8 Hours to Go! $100,000 Here we Come!
As I write this, the reMIND Kickstarter has 7 hours left before it closes. 7 HOURS! Also we are about $1500 away from hitting $100,000 and unlocking the Hardcover “Making Of reMIND” book!
LOOK AT THE CHART NOW! SOOOO CLOSE! (it’s already out of date)
Progressions: The Making of reMIND
We are so close to that 100k goal that I am going to open up the option RIGHT NOW to add $25 to any reward tier (under $75) to have the Making Of book added to your reward. If you have selected a $75 tier or higher then you will automatically be getting a “Making Of” book when we cross 100k. Unfortunately when I came up with this 100k goal idea, I didn’t factor in the extra shipping costs because I realize now that I will be sending the “Making Of” books at a later date. So what I hate asking, but feel I must, is if you are an international backer who will be getting a “Making Of” book, would you be able to add an additional $10 to your shipping? ( I can feel the frustration welling up inside of everyone as I type) If you are in the US, It would be helpful if you could add at least $5 extra for shipping for the Making Of book. If you simply hate the idea of adding money for an extra book then I will not force you though. :)
There is also the option to forfeit the Making Of book if you really don’t want it. This will save me lots of production and shipping costs for your copy if you are not interested. Then I can sell it at a convention or something. So for those of you who simply want what you pledged for and nothing else, then please just tell me in the survey that I send out in a few months.
Just so you can see what I am thinking for this book, here are some spreads I assembled a few years ago when I first started thinking about doing something like this. I’ll add a little more text and show as many stages of the progress from initial ideas to animation to layouts to coloring tutorials (I think). Check it out:
30 more Box Sets Available!
Last night I added 20 more $75 Box Set slots and they were all eaten up in a few hours so this morning I added another 30 slots. It looks like they are going fast again so grab one quick if you want one.
T-Shirt Designs
I have been getting a few questions about the T-shirt designs so I might as well give you more info before this thing closes. I have 2 shirts. The gray one with the cover of Volume 1 on the front was printed about 2 years ago and it is the shirt that I usually take around to conventions to sell. Here is a close up of the front and back.
The new design that I am making for this Kickstarter campaign is this blue shirt below with Victuals in his robot suit. So far this shirt has not been printed because I am just waiting to tally up all the sizes for this campaign and then I’ll place my order.
Once again, if you want to add any of these shirts to your pledge then first refer to the chart on the home page to see if you are eligible. If you are interested in the hoodie then here is a picture of that. There is nothing printed on the back.
The Hoodie is kinda an inside joke for the die hard reMIND fans. There is a scene in the book where a bubble watcher is wearing this hoodie and several of my readers asked if I would make it. Once again, check the chart to see if you can add one of these if you want one.
____________
Well, I hate to say it but this will probably be my last update before this campaign closes. You have all been a wonderful group and the comments section of this campaign is off the charts! I love it! I have a lot of you to thank for your help in keeping the momentum alive for this campaign too. I’ll get to that in my next post after everything is done. :)
Keep in mind that even though this campaign is closing today, I’ll still be giving you updates as I make progress on everything. The updates will probably drop to once a week and then once a month but I’ll try to keep you informed as best I can.
Thanks again for all your support in this crazy dream! Now lets hit that $100,000 ULTIMATE goal and close this thing down in style!
Love you all!
Jason

Creator Home drawn Studios on August 23, 2012
Oh no! This is far too short of a notice to reach everyone 8 hours before it's all over.
It seems a lot of $75 and above qualifying pledges who were away at work or something, like myself, at the time of this announcement are gonna be short changed for the "Making of" hard cover as a result for not adding the extra money for postage in time. I hope I'm wrong.
Creator C.D. on August 22, 2012
I know there are a lot of costs you have to consider, but it is not reasonable to ask for extra shipping money after you already set up the tiers and extra rewards. Especially considering the fact that you more than quadrupled your original goal. But, if you want to wait and ship me all three at the same time, I'm okay with that.
Creator Gregory Kane on August 22, 2012
I only pledged 95$ for the 75$ reward. I'm happy to give a bit more, but I didn't see these messages and just assumed shipping would be included in the total price/bonus.
I'm happy to throw in an extra 5-20$ for the shipping to get the making of book, but was wondering what option I had left to pay you?
Perhaps a paypal payment in the future?
Creator D.J. Cole on August 22, 2012
What about having names printed in the "reMIND" Vol. 2 for those backers that add the extra money for the shipping for the "Making Of..." book. Then you could get more money for the shipping and the backers would get a little something extra for adding money to the project when they thought they were done. Just a thought (from one who would like to get into the credits as a backer for this excellent work and missed out on the earlier options that allowed it).
Creator Matt Fitzwater on August 22, 2012
Boo-yah! $25 tossed on for the Making of!
