almost 3 years ago – Thu, Jul 01, 2021 at 03:55:31 PM

Hello folks!

Very quick update today: surveys have been sent! 

You can specify the details of your pledge (desired platform, plushies, name to include in the credits, etc) and for everyone who wishes to upgrade their pledge, you can do so by adding additional items!

If you have questions about the surveys or have any issues, you can DM us on Kickstarter or send an email to [email protected].

For those of you who had problems with the payment, you will also receive the survey with the opportunity to fix the payment.

Last update I forgot to tell you that the language poll will close at the end of July. Answer to vote what language would you like us to include in Elementallis, besides English, Catalan and Spanish. Cast your vote here!

Let me remind you to wishlist Elementallis on Steam (even if you will receive the game no matter what, it helps us a lot to gain visibility on the platform!) and join our Discord <3 

Talk to you soon! Thank you :)

Post Kickstarter Update: surveys, late backing, new platforms, language poll, fan art contest and new team member!
almost 3 years ago – Sat, Jun 26, 2021 at 02:41:39 AM

Hello!

After the wild ride our campaign was (thanks again!) and dealing with the business side of thing, we are getting back to development, which personally makes me very happy. I have a lot of things to talk about today, so buckle up and let's go!

Surveys

We have started sending the surveys so you can specify the details of your orders (desired platform, plushies, name to include in the credits, etc). Not all the surveys are sent at the same time, we've sent a small amount of them to catch any errors in the surveys and make sure everything runs smoothly. After this, we will send the survey to everyone.

We would appreciate if you can answer them as quick as possible, it will make our managing tasks easier for us :)

For the surveys we are using the service from Backerkit, as it helps us a ton to manage all the amount of data. Also, for everyone who wishes to upgrade their pledge, you can do so by adding additional items!

If you have questions about the surveys or have any issues, you can DM us on Kickstarter or send an email to [email protected] 

Late Backing

Backerkit service also allows us to open a late backing store. We've received a lot of messages these past few days from people who missed the campaign or weren't able to pledge and they wanted to, so we have decided to open the store for a month. The store will be live until the 31st of July and you'll be able to purchase there the add-ons that were available during the campaign.

Check out the store here!

Mac and Linux confirmed

We can confirm that Elementallis will be available on Mac and Linux. If you selected a tier containing a digital copy of the game for PC, those platforms will be included. Also, on the physical edition for PC, these platforms will also be included besides Windows.

We have added those versions to the demo, you can check them out here! Keep in mind that those versions have not been as tested as much as the Windows one (they will be!). If you find any bugs on those platforms, it would be super helpful for us if you tell us (you can contact us through Discord).

Fan art contest

We announced the winners of our fan art contest on Twitter. You can check it out here. You can also check all the entries using #ElementallisKickstarter on Twitter. Congratulations to the winners and thank you all for participating! <3

Language Poll

Since we reached our very last Stretch Goal (you are awesome), we have created a poll so you can vote what language would you like us to include in Elementallis, besides English, Catalan and Spanish. 

Cast your vote here!

New member approaches

As a result of the penultimate Stretch Goal, we are teaming up with a writer to work on the story and narrative of Elementallis. Let me introduce you to Diego Freire! As a professional writer in Chibig(they made the awesome Summer in Mara), his work will add a lot of quality to the story we wanted to tell. We have already started to work together and everything is shaping up great :)

That's all folks! I wanted to ask you a couple things before I finish this update:

Wishlist Elementallis on Steam, please. It helps us indie devs a lot, since the game positions on the platform depending on the amount of wishlists. Having a good amount before the game launches will help Elementallis get visibility and will be seen by more people.

Join our Discord. We will be assigning your roles when we receive your answers to the surveys, but in the meantime, gather with our extremely welcoming community :)

Starting next month we will write a Kickstarter update every month with news about Elementallis and its development. We look forward to share the development process with all of you :D

As always, thank you very much for your support!

Thank you so much! Now what?

