Kickstarter

Dear All,

Well... so this has not happened this time. We cannot yet decide if we are more tired or more down... BUT.

What there is to be said is first of all a THANK YOU, again, for all the support, encouragement, interest, and pledges we got from you. Thank you! We may be disappointed - a bit... - with the result. But we are surely very glad and grateful with all the feedback we got, with the friendships we made in the virtual space, and with all the learning this campaign has brought us.

Other than that... we need some time to digest the campaign, to have some rest (I promised myself a haircut...), and think about what the best Plan B is.

We will get back to you for sure, and will let you know what is going to happen with the project. We definitely want to go on, but we have to find the best way to do it, and for that we need to answer a couple of questions.

Should we try again on Kickstarter, if yes, what should be done differently? Should we partner with a developer agency... Should we do just a small part of the story first? Should we...?

If you have any comments which you think would help us get on - why did we fail on KS, which way could we go further - we thank you if you drop us a few lines.

Thank you for coming with us. For being here now.

Love, Cecilia, Gyula, Inko, Milan

Kedves Mind,

Először is, elnézést, hogy az elmúlt néhány Update csak angolul ment ki. Ez részben a fáradtságunk miatt volt, de inkább amiatt, hogy nem láttuk sok értelmét annak, hogy néhány magyar barátunkat abalygassuk tovább támogatásért a nagy magyar válságban. (Bár számítottunk rá, hogy így lesz, mégis meglepett bennünket, hogy a támogatóink 85%-a nem magyar volt.)

Ez a kampány most nem sikerült. Így egyelőre nem pezsgőzhetünk. De, bár fáradtak vagyunk és kicsit csalódottak is, nem húzzuk le mindjárt a redőnyt.

Először is, ismét szeretnénk megköszönni nektek, hogy velünk jöttetek ezen az izgalmas és tanulságos úton. Nagyon jó érzés volt, hogy fontos volt számotokra ez a dolog annyira, hogy átküzdjétek magatokat valamennyi regisztráción, bepötyögjétek az összes adatot, számot, megnyomjátok az összes gombot, és támogassátok, amit csinálunk. Akár a projekt volt fontos, akár az, hogy a mi ügyünk - sokat jelentett nekünk, hogy mellénk álltatok.

Bár nem értük el a célt, sokat kaptunk ettől a két hónaptól. Néhány nagyon különleges barátságot kötöttünk a világhálón, sokat sokat tanultunk ebből az egész heroikus történetből, és összességében nem gondoljuk, hogy hiába volt.

Így kis pihenés után nekilátunk kiértékelni a kampányt, a helyzetet, és elgondolkodni azon, hogy mi lenne a legjobb B terv. Ha ehhez - miért nem sikerült a kampány, merre legyen az előre stb. - van bármi hozzászólásotok, gondolatotok, tanácsotok, szívesen fogadjuk.

Addig is, mégegyszer köszönet!

Szeretettel,

Cili, Gyula, Inko, Milán

Hello there!

There have been generous pledges and increases today - thank you so much! If that would continue just like that...

Do you believe in this project? :)

If a tiny bit yes... 

...then take this trumpet with you - Amihan lends it to you for a day - and shout it out into the world...!

We may still make it...!

Take care,

we all

Dear Backers,

Four more days to go.

To be honest, we thought this was going to be just a bit easier. But it is not, so let's cook the soup with what we have...!

Inori's blue bird of hope is flying with us.

We made a good few mistakes during this campaign, we realised that quite soon. It is quite disappointing of course. But we have received so much encouragement, praise and love for this project during this campaign that...

1) we won't be giving up until the very last minute

2) even if me won't make it, it will be much much much worth having done this campaign for all the feedback we got and friendships we made.

BUT IT IS ONLY FRIDAY YET :) - there are four more days to go, and there is evidence that we can make it!!

Rutinous Kickstarter backers know how the last days can change fate! Just last week we have seen The Time Tribe raise 60% of its goal in the last 5 days, 20% of it on the very last day...

So tell your friends, its not over yet! It is not pointless to put in $10, it counts!!!

The referral bonus is alive: a push up the reward-ladder if you bring in two new backers! Some people have made it already! :)

A new reward tier is the FAMILY T-SHIRT package for $150!

For those of our backers who have not yet seen his message, please look: http://www.bocs.hu/childrenoftheelements/

Finally a picture and a tiny secret: all four characters in the story will have a magic object which is to help them understand the language of one Element. The object of Amihan, the little boy from the East, the child of the Wind, is an instrument, a little flute most likely. I am now experimenting with the image for this flute... below you can have a look!

Finally...

...a project with 6 days to go - we love it and you may as well: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/daeshinkim/songs-for-children-sung-by-characters-from-shakesp

... and a huge huge armful of LOVE from us to you for having come with us all this way! Thanks and love to all the 132 of you!

Cecilia, Gyula, Inko, Milan

Dearest backers out there,

The last week of the campaign has started! We have roughly 70% to go... Not exactly easy, but not hopeless either!

Just a brief message to tell you that there are three new screens of the App in the make! We are planning to make a demo (available to backers only) end of this week (or early next week).

In the meanwhile find new bits of colours and lines here, and on the blog. All these images will be available on T-shirt! Do you like them?

Keep fingers crossed, keep sharing the fb link and visualize "$12500" every night before going to sleep!!!

Good night! (Going to visualize now...)

Dear Everyone,

It's been a week passing very fast again... with number of backers and pledges growing just a bit slower... But what the The Time Tribe has done in their last 5 days keeps our spirits up - it's been amazing, unbelievable and encouraging.

We have 10 more days to go - and we can get on wings! Just take a look at the pictures freshly done this week (I promised to "talk" in pictures from now on): Children of the Elements arriving! This one here is Amihan from East, the Child of the Wind. You will find all four of them on the blog, this post dedicated to one of our dear backers of the $45 tier! 

Enjoy the colours just as I did while painting, join the game if you feel like, and keep an eye on the blog, there will be new pictures quite soon again!

Thank you for being here!

Let's get on wings!

All our love to you: a blackbird, a dove, a nightingale and a cuckoo

Kedves Csapatunk,

Ismét gyorsan eltelt egy hét, és bár talán egy picivel lassabban, de gyarapodott a támogatók száma is! Bizakodásunkat a Time Tribe eheti lehetetlennel határos fináléja is erősítette... mindössze szárnyakra van szükségünk, és nekünk is menni fog!

Íme hozzá a szárnyak: a négy égtáj gyermekei, érkezőben! Ez itt éppen Amihan, Keletről, a többiek a blogon. Ez egyúttal az első dedikált blogpost is, egyik kedves támogatónknak, szeretettel! Gyönyörködjetek a színekben, ha van kedvetek, játsszatok a blogon, és nézzetek időnként vissza, mert újabb képek vannak készülőben!

Köszönjük, hogy vagytok!

Az utolsó 10 napra... szárnyakra fel!

Szeretettel: a feketerigó, a galamb, a fülemüle és a kakukk
