Planets - Post-Funding Update #14

In the first post-funding update for Planets³ the developers Cubical Drift talk about the games successful campaign, and about what will happen next.

A successful campaign for Planets³

Once again, we really want to thank you all, you are so awesome, we couldn’t have made it without your excitement and faith in our game. We even reached the first stretch goal. That’s pretty amazing !

So what’s next?

First we will need to wait for Kickstarter to validate and finalise the campaign, it'll take around 2 weeks. We also need to send surveys to all the backers to manage the pets and/or licenses add-ons.

At the same time we will open a “store” on our website in around 10 days that'll allow people who didn’t get the chance to support us on Kickstarter, to support us with a Paypal option. The first month, there's going to be a “special offer” during which people will still be eligible for some of the Kickstarter rewards (excluding the add-ons and rewards above $200). After this special period, we'll switch to classic pre-ordering.

We will also create all your accounts. You will then receive an email enabling you to access and configure your account as you want. This phase will take about 4 weeks.

We will then open the Planets³ official forum soon afterwards (so in about 6 weeks from now). We will contact all the backers whose rewards need additional details, starting on June and during the summer.

On our side, the team will start to regroup (some of us need to quit their current jobs, others need to relocate to Cannes). We should be able to start working full time on the project in late June.

So the first newsletter will be July the 1st and we'll try to keep in touch every week starting next week on our website news section (and also on Kickstarter until your Planets³ account has been created). So stay tuned!
