Just a thought about buying FGC Ultimate is that FG-Con is next weekend and if I recall correctly Ultimate goes on sale during that event. If that is the case, and you are thinking about getting it, that might be the time to do it.

There isnt usually a sale event to co-incide with FG Con - sorry!Quote:

I think the licenses were on sale during one of the last FG Cons. That wasn’t anything specifically coordinated between us and SmiteWorks, but it might have been they decided to do the sale because of FG Con, or it may have just been coincidence.
Will we be able to upgrade multiple licenses as part of the kickstarter? I've got an ultimate and at least one standard to upgrade.
You can choose to give more at any of the levels in KS normally.
That doesn't seem to be directed at anyone in particular. Were you replying to a message?Quote:

For some members of my group this upgrade price is still quite a bit of money while I'm in a better financial position. I just want to gift my players a better RP experience for free and lower the barrier to join a game I run.
I just thought the difference in amounts between upgrade and newcomer prices was a small oversight. I was hoping for a minor discount to upgrade to FGU and pick up an Ultimate license at the same time. I'm dutch, we just can't help it to save some cents. No hard feelings though, I still love FG.
And most likely I will pay the extra $5 anyway now I think about it more and more. Because one, I want to support the KS and Smiteworks. Two, there is really nothing to complain about FGU's backwards compatibility and the awesome new map features. And three, the thought and care the community receives from Smiteworks is just plain awesome.
I'm really looking forward to FGU and all the new features that it will bring to us eventually (built-in music support please!). ;-)
Wow my little thread really took off. I cant help but feel a little like a proud papa. I just wanted to exclaim my excitement and vent that hype I felt during a stream. I am absolutely day 1 going to go whole hog on this kickstarter and I am salivating at what the stretch goals might be
I know it's probably a given, but just to make sure - Ultimate upgrades already purchased through Steam are eligible for the Kickstarter pricing, right?
Thanks for the info, Doug! I look forward to reading the full transcript.Quote:

Sales are always mirrored on Steam, so add the items you want to your Wishlist there, then buy here when you get an email about a sale. :)
I can't imagine its going to be a "cheap" backer level, I'd be shocked if its under $500 level if not a grand....but hey more power to anyone that even dropping a four figure amount is "pocket change" -- I envy your situation if that's the case as that is certainly not mine! LOL.Quote:

The data folders are stored separately (and we recommend keeping them that way.) To move a campaign over, you should be able to simply copy the campaign folder over from FG Classic.Quote:

Doug, thanks for clarifying that, as I have a similar question; I currently have a a Standard License since roughly 2015, so I'm a Veteran there. During the Kickstarter, if I wanted to 'upgrade' to an Ultimate License, would I be doing that as a Veteran or a new user?Quote:

Ok thanks Doug. Can you elaborate now, on the process you and Smiteworks will be using the very the amounts pledged in relation to our current license types?Quote:

Thanks Doug! Keep up the great work.Quote:

Current Upgrade from FGC Standard to FGC Ultimate is $110.00, per my Upgrade to Ultimate Button on the FGC launcher, PLUS Rookie: Bought it in 2018-2019, FGC Ultimate to FGU Ultimate for $30 = $140
So if you want FGU Ultimate, and do not really care about having FGC Ultimate between now and the end of the year, then it is cheaper to just wait until the Kickstarter and until FGU is released.
Otherwise it just costs you an extra $5.00 more now, which is not terrible. And if you are like me, probably don't mind kicking Doug and the team an extra $5 to say thanks.

December 2019 is what they're aiming for - depending how the beta testing as part of the Kickstarter goes, that could move forwards or (hopefully not) backwards.
