Hey Nicholas,
Thanks for completing the survey. The actual release version of Fargoal 2 will come after our beta testing and further programming. Backers who have supported at the "ROGUE" level and above (including those upgraded) are part of the beta test (currently on PC and soon for Mac).
Thanks for your inquiry. Please feel-free to message us directly on the "Contact me" link to the right if you have any questions specific to your pledge level or upgrading, etc.
Sincerely,
Jeff McCord

how do down load fargoal i have completed the servery but unsure what to do next as there was no email after ?
Creator Geoffrey Sears on April 23
Thank you.
Creator Fargoal, LLC on April 23
iOS Universal works on both devices, but it is not quite double the size because there are lots of shared library elements. Only the graphics tables are different within the Universal builds (which does add to the size but not at a 2/1 ratio).
Oh, and NO, it is not a blown-up iPhone app! Heck no! Each graphic build is an auto-detect and it loads all not iPad graphics when it detects iPad, etc.
Hope this helps!
— Jeff
Creator Geoffrey Sears on April 22
Can you explain the difference between iOS offered with iPhone/universal, and for Mac/iOS? I want it for the ipad as a native app (not iPhone version where you double size.) I wasn't clear on terminology. Thanks.
Creator Fargoal, LLC on March 27
Thanks @Asa, @Jayce, and @sfoderick,
Your comments about the gameplay development and Alpha are paramount. What I've wrestled with recently is that I've wanted to be sure and release the Alpha to as many of our eventual platforms at the same time, so that everyone will get access to it at once, rather than a staggered release of the following platforms. To be specific:
1. It's fairly straightforward to release the Mac Alpha build. We are able to create a straight build with a login access (or other security) and create a download link for backers with Alpha access.
2. PC is next-easiest and released in a similar way.
3. iOS, while straightforward to create the build, is a little more difficult to release to a large group of people. Because of Apple's provisioning profiles there is a limit of 100 people through their system (and we have many more who will want to try the game on iPad and iPhone).
I will reach out to a couple of other developer friends — and specifically Kickstarter campaigns with a similar challenge — and ask how they've worked through similar challenges.
I will endeavor to post a Kickstarter update specific to this much-deserved information and 'plan' by this Sunday. I hope to have a few new interesting screen shots I can also post at that time. Your comments are appreciated, and I too really look forward to exchanging ideas with fans & supporters as soon as possible when the can get their hands on the Alpha!
@Jayce, Yes, you are right. When I add links to purchase additional copies of things, it has always been in direct response to people messaging us asking how they can still get an item when they missed out on the Kickstarter campaign or wished to know how to upgrade.
@sfoderick, we also really believe in the creativity and passion behind certain projects with other independent developers we have met on Kickstarter. You may or may not have seen the "Kick-a-thon" we invented during our own campaign? (Kickathon.net). That's how we met and got to know some of these other folks — through interviewing some of them during our show on the last two days of our campaign.
We understand and respect that fans & supporters mostly want to hear about Fargoal — and we will be sure to continue to try to do that diligently — but I'm sure that occasionally it will be ok to continue to mention other passionate creators' work occasionally.
Thank you all for your comments and continued support!
— Jeff McCord
Creator Asa Swain on March 27
Dear Fargoal LLC,
In your February 12th post below you promised an update which would include:
"1. Ongoing development of the Fargoal art assets.
2. The work we are doing on the wireframes for the interface design.
3. The plan and methodology for the Alpha play test release for those who pledged at that level and above."
I see you've sent out updates about the archival prints and posters, but your recent updates have been sadly missing the the game development info you teased us about in early February. I hope development is going well, and would get love to get a more substantial update on your progress when you get a chance. Thanks!
Creator Jayce Pentad on March 24
Most of those updates were also letting backers at the levels to receive those items that they were at or near completion and show up what they looked like. In fact that's the primary function of those updates. From my pov most bonus items like that are strictly exclusive to the KS so I consider it nice of them to offer belated upgrade options to additional backers who may have wanted to back at a higher level but couldn't at the time of the original KS. Never felt like a money grab to me, and spreading the word about another KS in need is just a professional courtesy I've seen from many gaming KSs.
Don't mean to argue, just a different way of looking at it.
Creator sfoderick on March 3
The game is interesting, but it seems like all of the recent updates are just solicitations for more money?
recently:
today: Like with the "retro-styled" poster that we just announced, you may upgrade your pledge level to the "ADVENTURER" LEVEL ($100 level) by simply clicking the DONATE link from our website and pledge the difference from your original pledge, bringing it up to $100. Please add $15 for International shipping.
today: NOTE: To get the poster, simply click on the DONATE link from our website and pledge the difference from your original pledge to make up the difference to $250. Please add $15 for International shipping.
Feb 24 soliciting for others: to the "Days of Dawn" campaign that ends on Kickstarter within the next few hours. The folks at Bumblebee in Germany are within about $8,500 of reaching their $50,000 goal.
Feb 22: Some backers have been asking how they can get ALPHA and BETA access to the game… If you are interested in doing so, please click on the following link and click the "DONATE" button, and add $35 to your current pledge amount. NOTE: If you are an International supporter please add an additional $15 for international shipping.
I pledged a bit because the rep. gave me a media copy at a trade show and I wanted to be supportive of small developers, but it seems to be moving into a solely "solicit for more money" email exchange at this point?

