KickStarter Elin (formerly Elin's Inn) - Dwarf Fortress-like from the creator of Elona - now available on Early Access

[Lafrontier]

Damn wish it was GOG sold instead of steam key. The physicals look interesting and it is a damn shame they didn't offer add-ons like the coin by itself.

Yea, sorry about that. GOG is a good platform but keeping up with multiple sites is something we would like to avoid. Maybe after full release.

Is this old news repeated? HERE!

Nvm... i should have read the prev posts.

Currently they're at
$256K+ raised. Good lord.

Elin​

The prequel to Elona, the legendary Japanese free Roguelike JRPG - ローグライクな伝説のフリーゲームElonaの続編

From free to CA-CHING!

Well, it would be nice when they would release it for free, considering they got enough money for assets.

How much is shipping going to cost? For each tier? They added extras at physical tiers you can add on which is nice.

Shipping cost is different depending on where you live, if the shipping cost is over $50 we may ask the backer to cover the expenses.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I guess i should ask: Where is it being shipped from?

Well, I live in the USA soooo prolly hit that $50 shipping if I buy say... the $110 package that has all the physical extras.

I hope you will consider DLsite as well. It's the only place I buy digital games from (DRM-free of course) after GOG went downhill.

Are there some close-up pics of individual memorial blocks?

Also, cheers for including the shipping in the KS instead of via backerkit. Backerkit is a pain in the arse for me at times.

Add-ons seems to only allow 1 extra Block. My favorites here are 1, 3, 5

I saw this message on discord but it is dated a few days. Makes me wonder when or if it already happened.
DISCORD MESAGE

An update has been posted to Kickstarter!

> Information about new pledge tiers and additional backer slots.

may 4th and happened may 7th
Thank you for waiting, we are going to add new pledge tiers and revive one that was full. The two options we have planned are:

• Several new "Wish" pledge tiers without physical rewards for overseas backers(no shipping fee required).
• Reviving and increasing slots for "★Well Drinker".

To make it a little easier for overseas backers to participate, we plan to add them around 8:00(EST) on Sunday, May 7th.

(Which is 9:00(EDT), 22:00(JST) and 13:00(UTC))

We are also considering increasing the number of slots available for other existing "Wish" tiers, but unfortunately, it has become (physically) impossible for us to make any more "Etherdagger" due to the handmade nature of the item. We apologize to those who have been looking forward to it. We are currently working hard to come up with alternative rewards for the dagger.

Can your character prostitute herself to random girls like Elona?

Dwarf Fortress-like

Hopefully there's no trannies.

Sorry for the late reply, a more complete Memorial Block collection is meant to be a benefit of higher tiers. We are packing these up for shipping ourselves so it's already not fun in regards to logistics. We included physical goods for fans, not for profit margin.
The wish tiers go really quick, they seem to last minutes at best. I've heard maybe up to 10 minutes for some tiers.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I'm pretty happy with my choice of 2 total. I chose 1 & 3. I don't want to think of winter cold anymore. So no 5.

We released a few more pledge tiers/addon's for the last week if you want to look, it looks like I was also unaware that noa added memorial blocks as an addon.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Looks like the KS will hit 4500 backers. 2 stretch goals left.

We should hit the create your own guild stretch goal tomorrow, the beginning and the end of a Kickstarter tend to be the biggest backer influx.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

ELIN hit $455,217 and 5,925 backers according to the main page. Nice finish.

Yep, I think I saw you post on the Kickstarter page too.

 

[notpl]

Elona is one of the all-time greats, they deserve the money even if they don't deliver anything at all. I'm sure they will, though, and it will be spectacular.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

May Unknown Realm: A siege perilous suck it when this project delivers.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Any thoughts on also releasing on itchio?

 

[jungl]

thats a lot of money invested hopefully noa buys graphic assets and not pocket it all cuz the graphics look like ass.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Psh. You never took the Stuart Smith approach to life did you?

Sorry for the late reply, I got sick for a while there and I'm just getting caught up on a lot of the Kickstarter stuff now.

I personally like itch.io but I don't think we are considering other platforms until Elin is at full release state and there's a lot of steps before that. Right now we are working on sending out the physical merchandise and noa's started working on backer wishes.

Don't worry, we converted all the graphics to Ascii.
