Looks great! Can't wait to throw some money at you
Oops, I might want to change that then prior to launch. We had some internal discussion around that and we were leaning towards maybe releasing just to backers at first to play around with before they start adding players. Doing that might allow us to get it into hands of some backers sooner than if we have to wait until we also feel confident about all the networking stuff working the way we want.Quote:

I really hope you don't reconsider that. Knowing my players, they are not the kind that kickstart and if I can't test it with them, then there's little point in it really.
Edit: Beyond supporting Smiteworks. Which I will. Just hope to get to tinker with it, before full release.
The big thing is that we need to ramp it up steadily to ensure that our facilitator server scales appropriately. That means we need to bring up the numbers of users steadily. There is also a lot to test with the new functionality before you are going to want people to hop into the game as well.
The primary reason for you to back the KS is you get a substantial discount on your license during the KS - one that you are not likely to get after the KS...Quote:

There is no dates for beta release.
Are we going to have FGU test games set up somewhere? Like in it's own forum?
I was reading over the KS promo page and it still doesn't make clear how exactly we upgrade multiple licenses. I have 1 veteran and 2 rookie standard licenses which makes it even more complicated. It doesn't really show a clear path for upgrading more than one of them. You might want to add that into the page or add it to the FAQ because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person with more than 1 license.
Hmmm, shame to see that alpha is only at $1000 and higher pledges.
Oh well, will swing for the CoC addon regardless.
Well, for some people the beta access will be a driving reason and for others it will be the discount. We will try to accommodate people as early as we possibly can. I decided to make a quick change to the description that was there, however, because we haven't 100% locked in what we are going to do there and when. We want everyone's first experience with the new version to be as positive as possible.Quote:

Good point. I will add some info for that. In short, you would back at the appropriate level for your main license and then just increase your pledge amount for each additional license according to what it's upgrade costs would be. During the survey stage, you would send us all the keys.Quote:

By the way, will FGU support 4k resolution and proper scaling?
Doug, is there any plan for an addon for early backers to include a new F5 key to replace the ones they wore out following the topic and waiting for the kickstarter to open?
I hope you don't have anything bad in your F5 hotkey in Fantasy Grounds. Otherwise, you might end up launching it a few times by accident.Quote:

So basically, I pledge veteran standard, and then add 30 extra for the 2 rookies? The survey will be after the KS has completed?Quote:

Yep and YepQuote:
