We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on October 5, 2012.

$35,000 Unlocks Dusty Paige as a Babes Choice!

Update #6 · Sep 12, 2012 · 13 comments

We're with you, Backers!

For all our Bombardiers, after reviewing the Bombshell Kickstarter project, we have decided to restructure the Stretch Goals in order to prioritize unlocking single Babe choices. We feel this is in the best interest of all our backers within the active time of the project, so all levels will have an adequate selection to choose from as soon as possible. So as of $35,000, Dusty Paige has been unlocked!


Target Acquired

As a bonus, all Bomb Kits will included Bombshell Relic #1, Terri the Steampunk Cowgirl at this time as well!

Vivian Gale is now our target for $40,000. We will also add a FREE Squidman sidekick to the BOMB KIT at that time. Mat Dixon's 'Bug Spray' will be the $45,000 target. We will be posting more Babe targets soon.

We still plan on adding the Reinforcements after the Babe choices have been provided. We also plan to submit a list of the Reinforcements for you, our backers, to vote upon to determine the order of their release.

We want you to know we appreciate all your support! Hopefully we can do the best we can to get you the Babes that you want.

- Patrick

      Ha-haaaa. Now Kickstarter lets me see what people were saying. Guess I can't have Netflix open at the same time or something. :)

      I had so much fun researching that drawing; the sheer level of "anything goes" engineering from that time period is amazing.

      It's a shame we won't be seeing the Atomic punks for a bit longer yet but it absolutely makes sense to get more of the babe choices out first.

      @talin if you click 'view previous comments', also kickstarter wised up and now allows you to click a profile to see ALL that person's comments.
      I do recall hearing that name carmagnolle, I thought she looked like a water spider with the lenses :D thank you for the history lesson. Indeed back then glass was stronger than alloy, just as people were getting used to drinking water, not 'liquid bread'.
      I really wish I could get a studio job, I'll have to suffice with practicing and hopefully I can attain your level of muted aquamarine/jade for her diving suit.
      @darsc you read my mind
      @bombshell/patrick thanks for changing up the order of goals. :D momentum etc, the last LAST stretch could always be some HUEG number to see how much we want it. Then again we'll all have to wait 22 days for that.

      @Talin. Thanks for the clarification on the helmet. That'll help when it comes to time to actually paint it.
      I also quite like her overall colour scheme in the concept art. I'll be using that for inspiration too.

      @Cerity, Darsc: For some reason, Kickstarter isn't letting me see the first 5 comments here, so I can only guess what Cerity said. (apologies)

      Vivian's helmet - as well as the hard parts of her suit - are inspired by the Carmagnolle Co.'s prototype diving suit from 1882. The array of small portholes across the front of the helmet was, presumably, to strengthen the helmet under pressure. (The suit also inspired the character Big Daddy in the video game "Bioshock.") For as cool as it looked, the suit was so heavy that it never got past the prototype stage; ironically, Vivian's pared-down version is actually more practical. :)

      Vivian is a fantastic model for DeepWars players, too! Or, rather, prospective ones, since it doesn't come out for another month.

      @Cerity. I took those smaller circles on the helmet to be lights.
      It's dark under the sea. ;)

      Great idea. Hopefully this will make some of the fence-sitters jump in full force. I really applaud everything you're doing here.

      @bombshell I have to ask. Does vivian have spider vision? I've looked hither and yon forcomparable steakpunk diving helmets.
      YOU ROCK!

      I like this a lot. Thanks guys! Though I do hope to see the reinforcements. I like the atomic punks!

      Thank you for this restructuring! It is a great idea to get lots of babes choices out sooner.
