Will receive a registered copy of the game. Several versions will be made available as the work progresses through alpha, beta and release stages. First version (alpha) will be made available in early August.
Pledge $25 or more Pledge $25 or more
Same as the $10 reward -- but you will also get the warm fuzzy feeling for going above and beyond. That, and I'll give you the link to draw your own little dorfs using the template I made up (it's an image you can print out)
Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more
Same as the $10 reward -- but will also receive an official Lords of Uberdark T-Shirt, featuring some sort of snazzy character artwork.
Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more
Will receive (in addition to the above) a Project Notebook -- a hardback book which contains miscellaneous formulas, notes, sketches, etc -- related to the making of Lords of Uberdark and signed by the author.
Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more
Will receive (in addition to the above) a custom text statement that will be shown to the user when the game starts (ie "Dedicated to ~~~~~~"). Text will show up one tenth of the time (randomly), after the game has loaded. www addresses will not be permitted and text must not be vulgar.
Pledge $1,000 or more Pledge $1,000 or more
Corporate sponsorship. Will display corporate logo while the game is loading. All corporate logos will be stuffed into a single image (something like a racecar), and will be sized according to the pledge amount (more money means a larger logo). Logos must not be vulgar.
Pledge $1,500 or more Pledge $1,500 or more
Will receive a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, knowing that you just bought me a shiny new computer. That's all.

Hi -- my name is Aaron. I'm a self-taught programmer and artist, and I've been writing videogames my entire life. Two of my better known works are Egoboo and SoulFu -- and NetHack and Secret of Mana are the biggest influences on my work.
yea I think its about time for a new update.
i feel as if it's time for 0.43. other than that lords of uberdark is awesome! keep up the awesomeness
uberdark-alpha-42.zip/uberdark-alpha-42/uberdark.exe is infected with Win32.LocalInfect.2.
Most likely a false positive, but you still might want to check that out.
I'm actually quite glad to get less updates, seems like there are too many. Once a month is plenty.
i view the myself in lords of uberdark as the last earth bender within an empty world trying to bring back civilization.
wow that was fast :D
does crafting work? I feel like I cant get anything in the inventory to work. I looked for a post about it, but I could be over looking something.
I love the progress, Aaron. Some people might not realize what an insane thing you are doing with Uberdark, but I do! Keep up the excellent progress. The game is leaps and bounds better every time I play.
updates looking cool thanks aaron
guys he did put up a video on his youtube channel like half a month ago, he just didn't put it as a kickstarter update.
Oh come on. I have played many other games where the developer NEVER talks to his community unless there is something to report.
Dead Frontier being a prime example of this. Neil Yates hasn't told us anything to do with development since December last year at least. Every few weeks he might add a 'X' Holiday special item but no info on what else he has done.
Aaron seems no different to Neil on this matter but I have equal respect and faith in both of them.
You're right. I am sorry. It's only been 42 days without any word from Aaron. I'm sure he is just working so hard that he can't spare 10 seconds to say, "Hey, everything is going fine. I hope to have the next update out soon". I'm glad you have blind faith in Aaron and LoU's future. Hopefully it's well-founded.
You really are a credit to the community >_<
Everyone, Aaron quit developing the game. It's done. Go home.
yeah i think its about time he posts another blog ;)
when's the next update coming out?
my line didnt work
Monday update still a go?
^ now lets make a line of people saying the same
I am a proud backer
Would just like to commend Aaron for making such great progress through the game's development, especially under so much pressure to deliver, The expectations for this game are high and your advancement towards fulfilling these expectations has been swifter than I imagined. Well done, you're doing a great job. Keep the updates coming and make me a proud backer :)
After seeing some of the comments, I would like some of you to consider the following.
If you know what Minecraft is, you probably know Notch.
Notch is a transparent guy. He posts everything he is doing on Twitter.
He gets loads of grief all around for the time he is on vacation.
It's probably in Aaron's better interests to not share every bit of headway as soon as its done, as he will get less grief if say he did a load one week and took a load off another.
Also, I got my shirt a few days ago. It's very cool!
Keep up the good work!
I figured you would love my name. Anything to do with getting a facial is bound to excite you. All my works of art (or comments, as you may say) are copyrighted so if you print it without my permission you are violating the law, you criminal scum.
First thing, I love your name, how much hate can you have for yourself if you feel the need to put an inappropriate name for your online activities?
Also, I like it here, I think I'll continue to post comments now and again, thanks for your feedback though, I'm going to print it off and frame it.
now your happy XD
Woohoo! got my shirt today!
Sean Duffy, bro, I understand that between November 7th and December 18th that Aaron was so busy he couldn't let everyone know he was alive and hadn't abandoned the project. Considering the fact that he got some programming done means that he most likely did not have any free time away from his family. I also understand that typing sentences and programming are two vastly different things and that you don't need to know how to do one to do the other. Anyway, judging by your picture, you are a very awesome guy. Feel free to never post anymore comments here again.
yeah i agree with sean duffy some people need to be patient games do take time and in my previous comments i ment it on aarons side its not a large amount of people working on the game at the moments so be patient... cant wait till inventory though and for you aaron i would like to say that i still have respect for you but its probably best if you do blogs a bit more frequently otherwise it will be like black mesa because even though you are working on the game people dont know that and freak out XD
888!
Wow, oh god, some people do actually have plans like Christmas, yes you donated money, but if you had a project I'm sure you'd most likely put it on hold for family and friends, be grateful.
I think I stopped caring, I payed my $50 got an email about shipping information about my shirt and have yet to see it.
He probably gave up. A guy who is too lazy/"busy" to type a single sentence into a comment box is not someone you want making a guy.

that is a good point aroon can u just give us a update on what the changelist is so far and such
i just want Arron to keep us updated more than once a month to be honest!!
guys dont feel anxious relax its gona be a great update probably and if its not well so be it no matter to me just remember that aaron probably enjoys doin this so he wont just give up
It'll have been a month as of tomorrow since the last update. I'm getting anxious. Hopefully in all this time he's be able to make massive improvements.
i would really like more updates on twitter insted of just whenever you bring out an alpha update please that would be great and btw im loving the bombs
The new collision system is really nice,
the one thing I wish for aaron to do is be more social to his community like comment here a bit more and reply a bit more who agrees
and then i say a reply to that and since there are so many new comments at once people get VERY VERY exited
And then someone like me complains and the rest think something VERY important was said.
i love it when i do this
people always think this may be somewhat important
I stuck tis on reddit, but it didnt gather much notice. This should be a nice easy way to get this to run on Mac. Just stick the game files where it says and launch. It shouldnt need updating, but i ay eventually just do some minor updates. Its based on CXEx for anyone who cares. :P
