UNLOCK THE AUDIOBOOK!

Update #2 · May 7, 2012 · 8 comments

Hello Backers and Future Potential Backers--

After passing our initial funding goal on our first day, we spent the weekend looking into how much equipment, personnel, and time it would take to record an MP3 audiobook version of Comedy of Doom.

Here's what we've discovered:

If we reach $4,000 we can afford to make the audiobook version available! The audiobook will be performed by me with some potential special guests here and there.

When (if) we reach $4,000, we'll add a new reward level at $18. Anyone who backs the project at $18 or more will get an MP3 audiobook version of Comedy of Doom!

Because the recording will take some time, the audiobook won't be available until October of 2012. All other backing rewards will still be delivered in July of 2012.

Thanks again for supporting this project. Inspired by the Avengers, I'm going to do everything I can to smash this stretch goal!

ROAR! SMASH! THANK YOU!!!

-Joseph

      Sam--thanks for the question. Yes, if you upgrade to the new $18 audiobook reward, you will still get the $5 and $10 rewards. Thanks!

      Similar question, if I upgrade my pledge to the audiobook would I still get the PDF?

      Thanks for the question! There will be a new reward at $18 for the audiobook. The existing rewards above $18 will be modified to include the audiobook.

      Will the audiobook be added to existing levels over $18, or will you be creating new levels to allow for ordering the audiobook with the existing rewards?
