Hi Ultimates, it's Friday again... which means time for another Project Update!
Welcome to all new and old backers! In this weekly update I will talk about what happened this week and my goals and expectations for the next week.
Project status
Statistics
In 7 days another 211 backers pledged another €11.600 to the dUltimate project (thank you!)
Another 6.000 people visited the Kickstarter page for the first time
Our team of backers consists of 70% from North America and 20-25% from Europe
Stretch Goal #1 unlocked (Translucent Black with Gold paint)
Stretch Goal #2 unlocked (Glow-In-The-Dark with Black paint)
99% of the way to Stretch Goal #2b (Glow-In-The-Dark with Multicolor paint)
Another Stretch Goal (Iridescent Metal with White paint) was set within reach at 100k now!
The folks over at No Dice Unrolled reviewed one of the dUltimate prototypes in English and Italian!
We still have the final sprint in front of us and a lot of exciting things are going to happen!
Promotion
I've been doing several things the past week:
Promotion by myself on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit (both paid and unpaid)
Some of you shared various posts and made your own dUltimate posts (love that!)
We had a successful cross-promotion with Tanares, Puzzles & Props and Healer's dice.
Expectations for next week
End of the Kickstarter campaign
Next weeks update will be when the campaign is over. Just to give you an idea of how it will progress from then on. After the campaign I will work on getting the PledgeBox pledge manager ready. I expect to send it out two weeks after the campaign ends. In the PledgeBox pledge manager you will be able to choose the exact styles you want from the unlocked available styles. Detailed info/step-by-step will follow once I have it ready. Once all the surveys have been submitted I can start the manufacturing stage.
Stretch goals
Looks like the Multicolor Glow-In-The-Dark is as good as ready, and I'm very confident that the Bronze Metal will be in the pocket too before the campaign ends. What happens after that I cannot predict.
Keep on rolling!
