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

DIGISTORE - STOCKTACKING

Update #22 · Sep 3, 2012 · 6 comments

Hello everybody.

We got dozens of messages during last 48 hours. People found changes there in DigiStore (we closed most of tiers, remaining only bolt-ons and t-shirts), and sent us tons of messages. The most of messages have two questions:

1) "Did you guys close the project?"

2) "I passed a deadline and didn't pledged. How can I do this now?"

 In result we must response:

1) We didn't stop the project, absolutely not! The reason of tiers disappearing there in DigiStore (http://store.digitilus.com/ ) is that we promised to close current set of tiers in the end August. As was announced in the end of our Kickstarter, we reopened possibility to pledge exactly the same amount, as was in kickstarter, and to get exactly the same set of rewards, as was there in Kickstarter. This was done for those, who would like to support us after Kickstarter. We planned to close this promotion in the middle of August, but we delayed with Amazon payment gateway, so we prolonged proposal till the end of August. But as well as we have a second bunch of messages, we ...

2) ... renew those tiers for a while. Seems like many people were in vacations or really passed dead line. So we prolong them for 2 weeks (we can prolong for a longer period of time, but not longer than next Kickstarter launch date). Please, everybody who really passed deadline - we appreciate your desire to pledge, so do your choice and let us fix this stage, moving to the next one. Thank you!

PLEDGE STATS

PayPal balance $23 394.77 - 328 backers

Amazon balance $3 214 - 65 backers

Pay attention - we added DWOLLA payment system (which is available in AMAZON STORE  checkout). It is very useful way to pay for US located backers with Credit Card. First of all, this payment gateway has an incredible fee - only $0.25 per transaction (for any amount more than $10), sending payment directly to our bank account. Second, you can hide your personal data from us completely. Means, we will see only information, which you typed in our checkout form fields. If you really wanna hide your personal info, just type anything you like there. But remember - we will use that info for shipment. So I'd suggest to use at least your real e-mail and shipment address there to get your rewards into the right address.

OTHER NEWS

Unity 4 pre-order is opened now, so we are planning to buy new version of Unity in the nearest time and to test it. Furthermore, works are going on in full speed - in program part for a while. We work on porting of our physics to Unity, experimenting with detailed demolition and shooting simultaneously. I'm not posting any screens or video, cause it's all in stage of program code and some test builds. But I will post materials (and new online test demo) as soon as we will get something showable.

As for Linux - no doubts we remember about your request and will inform you as soon as we'll get test results!

Don't worry about the cost of shipping; even if you're outside the US, we'll take care of it. Nothing but the best for the Boss.

Only you can play as this character (we'll give you a secret code to activate it) but other players can hire you as an NPC, so they'll get to enjoy it too! You will be known across the skies as a true Hero... or a Villain, your choice.