S.D.: Your comment was one factor that heed them to their success! Thank you for that... I know Tassilo and his team are just floored and humbled by all their support. :^)

Creator S.D. on February 24
Wow, you guys are the best! It's working... :-)
Creator Fargoal, LLC on February 24
Thanks S.D.,
We know the "Days of Dawn" folks from interviewing them from our Kick-a-thon, Cycle 2 interview on December 14, 2012. They are very nice people, and the game looks great!
In the spirit of a "Fargoal miracle" finish to their campaign, I hope some of our fans will consider supporting the "Days of Dawn" project in it's final hours — I JUST DID!!!

Days of Dawn needs a Fargoal miracle in 5 hours...
Creator Fargoal, LLC on February 22
Steven,
I've just sent off the updates; though several days behind — so sorry about that! We were trying to figure out how many people had or had not placed their T-shirt order selections.
Results: Of 178 people we have gotten 116 responses, meaning that 62 people still need to place their T-shirt selection with us right away. We have resubmitted the surveys so that those who had not already responded can respond now.
Thanks for everyone's patience on this update!
— Jeff McCord
PS: I also figured out which comment of yours on the Backer-only Forums had not yet gotten approved. I got it "unstuck" and it is now posted. I believe your next comments will post automatically — we can hope! ;^)
Creator Steven Picard on February 20
Is this update still coming?
Creator Fargoal, LLC on February 12
Hey Stephen,
Thanks for your inquiry. I'll also check into your comment approval on the Backer-Only Forums. I typically am supposed get a notice every time a comment it posted, but I've noticed that there have been a few posts I've not seen the approval email for, and I'm afraid yours must have been one.
Side-Note: I changed it recently so that only one comment-approval is necessary before you are able to PST without approval. It is also possible that one of those settings is not set right, so I can check into that too.
Regarding your larger question, yes, everyone deserves an overall update! I happen to be in New York for Toy Fair since this past weekend, and I'll have some catching up to do once I get bak, but I'll plan on a full, official update to be sent out to all if the Fans & Supporters this coming Saturday or Sunday.
In it I'll report on the following:
1. T-shirt order status.
2. We will soon be able to show both the Archival Art Print and the Retro Poster! and talk about delivery timing to those supporters.
3. We will report to the higher-level backers about the status of their personalized portraits, and the other rewards that we are working on fulfilling for them.
But probably most importantly we can give a status update report on:
1. Ongoing development of the Fargoal art assets.
2. The work we are doing on the wireframes for the interface design.
3. The plan and methodology for the Alpha play test release for those who pledged at that level and above.
Last, but not least: 4. We are still working toward the delivery target date for the actual final game release.
We will plan on sending out the update — answering as many timing questions as we can — by the end of this weekend!
Sincerely,
Jeff McCord
Creator Steven Picard on February 11
How's the development going? Any ETA? It's been very quiet.
I tried posting on the new forum quite awhile ago but my post never got approved. I am a long time member on the old forum so I was a little surprised.
Creator Fargoal, LLC on October 30, 2012
Thanks for the comment! We are actually working on it right now. We discovered that it was not running completely correctly on modern systems, so are going through the update and testing process. I'll post comments here and an official "Update" when it's done and ready to post!
— Jeff
Creator Lino Demasi on October 29, 2012
Just wondering whatever happened to that shareware copy of the 2003 remake that was supposed to go up on the fargoal.com website?
Creator Fargoal, LLC on October 26, 2012
Way cool! That's *very* hard to do, even on Squire mode!! I've only done it once or twice myself!!
— Jeff
Creator Jayce Pentad on October 26, 2012
Wow! Just beat iPhone Sword of Fargoal for the first time! "Only" on Squire but that was exciting, been poking at it since I first heard of the Kickstarter for SoF2! I'll try Hero now that I have the Legends version for my iPad. : )
Creator Gordon Pytlik on October 20, 2012
Cool! I will definitely be on board for a Sword of Fargoal board game. Hopefully the cost of shipping to Canada won't kill it for me. Meanwhile I'll wait patiently while you finish all the other projects!
@Kurtis: Yes, the funding will still be considered successful. Also, Amazon gives you a few days (a week? - I can't remember) to get your credit card back up and working. I learned all about it when I had to cancel my card because it was stolen just before a payment was due. :-s
Creator Fargoal, LLC on October 16, 2012
Hello Jelly Paladin,
I'd mentioned one of your earlier comments from this forum to Erik at Forbes magazine and he mentioned it here!
http://far.gl/Ts2PmV
TO ALL:
…regarding some of your other comments — YES!! — I cannot wait to work on "Sword of Fargoal: The Board Game" as soon as time allows! At first, of course, we will be concentrating on fulfilling KS reward levels and other Sword of Fargoal 2 ramp-up first. But when it is safe and clear that I can continue along on the board game design, I will do so with *GREAT EXCITEMENT*!!!!!
— Jeff
Creator Jayce Pentad on October 16, 2012
I'm excited for the Rogue Touch and Spirit Hunter promotion too, it was very generous for their creator to do a giveaway in support of SoF2! Thanks!
Creator kurtis on October 15, 2012
OOOHHHH I would definitely hit a board game version of this up!!!
I have what seems a simple question in my head however, I'm sure the answer is quite difficult, and only comes up because this project is so close... What happens if a credit card is declined? Does the project still continue, even though on paper you are "successful but cant collect?
Creator Jelly Paladin on October 15, 2012

