Stretch Goals, Visual Components, $15 Pledge
Hello
Today after recalculation of our budget, accounting quantity of our own resources and time which we are able to invest into M.O.R.E. we have very good news for our supporters! We are able to discount our stretch goals and take this game to where it should be from the beggining! What does it mean? We are able to create almost all our stretch goals at lower prices!
You will ask - how it's possible? It's all because of passionate people willing to join our cause, and with a little help of our great community (you!). For example we've already had a series of consultation about creating this game with experienced developers who are willing to help us. If our community will help us in translating our game content from English to other languages (and we are sure you will), we won't need to pay translators. And we have found another talented person who are eager to take part of this project. That's why our new stretch goals table now looks like this:
As you see after our stretch goals table reductions, we've already reached our 1st stretch goal! Thank you! As now as those stretch goals are easier to achieve, we hope that you help us reach $100.000 which will allows us to create M.O.R.E. with all these additional great features!
The second thing about which we want to inform you about are 1st and 2nd visual elements pack. Those packs will have only a little different textures on few spaceship elements, so this additions won't affect gameplay in any way. You can check on example below how this will look.
Those visual packs will stay unique forever and they won't be accessible later for other gamers. It's our way to say "thank you" for those who will pledge more. And to "thank you" all of you, we want to announce that every Kickstarter supporter, who will pledge $10 or more, will get "Kickstarter visual pack", which won't be available to other gamers later! So even if you can't afford this visiual elements pack's you can still feel rewarded as we are adding those unique elements for almost everyone here! Please note, this is a sampler pack, and the $70 and $300 will still have additional, unique elements protected under the same unique forever promise.
The third news for today about which we want to inform you is to explain how our Kickstarter forum will look like, and what you can achieve increasing your pledge from $10 to $15. If you subscribe to our game forum (www.morethegame.com) you will be able to read all "Kickstarter" part of it, but you won't be able to vote there. And all what will be there will be polls in which people who pledge $15 or more will be able to vote. For example - we will create our next alien race, and we will show you those 3 artworks... and we will ask you. Which one should be the one, who represents our new race. Other example, we will create building in our game. We will explain it purpose, and you will choose it's name. etc. In this way if you pledge $15 or more, you will have big impact on shaping the M.O.R.E. universe.
And below you can see our new aquatic race ( Olagarroans ) logo:
and our newest spaceship artworks.
Lithodoros spaceship:
and Ma-aar spaceship:
We hope that those informations, will help us reach $100.000, and will allow us to create M.O.R.E. with all those great features.

Edward, you had to have faith! One indie project in last day get $35.000.. and we have 9 more days to go. So.. please spread the word about our project and, we will see.
Creator Edward Ryan on October 18, 2012
Would really love to see the Intergalactic Menace concept in the game! don't think it will get there with 9 days to go, but hopefully we might see it in an add-on pack perhaps in the future!!!.
Creator Archon - Obsidian Order Illusive Man on October 17, 2012
o_O Single player campaign at $100K ?! That's "only" $43K away... so close...
Spread the word, spread the word, spread the word,

@May Player
1. Yes, every race will have at least 1 special ship block, which will be different in Regular/Kicstarter/70+/300+ versions.
2. They will be visible in both - Single and Multiplayer modes.
3. I think there is even a possibility to put your own logo/image/flag on your ship... But I don't know if we will have enought work force to do this. It's nice idea, and if we don't introduce it in M.O.R.E. now, we can add it in DLC.
Creator Jeff Kaplan on October 17, 2012
I'm upping my pledge by a notch. I agree with you May. One notch wouldn't break most people and it helps a great development team make something happen, that we can all take part in and in turn make happen!
Dig folks. I'll go without a few Lattes this month ;)
Creator Thor on October 17, 2012
I did look at the sample on a better LED monitor and in fact, the difference is quite visible and awesome!
I hope it attracts more players... It definitely attracted me.
Please answer just few more questions:
1) will all the 20 races get these special elements?
2) will they be visible in both - single player & multiplayer modes?
3) will the player be able to attach own country flag on the ship to be visable during battles?
Thanks for taking your time to answer these questions! :)
Creator IdeaLcenter on October 17, 2012
@May Player- here on update site there is 540px max screen width, but picture is 1024px. There is a little difference between spaceships. If you zoom camera in our game you will see it better. We still have to work on this elements, we only wanted to show you what you can expect.
Creator Thor on October 16, 2012
Now, everone go and increase the pledge at least a notch, please! :)
The game is happening and if we want to have the stretch goals all from day1 we need to do more. Even with existing backers, if everyone increased own pledge (or doubled it) - we would get all goals up to 100K and campaign mode.... That would be great!
One thing with the special visual elements... On the picture I do not see that much difference... Hmmmm curious if they are noticeable in the real game or just something that will barely be noticed? Also, will they be visable in single player mode?