We are repeating ourselves a lot, but let me say it again: thank you. You have made this campaign extremely successful and we've achieved some amazing numbers. You even smashed our last Stretch Goal and as such Elementallis will be localized to an additional language.

We are looking forward to continuing with development and keeping you updated. We truly can not wait to show you all the cool things we’ve been working on! :D

What's next?

We have a few things planned for the next couple weeks:

- Fan Art Contest. We have all the entries to the fan art contest and will announce the winners in the next few days. We will contact you if you’re a winner asking for the necessary information to send over the prizes. Such prizes will be sent at the same time as the rest of the rewards for all backers. They are amazing creations and we are very grateful for all the entries. You've exceeded our expectations (This has been my favorite part of the Kickstarter, by the way ;) ).

- Surveys. We are currently preparing the surveys so you can give us personalized details about your pledges. For example: what name would you like featured in the credits, what platforms would you like to play Elementallis on, what Element do you want for your plushie, etc. It would help us a lot if you could answer the survey as soon as you receive it so we can have everything set. We will send the surveys in ~2 weeks.

- Discord roles. We will start giving you the ‘Kickstarter Supporter’ Discord role after we receive your answers to the survey as we’ll need your handle in order to do so.

- Additional language poll. We are also preparing a poll so all of you can vote on what extra language would you like Elementallis to be localized to.

What to do if I have any problem

If you've had any problems with your payment you should have received an email from Kickstarter with the instructions on how to fix that problem. Keep in mind that you have some days to fix it, but if the payment isn't collected after the timeframe, you'll lose your pledge and the rewards that came with it.

If you have any issue with your payment, or have any questions, you can ask us here on Kickstarter directly (you can DM me) or you can send an email to [email protected] and we will do our best to help.

Talk to you soon and thanks again!

We have reached another Stretch Goal! Last Stretch Goal revealed!
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Jun 04, 2021 at 01:07:52 AM

Hello!

Thank you again! You have smashed another Stretch Goal! We are very close to the end of the campaign (32 hours left!) and we are 500 % funded and you are 2305 backers. 

Since we have surpassed the 90000€, a Bestiary will expand our lore and provide another challenge for you to overcome! On top of that, we can confirm that a writer will help us with the story and narrative (we are extremely happy about it and can't wait for you to experience the story :D).

And now, our final reveal!

Last Stretch Goal Reveal: "Additional Language"!

We have reached all the previous Stretch Goals that add content to the game, and we can't humanly add more at the moment, so we think that this would be a good opportunity to add an additional language localization to Elementallis. If we reach 110000€, another language will be added, besides English, Spanish and Catalan. Also, you will decide which language! We will make a poll for all the backers and we will add the most requested language!

Thank you! We are extremely grateful for your support :)

Last 48 hours to support Elementallis!
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 02, 2021 at 07:29:52 PM

Hey everyone!

Our campaign is coming to an end now, just two days remaining! This has been a very intense experience so far, you can not imagine how extremely grateful we are for your support. You are now 2104 backers and have funded 457% of the campaign as I'm writing this.

You have exceeded our expectations by a lot. I remember when we launched the campaign. While we expected enough support to get funded, there was also a part of us who had a fear of not reaching that 100%. Developing Elementallis after an unsuccessful campaign would have been extremely difficult, perhaps impossible.

Yet you did the impossible. 24 hours after we I launched the campaign we were funded. You have been supporting Elementallis on social media. You have drawn amazing fan arts. You have streamed the demo. You have shared it with your friends. You have given us a lot of feedback. You have made this possible.

It sounds extremely cliché, I know, but it's also the truth. When I quit my job to start developing Elementallis, I had no clue we would get this much support. I assure you that we’ll be working on Elementallis with the intention of making the best game possible for you all, the game you deserve.

Thank you very much. Keep being awesome.

We’ve lowered the price of the "Design an Enemy!" tier and have opened up a couple more entries to the "All the Plushies!" tier. Please consider checking them out if you are interested in them!
