STICKER SHEET ACTIVATED!
about 7 years ago – Wed, Mar 08, 2017 at 06:54:54 PM

Hello Backers,

Consider this a warm welcome to the new kids on the block. We've SMASHED through the first backer achievement reward. So as promised, instead of focusing on the beautiful nonsense that is back-end development (yet), we will be revealing the sticker sheet.

Twitter and YouTube Goals Achieved!

Each sheet consists of animals and characters from the different worlds of the full version of the game. As sticker lovers, we are very excited to bring both cute and cool stickers that sticker lovers want to plaster or collect and be proud of. 

To go along with seeing the formatting of the sheet itself, take note of the tabs for all the other sheets in the set. Additional sticker sheets will be available as add-ons if you would like multiple. Also an add-on, you can save money by buying the whole set of 6 sheets instead. All the sheets will be revealed when it comes time to choose which sheets you'd like via BackerKit.

Keep pushing on everyone! We are gaining some momentum and we can use it to push through to the finish line. With less that $5000 to go the Prisma will be giving are all to keep everyone updated and informed.

Until next time,

-Hank

Character Profile: Fractal's Swooping In!
about 7 years ago – Tue, Mar 07, 2017 at 06:34:03 AM

 

Hi Gang!

Welcome new backers. As we grow closer to our goal we'd like to start pulling back some of the curtain on some more plot and development elements in the game.And who more perfect to start with than someone backers know nothing about- Fractal.

Fractal is a millennium old, coming from the world before it was what it was. Which is to say there was a much different world before, that has by and large been hit with a big reset button long ago.

In the final lull of the world before, the celestial being of Centaurus appeared to her. Knowing the dire state of the world and unable to manipulate it alone tangibly, it chose Fractal to bond to because she was alone, deserving, and pure of heart. Known as one of their many deities by The Almagest, its curse has transformed Fractal from human to a powerful being with near unbound ability- becoming the witch we know and love.

 

In the millennium that followed, Fractal used her powers to solve others’ problems. This grace extended to much bigger and unusual problems that sway to the side of the very magical. Occasionally she’d run into beings similar to her in that they too were in contact with magical beings and gifted with powers. Some of these beings Ray will come to meet herself in the game, while others Ray will come to fight.

Ray meets Fractal by accident after trying to break into her home unknowingly (more on this in a later update). Triggering the alarm system to her home, Fractal uses her magic to summon Ray to her feet immediately to address the situation. On a quest herself, Fractal understands how to solve Ray's dilemma. She opts to recruit Ray to help her own time-sensitive quest first. This is where the game begins. 

So...What's with the mask?

Good question, me. The root of this question is part of the heart of the mysteries of Prisma and its plot. Masks in the world of Prisma play a very large part of the plot so we don't want to give too much away, but regardless it's much more than an impressive fashion statement. So for now, we will choose to keep that particular secret to ourselves.

Wait. What's The Almagest? Centaurus? I want to know more!  

Contain your excitement, me. We plan on going in depth on all these ideas in the full game. But also, all of the backstory of Prisma will be included in an old-school parchment style world lore booklet for those who back in a high enough tier. But wait, you don't have to wait that long. If achieved, we will reveal Fractal's page excerpt from the booklet with many more details and nuggets of backstory that you may find intriguing. Speaking of which, we seem to be well on our way. Good job everyone!

For now, that's all we have for this update. In the next update we will continue to pull be the curtain by covering some more technical development topics.

Until then stay tuned!

-Hank

Peace Out!

Add-Ons! We Are Close to the Goal!
about 7 years ago – Sun, Mar 05, 2017 at 01:20:03 PM

Hello All,

Welcome new backers. We are almost 75% percent of the way to making Prisma a reality! We appreciate everyone's support so far! Remember to tell all your friends about us!

This update has been a long time coming, and our apologies that there has been a lull in recent updates. The team has been hard at work at GDC trying to make new fans, which may indeed be some of you out there. We want to address Add-On's for pledges in detail here for everyone below.

