Hey everyone, just a quick heads up that the new stretch goals have been revealed.
We now have them decided up to 45k. Tomorrow we will evaluate the form and prepare the polls for the Premium and Stretchgoal Sets so we can get some concept art going!
See you, tomorrow guys!
Cheers, Christopher

Thank you all so much.
The first 24 hours just ended and just a day ago we hoped to get that 1000€ in 45 days so the servers could keep running.
Now we are scheduling the coming months of modeling and programming work.
Thank you, that is all.
With the end of the first day our SUPER EARLY BIRD tiers close. But fret not brave wanderer for the EARLY BIRD tiers have arrived.
20% off the Townbuilder is still a great deal and with it come some new spaces in the Guild Head and Syndicate Leader tiers open. Get them while you can!
More Stretchgoals will be reveiled soon!
Cheers, Christopher and the Townsmith Team.

Hey everybody. We still can't really keep up with how well this is going.
Even though I am the last one to not be hyped about it, here comes a bit of real talk:
Too many Kickstarters promise their backers the world and then take insanely long to deliver or never do so. We don't want to be "those guys". We are only four people at the moment and we can only program and model so much.
That is why we will keep the stretch goals a bit modest relative to some other Kickstarters. We will give you as many cool small stretch goals as we can while keeping the larger projects at a lower number. We could of course promise you the top 5 sets of the community vote and get more money this way but we would rather do less but do it well.
So for starters you will only find one additional set in the stretchgoals, but keep in mind most of you will get the 2 Premium sets and the Syndicate Set anyway. So with the current additional stretch goal set we already have 4 sets in addition to the basic sets on our plate. This will already take plenty of time and we would rather add more sets when we know we have to capability to fulfill them.
We hope you understand this and share our hype about the smaller stretchgoals!
Cheers, Christopher and the Townsmith Team.

Hey guys and gals,
we had some people ask about what is going on with the 40% off and our pricing in general. I guess we did not present clearly enough what is going on, so here is a quick explanation:
The first 24 hours all our "normal" tiers are available with 40% off, those are the SUPER EARLY BIRDS SPECIALS. The following week, all tiers will be available at 20% off as EARLY BIRD SPECIALS. After that, we only offer 10% off as the Kickstarter Special.
Other people asked about the GUILD HEAD and SYNDICATE LEADER tiers. They carry a lot of work with them, so we simply cannot offer to many slots for them. But if you really want one of them, we will release some more slots this evening as EARLY BIRDS.
There will be 5 GUILD HEAD slots and A SINGLE SYNDICATE LEADER during the coming week, all releasing this evening at 6pm CET. After that the same number will again be available as normal Kickstarter tiers starting April 1st.
So set an alarm if you want a slot as we expect them to be gone very quickly.
Me and the team will now brew us some nice german "Kaffee und Tee" and finish up work on the stretchgoals. We will release them later today, so keep posted!
Cheers, Christopher

Hey guys,
We are slowly grasping the reality of how much this Kickstarter is taking off.
As we didn't expect this to go so fast we are a bit behind on stretchgoals and their concept art. We are working on them right now as I write this and we will be back with a stretch goal road-map tomorrow (Germany goes to sleep now).
We are so hyped to have all of you be part of this journey and we deeply value your trust in us!
We won't be answering questions for the next few hours as all of us need to get some sleep. See you in about 8 hours and thank you so much!
Cheers, the Townsmith Team
