More Unlocked and Some German News!!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Nov 17, 2021 at 08:12:28 PM

Hey Wizards!

It has been quite a 24 hours! We have unlocked so much in so little time. And the next 50ish hours are going to be no different. We are always excited for our last 48 hours. This is the time that all of the people who asked to be reminded of the campaign, get a notification that it is about to end in 48 hours. They come back to see all that we have accomplished. And have we ever accomplished a lot over the last three weeks. Before I go any further, I'd like to welcome all of the new Wizards that have joined in the Power Plants fun over the last couple of days since my last update. This has been an incredibly fun campaign for us here at headquarters. We can just imagine how much fun it has been for all of you. And for those of you who have been here for a while, you've been doing such a great job getting the word out there about this fantastic campaign. We can't thank you enough for all of your hard work!

What We've Unlocked

This time we've unlocked two amazing Stretch Goals and we are thrilled about them!

What We're Working On

It might seem like a long way away, but I assure you, once that 48 hour notification goes out this evening, we'll see a major uptick in backers. You know what you need to do! 

What's Next

Believe it or not, we've still got so much up our sleeves. Check the page soon to learn about what else we've got in store for you.

German Partnership

Good news for our German-speaking friends! We have Skellig Games joining our list of localization partners! Yay German!

Help Us, Help You

We want the most we can possibly squeeze out of this campaign. Let's get EVERY Stretch Goal!! In order to do that we need you to help us spread the word. Here's how:

--> For maximum visibility, let's keep the Power Plants campaign listed on the Kicktraq Hotlist (currently at #9). The only way to make this happen is to first visit the Power Plants Kicktraq page here, and then hit the green Visit Project button. Once you do, go to the comments section to comment on the campaign. The more comments we get that directly come from Kicktraq, the better our chances of moving up on the list.

That's all for this update, Wizards!

Hey Wizards!!

We did it! Another Stretch Goal down and and yet another revealed. This is an AMAZING one. So, brace yourselves! Welcome to all of our new backers since our last update! You're in for a real treat. While this campaign ramps up in its last week, so too will engagement. You are going to love this fantastic community that has been cultivated here on the Power Plants campaign. And to those of you who have been part of making this incredible campaign grow and thrive, thank you so much! Here we go ...

What We've Unlocked

Woohoo! Another Alternate Plant down. Only 3 more to go! 

What We're Working On

It's up next, and it will come faster than you think! We're excited for the bling!!

What's Next

Yup, another Alternate Plant. Let's do it!

It's the Moment You've Been Waiting For

Wizards, this is a long one, but a REALLY good one! We will get to it. It seems so far away. But if you know anything about KTBG Kickstarter campaigns, you'll know that we get many, many backers at the end. And we know this Tenth Plant Type (eight wooden tiles and two large Plant cards) is totally attainable. Let's make it happen! 

To make it an adventure, we are running the Tenth Tile Event as we go! Don't forget that the best way to comment on the campaign is on the main page. But even better is to get there through the Kicktraq portal. Visit the Power Plants Kicktraq page here, and then hit the green Visit Project button. Once you do, go to the comments section to vote for your favourite 3 Sprites. The more comments we get that directly come from Kicktraq, the better our chances of moving up to the top 10 on the Kicktraq Hotlist.

Sprite Winners

We are so blown away with your fierce voting, Wizards! You really picked some good Sprites to win. And you had us enjoying watching you vote! So many cool and creative comments, poems, and ideas. That was a fun event; we're ready for more!!

That's all for this update, Wizards!

Let's Add a Little Sparkle and Another Stretch Goal Down
over 2 years ago – Sat, Nov 13, 2021 at 01:35:07 AM

Hello Wizards!

We hit another Stretch Goal. My favourite Stretch Goal [so far]. I'm so incredibly thrilled with the excitement that was generated over the shaped Sprites. We have a lot of data to collect (you were all relentless, and it was AMAZING to watch). Before we get any deeper into this update, I wanted to welcome all of our backers who have joined us since our last update. We've been having the best time here on the Power Plants campaign. So happy you could join us. To all of you who worked so hard to write a total of 1016 comments in the last six days... you are incredible. We fought a hard fight to keep ourselves on the Kicktraq Hotlist! And to those of you who have been with us since early on, thank you so much for being here with us.

What We've Unlocked

I am absolutely thrilled about the shaped Sprites. It remains to be seen what the winners are. Please be patient with us while we tally this data. Congratulations to everyone for an amazing event!

What We're Working On

Another alternative Plant!! More variability!!!!

What's Next

Oooohhh sparkly! These shiny metallic-printed Gems are going to be so beautiful!

Another alternative Plant!! EVEN more variability!!!!

I have no words ... really, I can't tell you anything about this one. YET! It's coming soon. And it's so good!

That's all for this update, Wizards!
