over 3 years ago – Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 08:16:48 AM

This is a magnificent achievement… one could even call it extraordinary! Although it's debatable which word is more appropriate. 😉 Either way it’s AWESOME! 🎉 We have hit our fourth stretch goal and we still have 5 days to go. Some may say, “5 days are not enough to hit any more goals”, but they would be wrong. The final days tend to be the biggest and we plan to fight down to the last seconds. Herb Dean will have to pull us off this campaign! 👊🏻🔔

+20 Production, more like +20 beauty!

With this stretch goal, we plan to bring on a new pixel artist to support us with creating pixel art illustrations for our opening scene and in-game cinematics, in-game environment showcases, journal entries and more. Plus, they will be supporting us with creating some bonus backer rewards, so stay tuned!

To kick things off, we have already shared a small digital asset pack which can be downloaded here https://81monkeys.itch.io/world-of-anterra. We will also be releasing a few special assets, just for our backers, which you can expect to see this week!

We are running two community initiatives right now and we wanted to share them with all of you!

First, we are running an NPC naming contest on our Discord (must be on Discord to enter). All you have to do to enter the draw is share our game on any social platform and click an emote on a post in our Discord each day. You will find all the details in the channel labeled “10-days-of-anterra”.

Second, we have shared a special avatar profile image to all backers and community members. We invite you to change your profile picture on any of your social platforms to help bring awareness to World of Anterra during the final days of our Kickstarter and to show your support.

Thanks to all of you, we are almost at our fourth stretch goal!!

Collector's Edition Box Art for Consoles and Kickstarter Fireside!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 08:16:35 AM

New Add-On and Kickstarter Fireside!

Hello wonderful backers! It’s been a few days since we shared an update. Sometimes we get so caught up in the messages and comments that we forget that not everyone reads the comment section or is on our Discord. We will be sharing updates more frequently going forward, starting with this one.

New Collector’s Physical Edition Box Art

We have recently posted the artwork for the collector’s physical edition (consoles only)! This is really exciting for us and a huge milestone. Thanks to all our backers for getting us to this stretch goal. If you are interested in adding the physical edition to your pledge, all you need to do is go to manage pledge, then change pledge, then select your current pledge. There, you will see the add-ons to choose from. We hope you like the art! As we said before, this box art will only be available for backers. This version will not be released after we launch.

New Developer Fireside - Kickstarter Update and AMA

As some of you may already know, we host regular developer firesides on Discord. We wanted to share this one with you as it’s specifically about our Kickstarter and touches on many things including our fulfillment strategy. We highly recommend you listen to it! And if you want to learn more about the game, you should check out our other Firesides available on our Discord.

GOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!

We hit our third stretch goal!! Way to go everyone! Our Kickstarter has been far from normal. After the first few days, no one would have predicted that we’d be hitting our third stretch goal with almost two weeks left to go. What’s even more exciting is that most successful campaigns have their biggest days at the end. That doesn’t mean we will be watching from the sidelines though. We are going to be doubling down on this campaign and we invite you to join us. We have three more stretch goals to hit! 

The first thing that we will be doing is hiring a community manager to help us spread the word and engage with our community. This means more updates more often! As an added bonus, our new community manager is already a backer and active in our community. Don’t worry though, we’re not picking someone just because they gave us 50-bucks that said some nice things about our game. This person is qualified and has already made a tremendous difference in our community. To help get things started, they will be running some NPC naming contests for all of you. We have already done this once and it was a big success. So stay tuned to learn more and keep tweeting, posting and sharing the game!

I normally add some images to make these updates more interesting so...

Here's a random spider!

Oooh! And keep your eyes out for our Collector’s Edition cover art coming next week.

Physical Add-On is ready!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 08:16:19 AM

We have updated the Kickstarter with the new “Backer Only Collector’s Physical Edition” add-on for consoles. The physical copy add-on can be applied to any tier. Before you go looking for it, there are a few things to consider.

How much will it cost? The physical copy will only be available for a $50 add-on. We realize that this price is not cheap! The team worked really hard to keep the price down and we consulted with many partners, including other devs who have launched physical copies as part of their Kickstarter. If you really want a physical copy, but are unsure of the price, keep in mind that no one will stop you from selling your digital copy key.

What does “Collector’s Edition” mean? This is where things get interesting! You will be the only people in the world with these versions of the game. We had a very cool cover designed, but after talking with our community and hearing the level of interest and excitement for a physical, we decided to take it to another level… which leads to the next question.

Where’s the artwork? We are currently in the process of creating a completely new hand-illustrated cover that is both retro-inspired and lore based…  This cover will not be released anywhere else, so this is your only chance to get it! Because of the extra effort being put into the box art, we will not be ready to reveal it until next week. You are welcome to either wait until the art is revealed, or add it to your pledge now. You will always be able to change your pledges before the end of the campaign.

Thanks for reading this and for being part of our community!
