commented on a project@David & @Mike - There are logistical problems to be had with creating a bunch of varied shipments. We are not and our fulfillment company is not necessarily well setup to handling an upwards of a 1,000 piece shipment in good time while putting tons of different things in the boxes. Certainly not while keeping the error rate low. On top of that, overfunding goals need to pertain to the performance of a particular game. Not the popularity of Belfort, Homesteaders, or any other game we would sell on top on the current Kickstarter project.

Posted project update #12Overfunding Achievement Unlocked - Next at $50,000 - EXCLUSIVE BOX
Thank you for the pleasant surprise this morning of having passed $45,000 and unlocked the next overfunding achievement.
Since you will have a large number of bonuses in your boxes of Ground Floor, we thought that it would be appropriate to commemorate them with an exclusive Kickstarter box. This will feature the same artwork, but will have an additional "Kickstarter Blob" and game designer signature digitally printed on the box.
That is what will be unlocked at $50,000 of total funding.
I know that $75,000 looks like it is far away, but I know we can make it there. We want you to help us help you get more stuff (Skyline) out of this project. So, please share with your friends, and enjoy the video.

commented on a project@Julia - I will consider the possibility of doing T-Shirts. We did that for For The Win, and moved 2-3 dozen. The T-Shirts would be standard TMG logo shirts though, which are silk-screened, if I decided to add this. I want to be confident in the quality of the image placed on shirts, and I do not have sufficient expertise to know that the Ground Floor image on a shirt would properly last. And I know that I will not be sufficiently confident in time for the end of the project.

commented on a project@Adam - Your top end on the projection should have an even steeper curve which grows exponentially towards the top. Or maybe have the range provide 3 targets, the 2 you have now and 1 additional which provides for geometric/exponential growth in the last 2-3 days.

commented on a project@Josiah, @David, @Jonathan - A company will be defined as much by what they choose to do, but also what they choose not to do. We choose to make fantastic games for different game markets (hobby niche, mass, gateway). We are choosing to not be T-Shirt, sticker, or bag salesmen. It will distract us from our focus. I am confident that the total funding will be over $75,000. Michael

commented on a project@Lucas - There is no BGG contest coming. The last time I did this for a Kickstarter project, it did not provide sufficient benefit for the cost. Mainly because I can reach so many people already. @Ed - $75,000 is coming. And it will come fast as people feel that it is in jeopardy and start to really push the project forward. @Matthew - Thanks those are great suggestions. @Brian - This is the mid project lull, it happens all of the time for everybody. Things have still been moving along decently well.

I think you'll be much, much happier over the long-run having a box that fits everything.
Is the KS box going to be larger ?
