Drifters, we approach a new milestone, and soon the close of the campaign. This has been an incredible weekend at Indiecade, where we have made some new friends and finalized some talks (Wii U!). We received a lovely mention on the front page from the folks at Penny-Arcade! Everyone has been so supportive and positive throughout the entirety of the process, and I only expect that to continue once we transfer to the devblog and forums afterwards. I'm am so flabbergasted about this coming week; it's going to be a blast! Here are some tasty bits for you to consume.

Boss Reveal

Name - Xidia (designed by Casey Hunt, our newest Team member!)

Attributes - Mutated hard-light pincer claws inflict crushing phase damage at an incredible reach. Watch out for its venomous mandible strike and spider spawn that screech and leap out at various points in the battle.

Domain - Deep below the Howling Poison Geysers

Add-ons for you!

As promised we have a list of goods you can add-on to your pledge! Keep in mind, you do NOT have to change your tier to add any of the additional components; simply add the stated amount and come survey time remind us of the exact items you added (plus we will know by the amounts added), and things will roll! You can add more than one add-on as well.

A quick note: if everyone of the 19,059 backers pledged another $5, we could up the amount by $95,295 and blast through the Wii U Stretch Goal! That's incredible.

T-shirt - Add $30 to your pledge. Again, DO NOT switch your tier, just add on an additional $30 to what you have already pledged, and come survey time you can stipulate the item desired - plus we will know from the precise amount you upped your pledge. International unavailable for now, though soon to be reveled if this is possible with our vendors without significant cost to you.

The Printed Box + Manual - add $35 to your pledge. Again, DO NOT switch your tier, just add on an additional $35 to what you have already pledged, and come survey time you can stipulate the item desired - plus we will know from the precise amount you upped your pledge. International unavailable for now, though soon to be reveled if this is possible with our vendors without significant cost to you.

We'll be adding more add-ons shortly (Companion Art book, possibly a smaller less-limited print) and hoping to expand with our vendors for international orders!

The Exciting week ahead!

We have a few bits for you to look forward to: either tomorrow or Wednesday, our new team member Casey and myself (Alx) will be live streaming some digital sketching in our official Twitch.tv account! Boom! We will be taking suggestions from the comments, answer questions and yelling at each other with inanities. Join the fun, details forth-coming.

We also have a Smash 64, Smash Melee and Smash Brawl tournament lined up for Friday evening that we will live stream, between all the new teammates (myself, Teddy, Beau and Casey). We'll then be transitioning into a fancy Samurai Gunn super fun 4 man free-for-all tournament live! We'll have special guests filtering in and out - Ashley Birch is confirmed, others to be announced and times that correlate.

We also plan to have a community vote on a new important towns person, with several different options for everyone to vote on.

Don't think we forgot about the new battle video slice. It's coming; we're just polishing it up for reveal.

We're planning to do an AMA on Reddit this week as well, possibly as soon as tomorrow! If people are interested in this, let us know in the comments and we will make it happen!

Also one more boss reveal this week is looming over the horizon. I hope everyone is excited.
