THANK YOU ARMY!
OMG?! Looks like Red Riding Hood is going to have a hard time winning her battle and it’s all your fault 😉 In just over 2 days you and over 800 backers have enlisted in the Woolfe Army. This exceeds our wildest expectations and we can only say THANK YOU!
We’re getting some great press attention from around the world. Here are a few links to articles that caught our eye.
It’s not only these bigger media we want to thank. We have found numerous passionate gamers & cosplayers with their own underdog websites, facebook pages and youtube vlogs giving us so much love.Like you, we are also just a small team fighting for a big break… so gamers unite. YOU are our real world Woolfe Army!
You might have noticed we’re quite hesitant about giving physical rewards at this point. There are some reasons for this.
First of all, they seem quite a hassle for a small team like GRIN, taking up precious time we could use working on the game… that’s why the stickers and personalised proof of enlistment are currently our only physical rewards. They are easy to send by standard letter all over the world for a fixed price.
Also we have to take into account that the money pledged for physical rewards can not go into development… so we could reach our goal without actually having enough reserves for development after subtraction of the physical costs.
But we do realise and appreciate that you really want something more to touch, hold and cherish. Truth is we want that too. We’re thinking about a physical art book, posters, the boxed game, a Red Riding Hood cape and we’ve even been doing tests with various 3D prints. (More tips & idea’s welcome)
Now, our question to you… Is it ok for you that we add the Physical rewards as add-on’s after we reach our initial goal? That way we won’t jeopardise the magic feature or overall quality upgrade.
We got a great start, but it’s not time to rest yet. We need all the support we can get to keep the momentum we’re rolling on, so…
Find one game site/blog we’re not mentioned on… don’t spam them, but maybe send them a gentle reminder that you really like Woolfe and it would be really cool if they could help this ambitious indie title Woolfe – The Red Hood Diaries get a little more attention.
THANK YOU RECRUITS!