Creator Fargoal, LLC on October 14, 2012
$10,000 patron, really??!! Amazingly no-one took my favorite pledge, the *actual* "Sword of Fargoal" itself!
it was a really combination of a lot of things, we think:
- Lots of little, medium, and generously-big pledges, many in the last minutes of the campaign.
- Some generous employee donations from Obsidian Entertainment (Project Eternity, please support!).
- A great last-hours article by Erik Kain at Forbes magazine.
- A generous pledge increase and live moral support by Kevin Hill at ChronoSoft (Rogue Touch for iOS).
- Plus all of you, excited to see us succeed and getting the word out to everyone you could.
As far as things to look forward to? With no schedules promised:
- Possible future "Sword of Fargoal: The Board Game" Kickstarter campaign.
- We will figure out a way to bring cool Fargoal Swag to those who may have missed out.
- This is a scoop: Eventually I want to do a sequel that takes place outside the Dungeons of Fargoal about the quest behind the "Great Forrest Lands."
And much more to come!!
We will have an email sign-up for future news on Everything Fargoal as soon as we can…
— Jeff
Creator Crosmando on October 14, 2012
Oh my, I wonder who the last minute 10,000 dollar patron was.
To the Fargoal LLC guys, if this game sells well, do you plan to make more roguelikes/RPGs/dungeon-crawlers in the future? It's a bit of a rare genre these days and the more of these games the better imho.
Creator Fargoal, LLC on October 14, 2012
The flood of support yesterday and "congratulations" today has been humbling and gratifying! I am getting to each and every one's personal notes as quickly as I can, so for the time-being I'd like to issue another blanket "Thank You!!!" from the bottom of our hearts!

I upped my pledge on this about 2-3 hours before the end, not really expecting the last minute rush, but I am very excited to see the KS succeed! Congrats to Jeff/Fargoal!

Just make a game that makes it all worth while EA and there ilk make a ton of money off the foolish mass's. While we all know the small developer is the life blood of the industry. Innovation and recreation of the classics are what keep people coming back.

ChronoSoft (Kevin),
I said I was going to go to sleep already — but I *have* to give you a BIG personal thanks for your help before I do turn in to try and catch up with rest after several days of solid Fargoal and Kick-a-thon work!
THANK YOU! You were amazing to help us out, as a fellow "rogue like" designer of Rogue Touch. Great iOS game, and much more stuff to come!!!
— Jeff
PS: By the way, tune to http://kickathon.net and scroll down to the RAW video links (will be edited down later) — Kevin AND Feargus (Project Eternity) are both on "PART E" of the video if you want to fast-forward to their segments — AND watch that fantastic finish again!!!!!!
