BGDF Team Hits Kickstarter

Jonathan,

Thanks for your comments and checking out the project.

Ruy,

We certainly appreciate you becoming a TAU CETI Backer! You're very welcome on the notification...I certainly wanted to share it with the very community that's focused on Designers (or Developers). As to the successful campaign, Mike and Stan have produced an "eye-watering" rendition of the game. The artist, Santiago has definitely made the requested changes and the aliens are superb. The sector tiles are beautiful, and the pieces created by Mechanoid and Charles Oines are simply wonderful to behold. I remember talking to Mike last year after the first KS, and while I could only impart some knowledge on running a KS, he's been very gracious to accept and adopt a number of my suggestions on a variety of issues. In the end, please let Mike and Stan know how you feel...they love the community and those that share their passion for the game.

let-off studios,

I love the term "blazingly professional" ~ and thank you very much for saying so.

Corsaire,

I'm glad you appreciate the project and yes, given everything that's currently in the box (with more to come and more improvements later), it is a great bargain.

Cheers,
Joe

Wow! We surpassed 600 Backers and achieved our 3rd Stretch Goal!

We've revealed a few more Stretch Goals including the Orbitals and a 6th Race!

Cheers,

Chris,

Great question. It's tough to say if it, specifically, has had an effect, but what I can say is TAU CETI has received a significant amount of attention with Mike's appearance on the Undead Viking's vid-cast, Alaboom, high placement on BGG's Hotness, great reviews, and of course the Breakfast.

The campaign has maintained a steady number of Backers since the second day when all projects experience a delta from their first day's numbers. Additionally, both Mike and Stan respond almost immediately to inquiries at Facebook, Twitter, BFG, and at Kickstarter.

Cheers,
Joe

Thank you, Roll For Surprise! I'll pass along your well-wishes to Mike!

BGDF Colleagues,

We've achieved another Stretch Goal and I'm thrilled that we still have nearly two more weeks of the campaign.

If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to do so...provide comments and feedback as we head to the end of a successful KS project.

Cheers,
Joe

Ladies and Gentlemen,

For those of you have pledged...Thank You!

We've accomplished that which rarely happens...we have 1,000 Backers!

Additionally, we had the following accomplishments:

- Shattered our 1st thru 6th Stretch Goal!
- Completed Social Goals, Social Goals 2.0 & Backer Goal, and Altauri Goals!

There are still a few days left...and we're on our way to break thru a few more Stretch Goals and another set of Social Goals.

I'm thankful to Mike and Stan Strickland for embracing many of the ideas I contributed to TAU CETI, which has added a deck of 72 interesting and exciting Specialists' cards, the deadly Galactic Marauders, and the strategy-driving Objective cards.

Cheers,
Ambassador Joe

Well, during the time I slept last night, we vaulted from $69K to $75K, blowing through two more Stretch Goals! We're definitely reaching the next one, and dare I say, the final one...a custom insert! Set Propulsion to Level 4...here we go!

Cheers,
Joe

Gabe,

Thank you very much! Yes, Mike and Stan have run a fantastic campaign, and I'll chat with Mike in the days ahead about writing an After Action Report of what went well and what could have gone better during the month-long project.

Yes, $100K is within the realm of possibility.

Cheers,
Joe

Mike and Stan Strickland provided an action-packed campaign from beginning to end, displaying the very best in social marketing and tying social goals to the KS; providing tangible, exciting Stretch Goals along the way; and addressing every comment which truly distinguished them from among so many other projects...as evidenced by a Backer total which exceeded 1,500 and a Funding Level of more than 450%!
