Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on May 16, 2011.
Pledge $5 or more Pledge $5 or more
A free copy of the game for PC when it's available. (Other versions aren't definite yet.)
Pledge $10 or more Pledge $10 or more
The above, plus: Occasional access to new alphas or betas, including the "falling sand" mode depicted in the videos.
Pledge $25 or more Pledge $25 or more
The above, plus: Mention in the credits under "Special Thanks."
Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more
The above, plus: A PDF of a special comic story about the game, done in the art style of the "artsy" video. This will be poster-size and wide format (like, 19x19 inches) and in the form of a PDF. You can read it as-is, or print it out at your local office supply store.
Pledge $75 or more Pledge $75 or more
The above, plus: Optionally, and with your permission, your name or an alternate text of your choosing may be used in some of the random text generation the game does, for example: planet names, substance names, monster names, random jokes. I'd email you and ask for a word or name or two to add to the game's lists. Names of people, aliens, liquids, gases, planets, or maybe other things.
Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more
The above, plus: Throughout the game your character is seeking a variety of lost treasures hidden deep underground. You can name one of these treasures yourself, and I will work your treasure into the game. I must retain final approval over the treasure's name (nothing mood-breaking please), but generally I'm fairly easy going about this. Your treasure may not appear in every game; in fact, it might be a super-rare thing, only showing up once in a blue moon.
Pledge $250 or more Pledge $250 or more
The above, plus: A color, printed, signed and numbered edition of the comic mentioned above, printed as a poster.
Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more
The above, plus: A physical realization (courtesy of a friend's 3D printer) representing one of the treasures of the game, that you can actually hold in your hands, use stop papers from blow away, or use to perform dark and complex rites to the elder gods! The object should be about the size that can fit in one hand. Own a fragment of In Profundis' ancient lore made real!

John Harris has been writing computer games since the days of the Commodore 64 (a very few may know him as "The Mad Gamer"). More recently he's been hanging out on Metafilter, writing columns for GameSetWatch, and articles occasionally for Gamasutra. Because he likes defying expectations, he also maintains the comics blog Roasted Peanuts.
