Special Announcement - Kickstarter

[Zacchaeus]

Any thoughts on how current (FG Classic) libraries will work during (and post) beta? If i have items bought via both steam and the website, will I have access to them via beta, or do i have to export relevant material and "start fresh"?

Any help/clarification would be appreciated!

PS:
I'm also going to add my name to the growing list of people requesting the ability to upgrade from standard to ultimate via kickstarter1

All current DLC will work with FGU.

Is there an upgrade from our current FG ultimate license to a unity license?

Or do we have to purchase a new license?

During the Kickstarter you will have a chance to buy an upgrade from FGC to FGU. Price depend upon how long you have had your FGC Ultimate license. See first post.

Thanks. Will Kickstarter be available through Steam?

What programming language will be used to write new Rulesets in FGU?

How will be the localization of FGU? Can we expect some non english translations by the launch time?

So I have to make Kickstarter account now? :O

Not much reason not to... Kickstarter isn't like Twitter or Facebook. I resist most social platforms, but have had a kickstarter account since Wasteland 2 kickstarted.

Has there been mention of a release date for this? I haven't seen one, but haven't read through the 25 pages of comments either (I did make it about half way through).

The same as FGC (LUA for code, XML for layout and control definition) to maintain backwards compatibility with existing rulesets and extensions.

If I understand correctly buying a FGU licence (either during the kickstarter or later) will
a) not upgrade your existing FGC licence in any way. you will get a new licence for FGU that only works with FGU. So if you own a FGC Standard licence and buy a FGU Ultimate licence your FGC licence will stay Standard
b) not get you a FGC licence. So if you do not own a FGC licence and buy a FGU licence you will only have a FGU licence

I created this matrix.
The left column shows which FGC licence you own when plegding the kickstarter.
The top row shows the FGU licence you pledge for.
The intersections show which licences you will own afterwards.

	FGU Standard pledged	FGU Ultimate pledged	no FGU licence pledged
FGC Standard owned	FGC Standard and FGU Standard	FGC Standard and FGU Ultimate	FGC Standard
FGC Ultimate owned	FGC Ultimate and FGU Standard	FGC Ultimate and FGU Ultimate	FGC Ultimate
no FGC licence owned	FGU Standard	FGU Ultimate	no licence for both

afaik:
The kickstarter offers discounts for FGU licences.
The kickstarter does not offer FGC upgrades (FGC and FGU licences are seperate ones).
The kickstarter does not give people without a FGC licence a FGC licence.
