A good day to be a Super Chibi Knight...

Posted by BoMToons - March 5th, 2014


Yesterday was a fantastic day! First off, Steam finally Greenlit Super Chibi Knight!

This was after a 9-month-long campaign on Greenlight! Some games go much faster and some not at all. I'm just happy that it finally worked and ready to crunch down and get to work finishing the game. Hopefully this will be enough motivation to push me through to the end after a few more months of work.

Shortly after getting the news about the Greenlight, the Super Chibi Knight Kickstarter hit its goal! After 2 weeks on Kickstarter, we did it! Once again, THANKS to everyone who has helped out. The double-good news was such a good jolt of energy, my daughter and I were on a high all day long and we actually danced an Irish jig together when we heard it :-D

Now we're targeting some stretch goals with the Kickstarter campaign. I just posted an update with a new Reward Tier called "True Kickstarter" where, for a $17 pledge you get a CUSTOM version of the game exclusive to Kickstarter backers. It comes with:

  • The DRM-Free digital game download (or Steam key, your choice)
  • The AWESOME soundtrack by Brian Holmes with over 30 minutes of content [click here for a sample]
  • The Kickstarter-exclusive "Kick-Saber" sword
  • A Kickstarter-exclusive Splash Screen
  • Your name in the credits for ALL versions of the game

Here's the 1st stretch goal we're aiming for:

High-fives to everyone for helping us out along the way!

Yeeeeeeeehey!!!!!! :)

*happy cabbage patch dance*

Congratz! How many Greenlight votes did you end up with?

It looks like crossing 10k was the turning point. 10k "YES" votes that is.

Yeah! Congrats! I look forward to playing it!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it too!

Congrats!!! Awesome to see everything working out all at once like that. I hope you go way over your goal now! Your epic quest is nearly complete.

Ha ha, thanks! "The feel-good story of the year" ;-)

Your hard work is paying off. Well done! :D

Our master plan is coalescing!

Nice! Man, I'm gonna wait for this game independent of the time!
I really liked the first game, and now there is another! Really looking forward to it!

Nice! Glad to hear you're excited about it!

If you didn't record you guys dancing, I'm taking my pledge back.

Sorry, it was kinda spur of the moment. Your imagination will do it more justice than the reality anyway :-D

Really great news! I definitely think it's well deserved that you not only got funded, but it's now going to be on Steam. Can't wait to see it when it's finished.

Woooo! I can't wait til it's done either!

congrats man! glad to see it got funded, yo.

Yo to the YO power!

Congratulations!
It's really inspirational seeing you succeed. :)

Thanks homie, it's not 100% a success yet, but these are really important steps along the way.

Yay! Congratulations :)

*fist bump*

Congratz!
Awesome to see the game achieving it's goals :D

Yay!

Congratulations. Now you are a game developer. Yay I guess.

I know, NOW I'm a game developer... not after the 40 other games I've made...

Has the alpha version been updated at all or is it the same file from before?

Depends when you last played. I adjusted it a whole bunch after the 1st few weeks of testing (added the quests tracking etc.) mostly. But haven't updated it recently. The reason I re-sent it, is cuz lots of new people have signed up in the last few months and were wondering how to test.

Congrats!!

Thanks!
