The Finale is here!

With just 12 hours left, the stage has been set for what will be remembered as a massive success, all thanks to the fans who made it real!

With our final hours on Kickstarter, and with our amazing followers and fans beginning to pledge their final support, also comes the final opportunity for people to grab some of our sick limited edition rewards!


These final hours can be the most important swing for a Kickstarter, so if you are still on the fence, this is your last chance to support our game here on Kickstarter!


Kickstarter has been an incredible journey for us, from our 2019 pre-Covid Kickstarter, all the way until we grown to what we are today -- all because of you. I have a special thank you to YOU the reader in your emails if you hadn't seen it yet, and if you have already pledged your support, I wanted to make some final notes of appreciation to the people who are helping us on our final hours on Kickstarter!


MOKU TOWER

This is an awesome group on Kickstarter that reached out to us for some final cross promotion!

Moku Tower transforms wood art into an artistic, interactive and strategic dexterity game. The theme of Moku Tower is to integrate wood art into tabletop game. Moku Tower combines the concept of "timing", "stacking" and "strategy" into one single game. It allows you to casually mess round, laugh and interact closely with your cool friends.

Moku Tower is not only a great party game, but also an amazing home decoration that can impress your friends. When you are not playing, you can simply display Moku Tower as an art piece. Each piece of wood has its own unique cutting and angle, making Moku Tower one of your most exquisite and unique home decoration.


Support Moku Tower HERE , because I already got myself a box!

I also wanted to make a special thank you to our early Kickstarter buddy, Gelatinous - Humanity Lost, and also to a very special individual, Haevermaet Anthony, for being so proactive in helping us. They weren't the only ones either, many of you reading this have been the ones who helped us along the way on this journey, and we hope you stick around to see what happens after! 

If it sounds like a goodbye, it isn't! We still have 12 hours on Kickstarter, AND our discord community to join! We have so many things planned just for you, and I hope you trek with us when we go down Below the Stone together.

Thank you, and help us celebrate in the comments, and in our community hub on discord!

Only 36 hours left on Kickstarter!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Oct 02, 2021 at 05:51:10 PM

The finale is just around the corner, and the way this series ends will blow your socks off.

The season finale is just around the corner for Below the Stone's Kickstarter, and we're certain that it will be an legendary ending to a campaign -- because of YOU.

Only 36 hours left to fight!

Many of you know the story by now, in 2019 we had a Kickstarter which didn't hit it's funding goal of $10,000. It was a rough hit to us, but we ended up looking at it as a massive win, due to all the new fans who loved what we were doing. To imagine we would be here where we are today is incredible. The resounding success that we look at today has been the ultimate story of the underdog fighting it's way to the top, and we have all of you to thank for it in our final hours here on Kickstarter.


Final chance at the Below the Stone Big Box!

As we close in on these final hours, we managed to reach our latest stretch goals, find our Big Boxes getting their final purchases, and a wave of fans joining our community, and it has been amazing to watch as developers.


Lets show what we can do as a community, when we are aII Below the Stone together.


Shout outs / Special Thanks:


This short section includes a few special people you should check out here on Kickstarter! We also have a few up and coming Kickstarters you should sign up to!


Midautumn: A supernatural rogue-lite

Midautumn has been super amazing to work with here on Kickstarter, they helped our campaign so much, and we wanted to make a really special shout out to them and let people know that they deserve more attention!

Midautumn is a supernatural game about blasting evil spirits, saving your hometown from gentrification, and Asian diaspora culture. For Robin Lam, crashing at Grandma's was meant to be a break from their responsibilities.

Mankind lost its will to live. This cute-shooting robot is the last hope. Join this Mario with SuperGuns adventure! LAST SOUL's developers helped us some of the most during our early sign ups here on Kickstarter, so we thought it would be perfect to shout them out right before they launched!!


We did win the race to 600 sign-ups against them before we launched, but LAST SOUL is now close to 700 sign ups! -- A place we never got to, help them show us up and sign up below!

Almost 48 hours left! - Unlocked keychains & Kingdom Construction
over 2 years ago – Sat, Oct 02, 2021 at 11:06:50 AM

LAST CHANCE TO SUPPORT OUR KICKSTARTER:

Our recent stretch goal was a HUMUNOUS milestone in our journey here on Kickstarter, and with only 60 hours left. I want to thank everyone for backing us, and also boosting our pledges to get us here! The next 2 days will be your last chance to support our Kickstarter campaign, so if you are on the fence about boosting your pledge for the keychain & Stickers, grabbing a Limited Edition numbered copy Big Box, or even just grabbing a T-shirt, this will be the last opportunity to do it!

Now that we've hit $35,000, we will be rewarding Below the Stone keychains for anyone who ups their pledge by just 25 dollars from the regular game tier, to 50 dollars, as well as all the additional rewards that already come with it! We wanted to do keychains as a tier, but felt the tiers may have been bloated, but now we've made it possible, thanks to you!

New construction will begin at the dwarven kingdom, this time with YOU in charge. After saving them from the caves, you'll unlock the "Builder" NPC at the dwarven kingdom. You will be able to place NPCs where you'd like, build your kingdom's shape, size, and make it into what you want it to be. Thanks to you, this will now be one of the features we begin working on in the coming year!


With your final support, you have made this happen!


LAST MINUTE SHOUT OUTS:

These very special people helped promote Below the Stone in the last few days, so we wanted to return the favor to these awesome projects! Go check them out:


Fractured Veil

Live out the apocalypse in the remains of Hawaii in this PC MMO. Build, explore, craft, survive and keep an aloha state of mind.

Fractured Veil is a survival MMO based in Hawaii. As a clone restored from incomplete data in a recently discovered Veilcorp backup system, players find themselves in a future Hawaii ravaged by the fracture and effects of time. Search for food, find clean water to drink, and build shelter in order to survive mutants and other players.

Group together with other players to explore, share resources, fight powerful foes, and rebuild the world that once was. Check our their awesome campaign here!:

Agents of Influence: Cyber Danger

Agents of Influence: Cyber Danger is a spy-themed educational video game that teaches students how to recognize and combat the misinformation they encounter in their daily lives.

In this game, students learn about topics including data collection and tracking, algorithms, echo chambers, impostor content, logical fallacies, and data fallacies while practicing three critical thinking skills: research, document analysis, and conversations.


Agents of Influence was born out of the realization that if we can’t trust the information we consume every day, we can’t accurately make the decisions that are most important to us. Our goal is to equip this generation of digital natives with the tools and knowledge they need so they can make the right decisions about what matters most to them.


See their campaign here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/altereainc/agents-of-influence-cyber-danger


And of course, THANK YOU to YOU, the reader, for supporting our campaign!

We appreciate each and every one of you, and we hope that the last 48 hours on Kickstarter is just as much of a smashing success as our entire Kickstarter has been so far!


Thank you!
