I am so happy with the Kickstarter pricing. $60 for a pre2018 purchase to get ultimate or $29.95 for my players to get standard FGU licenses from the kickstarter. Thank you so much for the very informative stream!

Yeah, the pricing levels Doug mentioned seem very reasonable.
the rookie, newcomers, and veteran pricing was way more generous than I thought. The feature set, the preview tease with testbear. It was a great stream and they had up to 324 people at one point. Instant first day kickstart for me. Not to mention a release date for december....OF THIS FREAKING YEAR 2019
So is someone able to summaries the facts that Doug gave?
Yes, I can summarise. Fantasy Grounds Unity will be awesome :D
We’ll be posting a new thread with the Q&A next week.

As usual, after watching the stream I feel that SmiteWorks is treatin' me right. Great company with great direction.
Thank you :)Quote:

There will still be Standard, Ultimate and Demo
Post-Kickstarter Pricing
Standard $39
Ultimate $149
Kickstarter Pricing
All Kickstarter backers gain access to Beta
Newcomer Standard: $35
Newcomer to Ultimate: $135
Rookie: Bought it in 2018-2019
FGC Ultimate to FGU Ultimate for $30
FGC Standard to FGU Standard for $15
Veteran: Bought it 2017 or prior
FGC Ultimate to FGU Ultimate for $60
FGC Standard to FGU Standard for $29
Monthly subscriptions:
There will be a separate monthly subscriptions. Same as today but FGU subscription or FGC subscription.
The other part that I missed, and hope someone would clarify, is their was mention of an alpha and beta build. Was a timeline given for them? Or even a how long the KS would be open/running?
All of the timelines are still being worked out, and we tend to keep things internal until we're close anyways. When we do announce rough timelines, we'll add to the FAQ and let people know.

If I have a standard license now - and have had it for some time... Can I upgrade to ultimate with the kickstarter and enjoy a savings? Not a big deal if not, just checking.
Yeah, I was wondering this myself!Quote:

1. Will demo players be able to utilize beta with an Unity Ultimate license GM?
2. What are the dates for Alpha and Beta releases?
Are those "upgrades" Kickstarter pricing only?
I mean, will there be a possibility to upgrade from FGC to FGU at a later time?
See Moon's response when I asked :)Quote:

So you dont get a saving on the Standard -> Ultimate but you get the FGC to FGU upgrade for $30.
Im sure there will be something - but it wont be at these discounts.Quote:

I get it... But it's just a bit of a bummer. To have held a standard license since before Steam (I believe we called it full back then)... And your best option is to go for the 135 newcomer like a first time buyer... Since you'd be at 109 to upgrade and then 30 to get unlimited if you bought the upgrade now, in advance of the KS.
Not that I mind paying the 135 - I will... I've been using the product since it was released and don't mind supporting SmiteWorks... Just seems like something could be considered for long time standard holders that want to upgrade in support of the Unity release.
If anyone knows this (I didn't hear it asked in the stream) - if I upgrade my license and get beta access - will my players be able to get the 'demo' and join my game or will that wait until the full release?
It wasn't mentioned specifically, but it would be fairly useless to have Beta access and no-one to play with.Quote:

I'll back it at whatever level it takes. I love what smiteworks has done with FG to date and will support it any way I can. :-DQuote:

Edit -- Lol, as I finished typing there was a question on distances so I guess that will be covered... too eager am I ;)
Well this will be the second kickstarter I back in my slightly over 5 years of gaming. But since FG is the only way I game, it seems like a fantastic deal.
The question I have, is I still have players with the player's version of FG. For the Kickstarter how will that work? Is there a path to update from player to standard?
If you are are using and Ultimate license, players will not need a license, they will just need the demo. That doesn't change with FGU, when you start using FGU, your players will need to use FGU. There will not be client support across versions (i.e. FGC vs FGU).Quote:
