Update on the fundraiser we had in 2013

Thank you for your patience, this has taken a lot longer than we hoped for, and we are sorry for this. We are also sorry for the lack of updates, but wanted to wait until we were absolutely sure the perks were going out soon before we contacted you again so we wouldn’t make any false promises. Now we have ordered things and they will soon be sent to the shipping agency (the first have already arrived) which will package things and send them out to you.

If you have moved since the survey we sent last year, please send an email to fundraiser@wildfiregames.com as soon as possible so we can make sure the perks reach you.

Please reply as soon as possible, after everything has reached the shipping agency we want to have it sent out as soon as possible. After the first of November we will send things out, if you for some reason don’t see this until after that date and have moved the package might have trouble reaching you. Unfortunately there isn’t much we can do about it, apart from trying to make sure everyone notices this. If you know someone who has contributed, but who might have missed this, please let them know.

If your perk level includes Ancient Warfare Magazine subscriptions you should have gotten an email from feneur@gmail.com. If you never got it, please contact us as soon as possible so we can get those taken care of as well.

Some quick questions and answers:
If I haven’t moved, will I have to do anything? No, but you might get your perks sooner if you do: things are sent out either when we get an email or when the time limit has been met.

What has happened with the money donated? Some of it went to covering the fees from Indiegogo and SPI (SPI manages our money). Some of it covers the perks, and some of it will be spent directly on the development on the game.

What happened to Michael and Jorma? Michael sadly left the team last summer since the fundraiser did not raise enough money to employ him full-time and since he no longer had time to work on the game in his free time. Jorma was unable to work for us when we did not raise enough money to employ him full-time.

So, how will you use the money now? As it is not as much money as we hoped it will be harder to find someone who is able to set aside time to work on the game, especially since the person should already be familiar with the game code to make the most of the time. We will definitely not spend the money on something else though, and will keep you posted as soon as something has been decided.
