Planets - Weekly Status Update

Cubical Drift has posted the next weekly update for their funded kickstarter Planets³ with information on the games progress, and future development.

Weekly Status #2

We are proud to announce that our online store is now operational!

During the first 2 months, people who missed the Kickstarter campaign (because of the lack of a PayPal option or simply because they discovered the project too late) will have the opportunity to take part in Planets³’s funding on our website with the same prices as on Kickstarter.
In 2 months from now we will switch to a classic pre-ordering mode of the first opus “Race to Space”, with a price closer to the final price of the game.

Of course, you backers have had the exclusivity on some of the rewards.
That’s why on our website:

• some tiers have been removed
• the add-ons are gone

For the time being, you backers still need to wait a few weeks to be able to login on our website. As a backer do not use this online store yet, do not try to create an account or try to login until we send you an email to inform you that your user account has been created.

We also updated some pages on our website about the game to reflects the information we gave you in the Kickstarter updates.

Kickstarter’s campaign validation shouldn’t take much longer.
Today we can already tell you that 206 backers have canceled their payment, representing a loss of about $20 000 (there are finally 2 Space Travelers and no Lore Master). This makes the total funding drop below the Mac version stretch goal, but of course we decided to maintain it, so the Mac version will still be made.

Upcoming tasks:

• Migration of Kickstarter data on our website to enable you to logon and manage your add-ons on your account page (should be done mid-May).
• Creation of the forum (should be released at the end of may if everything goes as planned).
• In the mean time, we resumed the work on the game, you should get more details regarding our progress soon.
