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 May 6, 2012.

New Reward Tier $30! 2 copies of the beta One for you and One for a friend!

Update #4 · Apr 25, 2012 · 137 comments

Thank you to everyone that has pledged so far! Your support has been nothing short of amazing and you all should be congratulated it's you that deserve all the credit not us!

We have been asked a lot if there were anyway to purchase 2 copies of the beta so one can be shared with a friend. We are happy to be able to do so now! If you pledge your support at the $30 mark you may now select as your reward 2 copies of the game when the closed beta begins on 12/12/2012. At that time we'll email your primary email address and ask you for the email of the friend you wish to have the second copy.

Thanks everyone for all of your support we can't tell you how much this means to all of us! Your continued support and pledges will mean the game can be that much more Yogstastic! Please keep spreading the word to you friends , Hit the tweet and facebook buttons on the main page! Every dollar over the original goal helps us bring in more talented help to make this game the best it can be!

To clear up the question of what if you pledged more than $30 already, here's what we think is fair.

$15 = 1 beta copy.
$25 = 1 alpha copy.
$30 = 2 beta copies.
$60+ = 1 pre-alpha AND 1 beta.

Hope that clears it up.

      @Nick Martin I asked about this directly to Winterkewl and was told that the accounts will update from Pre-alpha to Alpha to Beta, and then to the full game. Same thing as if you had bought minecraft during alpha or beta. I recommend that you ask them directly just in case I'm stupid.

      OK, I have a question about this. I bought it for $60 dollars and it says that I get 2 copies. So will the pre-alpha eventually update to the beta? My friend has been saying that you wont be able to get the beta if you give it away but I say that the pre-alpha updates in December when the beta comes out. I'm just wondering if I should keep both copies until I'm positive.

      @Dom, it was a reference to a yt video where Simon pushed Lewis into lava in a Minecraft game. After he did it, he said "It wasn't me what done it"...now my kids say it all the time. As for the pledge, I did the $60 pledge, and I wanted to add $45 to it (3x$15) so each kid had a license and beta access. So I was just verifying whether or not they'd be cool with that. I think they said yes, but I want to be 100% or it's going to end up being an extra $45 out of my pocket and my kids won't get the licenses. Just trying to make sure...

      @Nick Corso It is exactly the same as $15 but you get two copies. The $25 is different as it is a single copy but has the Alpha access etc which the $15 and $30 do not have.

      Creator Nick Corso on May 2, 2012

      Is there supposed to be a "All previous +" in the $30 pledge?

      Creator Dom on May 2, 2012

      ^ Using guilt trick...

      Thats low... I can understand all of that but the "my pledge back to the original $60 and tell them "It wasn't me what done it", it was you! They will cry much. Simon and Lewis, don't let them down"

    9. Anthony_v1.small

      Creator Anthony V on April 30, 2012

      I pledged $60 and I am not proposing i get anything other than what i orginally pledged for. However, I have three children and I would like to get a copy of the game for each of them so we all have fully licensed copies when the game is out. Since they are young kids, they do not and will not be able to have their own kickstarter accounts, so I'm going to add $15.00 per additional copy to my pledge. If that's not going to work, please let me know and I'll readjust my pledge back to the original $60 and tell them "It wasn't me what done it", it was you! They will cry much. Simon and Lewis, don't let them down, for they are all Dave! Yognau(gh)ts and they have the you know whats. Besides, $40 more buys a lot of extra Jaffa Cakes. Please let me know.

      "Hi David there will be different access to the forums. There will be basic access which will be everyone. "Developer" which is the $25 and above backers and "Founders" which is the $60 and above backers. Each will have a slightly different way of influencing our decision making throughout the game development. Thanks."

      Wait but you told me before that if you pledge $30 that you don't get the dev forum reward, but now you say that anyone over $25. Confusion.

      I agree we need some more gameplay videos so we can see a little more of what we're backing. But I have to say what I've seen so far has been good from a game so early in development!

      lol i think there should be a troll called the "internet troll" as long as it doesnt break TM it should have a trollface! I also think there should be a Katana that swings and leaves shadows and shoots shadow sword beams! that would be epic.

      So, I pledged $25, in the reward section it says All previous + You will receive ALPHA access, a full month before the closed beta! You'll also receive exclusive registration to the development forum. Does this mean I can play alpha and Beta? Thanks if you read this!

      If I pledged $60 does that mean I still get alpha on top of pre-alpha because nobody seams to care about alpha anymore and I need to know

      @Alec Dodge Everyone would love to put the game out earlier but it's just not possible. This is a labor of love not profit and we'll have to take the time necessary to make it great. Your support is greatly appreciated, the more money we can raise the more help we can hire and the better the game will be. Thanks.

On the other hand thank you for making a game i have been watching since "how to survive the first night" and am still watching till now, and i know this games going to be worth every penny

      I purchased yogventures with a visa gift card (which normally works with everything else) however, amazon said that my order has been cancelled because they could not charge my card. Kick starter still says Ive pledged. Should I cancel my order? I also cant tell if amazon actually charged me because vanillavisa.com is being an idiot :P.
