So there's progress indicator for animations as well now? That's incline.
Update #32 - Slacker Backer Totals and Backer Portal Changes
POSTED: 04/29/2017
Hello again, backers and fans! We have a few updates for you today, starting with our Slacker Backer totals.
Slacker Backer Totals
Sadly, today is the day where we stop counting Slacker Backer funding towards our stretch goals. At 5PM PDT our game will officially be 'content locked', meaning that no new content will be put into Pillars II. Here are our totals:
The total amount of money we received from Slacker Backers was $297,926, bringing our grand total to:
- Fig Slacker Backers - $124,940
- Backer Portal - $172,986
$4,705,524
We didn't hit $4.75M, which means we didn't make our Sea Monsters & Fishing stretch goal. However, we'd like to thank you for all of your contributions to this campaign. Because of you, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is possible. We promise to make Pillars II an amazing sequel that will immerse you in breathtaking new environments and present you with brand new adventures as you journey through Eora once again. Thank you, from all of us here at Obsidian!
Backer Portal Changes
Even though our Slacker Backer funding no longer counts towards stretch goals, you can still back through Fig and our Backer Portal if you want to get backer rewards or add-ons! New backers (i.e. anyone who makes a new backer pledge after May 12th) will still be able to contribute to the overall campaign total up until we begin pre-orders for Pillars II, which will happen at the end of this year.
Starting on Friday, May 12th at 5PM PDT, some of our reward tiers will no longer be available. These include:
Additionally, on May 12th, reward prices will increase by about 20% for new backers only. Here is the updated list of prices and tiers available:
- Create A Super-Pet
- Create an Inn
- Own An Island
- Build a Pirate Party
- Top Backer
Most Add-Ons will also increase in price slightly, starting May 12th.
- Digital Download - $35
- Premium Digital - $54
- Physical Box - $70 + S&H
- Ultimate Digital - $79
- Complete Pillars Bundle - $95
- Early Access + Credits - $115
- Early Access + Credits + Box - $125 + S&H
- Collector's Edition - $175 + S&H
- Elite Collector's Edition - $240 + S&H
- Signed Elite Collector's Edition - $299 + S&H
- Name a Pet - $599
- Create an Item - $899
- Portrait IV - $2,250 + S&H
- Create a Spell - $3,500
Those people who have already backed Pillars II and confirmed their pledges on our Backer Portal may modify their pledges at any time, without increased reward prices.
Fig Slacker Backer Ending Date
If you're interested in becoming a new backer and want to contribute through the Fig site, you will be able to do so until Friday, May 12th at 5PM PDT. At that time, Fig Slacker Backer funding will be turned off, and you will need to back through our Backer Portal instead of Fig. However, you can still come to Fig for any updates and news we release!
Backer Surveys
In other news, we are finalizing surveys for our $500+ backers who are creating content for our game, and will be sending out those surveys and emails at the beginning of May. At the same time, additional surveys will be sent out to everyone who will have their name in our credits. Thanks for your patience, and we can't wait to hear all of your awesome content ideas!
Thank you again for all your support. We couldn't do this without you!
Feel free to discuss this update over on our forums.
Better safe than sorry.Could have done sea monsters at least, they got 4/5 of the stretch goal money anyway.
Hi.
wtf right? Like WTF!!
how can there not be sea monsters in a game with a pirate crew? A pirate ship? An archipelago to sail around? Fulvano's Sea-Ship-Sea-Safe Voyage? A Splintered Reef? An idol statue of a sea monster! Maia a naval captain and her sky scout Ishiza? Sea monsters on maps! Pillars books mentioning sea monsters. Advertisement of party on a pirate ship battling a sea monster in the middle of the sea and the crew being dragged into the depths to be fed on by a large snapping beak that can crush a wooden hull in two right?
WTF!
sorry you did not reach that goal but it is okay right just disregard the marketing department and its sea monster art we put everywhere! Gosh at least use what money you got to put in dolphins jumping ahead of your ship when sailing or the random whale plume in the distance since we also won't get a harpoon to shoot sea monsters or whales now that fishing is out too but fishing is boring in rl so glad it never made it who wants to sit around waiting for three hours for a fish to bite but maybe at least it could have been tied into getting attacked by a sea monster right?
all that artwork everywhere and how you can go sailing the high seas and visit islands and have pirate ship battles but no sea monsters??? they have to do sea monsters. they have to.
very disappointed.
Thanks,
Sherry
I pretty much think the same but they look way more planned than the first campaign so maybe for DLC.I think they will add sea monsters eventually.
I think Justin Bell did a fantastic job on soundtrack department. Giving the limitations he had, he could even produce much stronger pieces this time.they should invest the money on a good writer and composer instead.
combat music always sucks lol
The point is that you'd expect sea monsters in this Age of Discovery esque fantasy adventure about the sea, sailing, seafaring and meeting sea things and sea creatures as well as sea cultures.I may be in the minority here, but I'm glad they're not allocating dev resources tro stretch goals they didn't hit.
