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 August 31, 2012.

Looking to the Future!

Update #19 · Aug 30, 2012 · 38 comments

Well, as Adrian already pointed out in the comments (Spotlight stealer! ;) ), we are happy to announce the following:

Of course there will be future content for Giana once it is released. We want to bring you all the things we have planned and more! And as an exclusive thank-you to the backers who supported us with so much enthusiasm, we are promising all backers who have pledged at 25$ and above ALL future PC content for Giana at NO additional cost!

This is not an additional Tier, or an additional pledge or anything of the likes. Anyone who pledges at 25$ and above by the end of the campaign (or has already pledged at 25$ or higher) will receive this special gift. 

In addition, the first PC content pack for Giana will be free of charge for everyone!

And we have more news incoming! So stay tuned and thank you again for all the love and support!

Edit: To clarify again. Even if your reward tier says it is exclusive (90$, 40$ etc), this still applies. Anyone who has pledged more than 25$ is getting this perk. Just so there is no confusion with the exclusive tiers. :)

      :O I missed it! I would have raised to $25, but I missed the update!! Does anyone know if they'll offer anything similar like this in the future, or is it closed now for good.. Sigh..

      This is the proper way to do things. Making games so great, we pay to see them finished! And then pay more to ensure we get the full experience! :D

      Superb! A big thank you from me :)

    20. Missing_small

      Creator Mirko Schenk on August 30, 2012

      Does this offer apply to all copies of the game or just one installation of the backer? E.g., if one pledged $160, there'd be the download, the simpe cover DVD, the digipack DVD, the USB stick, and an additional download copy for a friend, so there could be 5 legal installations...
      I suppose it's only for the backer, since it'd almost be a bit much otherwise, but just to make it clear...

      Creator barbarian_bros on August 30, 2012

      @Hannes Di : It only means that the OUYA version is not financed yet... but I guess if the game has high sales, they will develop the OUYA version later... Same thing for the 'full version' content : if stretch goals are not reached, they would add these contents in the future additional packages (I even bet : in the first free additionnal content package)

      @Andy: Reasonably for both copies, but I would send a ping to BFG about it, they could add it to the FAQ sections, since I am sure this question will be asked more.

      Creator Andy Poelvoorde on August 30, 2012

      will this free dlc also count for the extra copy we ordered? or only the first one?

      I'm really hoping for some kind of OSX support at some point, I haven't followed all updates though so I might have missed out on previous announcements regarding platform support?