What is an Add-On?:

An Add-On is a reward that you can get À la carte by adding extra money to your chosen tier reward. It can be any combination of rewards, digital or physical, that we have listed on our campaign. This is most beneficial for those who want multiple game copies or physical rewards, or those who want a higher tier reward (such as a vinyl) but don't have the money to put into said tier.

As a note, this does not include all of our tier rewards. Certain tiers that include one-of-a-kind items and touchstone items like beta access come only with the tiers they reside in or higher.

For maximum effect, if you ARE sure that you want an Add-On, we recommend pledging the extra money during the campaign via adjusting your pledge. It is much more beneficial to the campaign if you pledge the extra money up front instead of later. 

How Do I Select an Add-On?:

Add-On's will be up for selection through BackerKit after the campaign ends. Through BackerKit you can either use any extra money pledged over your selected funding tier in the campaign as currency to select Add-Ons at no extra charge. Alternatively, if you feel like you want an Add-On after the campaign is over but have not added in any money over your tier, you can pay to have the selected Add-Ons of your choosing entirely within BackerKit after the fact during our reward confirmation surveys that we will be sending out to everyone.

For more information on the Add-On process please visit the BackerKit website: https://www.backerkit.com/addons

Backer Achievements!
about 7 years ago – Sun, Mar 05, 2017 at 11:42:40 AM

We are back at it again everyone,


Thanks to all the new faces who’ve joined us in Kickstarting Prisma. We have entered the final 10 days of the Kickstarter.  

But let’s not make it a crawl to the finish. Instead let’s spread the word and make it a marathon to see how far beyond we can go. The Prisma team wants to look ahead and bring you the best experience possible for everyone. So we’ve brought in a meta-game to help aid us all in making the game the best version of itself…  

We are introducing backer achievements to gamify spreading the word to as many eyes as possible. Fret not, there are a lot of potential prizes on the line. From reveals from within the game and tier rewards to (offsite) giveaway unlocks of custom one-of-a-kind rewards.  

 

 

             Twitter                       Tumblr                    YouTube                   Facebook

Fulfill achievement requirements to gain Achievement Progress points. The more points that are collected, the more reveals, rewards, and extras will be unlocked. So spread the word and get the momentum flowing for the campaign- Collect all 12 to unlock everything!  

We are all very close to making our goal. With any luck we can smash the goal and blast right into the running for a stretch goal or two. It all depends on all of you when it comes to spreading the word.  

Rewards are listed below with the achievement numbers to the left. Details and images will appear as achievements are unlocked, followed by detailed updates.  

Achievement Rewards:  

2 -Sticker Sheet Reveal  

4 -Character Reveal  

6 -T-Shirt Reveal  

8 -New Costumes Unlock  

9 -Custom Signed Illustration Giveaway Unlock  

10 -Novel Excerpt  

11 -Character Giveaway Unlock  

12 -Custom Amiibo Giveaway Unlock  

Now everyone is an honorary Prisma scout. Go out and spread the word of the Kickstarter and take the game as far as you can...and who knows? Perhaps become a character in the game yourself.  

And as always, thanks again to everyone who’s backed so far. We appreciate each and everyone of you. Thanks for investing in keeping the dream alive.

Happy Scouting,  

-Hank

Halfway There!!!
about 7 years ago – Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 09:46:49 PM

WE ARE OVER HALFWAY THERE!!! 

We all squabble, we all have our difference, but we all pull together in times of need... 

To assist with the Prisma campaign we turned to our families and close relatives and asked if anyone could help give Prisma a good, solid push. We believe in the project and from the support you've shown us thus far, you do too. We cannot thank you enough for the belief you have for the project and putting your faith in us. 

A new independent developer, strangers sure, but part of a larger gaming family, yes. And that's what we consider all of you, now 100 STRONG! So thank you. Please continue to spread the word share it with your friends and family. Heck, maybe someone would even want to back Prisma as a gift for another friend or family member...

Thanks again everyone. WE CAN DO IT! $8,000.00  and 19 days to go and let's have at those stretch goals!

Until next time,

-Hank