Creator Eric - Werecat of Original Sin I OoTGC on August 22, 2012
@Albert
Yes, all backers will get the digital making of book!
Creator Janette K. on August 22, 2012
Increased shipping for making of. ^_^
Creator Vlad on August 22, 2012
T-shirts look great! Added another $25 for 1x T-Shirt and extra shipping for Making Of
Can't wait for the books!
Creator Albert Gonzalez on August 22, 2012
Does everyone get the digital making of book?
Creator Phil Titan Napolitano (deleted) on August 22, 2012
Added the extra $10 :)
Creator Ben Thomson on August 22, 2012
I'm one of the backers that left my original international shipping intact at the $10 higher mark. Guess this now covers the extra shipping lol, so I'm kinda rewarded for sticking to it. Would like to still give more but am absolutely tapped out so this was lucky or I would have had to pass.
Creator Randall Knowlery on August 22, 2012
@Billy Wellen
I just did the exact same thing. I have no problem adding in another 10, given the shipping cost and all of the extras that we'll be getting.
Creator Kiah Smith on August 22, 2012
I increased my pledge for the Making Of book. I hope that book includes stuff about self publishing, printing, and everything related to that.
Creator Billy Wellen on August 22, 2012
I'm not international, but adding $10 (instead of $5) to my pledge so that myself and another (someone who can't afford the extra $5, it happens!) are guilt free for the shipping of the "Making of" book.
Creator Jason Brubaker on August 22, 2012
Thank you everyone for dealing with the shipping! That really shot us over the top too. :)
You all rock!
Creator Robert Porter on August 22, 2012
At the given rate, $105-$110 seems probable. Congrats :)
Creator Eric - Werecat of Original Sin I OoTGC on August 22, 2012
I am going to say final tally is $107!
Creator elm on August 22, 2012
Will really look forward to the Making Of when you get there, happy to add the extra shipping. Your artistry is beautiful and intriguing!
Creator Ivan Yagolnikov on August 22, 2012
Even though i'm in the US, I boosted my $140 pledge ($120 level + $20 Phobos pack) by $10! Any bests on final tally? Maybe we can get to $105K.
Creator Eric - Werecat of Original Sin I OoTGC on August 22, 2012
@ScaniX
As long as you don't change the tier you will be fine and only change the amount you are pledging.
Creator Bill Gathen on August 22, 2012
Already over $100K, but boosted my pledge to get the robot suit t-shirt. Congratulations for exceeding all your wildest dreams. \0/
Creator ScaniX - Silent / Friendly / Axe owner on August 22, 2012
I've just read about the shipping thing. Can we still change the pledge when this ended? I don't think we can and thus I think it might be a problem for all those who are sleeping when this thing ends. ;)
You might need to add a shipping-costs-tip-paypal-cup-thingy to let people throw this money at you after the end of this kickstarter project. :)
I am a little afraid myself to lose my limited reward when I try to change the amount. XD
Creator Alex Hazlewood on August 22, 2012
Congratulations! Thanks for the amazing updates, and the even more awesome graphic novel.
Creator Phil Titan Napolitano (deleted) on August 22, 2012
100k well done!
Creator Tom Schmitendorf on August 22, 2012
Cool, I was able to bump up to the box set, plus added $5 for shipping.
Creator ScaniX - Silent / Friendly / Axe owner on August 22, 2012
Craaazeeeee!
That was fast, didn't thought this would happen. :D
This is soo cool!
Creator Jonathan Tan on August 22, 2012
Yes. It's on. Added on the extra $10 for international shipping.
Creator Eric - Werecat of Original Sin I OoTGC on August 22, 2012
Yes, we made it and also added $5 for shipping. reMind is worth it!
Creator Manuel Succo on August 22, 2012
Congratulations! We did it... added shipping as well.
Creator Yin Yin Leong on August 22, 2012
Added more books and shirt and shipping for the making of book, 100k yeah!
Creator Irawan on August 22, 2012
So it becomes as original shipping cost (int. backers), I never decreased the shipping cost so no need to add another 10$ right?
Creator Rudy M. on August 22, 2012
Added more to the pledge going towards the shipping for the "Making of" book! :D
Thank you Jason for this great project!
Creator Fernando Sanzzi on August 22, 2012
Increased pledge, Jason. We ALL want that awesome "Making of"...
Creator Pink-Pummy on August 22, 2012
Upped as well! So close to the 100k :D I'm sure you'll pass it just by people upping their pledges already. Amazing project all over :) really appreciate all the communication! So many other projects are super quiet or have like 3 updates over their lifetime..And you've already hit 21 of those! ;-)
Well done, lots of effort has and continues to go into this, I'm impressed :)
Creator Ganji on August 22, 2012
Increased shipping as well. Can't wait.
Creator Stew Taylor on August 22, 2012
Shipping Increased!!! :)
Creator Dheyrdre Machado on August 22, 2012
