in charge of marketing in AE? x.x;




Silver Sky Magician -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 7:25:58)

^

AQ3D is in its initial phase. It is far from ready to launch - it doesn't have a storyline, a world map, a proper stat system, class upgrades, etc.




SonicTbear -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 7:29:17)

@ckdragonck: They're desperate for money. If they fail their Kickstarter, then Patreon should be their plan B like you said, but what are the chances they're gonna do that?

@above: Ninja... >.<




megakyle777 -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 7:43:25)

To add to that, a lot of Kickstarters release with a prototype or half done pruduct to raise funds to make it theirdream goal. And to add to THAT, Kickstarter is more visable then patreon and more likely to raise money.




David the Wanderer -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 8:34:41)

Patreon works very differently from Kickstarter. Supporting somebody on Patreon means giving them money for months, maybe even years, in exchange of weekly/monthly Patreon-only stuff. It's continued support, not funding. Kickstarter is for helping fund something, Patreon is to keep it running.




Insanely -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 8:46:02)

I just found out my atm debit card is a master card 0_0. All I have to do is connect it for online shopping.

But I will wait for more info regarding the kick starter and the players' feedback. Good luck AE! :D




Sora To Hoshi -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 10:08:19)

The kickstarter is live! I'm sure they'll be DNs but here's the tweet from Artix with the link.




Gorillo Titan -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 10:18:37)

Does the amount you donate compound to bigger rewards?

Wouldn't using patreon pretty much be the same as having membership with less work?




David the Wanderer -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 10:40:18)

@Gorillo Titan: 1) Yes. The more you pledge, the bigger your rewards.

2) No, because you'd have to make game accounts and Patreon accounts work in synch. It's much easier to sell Membership directly than to handle it through Patreon.




RKC -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 12:24:33)

Well no dragonpay option GG for me[:(]




Hollow Knight -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/20/2015 12:26:50)

I will be supporting once I get my paycheck. The game looks very promising and is a step in the right direction for the company in embracing the future.




Rezilia -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/21/2015 5:52:32)

While I understand that, the public already has access to the game and OBT is not far away.

You're correct that it might be too early for Patreon, but it's also too late for Kickstarter.

Indiegogo would have been the correct choice at this stage.




Insanely -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/21/2015 6:11:11)

If the project reach it's goal before the given deadline, does it still end at the given deadline?




David the Wanderer -> RE: =AQ3D= Design Notes November 19th, 2015 - AQ3D Kickstarter starts tomorrow! (11/21/2015 6:17:43)

@Insanely: Kickstarter projects can't end before their stated deadline, so, even if it reached its goal today, the Kickstarter will end on December 31st anyway. This is to allow everybody to pledge and get the rewards, even if the goal has already been reached. If the Kickstarter gets extra money, that goes into the development of the game as well.
